Hot / Sweet Cappocolli
Capicola - made from dry-cured whole pork shoulder or neck. The Italian word, "capocollo'" is of Tuscan origin. Gabagool This is an addition to the previous definition, which is half right. "Gabagool" is slang for "capicola." It is not a mispronunciation, but is instead in Napolitan dialect, which is what the Sopranos and many Italian-Americans use. The rule

2 of my brothers do not drink alcohol and to have this restaurant run out of non alcohol beer after only 1 non alcohol beer apiece, was very sad. The food was delicious. Please have non alcohol beer in stock!

Our three meals were delicious as usual. Our server was very pleasant and efficient. They ran out of gluten-free pasta (bummer) but made up for it by giving the individual some tasty arancini. Vinny's prepares consistently delicious food. We really enjoy going there, Good drinks, too.

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.

I haven’t been there in a while. I was going to a show in Medford so I told my friends I was bringing them for a great dinner at Vinny’s. Me and my sisters chicken parm weren’t even hot I don’t complain because I wasn’t sending back. VERY DISAPPOINTED. My other two friends said there dinners were hot. I won’t return I was so disappointed

The food was excellent. Our servicer Andrew was fabulous. It's a small neighborhood Italian restaurant. Unfortunately, the night we were there, a large, loud group of people were there, which made it every hard to have a conversation without yelling to each other. Generous portions of very good food.
