The veal parmigiana at Vincenzo starts with milk-fed veal, which is the most tender and delicately flavored grade available. The cutlet is hand-breaded and pan-fried to a golden crust, then topped with slow-simmered house marinara made from San Marzano tomatoes, fresh basil, and garlic. Fresh mozzarella is melted under the broiler until it bubbles and stretches across the veal. The dish is served alongside handmade spaghetti, made from scratch every day in the Vincenzo kitchen. At $32, this is veal parmigiana prepared the way it was meant to be.
Other Veal Dishes at Vincenzo
Vincenzo does not limit veal to a single preparation. The veal chop is a thick-cut, bone-in chop that is seared and finished to your preferred temperature. It is a substantial dish that highlights the natural flavor and tenderness of quality veal without heavy sauces or breading. For guests who want something braised and slow-cooked, the Ossobuco is a braised veal shank that falls off the bone after hours of simmering in a rich broth with vegetables and wine. Osso buco is one of the most traditional Italian dishes on the menu, and Vincenzo prepares it with the patience it demands.
Wine Pairings with Veal Parm
Veal parmigiana pairs beautifully with a medium-bodied Italian red. A Chianti Classico brings the acidity to cut through the mozzarella and marinara while complementing the breaded veal. Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is another strong choice, offering a fruit-forward profile that works alongside the San Marzano tomato sauce. Vincenzo's curated Italian wine list includes multiple options selected specifically to pair with dishes like veal parm, and the staff can guide you to the right glass or bottle for your meal.
What to Pair with Veal Parm
Start with bruschetta or burrata before the veal parmigiana arrives. The creamy burrata with roasted tomatoes creates a contrast that sets up the richness of the veal parm. Many guests also order a side of handmade gnocchi or a Caesar salad to round out the table. For dessert, the house-made tiramisu is the classic Italian finish. A full meal at Vincenzo built around the veal parm is the kind of dinner you remember.
