Vincents' Italian Restaurant in Huntington Village Shopping Center, Shelton, CT

Does anyone know anything about this place? A friend just told me about it. My parents like local italian joints and was wondering how the food is.

It's been about 10 years since I've been to Vincent's (Vinny's in the local vernacular). As I recall, they were standard, suburban, red sauce Italian, no more no less. Nothing I would go out of my way for.

I actually went to Vinny's for their pizza, as it was convenient to my house, and pretty decent.

Not to belittle any restaurant - and with no 1st hand knowledge - but anything in the Huntington section of Shelton should be suspect. The area is fairly pretentious & having eaten at a few joints there [maybe it was Vincents - if it was in the back of the strip mall where the IGA is] - nothing to write home about, but priced a little above its station.

Drive 10 minutes east into the Valley - lots of good, inexpensive [and expensive] Italian joints there. Just be careful - there are Albanian owned "Italian" restaurants, sort of like having Southern Fried Chicken made by someone from Ohio - nearby, but not the same culture.

I might also recommend Carmines on Rte 110 in Stratford. I have always enjoyed my meals there, though it's a bit small inside and can get noisy when crowded. The food is very good, the portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable.

Shelton may be the valley, BUT it is Fairfiled County (unlike Derby, Ansonia, Beacon Falls and Naugatuck) and is priced accordingly.

I believe you may be confusing Vincents with the Italian restaurant in the White Hills shopping Center with the Adams IGA. White Hills may be more pretentious than Huntington <VBG>

Vincents is ok, but not great
