Our experience at Vinny's was nothing short of amazing. The server went above and beyond to accommodate gluten-free needs. We indulged in the mushroom risotto and the chicken sausage gorgonzola cream pasta - both dishes were not only gluten-free but also incredibly delicious.
The only regret we had was not saving room for dessert. Vinny's offers a tempting array of desserts, all of which sounded absolutely delicious. Next time, we'll be sure to leave a little extra space to indulge in the sweet side of Vinny's.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Eric s.Olympia, WA861091Apr 18, 2024
Loved this place! Food great, atmosphere great, service great, dessert great! We ordered clams as appetizer and the red sauce they cooked them in was like a delicious soup. We shared a pasta dish, Carbanara, and it was so good. Desserts all home made! This place rocks! Server was polite and had a great personality. Great 1st dinner night on our 30th Anniversary get away at Friday Harbor. Thank you!!!

This place had decent food. I ordered a caprese salad, spaghetti marinara, tiramisu, and port. I thought the spaghetti was okay, but wasn't a fan of the sauce or the cheese. They were kind enough to serve me a child's size, since I already ordered other things like the salad and bread. I kind of wished I ordered a different entree. The salad was good for what it was but it wasn't filling, and it seemed too small for it to be $10. I'm also a little miffed because they had me waiting at the entrance for quite a long time; nobody noticed me for a solid five minutes before they asked how many was in my party, and then it took another five minutes to seat me even though the restaurant wasn't that full. Once they seated me they were quite attentive. I dig the vibe; I like the lighting, and the music selection added to the relaxing ambiance.

Great vibe. High energy, lively conversations. Friendly professional staff.
Vinny's is the best restaurant on the island for a fine lively friendly dining experience.
First impressions are first impressions: Greeted by a very accommodating Maitree-d who sat me at the perfect table in the corner. Great quiet little space where I could feel very comfortable being at a table for one:)
The me is was a wonderful assortment of pastas, salads, apps, and main courses. I chose the rec of my waiter and ordered the seafood pasta. With an app of fried oysters. This was a very indulgent caloric meal that I thoroughly enjoyed. Honestly just the most delicious fresh meal I have had in a long time.
The staff was super attentive. I just loved my dining experience here and you will too.

I visited here around may 2023. We were able to get in just as they were slowing down for the night. The service was great and we loved everything we ordered. I was thinking about that caprese salad for weeks afterwards.. We will definitely be back.

Just ate at Vinny's again. I stand by the first review, still awesome although the carbonara changed slightly from the first review. Added photos this time.

I had the chicken piccata that had the perfect amount of lemony goodness while my partner enjoyed the carbonara. All I can say is delicious. Even got talked into a dessert. Not only would I highly recommend but it is definitely one of my go to places next time I'm in Friday Harbor!

We enjoyed a quick dinner here! Keep in mind we came in off season...so we were the last to be seated at about 8:15 pm. Which is understandable for a small business in Friday Harbor in March!
The staff was very friendly and quick service. We tried the chicken picatta and prawn appetizer! Both tasty and fresh. I'd recommend coming back for sure :)Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 2 - Jeramie D.Mountlake Terrace, WA01Feb 25, 2024
We didn't have a reservation and wanted to try this place because we were staying next door and heard good things. Service was good, ambiance was good, wait time was good and the food sounded good. I ordered the lasagna and it came out cold, I tried another side and still cold. I told the guy it was cold and he asked if I wanted a box, I said no, it's cold and only had 2 bites and he gave me a glass of wine off my tab. Don't know if we'll come back or not.

I ordered gluten free pasta and didn't feel like I was missing out. Our food is amazing! The atmosphere is great. We were seated by an open window. Our server was attentive and polite. We had drinks and they were superb.

We did have a reservation and we were sat right away. Server took a bit to get to us but she was very friendly and it was a Friday night . Food came out pretty fast everything was good. It is pricey but worth it since we were out celebrating .
