    We sat at the bar and it was a little loud and I felt a bit cramped from the people Standing around us. The bartender was attentive and very friendly. Didn’t love the l buffalo mozzarella appetizer we ordered, but our entrées were absolutely spectacular. The cocktails were delicious too. Would definitely recommend this restaurant and plan to visit again.

    Thanks for the fantastic review! It was a pleasure serving you, and we’re excited to welcome you again!

    I had not dined at this restaurant for a couple of years, and since my family does not particularly enjoy driving/meeting at a Boston restaurant (from the South Shore), on a Sunday "Holiday," I suggested we make reservations, at Vinotta's, for Mother's Day. This restaurant is located on a main street, and it did take us a while to find parking... there are a couple of open, pay-to-park lots that we did find after driving around for a bit. The decor, at Vinotta's, is very charming, and pretty, as I remembered. When we were seated at our table, we all sank into our seats, which felt awkwardly low for our table. The service/wait staff were courteous and attentive, and our meals were all very good. Our cocktails were delicious, and beautifully garnished. We shared an order of bruschetta and the octopus appetizer, and each ordered a salad, which were all were very tasty. The main meals, were very good, although, somewhat small portions, and included the sea bass, salmon, and bolognese. Only one of us ordered dessert, as I cannot resist a cannoli. I must comment on the portions served, especially what looked like a half-portion of bolognese, could/should have been more generous, as two thirds of us left (at 6PM), feeling hungry. I was also surprised that there were no "specials" (i.e. a "Mother's Day" cocktail, or dessert), offered on their menu, as it was Mother's Day. Overall, our meals were "good," however, we most likely would not return.
    Vinotta RestaurantResponded on May 14, 2025
    Thank you for spending Mother’s Day with us and for sharing your feedback. We're happy to hear that you enjoyed the warm ambiance, courteous service, and that your appetizers, salads, and cocktails were all well received. We understand that parking in Waltham can be tricky—while we do share nearby options on our website to help guests plan ahead, we know it can still take a bit of time, especially on busy holidays. As for specials, while we didn’t feature a printed Mother’s Day cocktail or dessert, our bartenders are always happy to create something festive or personalized on request. We encourage guests to ask, as we love customizing the experience when we can. We’re always listening and learning from thoughtful feedback, and we hope you might consider dining with us again in the future.

    Was fine everything was fresh and nice menu just the food was all “fine” nothing special. There was no dish that we were wowed by. Everything was good just not great. But it’s a cute spot worth a try just not sure I’d go back. Sort of middle of the road.
    Vinotta RestaurantResponded on May 3, 2025
    We’re all about keeping traditions alive — sometimes, the old way really is the best way. Our dishes are crafted with respect for classic recipes, bringing fresh ingredients into the mix but never compromising on authenticity. It’s tough to hear that we didn’t wow you, as we pour heart and intention into every plate. We’re not here to chase trends, but to serve honest, well-executed food. We hope you’ll reconsider and see the value in the care and tradition we put into every dish, and maybe give us another shot to impress you next time.

    Excellent food and service in a quaint restaurant setting. The fish was delicious with thick halibut choice served piping hot but not over cooked. Salads were fresh and tasty with light dressing. Server was well versed in the menu items and very attentive without being overbearing.
