Vincitore Italian - Agoura Hills

Vincitore was a restaurant that my fiancee saw on a Facebook Mom Group page and thought we would like it. We decided to try them out since it was highly recommend by the group members. Upon arriving, we loved the small, yet elegant feeling the restaurant gave off. Although it was empty, we enjoyed the decor and the atmosphere right away. Our waiters were nice, but I felt wanting more from the customer service. It just felt flat. Don't get me wring, they all were nice, but the waiters were lacking smile and charisma... something I'd expect from the restaurant's decor style. Nevertheless, we placed our order. We started out with the calamari like most of our restaurant visits) and it was okay. The squid was tought at times and inconsistent, but iverall okay. For our entree's, my wife ordered the linguini pescatore and I ordered the cioppino. I decided to add linguini to mine since I like the pasta with it. Both dishes were great. We very much enjoyed them. I felt my dish was a bit overpriced. I say this because although, both dishes were different, they almost were very much the same dish. The flavor was different, but no so different to cost me about 6 dollars more for my added linguini. We do have to admit, their table bread is delicious. Much better than most places we have visited. We then decided to come back a week later with the family this time..I ordered the pescatore again and it was delicious once again. That can't be said for the other dishes. My fiancee ordered a mushroom pasta that was missing flavor and her mom's carbonara was not what we expected. At the end we oredered the Cannoli for dessert and for being our first ever cannoli it was not what we hoped for. The cream filling was just ok, but the shell was not edible. It was hard as a rock. We expected this light crunchy shell and we got a hard thick pastry. It just wasn't what we wanted. That said, we still enjoy this place for their good atmosphere and options. It might not be our go to place for italian food, but it's certainly a nice place to sit down and enjoy your dinner with good company. We've only been here twice and one day it was great, but the other was just okay. I'd give it about a 3.5 overall rating, but I like to give them the benefit of potentially being much better on our next visit so I'm going to give it a 4/5 stars for me.

An underrated gem! Hidden waiting to be found! If you are looking for great food, delicious bread, and kind service this is the place! One of the best meals we had in all of California! Please go here! Please enjoy!

We wanted a great tasting authentic Italian cuisine and found this little hidden gem. The staff gave us an excellent friendly service while their food was not disappointed. Appetizers and ducks were tasteful and in many portions. A recommendation will get a double order of homemade bed as it is delicious and accompanied with tapenade. It was all so delicious and wonderful that I will definitely make a stop here next visit.

We love this place!!! The spicy meat classic pizza is absolutely fantastic!! This is our only pizza place now. Beautiful service, definitely a jewel! Very recommended.

Great food and atmosphere. Ambient warm restaurant with classic Italian dishes reminiscent original food in Italy. Big portions at very affordable price.
