    Vinny, a charming Italian restaurant, served us an incredible dinner. We started with calamari appetizer that was delicious, followed by bread and salad. For our main courses, we had a steak with seasonal vegetables and breaded veal with pasta. Every dish was bursting with flavor. The restaurant also has the cutest speak easy definitely a must versus before or after dinner.
