  1. Great spot for lunch or a casual dinner. Fried calamari hero is fresh and simply gigantic. They have all the Italian American specialities. You can sit and have waitress service if you like. Its the kind of place that when you stand at the counter you just want to eat everything! Staff keeps it moving and they aren't messing around.  Definitely a fan.

  2. Combination pizzeria and Italian restaurant.
    The venue is small and a little cramped.  I believe there were 2 booths,  2 looooong wooden tables and two smaller wooden tables.

    Arrived here on a Sunday evening and it was almost packed.  Though, to be honest, it would not be that difficult to fill this place up!

    There were two servers but they seemed to be overly busy…

    The food was OK.  Still prefer Momma's Italian cooking  🙂

  3. You will have to wait but it's worth it!!! Home style delicious Italian food. The decor feels like you are at home with family. Good company along with good food calls for a great time.

  4. When I think about Italian food, real tradition Sunday dinner Italian food…I think of vinnys! I've been coming here for 17 years, always ordering the meat lasagna which is the best!

    Everything on the menu is delicious, the sauce is amazing, and so is the fresh Italian bread.

    There is usually a wait, because the place is small, but well worth it. You never feel rushed.

  5. Great Italian food on Smith St.

    Definitely a neighborhood place that serves good portions. The food is delicious and the prices are not too bad.

    I would come back here more often. I just get distracted by Zaytoons and other restaurants in NYC.

  6. This place is as legit as they come. Great food with very generous portions at a great price. I would have to say this is by far one of my favorite italian restaurants in Brooklyn (and that's coming from an italian born and raised in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn!).

    This is the only place I would order chicken parmesan that isn't made by my mother.

    One of my favorites things about this place is it allows you to get any type of pasta and sauce as your side, when many other places only offer you a side of bland vegetables or penne with marinara sauce, here you can get a side of penne vodka with your main dish which is a huge plus to me.

    Enjoy!

  7. Love this place so much I came in 2 days in a row for lunch!

    I am always looking for a good Italian restaurant that serves good and inexpensive Italian food.

    I hate when the only Italian food you can get is at a Pizzeria, it's very difficult to find an Italian restaurant that serves good food, but lucky me I have discovered Vinny's.

    I know that this restaurant has been around for many years, I just never got a chance to visit, better late then never!

    Vinny's has some really good food, the restaurant itself is not fancy, its a mix between a diner and a pizzeria.

    I ordered chicken Parm over spaghetti which was amazing, and if I weren't fat enough I ordered a side of Italian sausage and peppers.

    The staff is super friendly and you feel at home.

    Everything was so deelish that I came in the following day for a Chicken Parm sandwich to go!

    The only complain I have is that my chicken Cutlet was a bit cold on both occasion, but the sauce and cheese was hot which warmed the chicken cutlet a bit.

    I'll just make sure to let them know how I like next time (Hot).

  8. Great Neighborhood classic! Service was a bit slow when we went but it was ok since we weren't in a rush. Started off with a bowl of Tortellini con Brodo soup and it was delicious – reminded me of my Nonna's. We stopped in for lunch so didn't want to get anything too big so we got an eggplant Parmesan sandwich. The sauce was so great and the sandwich was loaded with thin fried eggplant. A really awesome Italian grinder! The owner Vinny is such a sweet man too. If we're ever back in the area we will definitely stop by.
