    Our server was delightful. The restaurant is beautiful. Nice vibe. It was a slower Tuesday so the noice level seems high for not that many people. The food presentation was lovely and the portions were definitely shareable. Just not as flavorful as I had anticipated. We were a party of four and everyone thought there could have been a bit more flavor in our meals.

    Great restaurant with very helpful staff! The food is excellent and there are lots of great unique drink options (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) to pair with dinner. The interior is very cute and is right on Newbury. It was perfect for a girls dinner together or a date night.

    Our three meals were delicious as usual. Our server was very pleasant and efficient. They ran out of gluten-free pasta (bummer) but made up for it by giving the individual some tasty arancini. Vinny's prepares consistently delicious food. We really enjoy going there, Good drinks, too.
