The food was good and service wonderful. Unfortunately we wanted a quiet table for two, and were scrunched between two other larger parties and could not really even hear each other talk. The table was long, and we were pretty far apart from each other, so we were pretty disappointed. Not much room to even put down my purse on the table or hang my coat and scarf on the back of my chair. Servers kept knocking it off. Table for two should not just be squeezed in between other tables. They should be in with other small tables to have a more intimate setting for smaller parties. We were very uncomfortable. It felt like we were just put at a table for extra $$ seating. Vinny’s, you can do better than this.

Superb food, superb service Sharon was excellent. She went above and beyond to see that we were pleased with all. She allowed us plenty of time to delight in our dining without bothering us too much for our orders. Really appreciated her in every way! The food was divine and we plan to return in a few weeks with friends. This is our new favorite for Italian!

I typically am not too harsh on restaurants but overall, this was a pretty negative experience. The mushroom pasta sauce tasted watery and the chicken parm was average at best. Our server greeted us and when we asked how he was, he said “well it’s almost the end of the night, so I can’t wait to get off.”. This was at 8:30. Not that welcoming of a comment. We had to ask three times for an additional napkin and twice for butter. We opted to go somewhere else for dessert. Will not be returning.

This was our first time at Vinnys so naturally I had a few questions about the food and what not. Well I asked our server if I could switch out one of the sides in my meal she told me no but you can add a side ok that's fine no big deal. I didn't see a place on menu where the sides were listed so I asked our server she said huffy you can see them under all the other dishes just look ok rude. I asked about salads again huffy the salads are here can't you see. I said just forget it and just got my regular meal. She was all around rude so naturally it put a damper on the whole night we ate as fast as we could and left.
