Vince's Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria — Restaurant in Burien

I've been to Italy, I'm picky, I'm a foody. Nough said. The menu is big enough to offer something for everyone without being overwhelming. The same can be said for the food. The marinara sauce is so flavorful without the typical acidity or sweetness. I have a terrible stomach (so bad I had surgery recently), and it didn't give even a hint of heartburn! Amazing. The bread...I just can't. You're gonna need to try it for yourself. That's bottomless, free, and they are very generous. They even send a little more with your leftovers. Did I mention that the server packages your leftovers separately per plate!?! Incredible. I just can't say enough good things! Here's some more... The pizza is as traditional as traditional gets. Straight out of an Italian in Italy pizza oven. It's flat, the cheese is fresh sliced - yes, sliced off a fresh ball of mozzarella. The basil is whole leaf. The dough doesn't make you feel like you sucked a bunch of gas in with every bite. It's just simple and yummy in its simplicity. All the food is that way. The only ingredients added are what is expressly needed to bring the food to its best flavor; period. No more, no less. I can not tell you how refreshing Vince's was. Im so tired of going to the supposed Italian restaurants, paying double what we did here, getting less food, and less flavor. Vince's blew all of my expectations out of the water. I will absolutely drive farther from home to eat here again and again! We were celebrating my niece's high school graduation, so we were at the restaurant for 3½ hours. No one ever glared at us or bothered us again after we...

My family has been eating at Vince's for over 40 years, but after this last experience, we'll sadly have to pass next time. While I understand the pandemic has affected all aspects of the retail industry, including staff shortages and food supply, that still gives no excuse for burned or incorrect food. I ordered a Caesar salad with dinner, but instead, received mixed greens and carrots drenched in some sort of ranch / Bleu cheese dressing. I also ordered my favorite dish at Vince's -- the cannelloni di magro, which is only spinach and cheese (no meat, though I'm in no way vegetarian), but it arrived so incredibly burned, it was scorched to the dish and the cheese was black. It also was so over-salted and tasted heavily of something seafood -- shrimp or fish, and after only 2 bites, it just wasn't edible. I love seafood, but when I'm not expecting it / didn't order it, it's definitely a disappointment. My husband ordered the spaghetti bolognese, but it arrived with the pasta undrained and sitting in a pool of water. The one saving grace was our kids pizza -- one cheese and one pepperoni -- and both were delicious and the crust perfect. Overall, such a disappointment after all these years and not worth the $70 we paid -- though we gladly would've paid double if the food had been edible. I sure hope things turn around for Vince's, since they have had such a history...
