    Vinny’s staff are accommodating and polite. I did not care for the entree I ordered. It was linguine with squid ink. I have had this dish at other restaurants and loved it. The pasta was the consistency of mud. Quite awful. They have a DJ there on Friday and Saturday evenings. Why???? So loud that we had a difficult time with conversation. When I think of a DJ, I think of dancing not eating.

    Sat at a high top table in the bar. Very energetic atmosphere. Lively, festive. Disco music all night. Loved it. We go there for the drinks, apps and of course the bread and oil combo. So good. Vinny’s oysters are always a 10/10.

    So last night was a very first time that my better half and I had the pleasure of dining at Vinny’s… Everything was absolutely amazing… Just a wonderful old school vibe, great service, and the food was phenomenal the baked clams, the bread, the oil, the wine. Everything was on par with all that was recommended to me. We will definitely be back and I would recommend Vinny to anyone. Holly was our server, and she was exceptional
