I virtually grew up eating here throughout my childhood years - every Sunday we would dine at Vincents, I have always had positive memories & this is certainly where my love of Italian food stemmed from. From the wood fired pizzas to the fries and pasta dishes this certainly is a delicious addition - Beach rd Beaumaris! #YUM
I’ve been coming here since my 30th birthday (and now I’m heading towards 50...) where I was looking for somewhere I could get a steak and my dad could bring his own wine. On a busy night you can also request a table upstairs with a view of the bay (although they don’t open upstairs on a quiet night which is a shame). I’m still getting my steak there at least once a month. I also love the garlic pizza. If they happen to have an eye fillet on the specials board definitely get it! Otherwise the standard porterhouse on the menu is excellent. I like mine just under medium-rare and they always nail it! Occasionally their younger wait staff are not great, but I’m sure it’s just when they are still in training. Same owners the whole time I’ve been there and usually the same manager, who is delightful.
Hmm not sure where to start. Stopped here at Vincent’s for a meal. Arrived unannounced and managed to snag a table outside with Mrs Ricco (not her real name) and our 2nd child (not a human more the canine variety).
On a serious note very happy with the meals and the quality. The young waitresses did a greater job. What they lacked in experience they more than made up for with enthusiasm. The portion sizes are spot on. I had the Pescatore and Mrs Ricco the chili prawn pasta. Is this fine dinning? No. Is it KFC?
It is a good quality cafe that specializes in Italian food. I read some of the reviews and after doing so though I must have been at a different establishment. Don’t take my word for it give it a go I think you might be surprised.
Cute place by the ocean. Hosted a dinner party and was given a good deal. Food is reasonable, deserts are large and very enjoyable. Staff are friendly and willing to have a chat.
Slow and inexperienced staff despite the place not being too busy. I had the Morrocan Chicken Risotto which was fantastic. I also tried some of the duck which was flavourful but it was also dry which was unfortunate. Great restaurant but the food is not quite up to scratch with quality and the staff need to be more aware of all tables to ensure all tables get better service.
Tried and proven over the last 10 years - a Family favorite or just my wife and I enjoy this no fuss honest, well valued establishment. Everything offered ranging from wood fired oven pizzas to pasta to meat/pork dishes is well presented, portioned, and tasty. Family relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff, prompt service.
Delicious woodfired pizza and BYO wine. Need I say more?
The desserts are excellent too, if you can manage it after filling up on pizza.
Went to Vincents today for a family Easter celebration. We were a group of 17. The service was great, food was delicious with very generous serves. We had a set menu of a shared entree and a choice of a main. I would only have one suggestion, we need more bread to eat the delicious antipatio.
Have been frequenting this restaurant for years, always a safe 'go-to' restaurant for birthdays/special nights/taking visitors out for dinner or just for a very well priced meal deal.
The quality of the food has always been consistent across the entire menu. The Caesar Salad is the best I've ever had, that dressing is just perfection.
Thanks for the consistent food, speedy service and brilliant pricing (especially the dinner specials).
Picture: $20 dinner special with an Aussie pizza (half was too quickly devoured before I remembered to snap a pic!) + Caesar salad & a red wine.
Great value for money, love the dinner specials. For $20 I got a main pizza, with a salad and drink. The atmosphere was great and the staff were friendly.
Had a great a dinner with the family, seafood platter to die for and steak cooked to perfection, would definitely recommend this place to others for great food and such friendly and attentive wait staff
Came here for dinner lastnight. Had a calabrese pasta and the wife had a duck and meals were lovely all round. Service was great and very attentive which made our dining experience so much better. Definitely will be back for more and recommend others to go
Been coming to Vincents for a lot years, thought I'd write a review about what a great time I have had on every occasion. Not sure what all the bad reviews about, Vincents has been nothing but consistent for last 10 years of visits. Food is always great, with amazing value, & the always friendly service makes for an enjoyable experience at Vincents. Great for families and get togethers. Definitely recommend
I visited this restaurant for the first time on Saturday night. We found the staff extremely friendly & the food was delicious!! Great value for money & great service. Will definitely be coming back!
Great service and a great place for Christmas parties. Beautiful authentic Italian food. They have a lunch menu for students on a budget. They give A LOT of food!
Works for me!!. Been going to vincents last few months on various occasions..value is great & enjoyed the meals. Staff are so friendly, accommodating & provide great service! Love the service & atmosphere, a place the girls are always smiling!!!
Had dinner at Vincent's last night.
Was warm and friendly. Had the pie special which was tasty and sizeable.
Vincents was great !. A group of five friends had Saturday lunch at Vincent's. This is my sixth visit and the restaurant is consistently friendly with a nice ambience and most importantly delicious meals. There is a large variety of pasta and they have a home made touch. The cannelloni is delicious as were the other meals. Wood fired pizzas are delicious Salads are fresh and varied to accompany the meal. The house wine is fine, The $13.50 lunch and $20 tea are amazing value, and you aren't compromising on service or food quality choosing this option.
Nice meals, good price and friendly service. A local favourite :)
I am so happy I know about Vincent's just am all round really happy! Love it
Very good and prompt service! Was able to alter dish to add bacon to my pasta and dessert and coffee were delish!

Always spot on....... A table for eight please.... A cosy place, fantastic staff and outstanding food. Wood fire pizzas were mouth watering and all food from the kitchen was spot on. A fantastic specials board and most important, the kids ate all the food. I recommend it for anyone.
Vincent's Cafe Restaurant. The best lamb shanks in my life. They melted in my mouth with a succulent sauce. The chef was a wizard. Friendly, professional service and offers value for money If this is what they can do, I'm coming back.
It's still the same - but that's OK. Vincent's never changes - good but not gourmet food, reasonable service and good value for money. You can still take wine but they now charge for corkage (so something changed). The menu remains the same as it ever was with the set price lunch/dinner of main, salad & glass of wine They could change the menu (apart from the prices that is). Take mum and dad.
Iconic restaurant. Have been dining at Vincents for as long as I have lived in the area and never had a bad meal there. It's a great place for lunch, too. Their lunch special must be the best deal in Melbourne. I get take away from there as well and their wood fired pizzas are the best in the area. Love the staff, always happy and helpful! Can definitely recommend this place!
What a gear place this is table for 8 had great meals & fine wine we will be back!
Wow! What a great place!! Amazing pasta and wonderful service. They will split the bill as well. Lunch special $13.50 with a wine. Definitely will come back and try a different dish.
Excellent food, great service, very reasonable prices. Toilet light needs fixing though!
It was an enjoyable experience overall. The staff are very friendly and helpful, even on a busy night.
The price is reasonable too.
Unfortunately my dish, which was the Lasagna, was average. The pasta was overcooked and it lacked flavour.
My partner did not have the same complaint with her seafood based dish though.
I guess it depends what you order.
An unexpected lunch stop whilst travelling resulted in a delightful lunch! Delicious authentic Italian pasta, generous serve for lunch & excellent value for money. To top it all off the service was outstanding!
Highly recommend.
A huge thank you to Sandy & the team at Vincents for catering so well for our family (33 people) celebration of our daughter's 18th. The food was great, the service was friendly, accommodating & professional. We couldn't have asked for a better evening. Thankyou again!!
This is my local pizza joint and I bloody love it. The food is very good and the service is really friendly. I find them to be consistent, to the point that I probably get take-away far too often. Very casual, great at accommodating all - young families, big groups, date night, etc. Top picks; Wood fire Calabrese pizza and chilli prawn pasta. 👌🏻
