Where is the Best Italian Food in Austin, Texas?
I’ve been to Vinny’s several times throughout the years (2-3yrs). The food is good, the service is good, and the atmosphere you experience is especially good. I brought my ex-boyfriend here, I went with my good group of friends, I also brought someone visiting Austin from other city. It absolutely love this place. (If I recall correctly, there’s such entree named aunie mary or something like that, it’s great!)Pros + Parking, Price, ServiceCons – Couldn’t find one yet
My husband and I went on a Friday night recently. I went in having low expectations, knowing it was a buffet style restaurant and in my experience this usually means a wide variety of mediocre food, usually overpriced because of all the waste that is taken into account. Keeping that in mind, I wasn’t really disappointed. I was actually pleasantly surprised with a lot of the dishes, and I appreciated that the “chefs” put out small, fresh quantities of everything instead of enormous troughs. We had fun sampling all the different kinds of food, though there was too much to be able to try it all in one visit. Some of our favorites were pasta dishes, like Rigatoni Primavera, Pasta Rossa, and Fire Roasted Vegetable Lasagna. I also really liked the rotisserie chicken, and the meatloaf with balsamic glaze. Some of the vegetables that stood out were the broccoli limone, the butternut squash, and the summer squash. All the salads where pretty good, and the little mushroom toasts wer
Talk about a family biz, everyone working there looks related, but the family love seems to pay off in the food. They do an amazing pizza, every one we order (save for the scilian style crust which was overcooked and dry) just seems to blow us away. and if that’s not a reason to go, their pasta dishes are pulled off very well, too. Plus they serve unique and tasty garlic rolls with every pasta order, but we get them as a side no matter what. If you have the time, and it’s not Friday nite (they get CROWDED), skip the chain pizza and try this place. They don’t dissappoint. There’s nothing magical about the ambience, and the service can be slow, especially when there is a crowd, but it’s worth the wait.
