NEIGHBORHOOD ITALIAN
Vinnie’s features “Old School” Neighborhood Italian food reminiscent of Brooklyn, the Bronx, the North end of Boston.
The aromas of home cooked Italian food along with the rhythmic sounds of Martinis being shaken to chilling perfection sets the tone for a night of fun and laughter. The menu runs the gamut with classics like Chicken Parmesan, Sausage and Peppers, Veal Marsala and Linguini and Clams along with great Pizzas an Calzones. Family style dining is also available.
It is hard to put into words the feeling of being in one of those great, neighborhood Italian restaurants we have all grown up with. Imagine eating some of the best home-cooked Italian food and feeling like part of the family. The combination of the homemade cuisine and warm, friendly atmosphere means you could only be at Vinnie’s
