My husband and I found this restaurant through Tripadvisor, all the excellent ratings are on the money! We had shrimp scampi, ravioli, linguini w/ shrimp in white sauce, hubby had grandmas Sunday spaghetti, specialty drinks Italian mimosa and strawberry sparkling martini, huge piece of chocolate cake for dessert was homemade, cappuccino very good. Everything :::bold, underline::: was incredible!!!!!!

I admit that sometimes its crowded, and we've had to wait up to 45 minutes to be seated, but the wait was always worth it !! They would bring around samples of food to help ease the hunger pains until your name was called. Once seated, the staff go out of their way to give great service. It is a... More

This is our favorite place to eat in Asheville and certainly the best Italian food. The service is great; the staff is welcoming and attentive. The prices are reason especially for the quantity and quality you receive. Now the food - it is amazing. It reminds me of food in Italy, New York City, and some of the best home... More

We love going to have dinner at Vinnie's. It is really a fun place to eat great food. The Staff treats you as friendly family as soon as you walk in the door!

Vinnie's announced soft shell crabs were on the menu until gone. We went for dinner the next night and number one the crabs were no more and two there was a half hour plus wait. I do not wait a half hour for anything. Sorry. I wish they would take reservations because when we did get in last year the... More

The staff at this restaurant is the nicest and most friendly we've come across in a long time. They have great team work. Our waiter, David, was especially charismatic. The menu had quite a variety of entrees. The atmosphere was pleasant and comfortable, and we enjoyed our dinner and dessert. You could tell it was a favorite place for the... More

Upbeat staff, quick service, and delicious food. The pesto pizzetti and the pasta special with sausage and broccoli in a strawberry-white wine-cream sauce were particularly outstanding.

First time diners-our anniversary. Excellent service with a smile. Soiled dishes whisked away immediately, but we never felt rushed. Everything made on site. Great bread (2 types) in basket, infused olive oil & balsamic vinegar for dipping. Salads just right. Fresh ingredients-not drenched in dressing. Loved the eggplant parmigiana-just right-not too oily, nor too cheesy. Our charismatic server offered us... More
