You better get a** down here. After so many years Vinny's is closing next week. I'm very, very upset. I love this place.

Service was fast and friendly. Location was pleasant and quiet. The food was delicious! The bread, pesto, crab cake, salad, and lobster meal was fantastic. Excited to go again made a reservation for 8!!

We wanted to go to a local restaurant away from the casino hotel and we were so very happy to have picked Vinnie's The food was superb and large portions so we brought back leftovers. We had Veal parmesan and stuffed Flounder and the Clam Chowder was the best we've had with nice chunks of clams and great flavor. Our waiter Matt was the absolute best. We will definitely return to Vinnies on our next trip here in October.

Felt like I was walking into the set of the sopranos or The Godfather and I loved it! This is definitely a hidden gem. Came here for a late lunch at exactly 3 when they open and although one of the servers said to give them a few to serve us, it didn't take long. Our waiter was amazing! We order lentil soup, calamari and the eggplant parmigiana to start. Wow wow wow, I'm not a fan of eggplant too much but this one was so cheesy and soft, delish! The calamari were perfect, fresh, not oily. Definitely one of the best calamari I've ever had. For our main dish I ordered the lobster franchise, it came with these homemade potatoes that had a perfect crunch. My hubby had the lobster ravioli with shrimp (he added the shrimp to the order) and it was also very good. And we couldn't leave without having some dessert, so we ordered a cannoli and tiramisu. I preferred the tiramisu. Definitely coming back for dinner next time, it's such a cute spot and the service was outstanding. Lately service hasn't been the greatest in some places due to short staff or just workers being overwhelmed, but I'm happy to see that great service still exist!

Excellent Quaint ambiance. Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin music. Really like this place.

I was there for my birthday and I am so disappointed in the service I received. My waitress was not friendly. She didn't offer us water. I try to have conversation with her. She brushed me off. Didn't ask if we needed anything, dropped off our plates and left. When we ask for the bill she dropped it and walked off. When other patrons came in, seemed as they were regulars she gave them hugs, and ask how they were doing. I am highly disappointed because I could have gone down the street to Dania Pointe but I decided to try them because I heard of their specials were great. But you know what, service is better than any lobster special. I really am trying hard not to come to conclusions as of why my friend and I was treated this way, but it's so hard to deny. Because we didn't look like the other patrons!!

Wonderful all around! Thanks to Matt, Jimmy & Melissa for making us feel so welcomed. Like family, truly. Great sea food, lots of options and most importantly, GREAT people!! This was my first time at Vinnies but it certainly will not be my last.#supportlocal #eatlocal

A hidden gem this place is divy and I love it. We found vinnies during the pandemic they were closed but we decided to come back one night after shopping in nearby target. Well we were in for a huge surprise. The menu is huge and made especially for pasta lovers like myself. The bar has the best bartender I even learned his schedule so I would make myself a regular. OYSTER ROCKERFELLER DONE RIGHT they understood the assignment here at vinnies. I would literally drive from anywhere in south Florida to get to this place

1st time for us and we were really happy with the food, the service, and the coziness of the place. The food was really good and waitress was on top of everything Cool local place. Highly recommend

My family and I called this restaurant in advance about 30 mins before they closed and we were told that we could come in and when we got there they didn't let us in and the restaurant wasn't officially closed yet and the waiter was very rude.

I've been here a few times and the food is always very tasty. This particular time was for a birthday party. They changed our seating arrangements to lower top table and those of us in the aisle were constantly getting bumped into the entire night. The waitress was not friendly at the beginning I was cleaning up empty appetizer plates in front of us and waited 20 minutes for more drinks to come to the table. The food was okay but did not come out in a very good flow. One person had eaten his whole dinner salad before everyone else was served. The live music was great! The waitress mentioned the cake prior to the birthday person knew of the cake surprise was ruined. I tried to take a picture of cake before she was pulling the cake away, as if rushing us. At the end the waitress tried to make up for it after the long night of her lack of presence and unfriendliness. Needless to say for the prices that this restaurant has the service was horrible and a few of the meals were cold. Wouldn't recommend a bigger party there

I wanted to check out this place for a long time. We walked in without a reservation, but got a table immediately considering it was past 8. Servers were very friendly. The place and the bar seems full of locals. For a minute I thought we were in an old Italian bar in NYC. Food was nicely presented and delicious. Will come back!
