4 Stars: Vinny' is Italian food with soul... (by Sam W.)

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.

4 Stars: Wonderful Authentic Italian Food (by Bill G.)

The Italian atmosphere and food is wonderful. You would not think you would find a restaurant of this caliber in this neighborhood. Live piano music nightly. Whoever did the artwork and decorating did a great job. I recommend it for lunch or dinner any night of the week. Closed on Mondays.

This is one of my favorite restaurant's, and without a doubt the best in Dundalk! You wouldn't expect this kind of food in this area. Squire's doesn't come close, sorry Squire's fans, but I just don't get it! The food is fresh and delicious and the atmosphere is quite pleasing to be in! And... for a quick bite when passing by, there is a great carry out to boot! You've got to try the Italian Sub and that pizza ain't bad either!

Vinny's Cafe serves excellent Italian food. We've been eating there for two years and Vinny's Cafe is one of our favorite restaurants. They have live piano, and the service is also very good. Prices are reasonable. Family atmosphere. The interior is beautifully paint.

Dining at Vinny's is a great experience. I have been there many times and have used the carry-out. The Italian dishes are extra special. The pizza is the best in town. The American dishes are very good . The atmosphere is very nice and I especially enjoyed the piano player. In the evenings, I find it best to call for reservations.
