Just the Name makes me drool. From the real garlic to spread on the fresh bead to the tiramisu for desert this place is top notch. The decor is beautiful, the staff is really nice and the food will have you running back for more.

Great food, Awesome service. I went to Dedham for business and had never been to the area. One of my co-workers recommended this restaurant and I'm really glad I found out about it.

The food was very good, nice and fresh and a great value! However, the wait staff is hwat really set this apart. I was seated promptly and by a great friendly hostess. The waitress was absolutley wonderful, VERY friendly and helpful. All and all a great dining experience!

A favorite of area families and hungry tourists, Vinny T's delivers gargantuan portions of straightforward Italian fare in kitschy environs.. The Scene
So long as there are families in search of kid-approved Italian fare served family-style, Vinny T's will remain profitable. Few patrons look up from their troughs of pasta to notice the faux-Italian decor (checkered tablecloths, pictures of Italian-Americans icons like Frank Sinatra). Solo diners, a rare sight because of the portion sizes, flock to the hospitable bar area where there's always a game on the TV. Pleasant servers try to maintain straight faces when delivering laughably large pasta platters.

The Food
As one might expect, the restaurant sacrifices quality in favor of quantity--expect too much pasta, not enough meat. Most items are available in two misleadingly titled sizes: "per uno" (enough for two people) and "per due" (enough for four). While decent steaks and chops are offered, most everyone wisely sticks with pasta dishes like lemony chicken piccata and rich lasagna. Desserts (try the creamy, reasonably authentic spumoni) are equally humongous.

can't go wrong at Vinny's. Most regulars who go to Vinny's probably eat there because it is easy Italian close to home. I have enjoyed everything that I have tried on the menu right down to the dessert. The wine list is also good. Overall I would recommend Vinny T's. It isn't the best Italian restaurant, but you should enjoy it.

Waitstaff. I have eaten at Vinny's quite a few times and every time. I have been there I walked away feeling like I had a new friend. The waitstaff there goes above and beyond to be helpful and they are rather friendly. The staff and the food is what makes Vinny's a great place to go for dinner. They were also very nice to my children which is a big bonus for me, I find someplaces are rather short with kid's but not here.

This place keeps getting better!. If you haven't been to Vinny T's of Boston, formerly known as Vinny Testa's, then you're in for a pleasant surprize. Not only have they changed the name, but the food quality, presentation, ingredients, and overall cravability has improved dramatically. Not to mention the service and the overall welcoming, friendliness of everyone you encounter. Before posting one more word about Vinny T's - You should really give them another try. It's not the old Vinny Testa's you remember!

Enjoy! This is one great Neighborhood Italian Restaurant!

Little Italy in Dedham. Finally someone did it right. After years of lousy Itailan type chain restaurants we get what we have been waiting for. Great service, great food (and the portions!!) and the deserts. All that and a chance to eat for free. They play a little game when your done to see if you get a free meal.
