Reviews for Vinnie's Neighborhood Italian in Asheville, NC
$6 martinis on Friday nights are the best mixed drink deal you're going to find that isn't mass made ahead. They make them all... to order, I like the lemon drop. Last I checked they do not take reservations, so usually there is a wait. They do have a nicewaiting area set up though and I would recommend you get a drink while you wait. Been here a few times now, love this place. Ithas a great atmosphere and the food is amazing. We had the arancini appetizer, absolutely amazing. It's basically risotto ballsstuffed with cheese and deep fried. Cesar salads with anchovies followed by the linguini and scallops for me and the twice bakedlasagna for my boyfriend. Read more
WOOHOO!!!!! Great place! DO NOT drive by here! Your taste buds and stomach WILL regret it! Have lived here all of my life and... had never been. Should have way sooner. Hubby took me for an early birthday supper. OMGosh-FABULOUS....AWESOME.....AMAZING!!!!.Friends had recommended Vinnie's and it was everything they said it was and more. The vibe of community and friends was allaround. It was old school New York according to my friend who is a Carolina transplant via Queens. Seriously Colby wasgreat-loved his attentiveness and knowledge of the menu and the items on it. Appreciate everyone and YES they sang HappyBirthday to me!!

My family and I decided to eat here because we've never tried it before. It has its ups and downs. I had the fettuccine Alfredo... with chicken that was good just needed a little salt. My wife had fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp was the flavor was complicated.The pasta and sauce were good but unfortunately the shrimp was boiled but had no flavor. Her mother had spaghetti and meatballsthat were good but the sauce wasn't exactly bursting with flavor. Our appetizers were garlic knots that had way more garlic thannecessary and the inside was raw dough. We also had mozzarella sticks that were good but they use a universal marinara. Iunderstand that there are a variety of diets out there but a little seasoning could go a long way. Read more
Took my mother here for for 79th birthday dinner. Hoping for great Italian food, but instead got subpar food. The only great... thing was the mozzarella sticks. The garlic knot was the worst, couldn't even eat them, just hunks of garlic, doughy on theinside just gross. The Spaghetti and Meatballs was good, but not brusting with flavor. Shrimp Alfredo and Chicken Alfredo wascomplicated the Alfredo was good, good flavor and cheesy, but the Shrimp was BOILED with no flavor and over cooked. The Chickenwas not seasoned and was a little dry. But overall not that bad of an experience. I kinda Recommend just be cautious of what youorder. Read more
Italian restaurant with great food and service. The baked ziti and salmon were very good. Indoor and outdoor seating is... available. Wait for a table was about 30 minutes on Wednesday at 6:30p. Ample parking surrounds the restaurant. Unisexrestrooms were very clean. Easy to see why this is one of Asheville's favorite restaurants. Read more
We had a blast at Vinny's Italian Restaurant! It was a lively crowd who yelled, Hey, welcome to Vinny's!", whenever anyone... came in the door. My mom had delicious scallops over pasta. There were only three, but they were very large, seared, and fantastic! (Oops forget to take a pic). I had eggplant parmesan that was delicious! Nearly as good as the eggplant I've madefor years. He, he, ???? A little one in our family had a child's portion of spaghetti with one giant meatball. It was a noisyfun place. You do not want to take a quiet date there. Read more
If you know what "real" Italian food taste like, you must go to Vinnie's!! Amazing meal from start to finish. Best lasagna I... have ever had! Top notch service as well! Read more
Locally owned & operated New York style Italian place. Good menu with nightly specials. Indoor & dog-friendly patio seating.... Plenty of free parking. Garlic knots were good, but a little on the crusty side. Sausage Peppers & Onions entree was flavorful &satisfying. NY Cheesecake is ricotta-based. Good, but not what people tend to think of as NY cheesecake. Service was veryprofessional & knowledgeable. Read more
