    We went for lunch. I had my heart set on the Arancini but it wasn't on the lunch menu. I asked and the server was most accomodating and I had my Arancini. Delicious! With a Daniellas's salad (1/2 portion which the server offered) - a perfect lunch. My companion ordered a caesar salad with grilled chicken. Enough for another 2 meals.

    The cups of soup are actually 'bowl' size and their bowl sizes are larger. The Lentil and Pasta Fagioli soups are very good. Our Veal Marsala and Eggplant Parmigiana dinners were very tasty and the portions were at least 2 meals worth. Our Spumoni Bomba was a nice dessert ending. Parking is limited so it's best to rideshare to Vinny's or look for a metered spot on Broadway. All in all, Vinny delivers quality and is a restaurant to visit.

    The waitress was friendly, helpful and attentive. My husband got the house special with vela, pork, sausage, chicken, artichokes, mushrooms and pepperoni in a white wine sauce and he loved it. I had the veal specials with prosciutto, mozzarella and mushrooms in a sweet Marsala sauce. It was very good- a bit sweet for me though. Stuffed artichoke was OK- boiled before baking. Wine list was very reasonably priced. Will go back and try the mussels and the lemon chicken. Nice place to go that is not part of a large restaurant group.

    The food was fabulous! Their famous Squid ink pasta and fruitti di mare were both outstanding. Wonderful Italian wines by the glass, too. We opted to sit at the bar in lieu of our reservation for a table and are happy we did. Service was great and the bartender recommended her favorites for both the food and beverages menus. We will definitely return when we go back to Boston!
