Vince’s Spaghetti

Vince’s is an iconic Inland Empire spaghetti place. Since moving to Texas I had been missing this place… A LOT! I was excited to come back during a visit with family to find that it hasn’t changed.
Portion sizes are HUGE and I think the price is fair considering how much food comes to the table.
The one and only complaint I have is that the wait times can be pretty long (35+ minutes) and it would be nice if you could call ahead and put your name in.
We plan to come back for another dose of spaghetti before we head back to Texas :)

This place is nothing special and quite frankly very basic. I don’t understand what all the hype is about. We ordered the two pastas they offer, the spegetti and the other thing stuffed with spinach both were nothing special. I don’t recommend this place and it’s quite pricey 48 dollars for nothing.

We must have drove by this place a million times and never once stopped in and for my sons mothers birthday she said that she wanted to go to Vinces so we went and I’m thoroughly satisfied with their food their menus kind of limited but they make up for it with the flavor pack dishes that they serve you

I just received the worst service here, don’t bother with the place or management. Very very rude and inconsiderate. First I called and got hung up on without getting an answer to if I can do take out. I call back and they do not accept phone orders, so I drive down to order dinner for my daughter and I. Guess what no kids items for take out. Then of course it gets topped off with a 20+ minute wait. Don’t waste your time here.

The food is great, but the service is horrible. We were there for a family party, and the manager with the red-​hair was horribly rude. They set chairs too close and then argued that there was enough room. Not certain she understands customer service, but I hope they address this so future parties do not have to endure her horrible customer service.

So much fun to pick up Vince’s spaghetti to go! It’s in cute containers and feels like a total treat. Its spaghetti… It tastes like spaghetti. Some of you Unilocalers swear like you’re a food critic on top chef. Some things In life are about the experience and Vince’s spaghetti is one of them!

So my friends rant about this place. We stopped on our way home. They told me sister no wait & they could seat 7 right now. When we got up there from the car, they are like no, there’s a wait?!? What, make up your mind. It couldn’t have changed in the 2 min it took her to get us, honestly.
Basically spagetti! It does say 95centd charged to share. Really folks? Sad.
We all got the spagetti with meat sauce. 1 meal, 3 kids pasta & I got a ½ order. Good portion size! Good size of sauce too since we like more sauce!
Overall, not bad. I just wouldn’t go out of my way to go there though.

Where to begin with Vinces spaghetti. The first location opened in 1945 and the family recipe continues to be used still to this day. The menu is pretty simple theres meat sauce & marinara. They have spaghetti and mostaccioli pasta. You can also just have melted butter on noodles. The salad is pretty plain just iceberg lettuce with a sprinkle of carrot mostly. The soup is a vegetable soup but be aware I do not believe its vegetarian friendly because I believe it’s made with beef broth. The bread is soft a very tasty Vince’s has cheese or garlic bread. They also have french dip sandwich and a mostasagna (like a lasagna dish) It’s very much so the local place that many families can say they grew up on. Rarely I hear people say they dislike Vince’s but it’s much more common to hear stories of growing up and going as a family to Vince’s spaghetti. Parking can be difficult to find at peak hours if you don’t mind parking in dirt field thats always an option. I personally don’t because I’d rather not risk popping a tire. They have to-​go ordering available as well but they don’t accept call in orders which I have never been a fan of personally. Portion sizes are huge and theres no reason to leave hungry. If you haven’t tried Vince’s spaghetti pack up the family and go on over and give them a try it may just become a new family memory.

The flavor is alright, but it tastes like everything came out of a microwave together, which means it’s rubbery and all tastes the same.
Oh, and when you’re fortunate enough to get the attention of the chick at the takeout counter, as long as she’s not texting or flirting with the cook as you’re trying to convey your order to her, then you might actually get what you ordered and you’ll bring it home and it makes your home smell decent for about a day and a half. It is somewhat nostalgic, well, for me anyway, since I’ve been coming here for decades with my family. Unfortunately, it’s gone so far down hill since then, that it seems the Vince’s prime has come and gone. Maybe they should consider closing their doors and reopening as a family Italian restaurant… Oh wait. –_​– Fried chicken will do.

Stopped by for a late dinner with the girlfriend, felt like eating some spaghetti and meatballs. Been over a year since I been here it was about that time to stop and eat

Sooo good. You have to try the garlic bread it is so delicious and the spaghetti. The service is okay. Depends on what day you go I walked in and ordered to go and got my food in less than 10 minutes and they always get my order right. :)

Vince’s is like a throwback spaghetti restaurant. Back in grade school the spaghetti for hot lunch tastes just like Vince’s. Most importantly, so did the garlic bread. This deadly combination of a simple al dente spaghetti with the butter crispy garlic bread makes me cringe with excitement every time I visit. I have definitely dined at Vince’s at this location and Ontario’s countless times and I have to say it is always consistent.
The portions of the spaghetti, although relatively inexpensive, are very filling. You can share with whomever you’re dining with but they charge for a sharing plate. The sauces on the spaghetti all taste distinctly different depending on if you get the meat sauce (ground meat with marinara), special tomato sauce (cooked with their meatballs), vegetarian sauce (plain marinara) or their white sauce (just butter); trust me I’ve tried all of them by now. The tomato sauce is the one that I’d recommend if you’re not feeling meaty but you can always get a side of their juicy tender meatball. The garlic bread is fresh out of the oven and has that great buttery crunch. It pairs well with the spaghetti by dipping in that excessive extra sauce on your plate or by creating your own spaghetti sandwich… Some of you know what I’m talking about right… Or is it just me? Someone should have invented the spaghetti sandwich in addition to the meatball sandwich by now; it is definitely amazing and packed with carbs!
Service is usually slow on weekends or during dinner hours because of how busy with customers they get. Expect the wait to be long during these times so arrive early if you have a large group. Other than that, their hours open are sometimes hard to follow. There have been multiple times where I’d come here on a whim because I’m just in the area and they would be closed.
Oh and ask for parm and chili flakes for the table!

Running late to work so we tried take out. So far it seems like a great idea. Good food and a service. Not to happy they don’t do dinner take out orders over the phone thou only lunch

Vince’s is always a great place for spaghetti! Came here tonight for dinner.
My family orders the dinner for 2. It comes with enough spaghetti to feed 4 people, salad, soup and either garlic or cheese bread. Everything is always good! I prefer the garlic bread over the cheese bread. Yum! Note: they don’t take to go orders over the phone, however, they are pretty quick once you order at the restaurant.

They will not recognize gastric bypass cards. Even though the food is decent this is enough to make me never come back. People who have had this surgery beware. Only come here if you can split it with someone

My husband and I went on our first date here (the Rancho Cucamonga location) and we’ve been going back for 8yrs now! We love this place. I’m not a big spaghetti fan but I love this place! The bread, the sauce, the salads, the soups all great! The service is always great too! The servers are always very nice… And do a fantastic job with large parties! I also love the atmosphere (at the Rancho Cucamonga) location, it’s very cozy and inviting. We had an exchange student living with us from Japan and we had to take her here, she absolutely loved it!
My husbands family has been going here for years and years!

My papa and I have been going here for yearssssss!!! i loooooooooveee this place! This place is so much better than other spaghetti places! Menu is very simple to order from. Their meatballs, spaghetti sauce, and even their garlic bread are the BOMB!
Portions are HUGE! that’s why there are two options: half or full orders. Half order is still too much for one person. and garlic/​cheese bread are pretty huge too! but so good to pass! LOL! expect lots of leftovers =)
Customer service — this is a very popular restaurant so expect LONG WAIT at dinner time especially on weekends. Their service is good regardless and fast.
Cost — very cheap and affordable comparing to other spaghetti places! so worth it!
Tip: try their meatballs — sooooo good! don’t forget their garlic bread… aaahhhhhhh im craving for them now! if you don’t want to wait so long, they have take-​out too!

I loooooooooove this place! I was told by my lover that this is one of his favorite restaurants to go to growing up… So I gave it a shot.
The menu is pretty simple. Spaghetti with or with out meatballs. Salads. And the typical desserts.
Let’s start off with the portions. It was HUGE. We ended up sharing. Cheese bread was to die for and service was amazing despite how busy they were on a Saturday night.
This is officially my go to place for delicious spaghetti!

I know Vince’s has been around since the 80s and I pass by it all the time. My husband said he hasn’t been here for like 15 years!
We finally made it in this week and came on a weekday around 5:30PM. Wow, seriously was not expecting this place to be so packed! As soon as we pulled in, we saw the parking lot was almost full. Well to our delight, we were seated right away.
They do have a Lunch Menu with 6 items (Mon-​Fri 11:30AM to 2:00PM). Their overall menu is not very extensive (they don’t serve pizza, gnocchi, ravioli, etc.) It’s pretty much Spaghetti, Sandwiches (Meatball or French Dip), Mostaccioli and Mostasagna (which is Mostacciolis layered with Ricotta Cheese, Egg & Spinach)
My husband told me that their portions are rather large from what he remembered. We both ordered Vince’s Dinner which comes with soup AND salad, Half Order of Spaghetti/​Mostaccioli, and a Roll (choice of Garlic or Cheese).
Rich Meat Sauce $ 11.55
Tomato Sauce $ 10.90
The salad was «whatever». We both asked for Italian dressing and it was more like pure red wine vinegar (a bit too sour for my taste and also soggy lettuce). The soup was very tasty.
The spaghetti itself was okay. I’ve had better, but theirs is decent and the sauce was good.
I didn’t get Meat Balls on the side because there was plenty of meat in the sauce. I think next time I’ll order the tomato sauce and get a side of Meat Balls (which are $ 1.95 each). The guy was pushing the cart around to the tables and the Meat Balls looked pretty awesome.
I thought the service was great as they were good on providing us with refills, extra napkins, taking away empty dishes and checking up on us.

This place is small, and inside you can tell it’s been there for a while. Especially since the decorative roofing inside is super dusty. Sitting under it at my booth I couldn’t help but think that dust particles were trickling down into my food.
They don’t offer too many things on the menu and the a la carte and dinner options are pretty much the same. The a la carte gets you the entrée and the dinner option gets you the same entrée but with soup and salad. The soup tastes like tomato sauce with random things inside of it. It really doesn’t matter what they put inside of it because you can’t tell what it is by the taste anyway.
I ordered the mastasagna (?) and I was told it was like lasagna, but it was more like baked ziti. They take the tube noodles from another dish and layer it, I guess, and put ricotta and spinach. Either way they serve it in a pile on your plate drenched in sauce like everything else. All of the pasta/​sauce combinations tasted the same. The garlic bread was really good, it was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside.
The food wasn’t spectacular, but it was good and you can’t argue with the prices. There were seven of us and the bill, with tip, came out to less than $ 120.
