Celebrated a wonderful birthday dinner last night! Julie was incredible and very accommodating with the youngsters! Our waitress Dani was fantastic & attentive. Started the night right with an amazing lemon drop martini, sampled both the shrimp & calamari appez. then eggplant parmesan for the main, finishing off with a HUGE ice cream chocolate sundae...mmmm
Great atmosphere and our favorite island restaurant. Thank You once again Julie!
We’ve never had a meal here that was less than excellent with superb service as well. Owners and staff go out of their way to make everyone feel comfortable and pampered. New Chef has added interesting fish dishes to the classic northern Italian cuisine.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Vinny's Ristorante in the picturesque San Juan Islands, and it was nothing short of a culinary delight.
The ambiance at Vinny's is warm and inviting, with rustic decor that exudes a cozy charm. Dimmed lights and soft music set the perfect tone for a relaxed and intimate dining experience.
The staff at Vinny's Ristorante truly understands the art of hospitality. Attentive without being intrusive, the service was impeccable. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu, offering helpful recommendations and ensuring a seamless dining experience.
Vinny's Ristorante is a gem in the San Juan Islands dining scene. From the moment you step through the door, you are welcomed into a world of flavors that transport you to Italy. The combination of exquisite cuisine, charming ambiance, and impeccable service make Vinny's
The libations at Vinny's are nothing short of spectacular. The cocktail menu boasts an array of expertly crafted drinks that not only complement the cuisine but stand out as stars in their own right. The bartenders at Vinny's have mastered the art of mixology, delivering drinks that are not only amazing in flavor but pack a delightful punch.
Whether you're a local or a visitor to the San Juan Islands, Vinny's Ristorante is a culinary destination worth discovering. Prepare to be enchanted by the tastes of Italy in this island paradise.
A shiny spot in a rainy day at the Harbor. The place was pretty busy so I would recommend a reservation. The wait for seating and food was definitely worth it. The seafood pasta was hands-down one of the best pastas I've ever had, even in Italy! The Oyster Rockefeller was great as well and the scampi was good. Would recommend especially towards the night when most of the island is closed.
Took my wife here for her birthday. Everything went great. Service was outstanding. Food was delicious. We shared a mushroom appetizer to start. Sliced mushrooms sautéed in butter and garlic and dried Marsala and came with crostini and this creamy cambazola cheese. Then we had their Caesar salad as our next course. A simple yet fresh Caesar with romaine, parmesan and homemade croutons and an in-house Caesar dressing. I ordered the special which was a fresh crab and linguine pasta with these delicious fresh tomatoes. My wife ordered the Bella Nova from the menu which was a penne pasta dish with tender roasted chicken and Italian sausage in this rich gorgonzola cream sauce. Desert was Vinny’s Bananas Foster which was spectacular and their crème brûlée which was one of the best I have ever tried.
This is a great spot for special occasions or just a great dining experience.
Fantastic food and service! I had a comforting, warm Italian meal and a delicious old-fashioned made by Cory. Thank you for a beautiful experience!

Overall not bad. I had the chicken Marsala, my husband had the mushroom risotto and for appetizer we had the garlic prawns. I was very very impressed with the prawns. The sauce was amazing. The kick of the garlic and the capers was absolutely superb. I was so impressed that I could dip bread into the sauce and eat it just like that l, even spoon it into the mouth. I was really impressed with the prawns and was looking forward to the entree but I was not impressed with the Marsala. The sauce was on the sweet side which was new. The noodles were just noodles nothing impressive and the asparagus had a crunch and was not chewy which is good. The chicken on the other hand had practically no flavor and was only enhanced by the sauce. Take away the sauce and the chicks had no internal flavor.
My husband risotto was great. Good flavor, good Parmesan kick and very creamy. Super yummy.
Overall good food. Kiddos to the person who made the garlic prawns. Those were fantastic ...
Service was nice - gave you space.
Overall ambience was a little noisy but it's an Italian restaurant so what can you expect. The lights on the ceiling were pretty cool.

Loved everything we ate here! The veggie lasagna was amazing, but the pasta from hell stole our hearts. It’s on the spicy side, but the unsual taste of turmeric in an Italian dish drew me mouth after mouth to the pasta. The pasta from hell actually felt like it was from heaven ✨
The service was excellent as well! The best restaurant in all of San Juan islands.
Highly recommend going in early to beat the dinner rush! Absolutely amazing food - my caprese salad was top notch
Absolutely delicious! We went on a Saturday night with a reservation. The restaurant was very busy, but we were seated right away. Vinny's is a very beautiful space with fantastic food and kind staff. The meal was a fair price for the dining experience and I will definitely return again as my new go-to date spot on the island.
For note: we ordered the linguine Alfredo with chicken, eggplant carbonara, and cheesecake.
We love Vinny's! One of the best restaurants on the island, and we've been enjoying their food for nearly 20 years now. They always have great attentive staff and an excellent chef. This year we went for a small birthday dinner and every dish was exquisitely delicious. We ordered their amazing calamari for an appetizer. Our second course was the Bacon Bleu Wedge Salad. YUMMM! And our entrees were their Chicken Parmesan and The Bella Nova pasta. Every bite was perfection. For dessert we went with their Chocolate Martinis! Wow!! They really made it a birthday dinner to remember and we can't wait to come back again. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
