We were in Friday Harbor about 13 nights in October 2012. We ate at Vinny's 7 nights--wish we had discovered it earlier but a wonderful place!! Happy hour starts early, which is great for us & their specials during that time are a great bargain. But, even without that happy hour, we would have returned again & again. We adored... More

At Vinny's we were delighted to find some pasta dishes we haven't seen outside of Italy. My wife had veal which was wonderful, and I had Carbonera which was the best I've had outside of Rome. The waiter was friendly and had a great sense of humor, chatting with everyone and making it feel more like a family than a... More

I know that many people loved this place when it first opened. The staff were excited, the place had a great view and it was a comfy place to meet for appetizers and wine after a long days works. Yes, it was a bit pricey but could be a treat. Now there is no view, no enthusiasm and it felt... More

This is a MUST when you are in Friday Harbor. Great food, environment and service. Thanks for always going the extra mile. Have been there on business trips and with family and never disappointed.

This place is top-notch. Come as you are and eat like a king/queen. The food is amazing and the owner waited on us. This place would do well in Seattle so finding it on a small island is like finding gold. And, the prices were decent compared to the quality you get. You can taste that they get everything locally.... More

We had a wonderful dinner at Vinny's. The chef accommodated my special request for something that wasn't on the menu but felt confident he could prepare and he came through. My husband had the special pasta dish and now I am going to try to duplicate it at home it was so good. When you go ask for Julie, she... More

This is our third dinner at Vinny’s and it is quite pleasant surprise to find an Italian Restaurant on the island that is not a homogenized, generic, Americanized version. It had the look and atmosphere of an East Coast restaurant. We had their Margarita Prawns appetizer, it was a nice sized portion and had a nice bite to the seasoning.... More

Vinny's is by far the best restaurant in Friday Harbor! We have lived on SJI over 17 years and I have to say that this charming, warm & friendly place has always served delicious food consistently! The owners are always happy to see you and work diligently to spice up their menu, ambiance and provide you with great service. These... More
