   Vinny’s staff are accommodating and polite. I did not care for the entree I ordered. It was linguine with squid ink. I have had this dish at other restaurants and loved it. The pasta was the consistency of mud. Quite awful. They have a DJ there on Friday and Saturday evenings. Why???? So loud that we had a difficult time with conversation. When I think of a DJ, I think of dancing not eating.

   So last night was a very first time that my better half and I had the pleasure of dining at Vinny’s… Everything was absolutely amazing… Just a wonderful old school vibe, great service, and the food was phenomenal the baked clams, the bread, the oil, the wine. Everything was on par with all that was recommended to me. We will definitely be back and I would recommend Vinny to anyone. Holly was our server, and she was exceptional

   Wonderful first experience at Vinny's. The oysters were perfectly briny and the homemade vinegars were impeccable - I could eat the habanero vinegar all day! The fettuccine with clams in white sauce had so many clams - so unexpected and so delightful. The meatball with the spaghetti was fantastic. Our service was top-notch and that is why we will be back. Absolutely loved our server!!!!

   The music was so loud we could barely hear each other. The hostess turned it down for us, which was nice. The food, service and restaurant ambiance was exceptional.

    Everything was wonderful from the moment we arrived! Friendly staff all around, the valet, hostesses, and servers. We had a reservation and were seated promptly. Our server Joe was attentive but did not rush us, and it was a busy Saturday evening. Cocktails, entrees, and dessert all fabulous! Fun 70s music provided a lively vibe. Can’t wait to return!
