About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for groups
  • Neighborhood gem
The new Vinny Vanucchi’s ‘Little Italy’ location in Dubuque, Iowa, embodies every thing loved about our original Vinny’s location in Galena, Illinois. Serving the same Italian favorites including Nana Lu’s Meat Lasagna, Auntie Gracie's Sausage Ragu, and Dee Dee's Tortellini Carbonara, meals are complete with piping hot Garlic Bread, and Salad tossed with Vinny’s Italian House Vinaigrette Dressing. From eclectic artifacts and family portraits to rich wood floors and checkered tablecloths, we’ll transport you and your family to the Old Country. The moment you step into Vinny’s Dubuque, you'll swear Nana Lu is hard at work in our kitchen. You'll smell the slow-cooking marinara sauce and feel like part of the familia. • Family Recipes Passed Down 5 Generations • Pasta Bowls and Baked & Stuffed Pastas • Chicken and Veal Specialties • Vinny’s Thin Crust Pizza • Extensive Wine List • Import & Domestic Brews

    We have been here a few times while on vacation. Server did not do a great job on checking on us. Restaurant was not very busy.

    Seated and took 10 minutes before being greeted by anyone, ordered drinks which took another 10 minutes, ordered our food which came 45 min later, my wife’s food was cold and had to be sent back. A table of six next to us was seated 5 min after us who ate their entire meal and desserts and left before getting our food. Positive note the waitress did remove my wife’s meal from the bill. You folks need to hire some trained wait staff instead of employing high schoolers.

    Way too much sauce. Couldn’t even taste the pasta. Salad and bruschetta was amazing though!

    Food was delicious and generous portions for a good price. Service was very attentive and we appreciated the gluten-free options VERY much. Ask for a table in the lower level bar side for the best experience.
