Vineyards Trattoria & Pizzeria

We’ve been to this place several times in the past and always enjoyed it, but our latest experience was honestly terrible. Our server was clearly underage and still served us wine which, to be clear, is illegal in Virginia if you're under 21. That alone was incredibly unprofessional and concerning.

He also seemed impatient from the start, like he didn’t really want to be there. We felt rushed while ordering, and any questions we had were met with short, uninterested answers. It just created an uncomfortable atmosphere. He brought out our food at uneven times, with the first plate coming out 10 min before the last at the table (we were a party of 5).

The food, which used to be one of the highlights here, was also a letdown this time. Dishes lacked the flavor and quality we were used to, and it felt like corners were being cut in both the kitchen and the front of house.

Honestly, this place used to be solid, but the lack of attention to staff training and food quality is starting to show. If they want to keep regulars coming back, they seriously need to hire better-trained, more professional servers and get back to putting care into their food.

Not sure the reason, but the normal 5 star food has declined a bit to 3 stars. What is going on??

Dinner started out with free amazing garlic nots. The food and service were great.

Great food

OMG!!! How are these reviews so high. Ordered the fried calamari...flavorless. The Margherita pizza...no words to describe how terrible it was and the ravioli which I have had better out of a can. I will stick to my normal place.

Sometimes a bit salty but if you ask them to out less sodium it comes out perfect for me

Held a large (30-person) family dinner in a semi private room. Food was good, service was pleasant and efficient

The food was not seasoned.

The service was amazing and the food was soooo GOOD!!!

The service was AMAZING and the service to!!!

Yum! Tried for the first time tonight and we were pleasantly surprised at the quality of food and the price. I had seafood cannelloni and my husband had the fruite de mari (spelling?) both were exceptional. Great service also

Great food and service. Very enjoyable

What is there not to like about this Italian restaurant?! Everything is A One! Even those of us who can't enjoy tomato based sauces for health reasons, can find a large variety and selections on the menú to choose from. They are generous with their portions so come with an appeite. You will not be disappointed!

Absolutely fantastic vodka sauce. The garlic knots are wonderful as well. This is a nice, quiet Italian restaurant tucked into a quiet neighborhood. I recommend getting a side of marinara to go with the garlic knots - it's definitely worth it! Everything here was great, including the service.

I ordered take out there twice and each time the food was amazing and the wait staff took great care of me. Best Italian restaurant in Newports
