Vinny's Ristorante

i wanted for find a family owned Italian place for supper. I found GOLD ! This place is great, small maybe 8-10 tables. Staff was very friendly. Food was some of the best Italian I've ever had. Bread was actually warm, drinks were large and strong. Food goes with saying, it was Great ... Best cannoli I've ever had ..... Hands Down .....I've eaten at several place in the North End, never again. If your looking for a good Italian food, drive on through the North End a couple of more miles to Viinny's. You won't be disappointed. Better Food, Better Service, Better Value. Vinny's is my go to place in Boston. I'll visit the place on every trip to Boston for here on.. Wish I could take it back to Alabama with me.

So good. I don't even love Italian food. So good. I can't see how this place is less than five stars. The homemade pasta is to die for. Even when I was full I couldn't stop eating it. As were the meatballs. Honestly, the bread was the highlight. If I just had bread and butter here it would have been five stars! Amazing amazing bread. And let's talk cannolis. People at my table who don't care for them couldn't say enough good things. These were the best I've had anywhere. As for the place itself, it's pretty small and very local. We had a coworker who grew up here and told us to come. The best recommendation I've gotten in a long time and one I won't forget for a long time.

What a gem. A surprisingly serious Italian restaurant in the back and downstairs area of a sub shop / deli. The hand made pasta was served al dente, and the sauces were flavorful and fresh tasting. Nice Italian wine choices, with multiple bottles under $30. Felt comfortable and welcoming as a family of 4 - kids enjoy this place, we saw multiple families. Portions are generous, we took about half of our food home. Service was nice despite apologizing for being understaffed that night.Felt lucky to randomly find this place!

One of our favorite places, conveniently located in my son's neighborhood. We started with Arancini always yummy. My son had Chicken Marsala with homemade pasta and raved how delicious it was. I had the Chicken Bracciola, which unfortunately was not great. The sauce and homemade pasta with the spinach and sun-dried tomatoes were amazing, but the chicken was very tough and the prosciutto was like leather. Probably just an off night for that dish. We've enjoyed many wonderful meals here and will definitely be back again.

There's few words that can describe the vibes here. The place serves rustic Italian-American comfort food with *fine dining level* saucework and cookery, in a setting so casual that it's literally a sub shop. Better than anything in the North End. Prices are reasonable, portioning is generous. I have some leftovers. We came in on a busy Saturday night, and although we didn't make a reservation - there was one table open. In the future, I recommend reservations. Service was friendly and attentive. Place is underrated and deserves to be recognized with the legendary neighborhood spots like Rino's in Eastie or Nappi's in Medford. I'm so looking forward to coming back here. Place is perfection.

I love this place. It feels so family centered and local even with all the hype they've been getting. Small spot in the back of an unassuming store front The food is always to die for. The lemon chicken is always my go to but I have branched out with the lasagna and the salmon pasta recently and both were also incredible. Service always makes you feel like you're part of the family.

This place is so great, such an unrated family spot in East Somerville right on the Charlestown line. Services (especially Maria!) is excellent and the portions are huge and they let you take wine to go if you don't finish. Head over to Casey's after for some keno, great Saturday night would do again 10/10

We had to stop here while in town. My husbands name is vinnie, so he got super excited when he saw this place. The bread the came to the table was amazing! Super warm, and I love when places serve you butter that's not ice cold, the butter was chilled but melted perfectly on the bread! We started with the pork sausage as our appetizer which we got for free thanks to checking with the yelp app. The sausage itself was delicious the greens around them not so much, they honestly had a sour taste to them. My husband had the lamb osso meal, the lamb was literally falling off the bone delicious. The risotto seemed very plain, like it was missing something. My swordfish was okay, it wasn't the best fish I've had in my life. It was definitely not cooked the same way the whole way through half of the swordfish was over cooked and dry and the other half was less cooked and very fish ( yes I know it's fish.) but a very good cooked swordfish literally will melt in your mouth. This did not. I got the pasta as my side, which I don't know if I over looked it. But they asked me what side I wanted, I didn't realize it would be an up-charge. However the best part of the meal and the reason why I'm giving 4 stars in the cannoli, literally the best one I've ever had in my entire life. Service was mediocre. Place looked nice and open. Everyone was friendly staff wise.3 stars for the food. 5 stars for the cannoli.

I want to give stars really bad but you have to earn them. Service was good but not great. Some food was loved, some food was mediocre.Small joint that gets a bonus for its hours and limited seating. It can be loud bc of neighbors lol. I was underwhelmed and would eat here again if no other options were available and convenient. The eggplant parm was good- zero complaints. Veal dish was apparently delicious bc it was devoured. Chicken parm- eh, hard to mess up but chicken was a bit undercooked and very thick...should have been pounded and flattened for even cooking and would have been more enjoyable.

5/5 top notch service. The ambiance, the food, the culture the vibe all top notch.Everytime we go the food is always on point.
