I just had a wonderful Ceaser salad from this restaurant. Super tasty, but I wonder how much better it would have been if it was actually dressed with Ceasar dressing? Maybe you forgot to put the dressing in the To Go Bag? OR is this how you sell your Ceasar Salad? read more

Fabulous service. Marvelous food. VERY reasonable prices. How can one find more to say about a restaurant than that? Maybe the best restaurant in Sonora? If not it's hard to say what is. Eat here and you'll see what I mean read more

Viney's has been a favorite of mine for a while spaghetti is my favorite meal and this is awesome

Stopped here on my way back from the eastern Sierra. Got a pesto turkey fococcia sandwich and the bread was delicious, meat was fresh, service was friendly It's right off the main drag so easier to park and less busy! read more

My wife and I visited on a Thursday evening about 7:00 for the first time. Not very crowded (3-4 tables full). Menu was pretty complete, but they did not offer my wife's favorite Eggplant parm. They were offering some Indian dishes that were not explained very well so we stuck with Italian. I asked about beer on draft, and the server explained that it was cold but there was something wrong with their system. I tried a Sam Adams... totally flat, but I accepted it. My wife ordered a nice glass of cabernet. It came with a visible 'film' floating on the top, which she removed with her fingers (soap residue??) but the rest of the glass looked clean. We ordered with side salads (extra charge) which arrived promptly. Mine seemed fine, but my wife thought some of her greens were wilted. I ordered Classic Lasagna, and it came made to order in an oblong dish sitting inside an oval shaped steel mesh basket. The dish wobbled around in the basket. The marinara tasted good at first (not too acidic, a little spice), but by a few more bites, it tasted pretty bland. My wife had a Calzone with the marinara and thought it had too much oregano for her. Her Calzone bread was not completely cooked in some places (mushy). The wait staff was attentive, and we were served pretty quickly. I hope we just caught them on an 'off' night. read more

Every time we have gone to Sonora we noticed this place always has customers. So finally we decided to give it a try. Although we were a bit hesitant due to the Yelp reviews we still went for it! As we walked in you could smell the scent of something old, but we were in a lot of the other shops near by and they had the same odor. Could be just the old buildings ‍ The restaurant was very clean! We ordered pizza, spaghetti and meatballs, salads and Italian calzones. All of our food was delicious! Would definitely return! My kids loved their food!!!! read more

The restaurant is good, but , unfortunately for us the pizza though being fresh and different wasn't good. We ordered veggie stuffed pizza which had different veggies and the pizza tasted bitter every now and then. Initially I thought it's simply in a bite but later we realized it's quite frequent and ruined the taste being bitter in taste. Even complained this to server but nothing of much help. We bought back the leftover pizza pieces home and when ate realized the olives had ruined the entire pizza taste. I can't blame them for this but sadly we couldn't enjoy our food. The restaurant was full on weekends and has long waiting so be prepared for that. read more

We ordered mozzarella sticks that came to our table ice cold. The beers were warm and the risotto, which is a favorite on the menu was disgusting. This is not a legitimate "Italian" restaurant. Worst food we've ever had. read more

Food was good and place was clean. Caprese salad was super yummy and refreshing! Service was great!

The food is pretty good here. A good selection of dishes to please any one. They even have a Indian dish night, Thursdays I think. The staff was friendly as well. read more

We ordered pizza, meat ziti, chicken Parmesan, spinach ravioli. All good. the ziti was the best. Also delicious cheesecake. Chicken Parmesan could use more Parmesan. All the red sauce was delicious. Some serving mistakes such as allowing beer to empty, bringing the check before they asked if we want dessert, bringing one entree a few minutes after everyone else's (and not mentioning it was on its way...we thought they'd missed it). It also would have been great to be offered a salad. Pay at the register. read more

I'm sorry but not worth 10.00 for pastrami sandwich .. I could get more meat and size at Togo's for this price. First time trying this place so disappointed.. the bread is on is very tasty I like it. Got the meatball sandwich too not sure what the meatballs are made of but not beef . read more

My family and I tried this place out on Saturday night. All four of us enjoyed it. We ordered cheesy garlic bread to share (yum!), a calzone, lasagna, spaghetti, and the turkey panini. The service was excellent. Our server checked up on us regularly and made sure we had what we needed. There was only one other table occupied when we arrived, but as we left there were four more tables in use. There is plenty of parking and a short walk to Washington Street. We'll definitely be back. read more

This restaurant is sheisty. I was there to pickup my food on Friday Nov 4 and I was told it wasn't ready yet. Well come to find out after waiting over 45 minutes in the front lobby the had given part of my order to one of the customers in the restaurant. Then they tried to lie about what had happened. I wasn't even offered anything to drink or anywhere a bit more comfortable to wait. For the prices this place charged for their food you would think they could be a bit more accommodating and hire waitresses that are a bit more pleasant. read more

Friendly service n the food is great! We even took something home for the next day because we couldn't decide what we wanted. LOL.

I don't know what I can say other than the calzones are possibly the most amazing calzones i've ever had. The crust was done perfectly, had a nice parmesean coat. For the price, in CA, it can't be topped. I strongly recommend. read more

So........ "Phil" from Aptos doesn't like Vineys? That's odd, he likes SO many other businesses. (Not really, he only has 6 reviews, and all of them are one star.) I like Yelp, but the bad thing about Yelp is anyone can bitch about a place for no reason. So when you have conflicting reviews, consider the source. The sausage, black olive, pepperoni, italian sausage (yeah, yeah - I like sausage!) calzone is amazing. Try it. read more

Viney's Italian Kitchen - My huge calzone! $10.99 - Italian Near Me - Sonora, California

I do not leave reviews but after tonight I decided I needed to. My family and I came in just as it was getting busy and had many issues. I could overhear in the kitchen the chef, the girl with the blonde hair, was confused and messing up dishes, making our wait time for our family of 5 over 45 minutes. Our server with the glasses and nose ring was extremely kind and attentive, as we knew none of this was her fault. She made sure we had full drinks, and plenty of extra napkins as well as anything else we needed. The food was okay, nothing special. Our dishes came out one at a time maybe every few minutes which was a little frustrating. Overall, the experience definitely needed help or maybe just some new staff in the kitchen. read more

Delicious food and they were flexible with vegan alterations! Will definitely be coming back to try out everything on the menu and want to visit on a day they have Indian food too, I bet it's delish! read more

We decided to try Viney's Italian kitchen downtown Sonora about 3 months ago. I had the healthy Meatless Lasagna. It was the best Lasagna I have ever eaten! There was a lot of cheese, veggies, thick noodles, and a delicious marinara sauce! Unfortunately my husband ordered a bologna/meatball sandwich. It was very thin, and nothing close to a Subway meatball sandwich! He didn't like it, and doesn't want to return there! I will go back with a friend and have that wonderful lasagna! I have eaten delicious lasagna at Pinocchio's, but Vineys was my favorite Give it a try, I am sure you won't be disappointed. I saw delicious looking plates at other tables. It is like a real Italian restaurant in Italy! read more

We saw their sign on Washington, I cheered to see they served a classic, no nonsense salad. Regular lettuce, tomato, cucumber, etc. Not in the mood for cranberries and walnuts. Their menu is grand, great selection of pizzas including chicken curry and build your own! All sorts of lovely sounding pastas, paninis that made our choices difficult. Beers and wines, bubbly champagne, shrimp scampi. I stayed with a small salad with shrimp, too much for me to finish. David chose a turkey pesto panini, I got one bite and refrained from stealing more. Excellent prices, $22 for lunch. Two tiny suggestions would be to take the tails off the shrimp and advertise!!! They need to stick around so we can come back! read more

I wouldn't come here as it gets closer to closing. The food tasted like it was rewarmed. I ordered lasagna and my partner ordered some pasta. Both of the food tasted rewarmed, like when you microwave pasta and parts of it are undercooked and cold, and other parts are hard and overcooked. I don't know if I would come back here. read more

Delicious and authentic Italian food! Our family started with the mozzarella sticks and house salad then we ordered the Spaghetti Marinara, Lasagna Classico and the Baked Meat Ziti. Everything was delicious. Our server was very sweet too! read more

When you read their website they talk up the pasta so I had their spaghetti, let me just say I can make a better one at home. My wife got some pasta dish I can't remember what but sh also was disappointed in it. On and done! read more

Hmmm where is the italian food? Over priced and a bit confused on their identity, they should change their name and stop misleading people who are for the most part tourist. read more

Just plain bad , Nothing Italian about this place.The guy cooking knows nothing about Italian food , I over heard him speaking and it sounds like he is from Bangladesh, This place could be on the worst cook show on T.V and it would be first. Tried to eat there 2 times and my dog would not eat the last item i ordered, They should buy some frozen pizza and pre made items from Sysco food distribution , it would be a huge improvement. Then again maybe open a The Bangladeshi Kitchen , he has to be far better. read more

It's ok, their pesto pasta is pretty good but pizza always disappoints, the breadsticks weren't bad it's just it was just dough and chz no seasoning or anything, we also ordered the chicken curry pizza and it looked like it had curry on it but my boyfriend and I c ldnt taste any curry at all, wasn't bad but definetly had zero curry flavor which was disappointing, customer service is ok, it's not amazing and they are always empty when I come in, if your looking for good pizza pizza plus is way better, and if you want good pasta, dio and back is amazing over all, they will be a last resort for me read more

Horrible service. Very rude waitress. Food was made wrong and not good. The waitress gave wrong info about the meal and got upset when we said something. The price was adjusted, but the waitress tossed the bill onto our table and stormed off. Will never eat at this dive again. read more

Tourist trap serving luke-warm food-poisoning gutter-to-table. Ate here twice; once disappointed, next time my girfriend got food poisoning. Ordered an omelette and asked for melted cheddar on top. Got upcharged for the cheese. Plate came to the table reaking of decomposition. She took a bite and was a little unsure. I called it out to the server who checked with the kitchen and confirmed that the night shift had left the bag of cheese out on the counter overnight and it had spoiled. That didnt stop them from preparing and serving it to customers. Asked that they make it up to us on the bill; they comped the additional charge for the cheese and nothing more. Says a lot about their care for customers. Girlfriend was sick all weekend. Will never go back. Pass this place daily and always jokingly remark " how about some food poisoning?" Avoid at all costs. read more

This is my 3rd time there and have never been disappointed, I had the calzone and the wife had lasagna, and we both said it was the best we've ever had, and we will be a forever customer.. the staff (including the owner) were amazing and friendly.. everything was soooo fresh !!! read more

This is Sonora's hidden gem. We enjoyed lunch today at Viney's Italian Kitchen. Everything was delicious. I had the chicken Caesar salad. True hearts of romaine, crispy and fresh, not limpy green ends. The croutons were homemade and the dressing was on the side. It was light and lemony. My husband had a salami and cheese panini sandwich with crispy shoestring fries. Both delicious. They have a lengthy wine list and feature excellent local wines at a reasonable price. The chef and server were charming, friendly and attentive. The ambiance is comfortable and cozy. It feels like an upscale winery. I highly recommend Viney's for lunch and dinner. We're looking forward to trying the Indian entrees on Thursday or Saturday. read more

I have been coming here for a few years and recently have noticed some changes that are not good. I like the calzones here but lately the inconsistent quality is noticeable. Yesterday I ordered the Italian calzone and it was over $15. Not a cheap sandwich. I was shocked at how little meat was in there. I saw only ham and maybe 2 slices. The sandwich was literally 90% bread and cheese. I probably won't be back. read more

We came here after spending a great day with the family up in Big Trees. Our waitress Justice was amazing along with the food. So much of their items are made right in the restaurant from scratch. If you like a good family owned restaurant with good food and great service you have to try this place. The french fries are a must have. read more

Server/waitress was nice and brought us our drinks and salad right away. The issue is the cook ... very few people in the restaurant when we first arrived. Long wait for main entree... 45 minutes if not longer lost track. Once food arrived, spinach lasagna was under cooked as well as the salmon was raw. Ate what was cooked, asked for to go boxes and left. $60 for 2 entree, 2 salads, 2 drinks. Gratuity = 20% because the server was nice but sadly we won't be returning. read more

Best thing about Viney's: they deliver. Prices are higher than what I'm wanting to pay, but I can't beat the delivery option. Portions are large enough. Pretty good consistency. We ate in the restaurant once, it was so so, but we have very few delivery options so that alone gets another star. The food is packaged very well arrived warm and ready to eat. Great delivery experience. read more

Been here twice in the last 10 tens and i have to say, it's absolutely amazing! Everything was fresh, hot and seasoned well. The Island Ham Bacon pizza turned into a calzone is one of my fave dishes! The caramel cream Italian soda was yummy. Salad fresh, mozzarella sticks crunchy, the chicken alfredo was made into a kids portion and my 13 month old LOVED it. She also loved her dad's bbq wings! Spinach ravioli with alfredo sauce and beef ravioli with alfredo sauce were delicious. The price? Awesome! Service? Great! The waitress was very attentive! Bathroom clean. Restaurant clean. All in all it was great! Will be back for sure! read more

Great place to grab a bite. They have lots of good options at good prices and the food tastes really good! Great decoration, very fun and modern. Super clean! Lots of parking in a lot outside, street parking, or in a lot behind the restaurant. Great salads and soups if you're in the mood for something light. Friendly and helpful service! read more
