"This Italian restaurant is my favorite, and I can't get enough of it. It's rare for a restaurant in NYC to last for ten years, let alone twenty-six, and one taste will show you why. To be clear, if you're searching for authentic old-country recipes that mimic your Italian grandmother's cooking, or a trendy, upscale place aiming for a Michelin star, you should look elsewhere—there are many Italian restaurants around that satisfy that demand better. However, if you crave Italian-American comfort food reminiscent of what NYC families have been making at home for over a century, the kind that makes your local pizzeria’s non-pizza offerings seem lackluster, then this place is unbeatable. They serve the best chicken parmesan in the city—crispy and generously topped with rich, tangy marinara—as well as the finest spaghetti bolognese, infused with Italian spices, warm and crumbly, and perfectly balanced to fill you up. If you want to experience what a true $20 Italian-American meal of meat, pasta, and red sauce should taste like—unlike the mediocre fare at places like Olive Garden—this is the spot for you. Bring your friends from the Midwest who grew up enjoying pasta at family restaurants and truly impress them. It may not be trendy or Instagram-worthy, but it represents the best version of the Italian food most Americans cherish, ignoring any big-city pretensions. Plus, the atmosphere is cozy, and the staff are incredibly kind. I highly recommend it!"

Years have gone by, since I ate at Vinny s. Due to health reasons. Atmosphere was lovely with waitresses always prompt and smiling. Food is delicioso and special. All individual entrees Fish, Chicken, Veal, Pasta, etc. are cooked and seasoned to your specifications. Till this day. Everyone raves Vinny s Best.

The food was not truly authentic Italian; it felt more like "American-Italian" cuisine. The service was average— I was the only person in the restaurant who didn't receive bread and was not checked on to see if everything was alright. I have a suspicion as to why I was treated differently, but I would prefer not to make any claims that could harm the restaurant's reputation. I would encourage the waitress to be more genuine and less passive-aggressive. I sincerely hope that my experience wasn't affected by my race.
