I've eaten their food three or four times since they opened. The service was friendly and quick. I don't think you can beat the economy of their $5 gyros. The shawarma gyro was great! Love it!

Just finding this gem after five years in Lynchburg…read more As others have pointed out, this restaurant is tucked away in the corner of an even more out-of-the-way quiet shopping strip, so you can easily drive by and never see it. True Sicilian owned and run trattoria where there is a wide ranging menu of American and Italian specialties. We stuck with the Italian and some apps for the little ones. Apps come out quick and are decently sized which is great when you have two kids. The mac & cheese was homemade and not the boxed stuff - and my youngest tore into it and was literally wearing it all over his face - he loved it. We also had bruschetta, which was house made and excellent except it was served on sicilian pizza dough - would loved to have had real italian bread for that. Italian meals were shrimp parm and my wife had the seafood special (sort of a marechiara) and both were excellent. Sauce is good, maybe a tad too sweet for me, but good nonetheless. We had a lot of food and even with that we finished with spumoni ice cream - which I haven't had in years. Serving was huge and we all shared it. Service was adequate - the waiter had no clue what things are in Italian and needs to work on that, but otherwise all good. We walked out fat and happy. Definitely going back. Large parking lot in front.

After many great experiences at Lori's in Forest, we unfortunately came the night the manager is…read moreoff and that has made all the difference. Multiple staff were vaping in the kitchen. We were rushed though our meal. Our waitress came up to us with boxes 15 minutes after bringing us our food and asked how many we needed - mind you, we were still actively eating. She took the cheese off the table to put away while we were mid meal. Important note: this was an hour and a half before they closed. We weren't lingering. Unfortunately, won't be recommending this place any more, especially because of the smoking in the kitchen. when we checked out, we mentioned that it wasn't as pleasant of an experience as normal, and were completely ignored as they just continued checking us out.

We are in town celebrating the very recent birth of our grandson. We offered to bring dinner and…read moreasked our daughter what she would like. She said she'd love to try Downtown Cairo. Her wish was our command, so we found their restaurant on Forest Ave. We are no strangers to Middle Eastern cuisine so we were interested to find out what an Egyptian place around here would be like. Wow! It was fantastic! We ordered the "lunch" gyro combo for our three year old granddaughter... she will be eating it for the rest of the week haha! Son-in-law got the Egyptian street burger, and the rest of us ordered bowls with shawarma meat. The meat was flavorful and tender. All the toppings were fresh (there are lots of great options). Falafel was spot on! I hope they're fabulously successful, because we can't wait to come back the next time we're here! There's lots on the menu (grape leaves and Habibi fries) that I want to try.

I'm new to the area, and have been making it a point to try local restaurants. While I'm…read moredisappointed immensely in the lack of Italian restaurants in the area, I was very pleased with my order from Vinny's. I had the eggplant parm dinner (which is how I personally gage every Italian restaurant I eat at), with a side salad with homemade ranch dressing. I love that it's not Ken's from a giant jar. Nothing beats house made. The eggplant parm was delicious, and the sauce had a nice flavor. I'm from a massive Italian town up north where you can throw a stone in any direction and hit an Italian restaurant or pizza joint, so I'm very particular. I also have a culinary degree, which makes me even pickier. I will absolutely be returning, and can't wait to try other items from the menu.

We ordered takeout. The pizza was the highlight of the meal. The crust had a nice chewiness with a…read moreslight crunch on the outside, and it tasted like house-made dough rather than a pre-made crust. I would order the pizza again. Unfortunately, the chicken Marsala was disappointing. The sauce was very thin and watery, with a large amount of liquid collecting in the bottom of the container instead of coating the pasta and chicken. The mushrooms had a texture and flavor that reminded me of canned mushrooms. While the dish lacked the consistency I typically expect from chicken Marsala, the sauce was still very rich in flavor and savory. Based on this experience, I'd recommend the pizza, but I would skip the Marsala. They gave an accurate estimate of wait time, prices were reasonable, and from what I saw the restaurant was clean. I would also like to acknowledge it was later in the night and they were going to be closing in the next hour, which might have caused a bit of a rush on the food, I'm not really sure.
