We were not happy with our entrees. The bread was delicious but the pasta was not special (they said it was homemade). I had pasta with chicken piccata. It was a lightly lemon and cream sauce (I expected more of a wine, lemon, butter, garlic sauce) and the chicken was fried. The Brussels sprouts were fried, tasty but greasy. Another dish we had was drowning in oil and needed flavor. I would not come back. Our waiter was sweet as was the hostess at the front door.

We had a wonderful dinner at Vincent Chicco’s tonight! We had the smoked mozzarella and the mushrooms as appetizers, which were amazing. Our entrées were delicious as well. The service couldn’t have been better, the ambience was great, and the noise level was perfect, so we could carry on a conversation at our table. Highly recommend it!

Not sure if we were here on an off night, but food was a bit bland. Needed more salt in the meatballs, chicken parm, & chicken piccata. The smoked mozzarella was excellent though, best part of the dinner.

We enjoyed our holiday family dinner at Vincent Chiccos! From the gingerbread old fashion holiday cocktail to the yummy bruschetta appetizers - everything we ordered warmed our hearts and our tummy’s. Thankful for such a wonderful staff and experience for our family tonight.

Wanted a nice diner before going to see the Nutcracker ballet. The bruschetta was inedible. Couldn't even bite through it. They did take it off our bill but was shouldn't even have been an issue for an italian restaurant. The chicken parm was mediocre. The short rib was overcooked and not as tender as that dish usually is. The smoked parm cheese triangles did not pair well with the dipping sauce. The $18 scallops appetizer (3 scallops!) was a little chewy and overpriced. I think this may have been one of the most disappointing dinners we've had downtown Charleston. We will not be back unfortuately.
