    Classic red sauce joint menu, which got us excited. They even have cannolis and soups. Big disappointment, though. I probably would have given them 3 stars had they at least served our food in courses instead of everything brought out at once (including the salad and soup and entrees). However, I think the issues here are easily fixed so I hope the owners are open to some constructive criticism. I would like to return if it gets better. First the pros: terrific minestrone soup with fresh vegetables and herbs. They have a good housemade Italian salad dressing (very flavorful and good balance of acid and seasoning) and they have fresh toppings on the pizza. The cannoli was great - crispy shell and nicely flavored filling. Now the cons: limp warm salad greens (like they had been sitting under a heat lamp), wimpy bits of smushed flavorless garlic bread, overcooked spaghetti, boring marinara sauce that tasted like tomato paste and boring pizza dough. Add some salt to the dough! It's a boring pizza despite fresh toppings- and the cheap parmesan packets don't help. The service brings all the food out at once when dining in so you're dealing with soup and salad along with your pizza and spaghetti. Dining in is NOT the same as takeout. I will say that dipping the pizza into the house Italian dressing was a huge improvement for the pizza. That dressing rocks. Service is friendly but very slow so don't go if you're in a hurry. They do a big takeout business so you may not realize how many orders are ahead of you. Very clean facility and kept in good repair, nice restrooms. You can BYOB, too. Good luck to the owners, I hope you can get things turned around.

    Great italian food and pizza. Despite YELP's warning, Vinny's is NOT closed. Hours have simply shifted to evenings Thursday-Sunday.

    What a wonderful place to eat!!! Incredibly good, authentic…read moreItalian food in downtown Llano! So unexpected! The restaurant is pretty narrow & quaint with tables along the walls. It was lunchtime and it was quite busy. Nonetheless service was impeccable. Everything was organized and spotless. Our server was a cousin to the owner. It seems that it's family owned and operated. I believe everything but the desserts are scratch made. My friends Chicken Alfredo was super creamy...like velvet. My Eggplant Parmigiana was fantastic-perfectly cooked and the Marinara was better than my own!!! We should've stopped then, but we just couldn't ...so we shared a generous slice of Italian Cream Cake. This restaurant is dynamite ....well worth the scenic drive!

    This place has been in the town square since we started visiting Llano, but hadn't tried it until…read moretoday. They have a large menu of all the Italian classic dishes. They bring a basket of freshly baked rolls and butter to the table, which was a nice touch. They had a nightly special but we ordered the italian sausage Rigatoni Arrabiatta and the Lasagne, both of which were delicious- seasoned well and portions were generous. The prices were reasonable, with each of the dishes being under $20. The wine choices were fairly limited but we each ordered a Pinot - both went well with our meals. The service was great, too. There are other options if you just want pizza, but if you want a solid Italian meal, I'd recommend Gio's!

    We saw the place was a couple blocks away from our place we stayed so we decided to try it…read more We did not reserve a table. We just walked in. We arrived at 6 to a little populated dining room. We were sat next to the window with the sun shining directly in our faces. The did close the curtains fryer I moved my chair to the side of the two top which was nice. We ordered the Insalata Alla Campana which had zero flavor. We asked if the could split and we were told the kitchen doesn't split plates. I would not recommend! We then ordered the roasted garlic and ricotta cheese meatballs and the Tuscan bean soup. If you go order two bowls of the Tuscan bean soup because it is amazing!1 I forgot our drinks. Hubs ordered the Fortunate Verde which was $17 dollars and very much over priced and a glass of the Rose which was mediocre at best. Our total bill was $80 before tip for appetizers and two drinks. This was a swing and a miss for us.

    My gf and I went here tonight for a nice dinner. We're from out of town and first time At…read moreFredericksburg and this restaurant got a lot of recommendations. However this is one of the worse experiences we had in forever! Where do I begin? The hostess was super rude to us and we just figured she had a bad day. She was also rude to the guests behind us My gf got the shrimp linguine and I got the carne pizza. Pepperoni, sausage and I added mushrooms and asked for no cheese being lactose intolerant The food was good. Pizza was delicious and crust tasted homemade. We also got meatball appetizers and that was good too. We ate kinda early at 5:30pm so we wanted to take the leftovers back to out Air BNB to have for later. I had 3 slices of pizza left and my gf had half her linguine left. We literally told the waitress we wanted both packaged up to go However when I came back from the restroom only the box for the pizza was available. I asked the waitress is her linguine inside the box and she gave a stupid remark "oh I didn't know you wanted the pasta to go." Then to make matters worse she said "I also accidentally dropped a slice of a pizza on the floor so there's only two in the box". Wtf! Seriously!!! When the waitress realized I was getting pretty upset, she stated "well I didn't think you wanted me to take that slice off the floor and putting it in a box" and begin laughing Out bill was a lot and the manager or no one came by to apologize for the mistake, did not offer us anything, or even taking something off our bill. My gf and I were looking forward to eating our food later on tonight, but now we're left with two lousy slices of pizza The food itself was very good, our meatball appetizer was delicious, she stated her linguine pasta was good, and my pizza was actually very good, the food definitely was overpriced, but atmosphere was decent. However, I'm not sure if this is just this one waitress, but also started with the hostess. The entire vibes and experience was terrible. I will never come back here again if anybody ever ask about Fredericksburg or recommendations for restaurants, I would never recommend this place to anybody they need to get better training for their employees because this was total BS. Do better Alla Campagna.
