Reviews for Vinny's Italian Grill & Pizzeria in Charlottesville, VA

Sorry for the length, just want to share our experience because knowledge is power and someone else can make their decision... based on the information that I'm sharing. I want to start this by saying that I really had hoped to be able to email someoneto talk about my experience but could not find any contact info other than a phone number for the store and I know that's justgoing to put me through to a server and no difference will be made. We've gotten take out a few times since moving to the areaand the food has always been great! And the staff even went above and beyond when I left a little note saying that we were aboutto have a baby when one of the takeout orders was for my after delivery meal. And for that reason I'm giving three stars insteadof less. If I had to go by tonight's experience it would definitely be either one or two, I really can't decide at thispoint. It was because of the great takeout that I decided I wanted to come here for my birthday dinner- which was our firsttime eating out since the baby was born. Everything seemed okay at first and I thought we had just beat the evening rush (whichsurprised me that there was one on a Monday). It didn't take long to notice that a lot of people were waiting on their food andthat turned into us waiting a long time as well. It was probably about 40 minutes before our food finally came out and we wereliterally about to leave because our young kids were getting antsy. But that was the least disappointing thing. The mostdisappointing thing was the food itself. I had ordered the chicken piccata which is pan-fried chicken over pasta in a lemonbutter sauce. The chicken came out looking like Casper the ghost and it was sitting in a pool of basically lemon juice andbutter. I know some sauces are a bit runnier than others but I really wouldn't call this a sauce at all. So beyond looking unappealing, the taste was just not what was expected. My husband's entree also was very unappetizing as the raviol Read more

In a nice shopping complex area, wanting to come back to trade more thingson the menu. pricing was ten through fifteen dollars lot of good options for 10-11$ Read more

Italian chicken wings were fantastic as an appetizer. Calamari was okay, nothing unique about it, just fried. Philly cheesesteak... was good although there was not a lot of of the steak part. Lasagna was really good. They serve wine and beer, no liquor.Service was good, so will definitely visit again. Read more

Fun, lively, kid-friendly Italian. Clean dining room with lots of space. Quick and friendly service even though it was quite... busy. I started with the NY Slice, a generous, soft, and fresh take that felt neopolitan with lots of flex in a thinundercarriage. My main was the Meatball Parmigiana Sub, on great 10 inch bread with authentic flavors. I got a side of onionrings, maybe the best part of the meal. My service was kind and attentive, and the whole thing with drink was $20. Definitelyrecommend. Read more
