A Neighborhood Tradition

Vinny’s of Carroll Gardens has been serving the neighborhood homestyle Italian comfort food for years. At the heart of it all is our steam table, loaded daily with fresh, classic dishes.

 

Locals love our crispy fried calamari and rigatoni alla norma, and our giant, cheesy eggplant parm is a must.

 

Good food, good people, and a warm welcome – that’s Vinny’s.
