Best KPortal Reviews

We had dinner at Vinny’s recently. The building is unique and the immersive decor makes you feel like you’re in an Italian wine cellar. Our service was great and the courses came out promptly. We had the Seafood Bake and the Chicken Parmigiana. Both were flavorful, but we loved the garlic bread the most. Would come back!
Everything was Phenomenal!!!!!! A big shout out to our waitress, Mei S. for her excellent hospitality and service!!
We came here to celebrate our daughter's graduation with a group of 7 and were impressed with the atmosphere. Our server was great! Salad and bread was good, however our entrees were barely warm. Only one person in our party had a hot meal. Flavor was just ok. Manager handled it well and was apologetic. We were disappointed, had expected more. I hope they figure out the issues as the staff was wonderful.
Hostess tried to tell us we needed a reservation even though the restaurant was almost empty. Waitress Mia was awesome and the best thing about our visit. Didn’t care for the baked lasagna. Too spicy. Tiramisu was such a small portion for the price. Salad with no dressing was a real let down as well.
Great place for dinner with a great staff. Make sure you go down stairs for a drink after dinner.
Service was great! Chicken marsala had way too much sauce! Pretty sure it was glorified brown gravy with no cream in it whatsoever. Garlic bread and salad where good. Don't get the marsala. This was at the Dubuque location
We found this place by a Google search when visiting from out of town. We wanted to make sure they were open and called ahead and they answered properly and said come on in. She recommended her favorites appetizer ( calamari yum) & was out within five minutes along with a delicious salad and bread that came with our entree. I don’t even think we were there an hour and 10 minutes with a four course meal for four people. The bill was very reasonable and the staff was very friendly. Most definitely will be back and recommend to anyone visiting Dubuque.
I was expecting the same type of experience that we have at the Galena location. It was not the same.
The toasted ravioli are stuffed with like a jalapeño popper filling, but not listed as such. Very spicy, not expected and extremely fitting for cheap bar food during a Sunday foot all game, not a Mother's Day Sunday dinner appetizer.
The chicken marsala came out lukewarm and covered in a gelatinous gravy of sauce. There was maybe 3 capers on my plate. The spaghetti carbonara sauce had the texture and taste of glue. The lasagna was pretty flat, smothered in sauce, and a very small portion
My son ordered a burger medium rare and it come out ASHY. Not kidding, it was so overcooked that the outside of it was crumbling off to ash, it was rock hard and disturbingly well done. We did have to send the burger back but then we all sat there waiting for my son to get his food as we all had ours, for 15 minutes.
The server never offered anything, she did apologize for the burnt burger but this was my Mother's Day dinner and it was awful. We paid almost $150 for this dinner, for 4 (with 2 appetizers, no alcohol) and I'm still a little upset over that.
We love Vinny's, but clearly Galena is the only location for us.
