"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

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

The food was excellent. Our servicer Andrew was fabulous. It's a small neighborhood Italian restaurant. Unfortunately, the night we were there, a large, loud group of people were there, which made it every hard to have a conversation without yelling to each other. Generous portions of very good food.

This was our first time to Vinny's. The food was delicious and the portion sizes were large. I had the chicken marsala with ziti and really enoyed it. Others in our party had the gnocchis, chicken stir fry, and chicken pancetta. Two additional points about the restaurant. First, we were running late and they were gracious in moving our reservation back. Second, when the waiter misheard an order, he did not complain but had it replaced immediately. Overall, I also enjoyed its casual, friendly vibe.
