Restaurant info
This is the place where the bread shows up before you even order it, where portions come big enough to take home, and where nobody's rushing you out the door. Red sauce classics done the way they oughta be. Chicken parm that could start a fight over whose is better. Pasta that tastes like somebody's nonna is back there yelling at the line cooks to slow down. Vinnie's isn't trying to impress you with tweezer plating or a wine list longer than the menu. It's a neighborhood joint, and it wears that like a badge of honor. Good people, good food, and you'll leave a little fuller and a lot happier than when you walked in. Pull up a chair. There's always room for one more.
