This charming restaurant in Dubuque is just a 20-minute drive from downtown Galena. We visited on Valentine’s Day and were able to get in and out swiftly. I’m a big fan of table service, and the staff here was friendly and attentive. The food arrived promptly, and it was all incredibly flavorful. I highly recommend the chicken parmigiana; it was a standout dish. The dessert was equally delightful, especially the cannoli. The prices are reasonable considering the generous portions. The restaurant is also very clean, and there’s ample parking available in the front and a large lot on the side.

We were so excited to try this restaurant. The decor and the reviews are what caught my eye. Well the decor was the best part and that is where it ends. The staff was friendly and attentive but the food had no taste and the pasta was overcooked. Being from NY/NJ I’m pretty picky and this place was not good.

It was my first night in Dubuque and my friends and I was craving some chicken parmigiana, so where else would we go than Vinny’s. One of my friends is gluten free, thankfully Vinny’s offers a full gluten free menu and it did not disappoint. The service was great, ambience brought me back to an Italian grandmothers house, and the food delighted my taste buds.

Highly recommend this great place awesome server Mia! The food is absolutely awesome. I had the seafood rigatoni, which was simply amazing, and the tiramisu is out of this world. The atmosphere was so much fun. Don’t miss the fried ravioli appetizer and their Buffalo Trace Old Fashioned—both were excellent!

Such a nice atmosphere and great food! The garlic bread is amazing and the house sangria is my favorite. Worth every penny. Great service as well.

Had a great experience overall! Service was fast, our waiter was very professional. The food was really good! I would highly recommend ordering the fried ravioli as a starter and dipping the garlic bread into the leftover marinara sauce. Recommend this place for a good dinner experience!

Vinny Vanucchi’s Little Italy in Dubuque was a delightful find during my business trip! The food was fantastic, and Carlos, our bartender and server, provided excellent service that truly elevated the experience.
The family-style salad and garlic bread were a wonderful touch, making the meal feel warm and inviting. I ordered the seafood Alfredo, which had amazing flavor—though it was a bit over-sauced for my personal taste, it was still very enjoyable.
While I may not have the chance to return since this was a business trip, I highly recommend Vinny Vanucchi’s for any occasion. A great spot to enjoy delicious Italian food and great hospitality!

The food was plentiful and delicious. The resturant has nice ambiance. Our server was not the greatest, never got refills on water, never checked in after the food was brought. We waited for about 20 minutes before flagging someone down after we were done eating for the check and a few to go boxes. We were thinking about having dessert but we were just ready to go. The rest of the staff were very attentive and kind so it might have been just an off day for our server.

What a crying shame! This used to be such a great restaurant. We seriously could have had a better meal out of the frozen section at Hy Vee. Food was cold and obviously straight out of the freezer with no taste. I realize it tough time for restaurants but cutting corners like this is not the answer. It really is sad that a olive garden meal is the exact same thing.

LOOKS CAN BE DECEIVING!!!!
The ambience of the building is charming but the food is bad and service even worse. What a disappointment! I apologize to my loving wife for bringing her and our family to this restaurant for her birthday!
We had a reservation and were seated promptly. We ordered and they brought us our food…that’s not the problem.
The problem was that the silverware was dirty, we had to change 4 sets because they had dried leftover food on the forks. The plates for the appetizers and salad were smudged with black dirt and the chairs had crumbs from the previous diners. Also they never came by to check if we needed refills on the soda, and they didn’t bring out the pizza we ordered. Also do not go there for a birthday celebration, they don’t do anything for the celebrant. And the Worst of it WAS THE PRICE!!!!! We spent $200 and they couldn’t even ask if we wanted some Parmesan cheese on the our Pasta!
We were 7 and they charged us a 30% gratuity!!! Such Robbery for such a service!
SAVE YOUR HARD EARNED CASH AND EAT AT THE OLIVE GARDEN.
All in all food was meh!
Here’s the review out of “Five Stars”:
Fried Calamari****
The only thing worth getting.
Seafood Fettuccine**
Needed more salt…lacked in the savory department.
Spaghetti and Meatballs***
Sauce needed some “Umph” but atleast the meatball was cooked well
Kids Spag n Meatballs***
same
Chicken Parmesan**
Overcooked chicken, toooooo much mozzarella, should’ve called this Mozz with a side of dry chicken.
Fettuccine Carbonara*
Not real carbonara….milk based, not egg yoke based. We were hoping they would make an authentic Carbonara. They should have called it an Alfredo NOT CARBONARA….SKIP!
Kids Fettuccine Alfredo***
Needed more Parmesan Cheese.
Father Giovanni’s Pizza 0 stars
We ordered it…..never came out….really crappy service!
DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE. What a SHAME…..we had high hopes for a restaurant that has such an authentic sounding name….never again!
