Hot / Sweet Cappocolli
Capicola - made from dry-cured whole pork shoulder or neck. The Italian word, "capocollo'" is of Tuscan origin. Gabagool This is an addition to the previous definition, which is half right. "Gabagool" is slang for "capicola." It is not a mispronunciation, but is instead in Napolitan dialect, which is what the Sopranos and many Italian-Americans use. The rule

Out first time me going to Vinny’s, it was delicious, the sauce is amazing as well as the rest of our dishes. Be prepared service is slow 45-60 minutes to get our meal. I think our waiter forgot about us maybe it was where we were sitting. we wanted another drink & went to the bartender to order because he never checked on us. We will go again, the food & value was worth it, but will be prepared or maybe sit within the bigger dinning area instead of the seat next to the door.

Went for Valentine’s dinner, server was extremely nice and seated us quickly even though we were early for our reservation and the place was packed Food was amazing, great quality for the price and staff was attentive and polite, even on probably the busiest dinner shift of the year. Would go back anytime

2 of my brothers do not drink alcohol and to have this restaurant run out of non alcohol beer after only 1 non alcohol beer apiece, was very sad. The food was delicious. Please have non alcohol beer in stock!

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.

The cups of soup are actually 'bowl' size and their bowl sizes are larger. The Lentil and Pasta Fagioli soups are very good. Our Veal Marsala and Eggplant Parmigiana dinners were very tasty and the portions were at least 2 meals worth. Our Spumoni Bomba was a nice dessert ending. Parking is limited so it's best to rideshare to Vinny's or look for a metered spot on Broadway. All in all, Vinny delivers quality and is a restaurant to visit.

I haven’t been there in a while. I was going to a show in Medford so I told my friends I was bringing them for a great dinner at Vinny’s. Me and my sisters chicken parm weren’t even hot I don’t complain because I wasn’t sending back. VERY DISAPPOINTED. My other two friends said there dinners were hot. I won’t return I was so disappointed
