Vinny's on Windward

Very disappointed, food portions were smaller than the last time I visited in Feb. A $2.00 charge for oil to be used with the bread was ridiculous. The best thing was the service. Not sure if I will return.

It was Easter menu so choices were limited to their special menu. Good food, have always loved the vibe inside....very Italian.

The food was awful. Too greasy. That was probably the worst meal I ever had. It used to be a decent place but not any more.

Always a great experience at Vinny's. Charcuterie, pear arugula salad, Wagyu bolognese and Branzino. All excellent. Terrific service. Highly recommended.

We have dined at Vinny's a number of times and it never disappoints. The food is delicious and each plate is beautifully presented. You can tell that they put their heart into making each meal they serve spectacular. Our server, Cory, was funny and very attentive. He anticipated all of our needs. Some members of our party arrived later. We mentioned to Cory that we would wait for everyone to arrive before ordering the bread service. A few minutes after they sat down, the bread arrived. Thanks for a lovely evening. Definitely recommend Vinny's for a date night or a group celebration!

Food is good but this is an Italian restaurant that does not meet the Italian standards. No bread unless you buy it. Every single Italian restaurant starts with bread. An Italian will never not have bread on the table. That is so standard that they would never think of charging for it. The food is good but definitely not an Italian portion. Everyone left thinking the food is good but definitely not enough. They used to give bigger portions. Now the chicken is maybe a little bigger than a tender. I think they are trying to keep their prices low by cutting down on portions. Think again because you should never leave an Italian place still hungry. Even the women left hungry and we had apps dinner and desert and then stopped at Collettas to eat after. These are basic things that are found in an Italian restaurant. Charge a little more and make bread standard and 2 pieces of chicken or 1 large pounded is standard. Nobody should ever leave an Italian place hungry. That does not fit the culture. We are Italian and nobody would ever leave our house hungry.

Dinner at Vinnie's is outstanding. The menu is interesting and each dish ordered by the 4 of us excellently prepared. Service with Luiz was superb. Love dining at Vinnie's!

Great place for our business lunch. Food came out very quickly so everyone was able to make it to their next, post-lunch meetings.

Excellent "date night" venue with the elegant cuisine to match. We will be back, thx.

One would think that bread would come with a meal at an Italian restaurant at this price point. I guess it’s their prerogative to charge for bread. But to also charge for olive oil? Your food is just average in our opinion and we would expect to at least get olive oil without another charge when we pay over $100 for just average food for me and my wife. There are many more restaurant options that offer better food at this price point. It’s just the principle of this that strikes a nerve. Not sure what management is thinking. Very disappointing. Two stars is generous. Will not be back!

I have worked in italian restaurants all my life, tried dozens of recipes and i can say with confidence that the lobster pasta here is the absolute best pasta I have ever had. Yes its pricy but very worth it.

Unfortunately, service is not what it used to be. The appetizer arrived before drinks and bottled water. They forgot my salad and special was different than described wagu steak and very chewy. This is always our go-to restaurant, however, we won't be back anytime soon.

I had the Halibut special. My wife had a Veal Milanese. We were both disappointed in the way each dish tasted. My fish was gamey and undercooked. The meal was WAY over-priced. I get that we're dealing with inflation, but it just seemed like you are taking advantage of people. I also noted that there was hardly anyone in the restaurant - telling me that others are experiencing the same poor quality. We were having dinner with friends and did not want to make scene, otherwise I would have complained. We've dined at Vinny's many times, and it's always been good. Not this time.

Service was extremely slow. None of our drinks were ever refilled, it took over 40 minutes for the food to arrive and it was cold. The server never came back to check on us. I had to ask for a to go box 3 times. We won't be back.
