Vincenzo's Italian Bistro - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

I really enjoyed the fall salad- had it two nights in a row! The focaccia with dipping oil is amazing!

Amazing Bartender, very friendly and knowledgeable.

I had an excellent experience at Vincenzo’s *Lady's Night*. The atmosphere is cozy and modern, with decor that sets the perfect vibe for an enjoyable evening. The service was outstanding, with attentive and friendly staff throughout the night. Both the food and cocktails were of surprisingly high quality. The flavors were well-balanced and beautifully presented. I left feeling very satisfied and will definitely return. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a special night out!

Overall the cuisine was excellent. The only issue was with the chicken parm, the pasta was way over sauced and the cheese on top was barely melted. The dish would have been better with the cheese properly melted, browned and bubbling when arriving to the table. The salads and ravioli were excellent. The service was good too.

The food here is fantastic. Love the atmosphere and live music. Most of all Michael takes care of us at the bar every time we come !

Food was excellent. Had scampi, halibut and grilled octopus all perfectly prepared. Our server, Brady was outstanding as was the bartender Michael. We were disappointed when we moved to the bar after dinner and there was no music. The bar used to be packed but tonight only a handful of us. We had a cocktail and moved on. Hope you can bring back the music soon.

Michael, made the perfect drink for the evening, a paper airplane. Bourbon never tasted so good. I will definitely be back.

We are locals and just heard of this place and we are so glad we checked it out. Michael at the bar was great, this will become one of our regular spots.

Located inside the Courtyard Marriott this little hidden gem provides excellent service and delicious fresh Italian cuisine. Definitely recommend.

Excellant service by our waiter Brady. The food was amazing.

Friday night 7 women no reservation made they asked if we’d like to go to the bar area sure no problem. Michael was our bartender/ waiter very friendly and helpful. We were the only ones in the bar area so we had his full attention and service mind you there is 7 women and yes we were a little loud he even had the chef come out to meet us very nice touch food was great portions weren’t overly huge we saved room for dessert. I had the cannoli and it was fantastic as well as the chicken Parmesan . We’d go back the next time we are in the area. Thanks Michael for the great service will ask for you next time for sure.

We celebrated our 34 year anniversary here today. The food and hospitality were amazing. Highly recommended.

I wish the live music came back. The atmosphere is drastically different due to the lack of music. Mike is one of the best bar tenders I’ve experienced.

This place is amazing, from the food to the service! Mike kills it! The allure of the restaurant has taken a huge hit since the live music stopped. Hopefully they bring it back 🤞🏼

Phenomenal Italian food that I would rate among some of the best I’ve ever had!

Our server, Brady was excellent. The food was great. We had a wonderful dinner here.

We lived in Italy and I want to say this: The food is ok, but it has nothing to do with italian resepies. 3 dishes, and all of them are totally different than they should be.

We are locals and always skeptical about eating at a restaurant inside a hotel. But this was a great dining experience. The service was amazing and the food was great. A window table definitely adds to the allure of fine dining. Our waiter Brady was awesome! Always there when we needed something and explained all the dishes and specials since it was our first time there. We also noticed a couple other locals/repeat customers. Would highly recommend

Food was mediocre at best, had a great server though. Went on a Thursday ... there was no music. The atmosphere was nice. Not horrible but wouldn't go back.

Dude - the half chicken!!! 5 and a half ⭐ Got noodles for the kids and steak for the wife. Food was excellent. Quickly prepared. Had time for two beers at the bar (perfect). Only knocked it on the atmosphere because the food quality out matches the smallish dining area. The dining area is actually nice just seemed smallish. The food needs a bigger venue. We actually took it to go and we were WOWed to say the least.

A great place and experience for me and my wife! The food was excellent and the services were great! A peaceful place for couples and small families. Enjoy!!

Chicken marsalla was unbelievable. My wife loved the lobster ravaoli. Impecable service. Our waitress was a doll and brought us free chocolate covered strawberries with our bill. Wonderfull spot for a date night.

Michael is the best ! I had a great time :)

Michael was great! Makes the best drinks and the chef’s specials were amazing.

Our best meal of the vacation trip. Sat at the bar and had a great time talking while the table set up. Our waiter was spot on. We also had a water view table.

Kersha was very timely and attentive. Well served with wine and food, and the atmosphere of the place was all very pleasant. Will be coming back here in the future.

Hours of operation say open until 11:00pm, arrived at 9:30pm and was told the kitchen was closed. Lame.

Our bartender/server Michael, was very knowledgeable, informative, and personable! The food was VERY good and he ran a very smooth one man show in the bar. We definitely will be back on our next trip to Destin!

Real Italian taste, I can say this is one of the best here.

Our waitress, Keisha was very friendly and Pleasant

Great meal! Start to finish could not have been better. I'm from Kentucky and will make sure I eat here again when I am nearby.

Our server, Keisha was extremely kind, welcoming and very attentive to our needs. Her smile and kindness made my husband and I feel so comfortable. We thank Keisha for serving us our delicious chicken cutlet parm.

First time here and we enjoyed and loved the food. Our server was Kersla and she was amazing and kind! Highly recommended!!

Enjoyed a wonderful meal hidden in the Courtyard by Marriott. I have special dietary needs and our waitress Kersha made sure that my meal met my needs. I had the Mussel and my husband had the Shrimp Scampi, both cooked to perfection. Later in the evening we stopped for dessert. We shared the Strawberry Cake and listened to music from the bar. A special Thanks to Kersha for a memorable evening.

Absolutely fantastic food, the only thing that was better was our magnificent server Jordan. He was well versed in the menu which greatly helped us decide the dishes we chose during this fine dining experience. All three courses we ordered we amazingly delicious. This is our new favorite dining destination.

The restaurant is located in the Courtyard Marriott. The food was so delicious. This was our first time going here to eat and it did not disappoint. Brady was extremely helpful and informative. We will definitely go back.

Excellent experience! The food was amazing, service was top notch!

Don't be discouraged for being at an hotel. The restaurant operates independently. The service was superb, and the food was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend the osso busco and tiramisu for dessert. Best restaurant in Okaloosa by far.

The food was great, and the service was really good. Our family had so much fun talking and being goofy! I wanna thank our waiter Jordan, he presented the food really well! I recommend the lemon cake, and shrimp scampi! Enjoy! -Lorraine .M 10 yrs old

This is as an unexpected dining experience in every way. The food was AMAZING (thank you sous chef Keith and head Chef Aagh), Michael our waiter/server/bartender made our visit so very pleasant and the entertainment should be making records and playing on the radio!!! Top 3 of my dining experiences for sure!

Had a lovely meal with personable service and live music.

Best shrimp scampi I’ve ever had!! Our server, Jordan H, was hilarious, informative, and super cool, amazing place to eat authentic Italian!

We stumbled upon this place and highly recommended, HIGHLY!!!! Incredible. Every single item we ordered. Four appetizers, 7 meals, and the staff, ALL were amazing. Don’t let the hotel restaurant stear you away. It was phenomenal. Our server was GREAT! He made the night. Michael, THANK YOU!

First time there last night and I will be back! The specialty drinks and BT’s music in the lounge were awesome. Next time I will try the food. Oh and the bartender made unbelievable drinks!

Excellent service! Kamala and Sous Chef Keith were amazing, attentive and ensure my allergies were accommodated without affecting the flavor. The octopus was excellent and done perfectly, which is not easy to do nor have I found in this Fort Walton Beach/Destin or Miramar area. Def a hidden gem!

DO NOT GO HERE. First. It took longer to get a waiter to take our order than it was to get our food. The food was terrible.. the spaghetti was so spicy it set your mouth on fire and the sauce was almost pure water. Had about as much flavor as a tc dinner. The noddles on all of our meals were undercooked and 99% sure the Alfredo was microwaved.. legit crunchy..for $50 per person, I've never been more disappointed in my life and that's 100% real

Mixhael and Jordan were amazing and they are very attentive and so kind. Thank you for the wonderful service.

If we could give Kamala a higher rating besides 5 we sure would. We were there Saturday night and had great food but Kamala went above and beyond to make our visit great. She is wonderful

We always enjoy our meals and having drinks here! So good.

Michael makes the best old fashioned I’ve ever had, and is a great conversation and great guy!

Michael has to be the best bartender in Florida. He made us delicious cocktails and recommended the best food I've had in all of Okloosa. You guys are lucky to have him. He gave us the best service, cured my cancer with his jokes and charm. I will be nameing my next kid after him. Michael,... Forever!!!

The food was amazing. The bread and oil was on point. The lobster ravioli and seafood pasta was the best. Capped it off with cannoli—awesome. Our sever and bartender was Michael, he was great, made great recommendations and made sure we had a good evening. Definitely recommend!

We had an amazing time. Our server Kamala was a god sent perfection and made sure we had the best time. It was my friend’s bday and she came through with the bday song and candle. She gave great recommendations really a 10/10. Thank you again Kamala!

Our waitress Kamala was so friendly and good with our kids. She was excellent even though they were understaffed.

kamala was amazing!! she helped us pick our food and made my friend very happy the day of her birthday ! 10/10 really recommend

Great food! Great wait staff. Had the chicken marmalade and it was excellent.

Kamala was AMAZMING! She made me friend’s birthday so amazing. 🤍

We really enjoyed our meal. The food was very good. We really enjoyed the bruschetta. The dipping sauce that came to the table for the bread was amazing. We did not feel rushed to eat it. The staff was very attentive, especially our waitress Kamala. Lovely view of the ocean. Definitely will come back.

Wonderful experience! Delicious focaccia bread. We shared a Caesar salad, and I enjoyed some steamed mussels. Different flavor than usual, more savory, but, delicious. I ordered the veal parm and my wife had chicken piccata. Both excellent! Kamala’s service was impeccable. She was pleasant, knowledgeable, efficient, and always available when needed without hovering. If I had to picky, I would say that I wish they offered additional traditional fare, such as lasagna and pasta with meatballs, but it’s a very minor issue for me. Again, a wonderful experience! Richard and Julie Frazier

The food was excellent and had great flavor. Kamala took great care of us and was great with my kids. I would highly recommend visiting if you’re in the area.

Here with my sister-in-law who recommended dinner here…from the table by the window, to finding out they serve Meiomi Pinot Noir (my very most favorite IYKYK), to the delicious food, to the incredibly attentive staff (Nicole recognized my sister-in-law from a previous visit) this was a WONDERFUL dinner experience!!

Nicole was amazing! Great tasting food!

Service was amazing! Nicole was awesome at asking us many questions and very sweet!

Kamala our server was FANTASTIC!!!

Michael is the absolute best. He makes every meal feel special and takes care of us at every step. And the chef always makes the most incredible meals. We love love love this place.

Nicole was super sweet and took excellent care of us!!!

Food was Great and the service from the bartender (Mike) and our waitress (Nicole) was even BETTER!! Nicole couldn’t be nicer nor more attentive! Thank for a perfect dinner.

Nicole was a fantastic waitress. She made sure we had everything we needed and our food came out quickly. Our food was delicious. This is the best food we have had so far on the island. Definitely recommend!

Food was very good. A little on the salty side but very good. Nicole was an amazing server. Atmosphere is very upscale. However, for as nice of a dining experience, the music volume could be not as loud.

Nicole provided amazing service and the food was delicious though a tad salty. Great atmosphere and view of the gulf.

Excellent Carbonara, pork oss bucco, spaghetti and meatballs, and puttenesca. Got one of the best ribeye steaks of my life! The bartenders are truly a credit to their profession. Never got a bad meal. I'm an extended resident at the hotel.

The food is wonderful and there is a lot of attention to detail. The staff is very professional and ensures that you have a great experience. The bartender, Michael, is great and always has good drink and food recommendations.

The food was great! The service was fantastic! So nice! The chef came out to meet us and ask how everything was and they threw in some dessert. Definitely a must try!!

Michael was an amazing bartender! My cocktail was fantastic and the food was amazing. I highly recommend the bruschetta. If I could give 10 starts for service I would. I will definitely be back.

Nicole is awesome! Made us a great mojito!

My wife and I had a tremendous experience dining at this hidden gem! Our waiter Brady is a real professional and he helped make our experience phenomenal. The food was great and everyone was kind and attentive. We will certainly go again and likely take some friends. The only negative and what affected the atmosphere rating had nothing to do with the lovely dining room and ambiance but the reality that tourists traipse through the dining room directly from the beach in various states of undress. Not enough of a nuisance to destroy our experience but a bit annoying.

We had an amazing experience! Kamala was our server and very attentive. The sous chef stopped by our table a couple of times to make sure the food was good. Most importantly the food was impeccable and with a lovely ambiance with great soft live music in the background. Highly recommend this place!

I cannot say enough good about this restaurant every item we ordered was phenomenal. The service was excellent. Best bison ribeye I have had anywhere. The tomahawk was amazing. Calamari awesome. The chef here is top rated. Highly recommend this restaurant!

Service from Kamala was great would recommend to friends

Nicole was amazing! Colossal shrimp and shrimp Alfredo was divine. The live music was a plus as well.

Nicole our waitress was phenomenal! She recommended the shrimp alfredo and it was the best shrimp alfredo I’ve ever had! Great live music, great atmosphere, and great service overall.

Our waitress Nicole was amazing. Very knowledgeable with real recommendations from expedience. Food was amazing Lobster Ravioli and Chicken Parmigiana. Best tiramisu! Environment very relaxing and enjoyable. Would recommend to anyone.

Some of THE best Italian food we've ever had. I would post a picture of the grilled octopus, but we ate it so fast I didn't have time. But I did get pics of the Chicken Marsala (the best I've ever had), and the Shrimp Puttanesca. Also had a side of grilled asparagus. And the prices were very reasonable for such high-quality food. Kersha was SUCH a wonderful server!!!! When you're tired of eating fried food at the beach, this is the best. Like home cooking, but way better.

Where to begin? Nicole is such a wonderful person and made me feel like family! Please continue to provide service with your heart! Mike is also a welcoming bartender with a personality that makes you lose track of time. I will most definitely come back because of the hospitality of these two special individuals even if I’m staying at a different hotel. And the chicken Alfredo was amazing. I did not expect to receive something so tasty from a hotel restaurant.

Kamala was awesome and Keith was also. Need to change policy about bread extra charge - provide enough bread initiallly.

Kamala was a wonderful server and Keith the sous chef came out personally to shake our hands and ask about our evening. Food was amazing, shrimp scampi, lobster ravioli and pompano!

Delicious and excellent service! Lobster ravioli was Devine

Amazing. Hidden gem in Destin/FWB! Best italian ive had in a long time. Lobster ravioli/chicken alfredo

Our first time here...amazing. Kersha was great. We got to meet Kieth (sous chef) as well. The food and atmosphere were fantastic. Definitely enjoyed the Limoncello Mascarpone cake!

Great service by Kamala and great food!! Keith coming out to meet us was a pleasure.

Service was top notch...drinks were brought perfectly timed and poured for us, nice touch. Food was served perfectly timed after a huge party was before us. Excellent. Excellent food. Chef came out and asked us how it was and what we could do better. Very very impressed by the professionalism and care in the art of making food for people. Very impressed. We'll be back.

We had such a lovely dinner tonight! Nicole is a fabulous, knowledgeable bartender and server. The music was pleasant as well. We enjoyed the charcuterie board. We plan to come back again during this and future stays.

The food was amazing 👏🏾 and I can't say enough about the staff,especially our server Kamala. I definitely recommend everyone visiting Destin to stop in to this hidden gem.

Nicole was a fantastic waitress! Food was delicious. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Definitely will back. Here's an update on my last night review. We were too full to get dessert so we ordered a piece of lemoncello cake to go. This morning we were going to have it with tea. When I opened the box, I was surprised to see it was such a tiny piece! And I mean tiny! (See photo). If that wasn't bad enough, I looked at the bill and it was $14.00! I wouldn't mind paying that if it had been a nice size, or even just a normal size, but it was not. We will probably still go back because the food and service were both excellent but I won't be ordering dessert.

Michael is the best….⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!

Stuffed mushrooms were awesome! Plenty of food ! Michael was great very attentive , friendly and experienced! Ate here twice!

Dinner was amazing as usual. Best kept secret on Okaloosa island. Our waitress Nicole was attentive but not pushy and had great recommendations.

Thank you Nicole for your great service! Loved the live music as well

Thank you Nicole so much!!!! Such amazing service

Michael the bartender really makes the experience amazing. I stay at the hotel frequently for business and have always had unparalleled service, menu advice, and exquisite cocktail expertise. He takes the time to learn what repeat customers prefer and makes each person feel special. A lost art these days. Highly, highly recommend.
