Vic's

Delicious Italian food in a really warm inviting setting. The only complaint is in regard to the dessert menu. The options are very limited and the the brioche filled with whipped cream and dark chocolate was just downright … bad. It tasted like a stale dinner roll stuffed with mediocre whipped cream. Neither of us enjoyed it and thankfully our waitress removed it from the bill. An unfortunate ending to an otherwise delicious meal. I highly recommend the chicken Milanese entree!

the service staff was attentive and friendly without being pushy. we did not have a reservation and were treated with care and respect by the hosts. the music was a mix of 80’s hits and many people in the dining room were singing along quietly to themselves, which we loved. the entire service team was cohesive and integrated - from front of the house to back. the food was unpretentious and the menu accessible, and it also came out piping hot and tasted fantastic. my partner and i shared a Sausage and Pepper Pizza and the Chicken Milanese. the pizza crust was fresh and baked to perfection - just thin enough to be light and airy without tasting like matzoh. the sausage was delicious and the peppers were surprisingly tender and sweet. the chicken cutlet portion was huge, the sauce bright and flavorful, the panko breading crunchy - all was perfect. thank you for an impactful first experience (we have of course visited both Rosie’s and Cook Shop many times but never had the opportunity to try Vic’s). we will be back!

My now husband and I hosted an intimate surprise wedding reception at Vic’s and were once again reminded why this is one of the best restaurants in NYC! Small back story- We came here 10 years ago on a first date when the restaurant was called 5 Points. It was awesome then but has continued to wow us as Vic’s. Consistent, quality dishes, plenty of options for all and easy-going friendly service! A no-brainer when the time came to pick a reception location to celebrate with friends. To the management and entire staff working the night of Monday September 11, 2023: you were all so fun and cute!! You made us feel super special and we are forever grateful!! Thank you thank you! See you soon or next September at the very least!

The crispy sweet onion was a fancy onion ring with cheese dip BUT nonetheless it was a delicious fancy fried onion dish, and the chip shape of the onions made it easy to transport the fonduta (the real star) into my mouth. Radiatori: It was smothered in red tomato sauce and had pieces of buffalo mozzarella, a few leaves of basil, and some eggplant in it. I was sold on the eggplant and mozzarella part and yet there was so little of especially the eggplant in there. It was salty, but not inedibly so. I prefer slightly over salted to under salted anyway.
