"Excellent, as usual. But a little too crowded for us around the bar (by the window). We always eat at the bar to visit with Clyde."

"Outstanding location for Steppenwolf goers. Alehandro (sp?) our server was absolutely outstanding. His wine knowledge was impeccable, his service attentive but not hovering. We will be asking for him next time we go."

"Excellent choice for pre- or post-theater dining. Food is very good, drinks were outstanding (we had martinis's). Staff was attentive to our concerns around being done by curtain time. And the valet parking will keep you car not only for the meal but also for the show at the same price!"

"Our group of 7 went to Vinci's for dinner on a Friday night before the theater. The staff could not have been more accommodating to us. They seated us in a quiet room. The service was wonderful and the food was excellent. The Roman baked gnocchi appetizer is delicious and the pistachio crusted salmon was outstanding. Every person in our group loved Vinci's. We will be back!"

"Four of us dined at Vinci before a show at the Royal George Theater down the block. Vinci's location is perfect if you are going to the theater. Warm and inviting room and ambiance. Menu has good range of choices. My calamari with mushrooms and orzo was tasty but calamari was rubbery. My husband's cioppino was bland and the pasta was overcooked. Service was good."

"Excellent experience, as always. It's our favorite place to dine before going to the Royal George or Steppenwolf, though we have gone there many times when we have been in the neighborhood. Really friendly,attractive and cordial."
