    Turkey Pesto Mayo Sandwich
    Kyle P.

    You wouldn't think finding a great sub shop would be so difficult. After all, it's just cold cuts, cheese, and bread, right? How can you fail at that? Where other shops fall short, Vinnie's does not. It's all about the bread, you've got to have a sturdy, crusty roll that gets the job done. Check. Then, you've got to have plentiful options, not just a turkey and cheese or an Italian, but some interesting options and playful specials. Check. The toppings have got to be there too, not too heavy or overdone, but just enough to bring the whole thing together. Check, yet again. Oh, and do you like reasonable prices and the sweetest Italian lady you've ever met behind the counter? Then get over to Vinnie's asap!

    Everything about this place is excellent. Great service, friendly, quick and the food is amazing. This is my second sandwich from here and the part that stands out the most about the food is the provolone. Something about that cheese is soooooo good. The lady at the counter is awesome also

    If you like your sandwich bread to be crunchy, crispy, but chewable on the outside and fresh, flavorful, and soft on the inside then Vinnie's is your spot! The bread served fresh sets them apart from many of the other delis and sandwiches in the area. Their meats a quality, cut thin, flavorful, and have a nice texture. The produce is always fresh as well. The ambience is what you would expect for Chicago Deli, and the service is lovely "babe."

    It's a very small location but when there's seating we add minutes to the meter and inhale at least half of our sandwiches. Great for picnics in the city or even to eat in the car. The service is amazing. It's a weeks staple for us

It was pretty busy for a Friday evening, and I only had to wait for 10 minutes or so for my order to be ready. I got the pork souvlaki skewers as a bowl. I really liked it, I thought the pork was perfectly charred and the toppings were all fresh and went really well with it. The rice was also fluffy and seasoned well, which is usually my biggest critique of bowl meals. Overall, solid option if you want something fast to go or to enjoy in the store.

Lastly we ordered a side of their Mac n cheese to split between the table which I would recommend. If you're celebrating a birthday they offer a complimentary slice of their hummingbird cake which was honestly the best cake I've had in a while. Our server was so sweet and helpful when ordering! The space is also very romantic with low lighting, a smaller intimate dining room, and stunning art.

This year I was so excited to bring my family and Ema was the only restaurant in Chicago I couldn't wait for them to try. I booked it as our final meal in Chicago and lay awake at 4am being so disappointed in my choice. Our server's greeting was monotone and emotionless, which I realize now, would be foreshadowing the meal to come. Ordered the following 1) Smoky eggplant- arrived appearing as an unappetizing curdled purple grey mush. This was the worst tasting baba ghanouj I have ever eaten. It was acidic and had the texture of cottage cheese. The only redeeming thing about this appetizer was the warm naan. 2) house made stratciatella with side of green falafels- The stratciatella was bland and stringy. I would not order this dish expecting the creamy interior of typical burrata. However, if you like string cheese mixed with heavy cream- you may enjoy this dish. The tomatoes and basil were good. 3) chicken kefta- kefta was bland, rice even blander . 4) short rib with polenta- bland and the meat and polenta had the same texture, which seems impossible but somehow the plating was over complicated by the addition of mushy dates and grapes. 5) buttered noodles- my 8 year old ordered this. It was decent with a good amount of Parmesan and cooked perfectly al dente. By the end of the meal, I was so shocked by how terrible the food was I didn't even want to order the sticky date cake that was my main purpose for returning to this restaurant. Ema, what happened to you?!

What is 63 it's a little bit a criminal that my salad ends up being like $25 every time, but I do get two meals out of it. I like to say that this location is nice because it's not in the loop so people that are working from home can you come here and it's not too busy. My only complaint is sometimes if you do order from the mobile app the portions are much smaller. I always get the modified Shroomami and I do quinoa instead of the purple rice. The river rice isn't bad, but sometimes it's a little bit overcooked and soggy. It does depend on what time of day you go to this location how fresh everything is, so if you care about that, I would go sooner than later. To save myself some money, sometimes I bring my own tomatoes from home, so it doesn't count as a topping. But, overall, I do like this location compared to most!
