Always a pleaser and it is comfort food. Like most people in the area we were raised on this food.

Me and my family have been coming here for years but last night my spaghetti had a lot of water in it and it was not very good! I seriously hope this place doesn't start to go down hill like a lot of other places are because I really do enjoy the food. read more

A must have for good meat sauce. It's not advertised but you can also get cheese baked on your pasta.

This is not a horrible restaurant but it's definitely not somewhere I would go to again. Portion sizes are huge so if that is enough to sway you into trying this place, then this restaurant may be worth a visit. Customer service was great as well. From the moment we walked in until we left, everyone was attentive and nice. Food was ok. We ordered the Mostasagna and it was cheesy and saucy as you would expect. I will say that there was a bit of a background taste that wasn't my favorite. I am not sure if it was maybe too much oil or butter but it had this oily taste that came forward which was a little off for me. Also the salad was doused with dressing. It felt like you were having salad with your dressing instead of the other way around. If you love ranch dressing, you will love this place. The bread that you get with your meal was great as well but very buttery. It became too greasy for my liking. Honestly I would go to Old Spaghetti Factory instead. Or for good Lasagna or any kind of pasta I would try Old World Deli. Their food is all around great! read more

Our family loves Vince's! Excellent value, food, and service. We love the mostaccioli with meat sauce.

If you are in the area with a large group that wants simple comfort food, this is your spot. We went with about 9 kids and 7 adults. While the wait was a while they do accommodate to large groups. One of the kids wanted spaghetti and he sure got it. We all did. The restaurant looks dated and I believe that's what adds to its local popular charm. And there are large portions. Also, they have white spaghetti on the menu - it just means buttered noodles. read more

Vince's Spaghetti - We Vinces! - Italian Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

So glad we took the time to drive to Rancho Cucamonga from the Coachella Valley to try this place. We arrived right at 12 noon when they opened. Place was already getting busy, so that's a good sign. The service was good. Waitress was really nice and patient with us. The dining area was cute. Rustic looking. The food was served pretty quickly. Portions were nice. Food was hot. Taste was really good. What threw off the whole experience and kept me from giving this a 5 star, was the take out containers we were given to take our leftover spaghetti in. Chinese carry out containers. I ate about a quarter of that huge plate. Plate was probably about 12x7 inches and we were expected to slide that into the small opening of the boxes. We made quite the mess as spaghetti and sauce were running down the sides of the box. Great place, only recommendation is to maybe get different containers for leftovers. read more

Good food. Decent price. Good service. Vince's spaghetti is pretty consistent with its food and service over the years. read more

Great food, ambience & service!! I forgot to take pictures, probably b'cuz I couldn't wait to start eating. We had a great server that made us laugh as we all ordered so much food, he said, "you guys came to eat!" Vince's is one of my favorite restaurants that we miss very much since moving from California. Highly recommend! read more

This place had been on my wish list for years and I finally had reason to be in Rancho Cucamonga (lovely area, but if you're not local, it's a ROYAL PITA to get to with traffic!) so I stopped in for a To Go order. I noticed that they close between 2-4pm (very European, which is cool) and it was 1:30 so I rushed in. I was met with a very strong chemical cleaner smell throughout the lobby, bar and restroom. Very off putting; this should be done during closed hours and what I should be smelling is the food. That said, hours later when I finally got home, we proceeded to have an amazing dinner. So simple - the dinner special for 2, which includes salad, soup, pasta and bread - but wonderfully executed. the meat sauce was to die for - my partner declared it "Elevated Chef Boy Arr Dee" which I know sounds funny, but it's true! The garlic bread had excellent seasoning. The minestrone was the best we've ever had and was even better re-heated the next day. The salad was just basic iceberg with shredded carrots - I added garbanzo beans and Romano and it was delish, as is their house oil and vinegar. We are now craving this, LOL. The problem is, with only 3 locations all in the IE we won't be able to visit that often...but we will keep this as a reminder any time we are in Ontario, Rancho or Temecula! read more

The food was good but the service was horrible. Very rude staff members and hostesses! I have gone here for many years and this recent visit really put me off. When I walked in to put my name in the hostess was rude. The hostess stated she couldn't seat my party till everyone came from the parking lot or restroom. I did not enjoy my experience; Vince's needs better customer service. read more

I've had the spaghetti and meatballs from here multiple times and always taste great!! I took my girlfriend here for her first time and we both ordered the half size spaghetti with meat sauce and she said it was delicious! Very generous portions!!! The garlic bread was also very good and prices are very reasonable! The service was good and food came out fairly quickly. We did have to wait about 15 mins to be seated but usually normal because this place gets packed! There's a lot of seating and the restaurant is very family friendly, also very clean. I recommend this place for some good spaghetti!!! read more

After a disappointing Italian meal from another restaurant, I felt like I needed a redemption meal for some good old fashioned spaghetti. Who doesn't like a good lunch special? I was close by to Vince's so I decided to stopped by. It has a cool old school vibe to this place as it is touted as being along Route 66 and open since 1945. I did enjoy the soup that came with my meal and also enjoyed my spaghetti with meat sauce and the ample amounts of garlic bread. I secretly wish that the garlic bread had more garlic. Maybe I'll ask for that next time. The best part of the meal had to be my waiter. He was extremely friendly and brought my food out with a pleasant demeanor. I'd definitely come back here again in the near future. read more

I must like it cause we keep coming back. Due to their large portions, the left overs taste very good the next day. The price is right the service is good and not bothersome. Like the big booths. Meatballs are good. Everything is very good but I make GREAT spaghetti gravy. When I have a craving and don't wanna cook, I come to Vince's read more

As far as taste goes, Vince's spaghetti is really good however, they do not drain their spaghetti very well and the last several times I've ordered Vince's to go they failed to put the salad dressing on the side, even though they charge extra to do so. Making matters worse both my mom and I had diarrhea the entire next day after consuming Vince's spaghetti, this has happened on multiple occasions, I even mentioned it to a coworker who said he knows somebody that works in the kitchen and puts eye drops in the sauce. but the last occasion was the worst to further complicate the diarrhea I had that day. I was playing in a sporting event and got so dehydrated that I had to quit my sporting event halfway through. I will no longer be patronizing Vince spaghetti for the above reasons and that's a shame because I have patronized this establishment for almost 40 years. read more

This place is great. Order salad is was delicious. Their pizzas are out standing. Their lasagna are great therefore Meat and the most thing I really like about it too. Is the Service is outstanding ever on top of you on all the time asking if you need anything else I recommend this place enjoy. read more

We have been going to the Ontario location since I was a kid, we were asked to go to the Rancho Cucamonga location for a family member that was out of town together. We had 10 people, it was before 5 and they sat us all in a cramped hard to get in booth. Our elbows were touching etc. I did ask if they had different type tables besides the booth, they said they had a banquet area, but that's all they said?! Booths are very uncomfortable. Our server seemed annoyed with servicing such a big crowd, and you could feel the negative attitude. His name was Jesus, we were nice and patient with him. We did ask for separate checks, & he seemed VERY annoyed by that (it was 4 separate checks) He did get a nice tip from ALL of us separately. It made us feel uncomfortable with our out of town company. He didn't check on us as much as we would have liked to. He didn't even take care of us at the end, and I seen him walking around. Now the food is always spot on, it's delicious and always tasty. We won't be back to the RC location due to the staff, and the horrible hard and uncomfortable booths. At least the Ontario location has long open up tables and chairs they can sit you at so that the whole party doesnt have to get up when one person sitting in the middle of the big booth doesnt have to get up. read more

Nothing new to add to other reviews but it is a great place with obvious history. I like that the menu is still small and they stick to what they're good at. The garlic breads are especially tasty. Seems like the servers do a great job as well. read more

Very disappointed with Vince's Spaghetti. This isn't the first time our online order has been messed up, and it's extremely frustrating. They don't take phone orders, so we're forced to order online--which wouldn't be a problem if the orders were accurate. We paid a lot for basic spaghetti, and now one of our family members has to share because their meal was missing. We were all looking forward to dinner, and now someone has to go without. This is unacceptable, especially considering the price and the fact that we rely on online ordering since coming in isn't always convenient. We expect better consistency and attention to detail--especially from a restaurant with such a long-standing reputation. read more

We were looking forward to this place because several friends recommended it. We went at 4:30pm on a Tuesday, so we were surprised to see several other people there at such an odd time - usually a sign that it's good food! However, we had a disappointing experience. We ordered a full size of the mostaccioli to share between the two of us. Because there's so few things on the menu, the speed was amazing! Literally 3 minutes to get our entree!! However, out came spaghetti, not mostaccioli. We didn't realize at first when the waiter delivered it, but only when we put our forks in a few seconds later. We called the waiter back and told him, and he said they would be right back with the mostaccioli, and he put his arms out to take our spaghetti plate. We were surprised, as usually restaurants comp that kind of thing and let you keep it. I awkwardly said something like, "Wait, you guys are just going to throw that away, right?" He replied that they would compost it. He stared at us seriously/blankly, not seeming to understand at all why we were asking. It seemed like such a strange thing... I'm very anti-food-waste, so it was just baffling to me that they would take a perfectly good plate of spaghetti and compost/trash it! He wasn't getting it, so I had to awkwardly say something like, "Well, we're fine with keeping it and taking it to-go or something." He said he wouldn't want us to get charged for two. I said something like, "But you're just going to compost it, right?" I did not say it in an aggressive way - more like a dumb-founded way. He replied very seriously, "We have a very good compost." o_O Anyway, just a couple minutes later we got our plate of mostaccioli (basically spaghetti, but with penne noodles). The serving size was nice and large and more than enough for the two of us. However, the dish was just... pasta. Really nothing tooooo different than what we could have cooked at home. read more

My husband and I have been wanting to try Vinces for a while now, so last night we finally decided to go. It was around 5:30 and the place was moderately full. Seemed like a nice place, ambiance was good, had a good vibe. Hostess sat us at a booth cause that's all they have. We asked if they had ANY tables at all because I have back issues and sometimes need to sit in a chair since the booth seats were extremely high. We were very polite in asking. The hostess asked someone else whom I assumed was a manager maybe. The woman looked annoyed but non the less told the hostess to sit us in back where they serve large families at what I'm assuming is suppose to be the banquet area. It was small and dimly lit. The poorly cracked walls per painted in a dark Maroon. Tiny chandeliers hung all around and oversized pictures of the family hung everywhere. The tables and chairs including the room was reminiscent of the 1940s, in desperate need of a makeover. The prices I thought were really reasonable. We both ordered Vinces Dinner which was about $19 each. Came with both soup and salad, half portion of spaghetti and garlic bread. So the soup and salad come first. Minestrone was very bland. If I didn't have the saltine crackers to dip in it, it wouldn't have had any salt at all. So after a few spoonfuls we move onto the salad. Which was basically lettuce with a bunch of shredded carrots on top with store bought Ranch dressing. That's right! NOT made in house. It tasted like it was right out of the Hidden Valleys bottle. That's a huge No No for me! So we both push that aside and move onto the main course, which was okay. Sauce was a little watery for my taste. I did order a meatball on the side which was the best part of the entire meal to be honest. Our garlic cheese bread didn't come till we were half way through our spaghetti. Garlic cheese bread which had neither garlic or cheese. It was basically buttered bread which needed a little more time in the oven. And she brought the Parmesan cheese after the bread. Which I added to the last 3 bites of spaghetti I had left. So that's why I'm giving them 2 stars. And If I forgot to mention, our waitress also had a bit of an attitude. Which is why we only left a $5 tip. She's pretty lucky she got a tip at all. So all in all, we will NOT be going back! read more

Best sketti's ever! I love it here. My in laws have been going here for decades and now I'm hooked.

Best spaghetti I have ever had. Mostacoli and meat sauce with a bowl of cheese! My favorite meal. I live in Redondo Beach but will drive to Rancho at least once a month to get a to-go order! read more

My date and I were able to come here around 7pm and only waited about 10 minutes. I think we were able to beat a dinner rush so it will be a good idea to come a bit early for peak times. The interior felt historic with the amount of old and new construction but overall very spacious. The food was good! The soup and salad were nice openers, the spaghetti was a massive portion for the price and it was yummy. I think there was SOMETHING missing in the spaghetti in terms of flavor to hit me with the 5 stars, but overall, I think that this place has a great affordability, a straightforward menu, and I enjoy the overall experience. 4/5 read more

Last night, my daughter and I ate here at this iconic Italian restaurant off of Foothill Blvd Route 66. I have been coming here for many years. It is such a wonderful place to be while laughing and making new memories. It was nice being here. The restaurant appeared spotless inside and outside. Our server lady was so attentive, and each other person that brought utensils and food out were very kind. We got so much food to last us through dinner and for a couple of days of awesome leftovers! We ordered 2 full order dinner plates of the Mostaccioli with meat sauce, which was so good! The dinner comes with salads. She had ranch and I had Bleu cheese dressing. It also came with cups of minestrone soup and two garlic breads each. To quench our thirst, my daughter had cherry Pepsi, and I had water. Most excellent meal! You gotta come here!!! See you again soon, Vince's!!! read more

Not sure what happened. Food is usually delicious and spot on. We ordered take out and i had drain at least 1/2 a cup of salad dressing out of the paper takeout box and dressing is still coming out after i dumped it on a plate. The salad was wilted and inedible. Maybe someone new working in the back. Not sure. Very disappointing as we live over 30+ miles away. read more

Vince's Spaghetti - Takeout wilted salad - Italian Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

Ah, Vince's Spaghetti! Five stars, and I'd give them a sixth if Yelp allowed. Imagine, in my day, pasta was a rumor told by sailors -- "long ropes of flour you twirl on a fork!" they said, and I thought them drunk. But here in Upland, they heap it by the mountain. The sauce is a crimson river, richer than a king's treasury, and the meatballs are so mighty they could be used in battle as musket shot (though it would be a shame to waste them). The bread arrives warm as a hearthstone, ready to rescue every last drop of sauce like a faithful squire. The place itself feels like a banquet hall for the common folk -- loud, cheerful, and overflowing with portions so generous I nearly wept into my napkin. Vince's is no mere meal, it is a rite of passage. Five stars, and long live the noodle! read more

Whew!! Loosen your belts and wear some leggings. You'll thank me later. When you walk in there a ramp down to the bar and the host stand is to the right near the dining room entrance. We arrived right as they opened so there was no wait. We ordered the full size spaghetti with provolone on top. It came with a small side salad, soup, and bread. Pro tip: put the provolone on top of the garlic bread and dip into your spaghetti. That way you don't pay extra for the cheesy garlic bread. The food here is always good. They know what the people like and they aren't changing it. read more

Love this place ! Yummy food, great prices and very good service. We have always lived in the IE and it is a staple of the community.

Since moving to the Rancho Cucamonga area a few years ago, I've wanted to try out Vince's. I have nostalgic memories of Vince's from when I was a kid. We came to Vince's when I was 11 or 12. I had good memories of the experience. So when my wife asked be where I wanted to go for my birthday dinner, of course I said "Vince's ". When we arrived the parking lot was packed. I was excited by that, thinking it must be really good food. I was disappointed by my experience. 1. The interior of the restaurant was old and Dusty. Old is okay with me but when you don't take the time to clean your restaurant for so long that the architectural elements and decore has a noticeable layer of dust, that shows a lack of respect for your customer, which is unforgivable. 2. Our server did not greet us. He did not introduce himself. He just walks up to the booth and says "What can I get ya". The service got no better the rest of the evening. Sitting drinks, salads and soup at the edge of the table for us to sort out. 3. The food was memorable for all the wrong reasons. The salad was straight out of a bag. The soup appeared to be straight out of a can. if it wasn't canned they should consider switching to a canned product because what they are serving does not taste like it was scratch made. The sauce was heavy, bitter, and over cooked. It lacked the brightness and zestyness I expect in a good sauce. The biggest fail though was the amount of water in the bottom of the plate. Come on man just drain the pasta! I know a lot of people love Vince's but I was really disappointed with the entire experience. The lack of respect for the customer shown by not cleaning the restaurant, not properly training wait staff and not caring about The quality of their food really made the whole evening a waste of time and money. I see a lot comments indicating the low prices. Dinner for two with a beer and a wine was $60. That's not inexpensive. read more

I attended a group dinner on Saturday night. (13th Dec)They shoved 2 groups into one room. The waitress had the guest pass other guests plates down to end of table because there was no room between the chairs for her to walk. The waitress stood behind me. She bumped someone's plate onto back of my head causing red spaghetti sauce to get on my hair and shirt. I said WHAT THE she said sorry. She did nothing to assist cleaning. read more
