   The food was excellent. However, the ambiance was a bit loud. It was challenging to have a conversation at our table.

   You can’t go wrong with an evening at Vinny’s. It doesn’t matter what you order you will be pleasantly surprised and never leave hungry. The ambience and waitstaff is always stellar and the drinks and food highly creative and delicious. I drive over an hour each time I visit so it’s definitely worth it!!

   We visited on our wedding anniversary. Meghan and Morgan were the best. The rest of the staff was very attentive, also. The food was excellent.

   Really good food. Way too loud. Would have preferred oldies like Frank Sinatra instead of the DJ blasting disco and R & B from the 70’s and 80’s. And the waiter was really pushing the truffle oil.

   As always!!! We had a great night at Vinny’s! The food is excellent, everything is so fresh. I love the meatball salad! We also had some clam chowda and fire grilled shrimp. Excellent! The cocktails are amazing, try the Lemon Creek Park! And our server was an absolute doll! Vinny’s has become our go-to restaurant! They never disappoint!

   The radio is so loud that you can’t have a conversation with your own table and the waiter could not hear us. We asked for butter twice but got water instead because they can’t hear us. We got penne with the vodka sauce but the sauce did not taste like it used to.

   This is probably my fifth time here. I have never been disappointed. Becky our server was excellent. She was great at suggesting which items to try. And was spot on with her choices. I only put ambiance as loud, because we arrived at 7:30 on a Friday. They had a DJ playing music. Which was fun, but not conducive for conversation. I have been here before usually before 7. And on weekdays or weekends. But over all a great experience
