The pizza dough is made here on site and it is allowed to rise for 24 hours which means it builds a good structure. I loved the calzone in particular. read more

4pm Wednesday Came in for an order of baked spaghetti. Wasn't busy at all so I was helped immediately. Didn't take long to get my order to go. Family atmosphere and everything appeared clean. It had a 5star rating on Google so I thought I'd give it a try. read more

We had a great dinner here over the weekend. Elizabeth H was our server and she was so nice and gave great suggestions. We enjoyed the basket of fries either cheese and bacon - the homemade ranch was delicious. The kids enjoyed pizza and the moms enjoyed Caesar salads with steak and chicken - so good!! I thought the salads were priced great with lots of protein! Well worth the $12.99. What a great local place for dinner! read more

Our daughter just moved to Glen Allen and we thought we'd give Vinny's a try and we are SO GLAD we did!! Awesome service (can't remember her name, but) and SUCH good food. My husband loved his pizza and I had the best buffalo chicken wrap that I have ever tasted! read more

This was my first time at Vinny's. Its location is right on the main road and has plenty of parking. I went during lunch hour and it was pretty busy. The initial walk in I was met at the door and the place was appealing and someone seated me right away. The ambiance was very casual with music and chatter of other guests. Once seated it took about 3 minutes to get a menu and get asked for a drink. My server was okay. She seemed a bit distracted at times but was attentive when she made her way back to me. I had the Philly cheesesteak sub with onion rings. The food was tasty but wasn't something I have to get again. The onion rings were cooked perfectly. The sub was a good cheesesteak with a good amount of cheese worked into the ribeye. The meat was nice and tender and had a good taste. All in all it was a good visit. I'd go back to try different menu items. read more

Best casual Italian restaurant in the Richmond area! Menu is delicious and only out done by the specials. Unmatched service. read more

I like this place. As long as you are not expecting bold flavors. It's good food for a good price. I think they go for the please anyone and don't over do it. Not going to have something over seasoned or to over the top. Just some food sandwiches and some good pizza. It's the place I pick when I want to go out with a friend and only spend $15 on my meal. Nothing fancy, nothing too crazy just a good meal for a good price. read more

My wife and I stopped in for a late dinner. It was 930 pm and they close at 1030 pm. We ordered a greek salad and a Works large pizza. The greek salad was crisp and good. The pizza came out fast as well and was very good. I think our waiter had had a long day. He seemed whipped and brought sweet tea instead of unsweet that we ordered. And the tea had no ice in it. But he brought ice out as well. The food was very good and we will eat there again.. just maybe takeout. Great location. Easy parking. Friendly people behind the counter. read more

Vinnys Italian Grill - Italian Near Me - Glen Allen, Virginia

We stopped in at Vinny's to give it a try for lunch on Friday. From the website, it looks like Vinny's has 13+ locations in Virginia and North Carolina. It looks like maybe it's a franchise, but I'm not sure. Definitely not a Mom and Pop 'local' place. It's pretty easy to find, it's in a brand new stand-alone building, and seemed to have plenty of parking. The staff was welcoming and we were seated almost immediately, though the place was busy and close to full. Our server was very friendly and attentive. Our orders were gathered and our drinks were refilled pretty quickly. We started with the handmade mozzarella sticks. They were very crispy on the outside and melty on the inside and we mostly liked the taste. It felt like the cheese sticks could have used a light sprinkle of salt before being breaded (or maybe added into the breading itself.. not sure which would taste better), but we got around it by sprinkling a little salt on our plate and mushing the gooey cheese into the salt before dipping into marinara and/or ranch. My friend ordered the lunch baked spaghetti. The spaghetti was sizeable, even for a lunch portion, and the sauce had a unique flavor to me, almost like a BBQ or Manwich flavor, with lots of meat, and a side order of garlic toast. I was surprised that we weren't asked if we wanted meat sauce or marinara sauce and that it didn't come with a salad. Take note if you're like me and like spaghetti with only marinara. Also, we would have liked a bit more butter on the toast, but it was crisp and yummy. I ordered the chicken parm sub, which came with chips, but we upgraded to onion rings for $2. The rings were crispy and flavorful, but the onions were cut thin, so they cooked down a lot leaving a lot of batter and a little onion. If these are hand made, it might be nice to experiment with wider, thicker cut onions. The chicken parm sub came on a large, toasty roll that did a great job containing the chicken, sauce, and cheese. I would have liked a half size sub as a lunch portion, as they never reheat well. If you order it for lunch, maybe move all the chicken to one half of the roll. The chicken appeared to be pounded thin and fried. It had an okay flavor, but a little dry... not the best, not the worst. IMHO, if you're in the area, there are a lot of Italian options, but if you give it a try, let us know what you think! We will probably go at least one more time to try the pizza. Looking forward to reading your review. read more

Food and service were incredible! We had a big group and they were able to seat us quickly, the service was great and the food was delicious! read more

Neighborhood place, family owned I assume. Servers were good. Greeter glared at us and said nothing. There was a debate with 2 staff members going on right behind us and we were seated front of house. Debating who was in charge- unpleasant. Food was okay- some not hot enough. We will try pizza sometime. Maybe carry out is better? We want to like it because it's local. Will try again. Maybe a bad night? read more

Bobby, the bartender, was absolutely incredible. He created the most welcoming and knowledge-filled environment. He produced the most amazing desert cocktails I've ever had. Baklava. Banana split. Key lime pie. Vanilla cream float. Strawberry balsamic??? I need an entire YouTube show of him teaching us the origins of his drinks. NOTE: his signature drink is the Godfather read more

Brought my family visiting from out of town. They were super impressed with the quickness of service and food! Enough leftovers to enjoy at home. Caprese salad was beautiful, enjoyed the massive Stromboli, eggplant parm, lobster ravioli special, even the salads were a hit. As always, our server was a gem - customer service is guaranteed at Vinny's. Love this little place! read more

The food ended up being pretty good. We didn't get any pasta (although we should have). The service was excellent. We ended up with handmade chips, garlic parm wings, a New York Reuben and the smokehouse bbq sandwich. The handmade chips & garlic parm wings were excellent! The New York Reuben was ok. It wasn't the best we've had. But it probably could have used more sauce. The smokehouse bbq sandwich was underwhelming. Mainly because it came on a partial sub roll which looked like two pieces of chicken breast tenders. (they were out of brioche rolls, I wish they would have told me bc it would have impacted what I ordered). Overall I would come back. Oh & the almond cake is EXCELLENT! read more

This was recommend to us and we stopped by to see what the hype was all about. We decided to sit at the bar to witness their coolest restaurant feature, beer that pours from the bottom of the glass. We ended up speaking with the owner most of the night. All staff was very friendly! We had the baked spaghetti and a meat lover Stromboli. Both came out hot and were very delicious. The spaghetti sauce was very tasty and the Stromboli was loaded with meat! read more

So I always see a full parking lot here and decided to give Vinny's a try! Large pepperoni Pizza was undercooked, crust doughy and the pizza was as thin as a small pocket notebook (and that's with the bread cheese & pepperonis on top). Got a Philly cheesesteak as well and it was fine but it had zero peppers or any flavor. read more

We stopped by because we have not been here before and ordered a 12 inch lunch small works pizza without onions. Emma took our order right away and was very friendly. The restaurant also has alcohol on tap. Nice place for families too. We enjoyed our pizza with black olives, mushrooms, pepperoni, ground chuck, and green peppers. Comes out hot and cooked perfectly. The bread that the pizza was on was tasty too. Looked like it was in a fire wood baked oven. We enjoyed the meal and plan to go back and maybe get one of their paninis. We were hungry so ate the pizza before we had a chance to take pictures. read more

The food here is amazing! Great service and many choices. There is something for everyone! If you like Italian food, check them out!!

Food was amazing and service was amazing very attentive, as well one of the best restaurants Ive been too.

Vinny's in Glen Allen should be on your must go to restaurant. The servers are so nice and attentive, Michael and his family make sure your order is always yummy, coming by your table, and the restaurant is clean with a nice atmosphere. The Alfredo sauce, any one of their pizzas , and the stuffed shells are our favs! Give Vinny's a try! read more

We decided to come here for dinner and it was a disappointment. The pizza was terrible. It was undercooked because the vegetables were still crunchy, and they used precooked sausage and imitation cheese. This looks and tastes like Cicis, Little Ceasars, or Domino's at double the price. read more

We love coming to Vinny's!! Everyone there is so incredibly nice and friendly. And the food has never disappointed! Great draft selection as well, including seltzers. And my husband is obsessed with their wings! Side note - they have a claw machine with stuffed animals :) read more

The food here is delicious. We've tried numerous entrees and the pizza and the are amazing. My daughter loves the tomato sauce since it's not as sweet as some places. read more

We just moved to Glen Allen and some neighbors recommended Vinny's. We tried and we liked. The pizza is very tasty, and salads are fresh. It's family owned and service is excellent. If it's great Italian food your looking for now you know where to go. read more

Vinny's is my local lunch spot. I love their Caesar salad with grilled chicken and their pizza is yummy too!!

We just left Vinny's first off to say service was bad Noah R to be exact I asked him to send my Philly cheesesteak back and he said that he could take it back and take the onions off very unprofessional not to mention he completely broke all server rules by letting my drink go empty while he's sitting in the corner with the rest of the waiters eating food and chitchatting ,normally service is great but I would not recommend him ever read more

Went there on a Friday night at 7:40. We were seated right by the door. That should've been my first tip off that they were ready to push us out. We were constantly bombarded by the server who did not let 5 minutes go by before she would come back to the table to ask us if we wanted anything else, if we were ok, if we wanted more water, etc. The answer was continuously - no. Then she has the audacity to ask if I want a box when I haven't even eaten 1/3 of my meal. She then tried to take my meal to dispose of it. The constant badgering continued to the point where I just said I would like a box to get her off my back. She then brought us the check along with the box. You would think we could then sit and talk without interruption, but no. Another sever asked us to leave because our server had to get off work. It was 8:15. The restaurant closed at 10:30. Even if the food were good, I would never go there again. My meal was lukewarm and the sauce had solidified. I would've taken a photo, but I was on a date. read more

The bread was nice when it first came out. Only complaint is that it appears they just brushed on the garlic instead of actually baking with it on it so the little flavor is temporary and not throughout the whole piece. (Maybe offer a rosemary and garlic dipping oil.) Pizza had allot of cheese on it. Not an over powering sauce. It complimented the pizza as a whole. Crust is chewy and bottom wasn't burnt. The baked spaghetti wasn't bad. The meat sauce tasted like it consisted of cooked real ground (really really ground) beef mixed with tomato sauce (can see the actual tomato pieces and finely cut onions in it) not heavy handed with the seasonings but allot of acidity to the sauce which made it a-bit over powering. Noodles cooked perfectly but kinda plain like no salt was added when being prepared. Good amount of mozzarella on-top. Wasn't over cooked or burnt. (Maybe cook the noodles in some salt and put some of the water after the noodles are done into the sauce to hopefully get some of the acidity down.) The stand out of it all is the pizza. I would suggest anyone to come give it a try. Waitress was nice and polite, the gentleman that sat me was also courteous. Monday you get $3.00 off a large pizza so if you want to try but save some money try coming on that day. Try get busy fast. So try and come early!!! read more

Took us a while to stop by and try it, but I am so glad we did! Now it's a frequent dining spot of ours. Vinny is hands down the nicest guy, he makes every interaction personal and friendly! I don't remember the bartenders name but he hooked us up!! He is awesome! 10/10. We let him just bring whatever he would recommend and it was divine! Everything comes out fresh, hot and delicious! Not to mention, SUPER QUICK! read more

My son and ate at Vinny's last night ( Friday) we ordered the Bruschetta, Manicotti, and Veal Marsala. It was horrible! When the Bruschetta came out, the bread wasn't toasted at all. It was described as 'Al forno' so I expected melted mozzarella on top, but what we got looked like melted Colby Jack ( orange and white) . I took one bite and found the bread was luke warm and soggy! I sent it back immediately and I have never done that in my life! When the entrees came out, my son's Veal Marsala looked like thin beef broth with mushrooms poured over pasta noodles. He said it tasted very bland and the veal was stringy. My manicotti looked good, but when I bit into it, the cheese inside was very paste-like and tasteless. We just paid and left. Never going back. read more

Recently tried their GF pizza and GF penne paste. The pizza was thin and crispy. Plenty of the toppings and it was delicious. The GF pasta was huge. You have several sauces to choice from and can add meat and salad. I got the chicken with Afredo sauce. The portion was huge. Could feed 2-3 people. Glad to have a GF Italian place to eat at. read more

Good food in a relaxed, semi-casual environment- just what we needed while traveling. Staff was exceedingly friendly and pleasant.

Fantastic food and classic atmosphere. Pizza is great and the subs are fantastic. An absolute win!

This was our 2nd time going to this location. This first time was a wonderful experience, great service and amazing Beyond Burger. Today was the exact opposite... Our server first brought a cup of water with a brown substance floating in it. I ordered the Beyond Burger again and it was barely cooked. It felt like mush when I tasted it. I nicely asked the server if they could cook it a bit longer. She took it back and here comes the owner/manager/cook, IDK who he was because he didn't introduce himself. He spoke to me in a loud voice, explaining to me like I'm a child, that it wasn't meat and it was supposed to be that way. I replied that I have eaten several meatless burgers and even a few nights before at his establishment that were cooked perfectly. I asked to have that same patty just cooked more... he said he would make another but then goes back into talking down to me again that it's not meat. I then asked for the meal to be removed and left without dinner. Will never go back!!! read more

What a great family run & owned restaurant! This place is a hidden gem. Tonight we had the pleasure of Katherine serving us. We were road weary after traveling from Boston early this morning trailering our boat. Both of our meals were tasteful & delicious. The bartender whom we didn't get his name made us two terrific drinks. The owner came by to see how our meal was & if we needed anything. This place is terrific & I highly recommend. Thanks Katherine for a wonderful much needed meal for our road weary bodies. Hopefully we'll cross paths again. Bless You & Best Wishes! WE SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESS read more

This place was highly recommended as has so many good reviews, unfortunately it wasn't a good experience. The server was sweet but really shouldn't be waiting on tables. She didn't figure out we were her table until about fifteen minutes. She forgot about getting our drinks for another hot minute. I can only guess she forgot about putting in our order bc the app came out 1/2 after we ordered the pizza 45 minutes. It was 2 in the afternoon and not busy. The food was good but lacked a lot of flavor. The owner sat at the bar and watched soccer and seemed oblivious or even cared about his guests. His son who was on the floor seating did finally see how annoyed we were and fetched the pizza. While we waited two tables came in sat and ate before we even got our food, but they had a different server. Not once did any staff apologize or try to make the situation right (discount an item or offer complimentary bread/dessert). read more

I was really impressed! The food was delicious. I had chicken cannalloni and my husband had blackened chicken primavera Both were awesome! But the best thing about this restaurant is Bobby the bartender. He is extremely knowledgeable about wines. Be sure to ask if there is anything off-menu. He is also a fabulous mixologist. The lemon drop is the best I have ever tasted! I asked Bobby to make me something tart and he made me a key lime pie cocktail. I could taste the crust! Bobby is awesome! read more

Pizza was great. First time trying that restaurant. Friendly counter personnel. Definitely going to go back!
