    Food is consistently good here. It was Wednesday and therefore burger night - perfectly cooked as ordered and fries were hot and crispy. We also got delicious parsnip soup. Last week we tried the ziti with lamb bolognese - also excellent. Looking forward to having the duck board again this winter. Staff is friendly and efficient.

    As an Italian immigrant, I am always looking for good, real Italian food, and most times I leave a restaurant disappointed. But not last night. My wife and I met two friends at Vinotta last night and as always I walked in a bit skeptical, but within minutes I felt differently. We were greeted by the most gracious hostess, our server came right away, told us the specials, pronounced all dishes properly and made some recommendations. The food was OUTSTANDING! The flavors were incredible. I had the “Calamari so good” which was indeed so good..my wife had the shrimp Portofino, which was delicious…our friends had the grilled octopus and they raved about it. We then had lobster ravioli and the Bucatini alla Romana.. Everything was delicious… As we walked out my wife said to me “You have to take me here again for a romantic dinner just the two of us “… Can’t wait to go back. Grazie Dante e Fausto! A presto di sicuro. Roberto
