Vincenzo's Italian Bistro

Run don’t walk to Vincenzo’s and get the Octopus appetizer! It is simply amazing and I found myself savoring every single bite. If you like seafood you will love this app. My wife had the mussels and a martini both which were amazing as well but did you hear about the octopus appetizer??? If you go and sit in the lounge, ask the bartender Michael for his recommendations - he is a wealth of knowledge on all the food and all the drinks. A rate professional in his profession.

I had dinner on a Friday night, there was great live music entertainment in a clean and modern dining establishment that is inside the courtyard Marriott. I sat at the bar and enjoyed the service from Michael. He was the only one working and took care of every customer both at the bar and at the tables. Fantastic job making drinks, making recommendations, and engaging with the customers. The food quality was the main focus and it was incredible. The food was as good as anything I’ve had while in Italy. I had a weekly special grilled octopus dish that was perfect. Marsala with veal as my main that was loaded with plenty of sauce meat and mushrooms and carrot cake to top it all off. Not to mention a few different cocktails and wine, all perfect. I hope that Vincenzo’s does not leave the Fort Walton beach area anytime soon and continues to have success.

My fiancé and I came to Destin for vacation, this was by FAR the best place we ate. Absolutely exceptional! If you’re looking for something upscale and delicious this is the place! Our waiter was amazing and kind. The food was exquisite. Definitely recommend 10/10

Absolutely a hidden gem inside the Courtyard Marriott!!! We decided to go here tonight and the food was off the charts! My wife and I are in town for a few days and wanted to stay close to our room for dinner. We had the Pork Osso Bucco which was so tender it fell off the bone. The carmalized glaze paired with polenta and vegetables was amazing. We also had the Chicken Marsala which was easily the BEST I have ever had!!! What a wonderful place to eat and enjoy a romantic dinner with a great view of the ocean. Make sure you add this place to your travel or dinner/lunch plans!!! We have found a new favorite!!!

Kept hearing the radio ads and wanted to try it. We were pleased. Brady was the server. Nice and very attentive. The stuffed mushrooms were moist and delicious. The bread was very good as well. We had the chicken Parmigian and took about half home. Big portion.
