Worst food ever
by janelmarie72 at Citysearch
We walked in well after dinner, service was awful right from the start. The waiter poured my boyfriends beer and foamed it all over the table. When the food came the pasta on both our plates was way overcooked, it was a plate of mush. I had fettuccine alfredo, I have had more flavor from a store bought jar of sauce, it was awful. My boyfriend ordered tortellini with garlic cream sauce which I swear had no garlic at all. To top it off, we got sick from what little we did eat!

Worst Restaurant Experience Ever!
by Nikkita719 at Citysearch
Every year we go to the Vescio's booth at the state fair for their Italian style garlic bread, it's to die for. Finally we made it to the restaurant to try their food & service. Our waiter was nice, when he was with us but we had to flag him down everytime we wanted something. I ordered tortellini with meat sauce, I've never seen meatless meat sauce unless it came out of a jar. My husband ordered baked rigatoni but didn't anticipate the long dark hair entwined in his pasta! We have never been so disgusted!
- Pros: Italian Style Garlic Bread
- Cons: Bad Service

really not worth it
by andy1984 at Citysearch
for the price, not worth it. you could get a better meal at olive garden and it would have be less or about the same price. the sauce is so plain with no flavor, it was like it came from a can. the marsala was gummy. I've had better at fazzoli's.

Surprisingly Fabulous Food and Service
by CurlieElle at Citysearch
My expectations for Vescio's Cucina weren't incredibly high (what with the neon sign and slightly antiquated exterior) but my date and I went because of the half price wine. The Pinot Noir we picked was phenomenal and that was just the beginning of a wonderful evening. Warm bread with whipped butter that comes without asking (and is refilled - NO ONE does that anymore!!) and a charming waiter who seemed genuinely interested in meeting our needs (we chatted about baseball). I had pesto gnocchi and it was to DIE for. My date's prosciutto and chicken pasta had the best tasting noodles I can remember trying - they just melted and yet somehow weren't overcooked (I didn't try the meat but apparently it was great). We were so delighted that we told the hostess to give our compliments to the chef, and the chef came out to greet us personally. He was lovely, and when he heard that I was a vegetarian he went back in to personally get me a large take-home serving of his homemade meatless red sauce (we had already paid and tipped so he was not trying to secure more money, which is particularly refreshing).
We were pleasantly surprised by both the food and the service at this place and whole-heartedly recommend it to anyone looking for some authentic tasting Italian food and great wine in the area.
- Pros: Service, Wine, Food
