Vinny's Italian Cafe in Baltimore - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Came in to have a nice meal with my husband and unfortunately the man at the front desk was too busy to be bothered to seat us, doing nothing. We had to wait for Tony, and when he finally came over after several minutes of waiting, he took the people that came in as he was walking up to us and decided to bypass us and seat them first instead. Poor service. Terrible owners, disgusting atmosphere, neighborhood is scary and I would be afraid to go there alone for fear of being killed. Good luck to anyone that enters this establishment!!

One of the noisiest restaurants I have been to. Was there for a wedding shower...food was good, people were nice, but the noise level was crazy. Could barely have a conversation with people at the same table. They need to add some acoustical tiles or something to their ceiling to buffer the sound.

The post funeral gathering was so much more than I dreamed possible. We dined on delicious food. Everything was simply perfect. All guests thought the meal was outstanding, and the service exceptional. It was a master class in hospitality and excellence in dining. Don't miss an opportunity to enjoy this local restaurant and savor every minute of the experience.

The biggest slice of pizza you'll probably ever have and it tastes absolutely incredible anytime. I'm anywhere near this wonderful place. I stop in and get a slice or two sometimes just to have one to take home with me. Trying to have a few other things off of the menu when I have extra time.

First experience in the dining room for my wife and I was fantastic. Tony was very welcoming and seated us promptly. Service was fast and our drinks, appetizers and entrees were delicious! The grilled squid was the best ever. My wife loved the watermelon crush as well as the burrata.

Delicious food!!! Calzones are A++

Enjoyed the Dinner I had there. The service was good and very attentive.

Not to good service good place nice food not pizza bit sour taste

My favorite pizza in the area. It’s run by a Neapolitan family that takes pride and care in what they make. (Their cousins also own Mediterraneo in Westminster.) I always liked to order the oversized pizza for parties; it was easy and decently priced.

Shrimp and rigatoni excellent. Pizza bread, salads and Sangria was fantastic

My new favorite carryout is Vinny's. My wife and I recently ordered dinner and it was amazing! The pizza is hands down the best in town. My wife loved the stuffed shells and has since tried the spaghetti with meatballs, which she also raved about. We both adore the cheesecake; it's delicious. The restaurant side looks very nice, but so far, we've only tried the carryout.

Update 7/23/24 - Today I decided to try the cheese burger sub. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It was excellent! I love that Vinny's is always consistently fresh with their ingredients. The Italian Cold Cut is awesome! The quality of the meats, cheese, and bread really make this an awesome sandwich. My first bite , I said to my self, " This is what an Italian Cold Cut is supposed to taste like"! I just wish they would have the options of hot peppers. The bread is so fresh and amazing! We frequent Vinny's Café, and love many other dishes as well.

Enjoyed a retirement party, service was excellent, food was flavorful

We used Vinny's for my husband's Celebration of Life and they couldn't have been more amazing. Fabrizio was awesome from start to finish and went above and beyond to make this event special. They set everything up for me at the hall and the food was delicious. I highly recommend using them for your catering needs or just to go out for a nice dinner. I will use Vinny's over and over again in the future.

My family and went there to have dinner nice customer service and the food was great. Definitely will be going back. I highly recommend

You can never go wrong at Vinny's.

Warm in the carryout area but if you choose to eat here go to the other side and get a table in the air conditioner

Super Long wait time 1 Hour with no clear reason. My Order 1 16" pepperoni and onion pizza and 1 10" cheese pizza. My Order #209 Everyone before me and 11 orders placed after mine larger ones at that left before me. requested an update after the first 30mins from 3 people no response besides shrugged shoulders. people are paying a premium for their food. With inflation Businesses better understand how important it is to have the customers you do get. I love their Food it's the customer service end that is a huge disappointment. This is the Third time in a row. Crazy.-UPDATE, Vinny's apologized for my experience, explained to me the issue and we resolved it. Very professional and courteous

We couldn't wait to go back to Vinny's. I hope we pick a bad night. The waitress wasn't very good missed part of the order . The bar was so loud we couldn't have a conversation. The food wasn't very good. We've been here many times in the past and loved it. Way to pricey for mediocre Italian food.

The absolute BEST BIGGEST pizza I've ever had!

Home of the mega slice, great service & food.

We had such a great dinner! The spaghetti for our toddler, the bolognese, and chicken with capers were delicious! The remodel is beautiful and we loved our server! Highly recommend

Great Food & Employees & Owner 😁

This place is awesome!! The food is truly delicious… everything we have tried has been great. Portions are huge. Everything comes out piping hot. Haven’t tried something we haven’t liked! The atmosphere is great and every staff member is so friendly and accommodating. Try out Vinny’s!!!!

Had reservations for 12 of us. Everyone had great food. The crab stuffed shrimp appetizer was delicious, and filling. Our waitress was splendid. We all enjoyed our food.

If you haven't been there you are missing out. The food is absolutely delicious. The service Katie K is fantastic and drinks to top it off. You want quality and quantity then visit. It's awesome. Love this place n been a customer for 21 + yrs. Parties n Family gatherings.

Wonderful atmosphere, fantastic food

La Dolce Vita Italian Social conducted our monthly meeting at Vinny's last night for the first time and we couldn't've been happier. they recently renovated the restaurant it is truly impressive... The Food, Service and Atmosphere were spot on.... I highly recommend Vinnys, The Club as well as myself will certainly be dinning there often

Slice and a sausage roll. So good

Had a wonderful experience. Driving through on Mother's day to NJ. Appreciated Tony's kindness and exceptional attention. Would go back in a heartbeat - highly recommended! 🎆

This was an amazing experience. The service is outstanding. The wine selection is amazing. Try the Valepilocello. It was perfect with the Tour of Italy. It's definitely worth the expense. Makes me want to visit Baltimore on a regular basis.

Very good service. They make everything fresh. They accommodated to make Jain food for us.

Restaurant Refresh is amazing. Food is even better.

The whole team there makes you feel like your family. They are so sweet. Loved everything. Can't wait to go back

My wife and I have been visiting Vinny's for over 20 years. The food and service have always been incredible. The prices aren't the cheapest around but are appropriate for the size and quality of the dishes. Absolutely anything in their rose cream sauce is always delicious. We've also hosted two wakes at Vinny's and had a third catered by Vinny's while the dining room was being remodeled. Each time it was a wonderful experience. Every time we've dealt with Tony or Grace, it always felt like we were working with a family first and a business owner second. The remodel to the dining room is also beautiful. Can't say enough about Vinny's and hope to continue visiting for another 20+ years.

Nice little place with very good food. Service was excellent!

Food is great and staff is very friendly

Excellent place, super delicious food, a little expensive, the price but it's worth it... highly recommended and they have a huge 30" pizza, I'll try that one on the next visit 😉,,

They have remodeled and reopened the dining room. It is a beautiful setting. The food was very good and service was excellent

Fancier than I expected! Food was great. We had a large party, and our server was attentive. I will definitely return when in the air.

I have always loved vinnys great, friendly people a little pricey for so.e things but well worth it.

Cozy Italian carry out with ample seating.

Their pizza is off the hook!!!! And their cannolis are Soooo good.

Great time here with friends and family. Food was outstanding as usual.

Amazing food, great service, solid portions! Vinny’s is a community staple. Highly recommend for authentic italian food that is delicious and flavorful.

This family owned business is fantastic! Always get greeted with smiles and good food. The cheesesteak is good. So is the slices and fries with gravy. I wasn’t particularly a fan of the lasagna but my partner liked it. We enjoy eating here. Can’t wait to try more of the menu.

First time here the customer service was great, food was great. No complaints. My food was great except for my lamb chops , it needed a bit more seasoning but beside that great. Will definitely return.

Best pizza in Maryland hands down coming from a jersey boy!

Everything was super great... thanks for the great food and great atmosphere.

Grace's Rosemary chicken is the best and reasonably priced. Pizza bread is yummy!

Place is amazing. Great food, staff, pricing, and the recent rehab looks fantastic.

So glad the dining room is open again! Katie, our server, was outstanding!! She was extremely efficient and friendly. And her suggestion to try the Old Bay mussels was spot on. The eggplant Iolanda and lasagna were delicious! Hidden gem - try the Kolsch beer. Run, don't walk to Vinny's. You will be glad you did!!

We love Vinny's. The food is incredible and everyone was so helpful especially Katie.

I enjoyed the fettuccine Chesapeake and the muscle special. Which was affordable and very tasty with the beer sauce. The entire staff was professional, and very polite. I personally recommend you ask for Katie as your server, because you will not be disappointed.

This was my first time dining here and the fettuccine bolognese was delightful and delicious. It was a big ole portion on my plate that I had to get the rest to go. For dessert I had the turtle cheesecake and it was very delicious. Katie was my server and she was very sweet, professional, and she was very knowledgeable about the menu, specials, and desserts. Thank you Katie!

The new dining room is beautiful and the quality of the food is even better than I remember. Katie was an awesome server. Very attentive! Checked on us several times to ensure drinks were full and we had everything we needed. Had the crab cakes for the first time and they were delicious!

Dinner was delicious!! Katie’s service was excellent. Can’t wait to go back.

Friday Night was very busy, but i really enjoyed it.

Awesome service. Vinnie’s hamburger 🍔 was excellent. They have fast take out or sit down restaurant at the same location. Nice 80’s Italian feeling atmosphere.

I'm not sure how the food actually is at this place but I placed an online order and immediately realized that it was at the wrong Vinnys so I called to cancel and ask for refund spoke to Oscar he said he would refund me on the next day because this was a Sunday. Since then almost 2 weeks I have called multiple times and left messages with no return phone calls from them and I still have not received my refund for $73.14 , so I'm gonna say their customer service is not good !

Excellent food!!! The dining room is updated and nicely decorated. Staff were friendly and attentive. Bread and pizza bread brought out pre meal was really good. Glad we stopped here for a late lunch!

As my first time here, it was absolutely amazing. The host, Antonio, my other bartender (I believe I heard some call her Chris), and the whole bar staff were completely awesome. The food and service were outstanding. Great connections made and surely would come again.

First time here and Amazing Food & Drinks & Service....will definitely be back. SO grateful for coming across Vinny's Cafe

Glad to see the restaurant open again. One of my favorite places to eat

We've been ordering delivery from these guys for quite some time now, so we were already fans of their kitchen. Not too long ago, we decided to have a meal inside their carry-out area and were equally pleased with the service. On top of all that, after undergoing a significant renovation, they finally re-opened the bar/restaurant room in the back which offers a more upscale vibe. Trust me, you'd be hard-pressed to find a classier and more consistent Italian joint anywhere close by. Bravo Tony!

The Tour of Italy is really big. Ideal for two.

I recently worked with Tony at Vinny’s Cafe for a wake after my father’s funeral. He was very helpful and accommodating and flexible far beyond other options. We were very well taken care of, like we were close family. Everyone raved about the lunch and being able to celebrate at Vinny’s. We had 52 people and I would highly recommend holding a group event there. Please ask for Tony. Huge thank you to Tony and the staff.

Staff is one of the .any reasons I come back. Food is phenomenal and atmosphere is delightful

Stopped in for dinner and it was excellent. Have been coming to Vinny's Cafe for years and the dining room is in the process of reopening. They have reimagined the dining room with a new bar and design, much different than before. Vinny's is still in "soft opening" as there is still work to be completed. Dinner and service was excellent in the dining room and even spent a few minutes talking to Vinny himself, great conversation! If you haven't been to Vinny's recently definitely take the time to check it out.

Best pizza in the area! Everything else on the menu is also great. They never disappoint. The staff is friendly and the restaurant is super clean. Vinny’s has quickly become one of our favorite spots.

I get carry out once a week from there. Everything I have tried is fantastic! My favorite is chicken parmigiana and tour of Italy . I love the Pizza bread. They don’t skimp on Portions either (large)

They remodeled the restaurant and opened it at the end of December 2023 for the first time since the lockdown. Larger bar with TV's and not as cozy. Great family joint. I suggest the Marco Roll (like a Stromboli), meat lovers pasta and their pizza bread. If you order sausage on your pizza it is shaved+++ rather than sliced or crumbled. They also have 30" pizzas which, I have not tried.

Absolutely fabulous from the service to the food

Damn good pizza and pizza bread. The Sicilian is great and the Stromboli is excellent…. Especially for the money 12.50 smh. Darn good price. This place is under rated

so food is like most other Italian restaurants where the cooks are mostly Mexican....nothing wrong with that but there is a difference. the cooks are the M.V.E.(Most Valuable Employee)....thats why it 5 for service cuz its done quickly. nice little place i would say worth the takeout or if u got time i always see people eating here.

Top 5 pizza joints. Got a pep slice and cheese. Both phenomenal. Perfect amount of cheese and the sauce was groundbreaking, no heartburn! The crust was amazing. Still dreaming about it. Cold beer. One of the girls suggested & poured it into a chilled glass for me. It was crisp and delish. If I get the opportunity, I’ll be back.

Great service, and the food is awesome. You have to try Ms. GRACE Bake Chicken Simply delicious 😋

Fantastic food and great people making it

Antonio is one of the best servers I've ever had the pleasure of meeting! Also, the NY Strip was perfectly prepared and delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant.

You can't go wrong with this place . The food is fantastic in that there. Real pizza 🍕 that keeps you coming back.

Pizza yummy and the meat lovers pasta is to die for. I will try other pasta soon

Our first time visiting and you'd a thought we'd been eating with them for years. I can't wait to have a meal in the new dining room. Josh Lewis waited on us perfectly. Thanks again for your hospitality and generosity. See you all soon. Brian and Sharon Lowery.

The best food, the best place, the best service.🙏😋

Went for my first time and I wasn't disappointed at all. We got their Sicilian pizza ,peanut butter explosion, Strawberry tart and the banana bourbon dessert

Went here with my son before a show at Ram’s Head. Couldn’t resist Vinny’s Sicilian Pie. IT WAS AMAZING!!! Vinny and his son were super nice and attentive. Will make this a regular stop anytime I head to Baltimore for anything!

Good food.pizza was to my liking.server was more then helpful.all around nice place.will return

The food was amazing, but I’d come here just for the music! We had the 2 special subs that day which did not disappoint. Service was great too. Overall awesome experience, despite a menacing man watching us during the entire meal 😂

Food was delicious, Fabricio is a great …

Currently under renovation so dining room is closed. Otherwise wonderful experience.

Wow is the best way I can describe this place! I got a recommendation from a colleague to go here and it was amazing! The food was delicious, I grew up eating homemade Italian food so I am very picky with Italian. This food reminded me of my childhood. The service was also phenomenal they were very friendly and just added to the experience. Even though this place is an hour away from home I plan to go back! It was that good.

Excellent, Eggplant Rollatini and a Paulie with Sangria. Fantastic!

Vinny's it's the best... Love everything about this place. GREAT FOOD...GREAT EVERYTHING.

Will be back again soon. Awesome family restaurant

Being of Italian descent I favor authentic Italian cooking; this is what Vinny's Cafe serves to you when you dine there. Delicioso!

This place is an absolute gem: a diamond in the rough. First and most important, the food is delicious and plentiful. They start you off with a mini-loaf of Italian bread fresh out of the oven. Then they wanted to bring some of their pizza bread but I graciously declined because I knew already that our meals would be both good and large. We had a very reasonably priced bottle of montepulciano with dinner. We had a Neapolitan style pie with fresh ricotta and sliced homemade meatballs. It was obvious that the owners have spent plenty of time in Naples as this pie was authentic. Two enormous rollatini di melanzane served piping hot in a pool of thick and creamy red gravy came out next along with an amazing medley of sautéed fresh veggies. I used both the hot bread and the veg to sop up all that extra gravy. We were so stuffed that we passed on dessert but in hindsight I should’ve grabbed some cannoli to go. Everyone was super friendly and attentive. They put the ballgame on the tv for us and one of the owners was purposely visiting and chatting with every customer just like if you were over at his house for dinner. This place is truly special and I hope they stay here for another generation.

If you haven’t been, GO! Enough said.

Love love love this place. Whenever I come here from Montgomery county I always stop in to say hello and grab a bite.

I know Vinnys for 10 years... The food and the services always is great 👍

Our favorite Italian spot. We love Vinny’s and the staff makes you feel like family!

Home of the 30 inch Pizza. I order them for my team about once a month. I get 2 or 3 of them cut into squares. The food is delicious. The service is outstanding. Go check it out. It's worth it, and the pricing is great.
