An absolute local favorite Vinny's is a must try! Located on Broadway in Somerville it is your neighborhood go to Italian. Serving Sicilian style staples, you will always leave here full and satisfied. When you walk in you will see their deli where you can order sandwiches to go, but to the right is where you are able to sit down for dinner. Small and intimate seating. The bread is always fresh accompanied with butter or olive oil and grated cheese. My go to is the lamb osso bucco. This dish is considerable in size and so delicious. It is such a homey meal and makes me feel like I am eating my grandma's Italian food. The lamb literally falls off the bone and the vegetables are cooked to perfection. It is covered in this flavorful broth and is also served with garlicy risotto. Do not sleep on the arancini. They are made simple with peas and rice and yet so tasty and the marinara hits just right. Do yourself a favor and stop in when your craving Italian you wont be disappointed.

Vinnies has been my favorite restaurant for many years and it has always been amazing I recently had a graduation dinner n my waiter marcellus was very efficient n friendly im aunti donna to the servers n all of thrm are eonderful

One of our favorite places, conveniently located in my son's neighborhood. We started with Arancini always yummy. My son had Chicken Marsala with homemade pasta and raved how delicious it was. I had the Chicken Bracciola, which unfortunately was not great. The sauce and homemade pasta with the spinach and sun-dried tomatoes were amazing, but the chicken was very tough and the prosciutto was like leather. Probably just an off night for that dish. We've enjoyed many wonderful meals here and will definitely be back again.

This place is so great, such an unrated family spot in East Somerville right on the Charlestown line. Services (especially Maria!) is excellent and the portions are huge and they let you take wine to go if you don't finish. Head over to Casey's after for some keno, great Saturday night would do again 10/10

i wanted for find a family owned Italian place for supper. I found GOLD ! This place is great, small maybe 8-10 tables. Staff was very friendly. Food was some of the best Italian I've ever had. Bread was actually warm, drinks were large and strong. Food goes with saying, it was Great ... Best cannoli I've ever had ..... Hands Down ..... I've eaten at several place in the North End, never again. If your looking for a good Italian food, drive on through the North End a couple of more miles to Viinny's. You won't be disappointed. Better Food, Better Service, Better Value. Vinny's is my go to place in Boston. I'll visit the place on every trip to Boston for here on.. Wish I could take it back to Alabama with me.

So good. I don't even love Italian food. So good. I can't see how this place is less than five stars. The homemade pasta is to die for. Even when I was full I couldn't stop eating it. As were the meatballs. Honestly, the bread was the highlight. If I just had bread and butter here it would have been five stars! Amazing amazing bread. And let's talk cannolis. People at my table who don't care for them couldn't say enough good things. These were the best I've had anywhere. As for the place itself, it's pretty small and very local. We had a coworker who grew up here and told us to come. The best recommendation I've gotten in a long time and one I won't forget for a long time.

What a gem. A surprisingly serious Italian restaurant in the back and downstairs area of a sub shop / deli. The hand made pasta was served al dente, and the sauces were flavorful and fresh tasting. Nice Italian wine choices, with multiple bottles under $30. Felt comfortable and welcoming as a family of 4 - kids enjoy this place, we saw multiple families. Portions are generous, we took about half of our food home. Service was nice despite apologizing for being understaffed that night. Felt lucky to randomly find this place!

There's few words that can describe the vibes here. The place serves rustic Italian-American comfort food with *fine dining level* saucework and cookery, in a setting so casual that it's literally a sub shop. Better than anything in the North End. Prices are reasonable, portioning is generous. I have some leftovers. We came in on a busy Saturday night, and although we didn't make a reservation - there was one table open. In the future, I recommend reservations. Service was friendly and attentive. Place is underrated and deserves to be recognized with the legendary neighborhood spots like Rino's in Eastie or Nappi's in Medford. I'm so looking forward to coming back here. Place is perfection.

I love this place. It feels so family centered and local even with all the hype they've been getting. Small spot in the back of an unassuming store front The food is always to die for. The lemon chicken is always my go to but I have branched out with the lasagna and the salmon pasta recently and both were also incredible. Service always makes you feel like you're part of the family.
