Haven’t been to Vinny’s in sometime. It’s always held its own with similar restaurants in the area but I have to say every thing was top notch and I’ve rediscovered how great this restaurant is.

Pizza as an appetizer was excellent. Service was great. Lasagna good. Other food just ok. The artichoke appetizer too much vinegar. The chicken scallopini off on flavor almost tasted sour with the lemon and capers. Bolognese and ravoli pasta way undercooked. Maybe an off night for the chef?

Very disappointing! From less than fair service to having to send food back to a portion that was the size of a half dollar to 'racks of lamb' that took way too long to serve. Salmon (2) were excellent and mashed potatos (2) that were served with the lamb(s). I will probably not return.

We’ve passed Vinny’s many times since moving to the area 4 years ago and we decided to give it a try recently. The food was excellent and the service was great. We had 2 traditional entrees, chicken parm and lasagna with meat. Both were delicious! The only recommendation that we’d make is to change the music to some Italian music to help add to the feel of the great surroundings inside the restaurant.

We had dinner with friends previously at Vinny's and it was very good. This time the food was not as good. Three of us had the Halibut special. The piece of fish was smaller than expected and mine was over cooked. It was served over broccolini and some type of puree which was flavorful, but it was very thin like a sauce as opposed to a side. Two people ordered the fingerling potatoes as opposed to the puree it came with and that was a much better choice. It was a Friday night, and it was not very busy so that could be a result of the quality of the food not being as good as it was previously.

I love the relaxed feel of this place – like a comfortable dining room in a friend's home. I definitely would return to try more dishes. The Veal Meatballs are amazing and are always ordered to be shared with the table. The Shrimp and Scallop Orzo was excellent! Service is always great here. This is a perfect place for a business lunch or a date night!

Naturally, a Wednesday evening will be quieter. That was nice as we chose Vinny’s to celebrate my wife’s birthday. We started with PEI mussels. They were average, perhaps a bit fishy. Lobster pieces in my wife’s entree were not fresh. Pasta was also a strange consistency. We asked for a small dish of olive oil with our bread and was told it would be an additional charge, which is just silly. They did provide a no charge, lovely, light dessert with “Happy Birthday” written in chocolate on the plate. Our overall experience was not commensurate with the price and was a little disappointing on a special occasion.
