    Food, Service, Ambiance. were all excellent for a casual meal and affordable price. I popped in for lunch and had philly steak sandwich

    Well the reviews here are spot on. The pizza was very good and cooked with a crisp crust as we asked. The interior had 3 TV's to watch and the noise level was on the quiet side. The server kept checking on us and was amazing also. We will be back.

    Epic Knots
    Ed P.

    We stopped into Big Mike's in Brevard, NC for an early lunch during our trip to the Asheville area. We were the first customers of the day, but the quaint restaurant dining room quickly filled as our visit went on and a number of carryout orders were fulfilled. My family and I started with an order of 12 epic knots ($8). These knots were so large that we should have just ordered 6 knots. That would be plenty for a family of four. The dough was tasty and cooked perfectly with plenty of cheese and garlic flavor on top. We were off to a good start. I ordered a baked calzone stuffed with ricotta, romano, provolone, mozzarella, as well as peppers and onions ($12). This was gigantic! I think it was the size of a 10" pizza folded in half and stuffed full. The flavor was good and the sauce tasted fresh and well seasoned. My wife enjoyed a very large salad ($6.50) and the spaghetti with garlic bread ($6) my daughter had from the kids' menu was large enough for an adult. My point being that servings are large so come with a big appetite!

    We came into town on vacation and wanted to try a local pizza. This pizza had a great flavor. It smelled so good when we got it in the car. We would definitely get another if we were in town.

    I wish I would've taken pictures of our meals!…read more We came here for dinner last night ordered an appetizer of meatballs with a side of the whipped ricotta cheese, and we split the flounder dinner with a side Caesar salad. It was more than enough food for two people. I am Italian, and I usually will only eat my own meatballs, I devoured Vinny's meatballs! My husband thoroughly enjoyed the fried flounder as did I. So we liked it so much the first night we came back our second night in Asheville. Tonight I had the mussels appetizer as my entrée with a side Caesar salad, and my husband enjoyed the flounder so much he got it again! Definite, they must try Vinnys!

    Love a good Italian meal. If I really want comfort and those good full feelings, carb me up and…read moretransport me to pasta paradise. We were in Asheville celebrating our anniversary, and while on the hunt for excellent Italian, came across Vinnie's on Yelp. Now this place is old school, honestly, somewhat to their detriment. No reservations allowed. When you arrive, you give your name, but there is no system whatsoever to let you know it's your turn. No pager, no text, nada. They're also quite popular, so there's not really enough room to wait comfortable inside, it was cold outside, so we just went to sit in the car and pass time as our estimated hour wait chipped away. I came in just to check at half an hour, and they still felt it would be another 30. We came in to wait 15 minutes later, and then started to see people we knew came in after us getting seated. I went to check again, and we'd missed our name being called. They did seat us right away after that... but this just highlights why yelling out a name really isn't sufficient when you typically have waits like this. You can make a free text number for the business to text from on several services if you wanna do something free and rudimentary. Once seated, issues unfortunately did not cease, but thankfully the food we ordered that we actually received was phenomenal. Our server was overly attentive, which is preferable to the alternative, but it made it hard to enjoy each other's company. That attentiveness did not extend to getting our order correct though, our salads never came. They were removed from the bill without issue of course, and in the end, we had plenty to eat (and delicious leftovers). With three entirely preventable issues though, it would have been hard for me to give this experience a 5. The food though... absolutely a FIVE. Arancini was lovely. Crisp but not overly crunchy outside, creamy satisfying texture inside, and an immaculate sauce. Complimentary bread slayed. My lasagna cracked my top 5 of all time, as did my wife's baked ziti. Their sauce recipes here have been honed to perfection, and as you'd expect in Asheville, reflect local and fresh suppliers more than likely. It couldn't taste this good without fresh ingredients. So despite all the issues leading up to the food, the food was so good, we would come back and go for it again. We'll know next time to be more diligent with the host stand, much to their dismay, and just hope for a less chaotic experience overall.

    Being from NY we are used to great Italian food, we were very excited to try this restaurant, as it…read morecame very highly recommended. Sadly, It was average at best. We got several dishes and shared and weren't overly impressed with anything. The lasagna stood out the most, in a bad way. It has some sort of cumin or Mexican flavoring, which reminded us more of an enchilada. The whole concept of waiting outside an hour prior to opening, seems like a way of making it more exclusive but we found it as disorganized as it sounds. We got there at 4pm, for a 5pm open. We were the 3rd in line, yet everyone just pushes through the moment the door opens. It's got a little rough battling through the crowd trying to fight for a table. Once you get in you have to wait 20 mins just to get a drink order in and then it's quite a long wait to order your meal, get the meal and get the check. Not sure why a traditional reservation system wouldn't be mor efficient for everyone, including the staff. Needless to say, we won't be back.

The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and you can tell it's family-run with pride. I ordered the veal Parmesan, and it was absolutely perfect--tender, flavorful, and cooked just right. My wife had the fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp, and she couldn't stop raving about how creamy and rich the sauce was. Every bite was full of flavor, and the shrimp were fresh and perfectly cooked. We'll definitely be coming back! Highly recommended!

I was there at an odd time so me and Valé had some excellent conversations. He definitely cares about his customers. For the Chicken Parmesan and pasta, I finished the whole thing. No problem. Tasty sauce. The bread was good and many might love it but I prefer traditional Italian bread. This is subjective. For the wine, I usually don't care about what kind of red wine I'm drinking but that was the best red wine I have ever had. It's called Montepulciano-D'Abruzzo. That's a lot of letters I'm not used to typing. I mean, I'm used to the letters but not in that order. Let's just call it Monte. This was a great meal and the vibe was incredibly warm. You're going to feel very welcomed here. I even noticed people coming up to Valé to hug him, thank him, etc. This is true Italian nature. They are going to feed you well and make you feel like family. Definitely recommended.

The pasta with marinara was delicious. My hubby said the veal Marsala was tough. The prices are not cheap but the portions are generous. We might give them another chance.
