5 /5 Scott Best: Vince’s Restaurant in Federal Way has been one of my local favorites for over 30 years, and I am honestly surprised it took me this long to finally write a review. We visited on a weeknight evening with our teen grandkids and were seated quickly, with drinks brought out right away.
Some places are just that consistently good. You take them for granted until you realize how special they really are.
The restaurant has a classic old school neighborhood Italian vibe, complete with red and white checkered tablecloths that instantly make you feel at home. It was comfortable, relaxed, and exactly the kind of place where you can settle in and enjoy your time together.
We ordered the Vince’s Special pizza with pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, and olives. I have been ordering this pizza for years and it never disappoints. It was perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and exactly how a great Italian pizza should be.
My wife ordered the Penne All’Arrabbiata, a pasta dish in a spicy marinara sauce. It was absolutely fabulous, with rich flavor and just the right amount of heat.
The grandkids were more than happy with their choices. They ordered spaghetti with marinara sauce and the Carne pizza, loaded with pepperoni, salami, sausage, and ham. While we waited, we were served warm French bread with butter, which was a simple but very appreciated touch.
Portions were generous, everything came out hot and fresh, and the quality was outstanding across the table.
Our server was friendly and attentive and made sure we were well taken care of throughout the evening.
Vince’s Restaurant in Federal Way continues to deliver great pizza, classic Italian comfort food, and a welcoming atmosphere that keeps us coming back year after year. We would absolutely return and highly recommend it for family dinners, casual nights out, and anyone looking for a true neighborhood Italian favorite.
