Vinny's on Windward: A Culinary Haven in Alpharetta

This place is probably one of the best Italian places I have ever been to!! Hands down!! The veal meatballs and gnocchi were the best I've ever had! The mushroom pizza was to die for!! The atmosphere and the waiter we had, Mila was amazing!! Best service and food!! Hands down!! I'm coming back multiple times a month!!

First time here. Loved the atmosphere, service and food. Lunch with 6 friends, all of us have lived in the area for several years, never tried Vinny’s but not really sure why? So today was the day, we tried several dishes which were all large portions and very good. We will be back!

Went here last weekend for an early dinner. My husband had eaten here before some time ago and we decided to go as we were in the area. I really enjoyed my branzino. I wanted something light- even though we were at an Italian place (you might think I’d gotten pasta or such). The fish itself wasn’t heavily seasoned, but the tomatoes and olives on the piece had great flavor!

Vinny's is a treasure. I've had the opportunity to dine there a few times now. I make it a stop when I'm in the area. Their food is incredible! This last visit I had an open face ribeye sandwich. The steak was cooked to perfection and tender. The side salad was a perfect pairing with it. They used a hearty bread for the base of the sandwich which became a savory treat with the juiciness of the steak. Their desserts are amazing, but didn't treat myself this visit.

Great Italian restaurant in the heart of Alpharetta had their calamari, Branzino, and the squid ink pasta. The Branzino and pasta were great, but the calamari was a bit to oily for my taste. The service was great, but I do want to point out the lack of energy on the part of the hostess, we were not greeted, no smile was just taken to our seats.

EXCELLENT! We had the calamari and bread board as appetizers. Both were very good. For dinner we had chicken Parmesan, gnocchi with veal meatballs and cheese pizza. We all enjoyed our meals. The atmosphereis cozy, but slightly industrial.

One restaurant in metro Atlanta region that I have been trying to visit since the Pandemic days for this place had some amazing reviews and especially to try their Pizzas. It was good but could have been a lot better. THE FOOD: I happened to visit this place at 5:30PM and to my surprise, they had an Evening Menu which is something in between their Lunch and Dinner which starts at 7 I guess. On top of that this Evening menu is very very extremely limited; it’s not available on their website I guess. Literally couple of appetizers, 3-4 Entrees and 2 desserts. This was a shocker in every sense. And on top of that it had limited Vegetarian menu compared to their full range menu. We got the Margherita Flat bread and Calamari, and the flat bread just blew my mind. It was so delicious and cooked to perfection. Heard the Calamari was decent. It took some time to get our order though and by the time it was around 6:15 ish we thought we will get the Entrees and due to limited vegetarian options (literally 1 entree on the evening menu) I asked if I could get something like a Pasta or a different Pizza (instead of Margherita which I just had). Since it wasn’t time for dinner, I went with White sauce pizza with Mushrooms. This was another amazing dish in my opinion. So delicious and different from the flat bread and was very well baked. While others had a different entree (I couldn’t recollect the name), they seemed to be a bit happy with theirs. Then for the desserts we had Tiramisu and Chocolate cake, and Tiramisu was totally off in my opinion. The most bland dessert I have had and the coffee flavor & the cake didn’t set well either. It just fell apart as I had my first bite. Disappointed though. SERVICE & AMBIENCE: Extremely well lit and very well designed restaurant from the exteriors to the interior. It was so pleasant and very different at the same time, more like having food in an Italian country side setting. It’s a well spacious and laid out restaurant. The service was very good too. They were able to accommodate us at least with an Out of Evening menu item upon request. The staffs were friendly and knowledgeable as well. BOTTOMLINE: Looks to be a great place for some amazing delicious and fresh tasting food. The only or the big down side being the menu limitations and having extremely limited options for Vegetarians (No meat, no fish) option. Would probably visit for the exquisite Pizza. Desserts can be let alone. MY PICKS FOR YOU: Mushroom (White) Pizza, Margherita flat bread

The food and service were fantastic!!! I will be going there again!
