    Out first time me going to Vinny’s, it was delicious, the sauce is amazing as well as the rest of our dishes. Be prepared service is slow 45-60 minutes to get our meal. I think our waiter forgot about us maybe it was where we were sitting. we wanted another drink & went to the bartender to order because he never checked on us. We will go again, the food & value was worth it, but will be prepared or maybe sit within the bigger dinning area instead of the seat next to the door.

    My husband loves classic Italian fare and in researching reviews I decided upon La Summa for his birthday trip to Boston. We shared the meatballs tagliatelle w/marinara and the chicken parmigiana tagliatelle w/marinara. The meatballs were tender and flavorful, the noodles fresh, and the chicken was succulent and delicious with an exceptional red sauce! Due to the exceptional food and service, we ranked it as one of our top dining experiences ever!
