Will never go there again.

by mmllkk

7 of us went there for the marathon yesterday. I've never seen such a group of rude people before. 1st, they want to charge us $50 per person to sit on the patio. It's empty, no one is there. Then we are inside at the bar, and the front runners go by, so we walk out onto that patio to cheer them on. I hear Jose the manager, and another employee flipping out that they should charge us $35 dollars to walk out there and that the patio will go over capacity. Again the place is still empty. 1/2 the poeple out on patio are workers. So, we left and went on to another place up the street. Spent about $1K total there for the rest of the day. They charged zero to get out on the patio. I will never go to Vinny T's again.

• Pros: Rude staff, Rude staff, Rude staff
• Cons: There are none

they're too proud of their homemade pasta to provide whole wheat substitute

by freewilly7

love their rhode island calamari -- they do it w/a bit of sauce (it's slightly moist instead of fried dry) w/pickled chili peppers.

other than that, dishes are ordinary. had a little bit of a problem that they are too proud of their handmade pasta to offer whole wheat substitute. would still patronize when the stars align, but definitely not a crazed fan.

p.s. i heard they used to have lucky drawings and my colleague once won a free dinner. don't know if they still have that going on.

:)

• Pros: family/kid-friendly
• Cons: no whole wheat substitute for pasta

Don't bother ordering takeout

by pnkseashel

I called to order takeout and the man who answered told me they didn't offer takeout. When I asked why it said online that they offered takeout he took my order. When I showed up to pick up my food 35 minutes later, he hadn't even put my order in. When he turned around to put it in, I asked if he had ordered my food and he said yes, when I asked again, he said no and laughed in my face.

Don't bother ordering takeout, because it obviously isn't a priority for them.
