Great food and awesome vibe. Live music started at 7pm. Crowded and fun. We split a pizza as an appetizer, was really really good! Then I had meatballs and spaghetti while my son had a rigatoni dish. Pasta excellent. Wine was great, and I tried their house beer which was really good as well. The staff is excellent and pride friendly fast service. Enjoy!

This place is fabulous. Great food, great vibes and we had the most amazing server named Eda Francesca. Darling woman who is so fun to talk to, seems like she really loves her job. Made the whole experience exceptional. We came back the following day and had her as our server again because we loved it so much!

From the moment we walked in, the hostess greeted us with warmth and made us feel incredibly welcome. Her inviting personality definitely influenced our decision to dine there, and we're so glad we did.The atmosphere was fantastic great music, lively entertainment, and positive vibes all around. The energy in the restaurant was contagious, with everyone enjoying themselves, dancing, and having a great time. We also thoroughly enjoyed the food both the pizza and calamari were absolutely delicious. The service was quick, and our waiter was friendly and attentive. The prices were very reasonable for the quality of food and experience. Overall, we had a wonderful time at and we’ll definitely be returning in the future! Highly recommend.

Five stars isn’t enough! Vinnie’s in Fort Lauderdale completely exceeded all expectations. The food was absolutely phenomenal—fresh, flavorful, and served with care. But what truly made the experience unforgettable was Scott. From the moment we walked in, he was warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive. His genuine hospitality and attention to detail made us feel like VIPs the entire time. If you’re looking for amazing food paired with top-tier service, look no further. We’ll definitely be back—thanks for everything, Scott!

Absolutely amazing. Service was great, thanks Scott!! And the pizza & oysters Rockefeller were incredible. They buy the flour from Italy for the pizza and it's very light and thin. Best pizza I've had in a long time. Seriously highly recommend. Great happy hour deals too.
