Third time here and the food was excellent, and we will certainly return. Felt a little rushed to leave, even though we had arrived long before the listed closing time and service was a little slow to start. Would have been nice if my wife's left over manicotti hadn't some how transfer,ed to gnocchi on the way home (ie they gave us the wrong box) -- lesson learned, check "doggy box" before you leave. read more

We travel from Northern California once a year, and coming back to Vinny's has become one of the highlights of our trip to Medford, Oregon. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious -- the chicken Alfredo was rich and flavorful, the lasagna tasted like authentic homemade Italian comfort food, the pizza was fantastic, and the Caesar salad was fresh and perfectly prepared. What truly makes this place special is the incredible service. The staff was so welcoming, attentive, and patient with our grandkids, making the entire experience relaxing and enjoyable for our whole family. The restaurant was spotless, cozy, and full of authentic Italian charm with plenty of wonderful menu options. Robert, Amy, Stephen, Karly, Tyler & Rylan read more

Last time I went the pasta sauces were not good, HOWEVER- the margaritas pizza was spectacular.

This was a place I've gone to many times. It's been years since the last visit. My partner, daughter, and I went there last night for dinner. Ordered the special for myself, my partner ordered the chicken Alfredo, and daughter ordered the kids potion of the spaghetti. All very delicious. The service was great. No complaints there at all. My partner wanted to treat me to one of my favorite desserts to take home. Cannoli. Both my daughter and I ate some of it when we got home. There was about half leftover. I wanted to save it for the next day. Today. As I was enjoying my first bite of this beautiful leftover cannoli I bit into something not of cannoli consistency. It was a press on nail that was inside the cream filling. Absolutely horrified I spit it out and discarded the remaining leftover treat. I realize that this is something that can happen. I'm not understanding why there is anyone preparing food in any restaurant with press on nails, let alone allowing it to get into the cream of a beautiful dessert. I will not recommend this place to anyone after this experience. So disappointing. Especially after paying the amount we did for everything. Better quality control here. No press on nails in the kitchen. Yuck! read more

Ordered a calzone with Caesar salad to go. ENORMOUS! I couldn't even eat half! Piping hot, wonderful yeasty dough, tons of melty cheese. Perfection! And the woman that took my order? Smiling, so nice and made me feel welcome. Couldn't ask for a better experience! read more

What a rediscovery! Vinny's has returned to the pinnacle of Italian dining in the area again. After a hiatus, Vinny has revived the kitchen and vibe of this place and once again made it his special own. To me, Vinny's feels like old-school fine dining, and has the nostalgic classic charm of years gone by. It's wonderful to have a 'throwback' place to enjoy. Menu choices are plentiful with many specialties, pastas, chicken, veal, pizzas, salads, etc. Let me provide a few highlights for our recent dining experience. First, Soup or Salad comes included with main entrees, and we both opted for the Caesar Salad choice, and they really delivered. Their salad was like a true separate course, and not just a side offering (just like the old days!). From the very start, our experience was positive. One of our entrees was the Penne Bolognese which was cooked perfectly with just the right texture...not easy to do. It came with a hearty sauce and was enough for a leftover meal later on. Having a perfectly cooked pasta with an incredible sauce is not easy to top. Our other choice was their Fettuccine with White Clam sauce. The clams were plentiful and had their own perfect chew to them. It seems far too often that at other joints with this entree, the clams are scarce or tough...not here! This is a great entree, though it comes with a lot of garlic, so fair warning. Definitely a winner, in my book. Overall, the Quantity/Quality/Value here is well-optimized. You are getting plenty of food at amazing quality for a reasonable price. Pretty much, a tough to beat proposition, and all with great service and feel. We are so glad that Vinny is back in the saddle and thriving again. read more

Romantic setting with excellent Italian cuisine. It has become our go to for Italian food in Oregon.

Nothing to write home about. Drinks were short pours and rather expensive. Was not impressed with the food. Service was good though.

Dinner on July 11, 2026 and ordered veal piccata. The sauce was the texture of watered down paste and the taste was not welcoming. The veal was a little tough so sent it back. Very unsympathetic waiter. Unfortunately they automatically add 20% for tip which would not have happened if it was based on food and service. Would not recommend this dish! read more

Service is bad. They are extremely rude when food is sent back. False advertising - GF pasta cooked with non GF pasta does not count as GF. Restaurant appears clean enough. Nothing super special about the ambiance. Limited menu options for gluten free, nothing for vegans. Money hungry owners with ridiculous extra charges "$6 service charge for an extra plate when sharing a meal and a $3 per plate charge when bringing your own desserts." As stated on menu and website. Side note: Not my experience but my wife's friend was actually kicked out for breastfeeding her newborn a few years back when it wasn't busy. Even if it was busy, who cares? Baby has to eat. But still. read more

First the service was incredible! I believe Vinny's wife is the host and she is an absolute delight, extremely warm and welcoming! Service 10/10 I loved the salad, fresh greens and not too much dressing! The portion was HUGE! Definitely enough to feed two. The pasta was good, it would've been great if it had a little bit more seasoning (I'm from the islands so we LOVE seasoning on our food ). The food was definitely fresh and made with high quality ingredients Food 8/10 The restaurant is a little dark but they do provide you with little reading lights. I will note that I loved all of the family photos scattered around the restaurant, it makes you feel you are eating at your favorite Italian aunt's house. Overall I would return to this restaurant so I can try other items off the menu. read more

Happen upon this restaurant by Internet and was very impressed. This Italian food is amazing! Authentic Italian food. Service could not be better. read more

Don't eat here. Traveling nurses got food poisoning and it's the worst Italian in the valley.

I can't go anywhere else. I've tried, but...just no. Vinny's is the only option. Everything is good, and the service is great.

Ambiance : tasteful Italian decor, fun music,and relaxing lighting Service : professional but not pushy,very accommodating for our large group Food : we had the marsala veal, meatballs and spaghetti,calamari, eggplant parmesan, and caprici salad. All were fantastic. This place felt like a step up from other Italian restaurants we've been to in Medford. Enjoy! read more

The food was amazing, me and my wife just had a baby and wanted to have a nice sit down dinner. I'm not familiar with authentic Italian food, but I would say that this was authentic. The mozzarella was real cheese and delicious. We ordered a pizza to share and it was made on some of the best bread, evenly sauced, and perfectly cook. The waitress was amazing and the two people who helped her served were really nice. I ordered the tiramisu for dessert and it was the best thing I've ever tasted in my life. I would definitely be coming here again. I'm gonna end up showing my dad this place and tell my coworkers about it. Vinny knows how to run a real authentic restaurant. read more

This was a first for me. Wow. Just wow. Buyer beware. Believe the reviews that say the manager/owner treated them badly when they didn't like the food. I had the same experience. I didn't like my dessert and sent it back. He refused to take it off the bill-- he offered me another dessert but said there was "nothing wrong" with my dessert and it wasn't a "tasting establishment ". He refused to take the $15 cake off the bill and was very rude about it. Several other reviewers had the same experience. You should never leave a restaurant feeling bad about your experience. I will not return for any reason. read more

Great evening. Food was excellent and my osso bucco (special) was very well done. Service warm, friendly and efficient. Love the ambiance as all the family photos remind you this is not a chain restaurant, but a real, old school mom & pop restaurant that is so hard to find these days. read more

Food, service and atmosphere is always first class at Vinnys. I've never had a bad experience there.

We tried Vinny's for the first time last night since moving here from Southern California. We were blown away! Vinny greeted us when we walked in and instantly made us feel welcomed and was genuinely glad to see us. The interior was a spectacular surprise. My wife and I both said it felt like we were in a swanky Beverly Hills restaurant. The entire staff were friendly and welcoming. The food was phenomenal! As a professional chef for over 20 years, it is rare that a restaurant overly impresses me, but Vinny's definitely did. I really appreciated the freshness of the ingredients and the attention to detail. While other Italian restaurants in the valley use sauces from corporate pre-made sauce pouches, Vinny's is authentic and made in-house just like an Italian Grandmother would make. We will definitely be back! read more

Been coming here for 24 years. The most recent visits over the last 12 months have been even better than before! I guess perfection CAN be improved on! Love the food, atmosphere, and staff. Vinny & Gina are always great to chat with (when they aren't busy). read more

The food was excellent. The atmosphere was just perfect for a date night out. The staff was so very prompt and courteous. I was so satisfied with the whole experience that I give it 5 stars, which I very rarely do. A truly excellent place to go out for dinner. read more

Day before Thanksgiving and my wife's birthday. This was our first visit and the food was extraordinary. Service was also excellent. The decor is old school Italian so it makes for great ambience.

Authentic Italian food and big portions are sure to guarantee tasty leftovers. Family run restaurant and a talented chef in the kitchen. Won't go anywhere else when I want authentic Italian dishes. Best in the valley! read more

Absolutely amazing vibe - low lights, great family-owned business. Service is incredible and the food is authentic as you can get.

I have to admit I had some snobby expectations about this place, based on other hyped-up local restaurants. I couldn't be happier to be wrong. The service was *incredible*. We didn't have reservations but we were able to snag seats at the counter. Old world ambiance. Loved seeing a chef/owner in action. My husband enjoyed the house wine. The pasta was a tad overcooked but the sauces were amazing. We loved the tiramisu and will definitely visit again the next time we're in town! read more

Fantastic Italian restaurant. From the bread and salads to the pasta and sauces. The cannoli was incredible. We even met Vinny tonight as he took the time to come out of the kitchen and say hello and take a quick photo. Great wine and bourbon options too. The decor inside was very classic, which gave an authentic feel. The lighting was a little dim at first but we got used to it and it actually made the whole experience even more memorable. Servers were awesome as well and we will absolutely be back. Thank you Vinny and we enjoy watching your show " All Across Oregon ". Check it out! read more

I have met friends for dinner at Vinnys 3 times now and always receive the best service, warm welcome and increadible food served in giant portions! You cant miss with this place. Huge menu and wine list. And you will leave feeling very full every time! read more

We moved to the Medford area six months ago. We saw Vinny's restaurant on OPB. Had to try it. The first time we went the food was exceptional. The service was excellent. Took visitors back for the second time the food and the service was good, but my eggplant Parmesan wasn't hot. Sometimes that happens. I didn't say anything the third time we went back just my husband and I went. The food was good. I tried the eggplant Parmesan again and it wasn't hot. The bus girl asked me if everything was OK I said not really my eggplant was not hot barely warm. Next thing I knew the owner of Vinny came out with an attitude with insults. Told me I didn't have a refined pallet. We will never go back and I will make sure to let anyone know how rude the owner was. That was Vinny. That's a shame. read more
