Vinny's is a great little Italian restaurant located on Holabird Ave. near the what it now closed GM plant. Vinny's has to be one of the best surprises that I discovered during my time working in this area of the city. I would go there for lunch and found some truly wonderful treats there. To begin with Vinny and his wife Grace are very welcoming and very, very hands on in the operation of this great neighborhood business. The back end of the building is a very nice dining room area whereas the front end of the building houses the open kitchen area and a small sit down area for those who just want to run in eat and run out. There is also a cafeteria style ordering line. The pizza is wonderful. Vinny makes different pizzas everyday, but he always has cheese, pepperoni and sausage pizza available (oh the sausage!!!). I have also seen a tomato, feta and brocolli pizza, an artichoke and tomato pizza and my absolute favorite pizza, the clam, shrimp, garlic and cheese pizza, which has no tomato sauce is just on fire!!! Damn it is good!!!! Vinny's also offers a variety of fresh salads, try the Mesclun Salad, which has fresh Mozzarella cheese and roasted red peppers. They also have great sandwiches, try an Italian Sub or a Cheesesteak, you will not be disappointed. For those of you that love French Fries, Vinny's is the place to go. You get a huge bag of French Fries, these are hearty steak fries and they deliver them to you without a lot of grease, freshly prepared and hot!!! There are so many truly wonderful items on this menu, I would do Vinny's a disservice to just mention a few. You will love this place. Tell Vinny that I said hello!
PROS: Great food, great staff, great consistencny.
CONS: Needs more locations.
