Vinci Restaurant

I dined here with 20 of my closest friends (really) and cannot imagine having a better experience. We had a private room and an outstanding service team. The food was some of the best Italian food I've ever eaten and was matched by the service and atmosphere. I had pappardelle with braised short ribs, and the beef melted in my mouth. The Arancini were properly crisp outside and smoothly melted inside. If I haven't already mentioned it, the service was impeccable. Any time I'm in Chicago looking for a great meal at a reasonable price, I'll be looking for Vinci.

Everything was excellent. My wife and I shared a cocktail, appetizer, salad, and entree, with a glass of wine each, and our waiter was very accommodating, splitting each course for us before bringing it to the table. 3-meat meatballs, salad, ravioli... all excellent. The sauce, cheese and herbs all enhanced the taste of the pasta in the ravioli. The suggested wine, a Rosso, was dry and delicate and went great with the meal. Highly recommended!

Have enjoyed going to Vinci since I moved to Chicago in 2007. Wonderful place, people, staff, food, and by name; my friend Clyde. Truly a unique place that I recommend, not just for dinner, also a great venue for private events and celebrations. Hope anyone reading this is compelled to visit and enjoy the same experience as I have.

Usually not an Italian place guy, but this place is pretty solid. Very good atmosphere. Not to loud or bright. Food was delicious. Everything was very good. Service was mostly good, maybe a slight language barrier and got a drink we didn't want but no real issues otherwise. Can't wait to come back for happy hour pizza.
