VIVA ITALIA
VA BENE
Now this post is about many things like being frugal, fabulous and eating good food. We've come to the right place for just that and I know you will love it. For grabbing a bite on the go for lunch, this place is perfect because they have such a great selection of everything you love. The location is really genius because it's uptown which is great for a walk but if you're far away it is totally worth the drive. Quite fancier than your average grocery store so it is quite the treat. Time to treat yourself people.
CHOW:
Medium Pasta with pesto, spanakopita, chocolate cake and lemon san pellegrino
LOW DOWN:
I can't help but go here religiously, I simply can't and I just won't. The food there is amazing and it raises the standards of local grocery stores for sure. The best part is that you don't have to have a sit down meal and feel bad about it because it was fast food. Another great thing about it is that it's keeping a nice family tradition going and that says a lot.
As soon as you walk in, you know you've come to the right place. I love the set up and how it's easy to find what you are looking for. Although I do love how it's organized I find it really crowded all the time, that's great for business but not when I am so hungry I'll eat all da german chocolate. All the staff are great but one thing I keep finding when I go is that some of the cashiers really messed up on bagging my things, like why are my my veggies underneath the milk :S
Health wise, I probably could have gone without the chocolate cake.. shoulda woulda coulda. For eating out and about, I loved what I ate and there's nothing to worry about health wise. So no problems in this department here.
Price wise, That was around $10 which is pretty decent considering all that I bought. What's great is that you can choose what size you want and it's all up to you #youhaveoptions. Of course there are other things that are quite expensive at Vincenzos when you're buying all your groceries but when you're simply picking up a bite it's affordable.
WHAT'S MA BEEF:
It's a really big high traffic area which I find a bit of a pain, when you want food.. you want food. There's also a lot of plastic and wrapping that goes into everything you order so it would be nice if they had less of that because it all makes up so much garbage.
RATE THE DATE:
4 FORKS
No body likes traffic, not even me but I dig the prices. You're still ok in my books.
DONE LIKE DINNER

Yum. I love Vincenzo's. A great local place to eat.
ReplyDeleteI cannot resist that desert counter... Heaven is beneath that glass case! But my favourite part is the sandwiches. I haven't had one since I became a vegetarian, so I wonder if there's a veggie option? Everything there is so good! (Except once I bought stuffed mushrooms thinking they looked good, but once I took a bite I almost puked) (Did I forget to mention that I bought them knowing I hate mushrooms?) (#I'mretarded) (Awesome blog post!)
