Absolutely the worst food and service in the Motherlode. You couldn't pay me to eat there. Zero stars should be an option.

Food was excellent! Viney made our food special the eggplant app was perfect with naan that melts in your mouth! My vongole pasta dish was the best I've ever had! The Sicilian salad was so good even my 14 year old was asking for seconds! She inhaled her tiramisu and honestly I couldn't have asked for a better anniversary dinner! Thank you Viney! Both children loved the meaty big piece wings. Viney is a gem! Must go back!

We LOVE that Vinnys has DELICIOUS Indian food now. That's a long overdue addition to the food available here in Sonora.

Service was great but owner left a cook who had been with the restaurant 6 days and there was 1 server to run the entire restaurant. They were completely overwhelmed. Food was horrible this time , not sure if we will b back or not. The last 2 times my wife and I visited Vineys the food was amazing, so I don't know what was all going on yesterday.

Absolutely ridiculous. Viney’s has been our go to here since we moved to Sonora several years ago.
Tonight I was blown away but the craptastic portion size - way too expensive for the TINY “calzone” that’s more like a stuffed breadstick.
And then I took a bite.
What on earth even is this? It’s rubbery and disgusting.
I threw it in the garbage. I’ll make something to eat myself.
What the heck has happened to you, Viney’s? This is *gross*. This “calzone” was basically a Hot Pocket that somebody let defrost and then stuck in the microwave without its sleeve - so not only was it garbage food, it wasn’t even properly cooked.
I don’t think I’ve ever been so mad at a restaurant.

I have tried Vineys a few times over the years but this was by far the worst experience I’ve ever had. The food is extremely overpriced for the amount you get. $14 for 4 over cooked mozzarella sticks. The “beef” raviolis are actually cheese raviolis with some meat sprinkled on top and swimming in grease. The Chicken Marsala had zero flavor, somehow even the chicken had no flavor. The lasagna was the only decent thing but it was also swimming in grease. Every attempt at taking a bite pushed the grease out of the bowl and all over the table. I got a soda refill and it had ants floating in it. We told the server about the ants and he came back a few minutes later with a new drink but when we told him the amount of grease was disgusting and he claimed “that’s what happens when you cook meat.” We stated we can’t eat a bowl of grease and his reply was “it is not disgusting, those are our best sellers and there’s nothing wrong with the food. Maybe there’s something wrong with your taste.”
I would avoid this place like COVID. Unless you want to pay for an overpriced trip to bathroom or ER. I know if I tried to eat that soupy mess that is exactly where I would have ended up. I will never go back and I will never recommend anyone to eat there. STAY AWAY.

I got the risotto the other day. It was cheesy garlicky goodness! Do you like Indian food they have some pretty good stuff too. And I found out that they serve breakfast again, all day - everyday!

Good, not great. We were one of only two tables in the entire restaurant and it still took OVER an hour for our meal to come out, with apps arriving at the same time. Had to ask for a table, had to ask for a menu, had to ask for the check. Our server was very kind but inexperienced which made the interactions awkward at times. Not really her fault, just part of the whole picture.
The place was clean and the dining room was open and airy. The decor was generic Italian wine and grapes, with a few real plants sprinkled amongst the plastic ones.
When our food finally came out it was hot and tasty for sure, but a bit pricey for what we received. Samosas had good flavor but weren't sealed well, and honestly could have used double the filling. Butter chicken was watery although it did have good flavor. Tikki Masala was rich and perfectly spicy. The chicken in these dishes was scant, but not overcooked or freezer burnt which was a plus. Our naan was a bit oily but not bad at all. Pizza was nothing to write home about, but the kids had no complaints. All this considering, I will be back to try more items on their menu. The flavors were reminiscent of warmth and home cooking, and the diverse choices at this restaurant deserve a second chance and a place in our small town.
I was surprised to find the restaurant completely empty during my visit. The waiter was also preparing food, and the salad was taken straight from packaging without being rinsed, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, it wasn’t quite the authentic Italian experience I was hoping for.

DON’T GO HERE! I ordered dinner through Vineys website. It showed it was on its way, 30 min later than stated, then just cancelled the order. No one at the restaurant would answer the phone or refunded my money. I have not been refunded.

Stopped at Viney's Italian Kitchen for lunch with extended family. Actually ordered the butter chicken off the Indian menu, but other family members tried risotto/shrimp and raviolis as well as a couple of salads. Everything was delicious. We ate on the patio area which was comfortable. This is a block off Washington so may not get as busy as some other restaurants on the main drag but is well worth a visit. Service was awesome!

Best place we ate our whole trip!!!! I had the gnocchi allá pesto with chicken and it was phenomenal. My wife ordered the shrimp risotto that I had a bite of too and I genuinely couldn’t decide which was better. We received big portions of food and they came with breadsticks. So so so good!!!!! Highly recommend <3

Me and my family of 5 were driving around Sonora as it was pouring down. We saw this place open and decided to give it a try, but as we walked in we realized no one else was there, although the atmosphere was very warm and family like. As we debated walking out, assuming it was not the best choice, we got seated and had to commit. First that was noticed was our waiter was quite kind, then we heard the music, it was BOMB like the music taste was chefs kiss. Then I ordered an Italian soda and lasagna which were also BOMB DOT COM!!!! Anyways I hope whoever reads this goes and enjoys it as much as my family and I did. Also hopefully you get no one else there either because it feels almost as if you were in your own dining room. LOVE THIS PLACEEE!!
