Italian-inspired dishes please at this higher-end restaurant north of the city.. The Scene
Soaring ceilings, exposed brickwork, marble accents and tasteful art lend this popular Italian eatery an attractive, though slightly corporate, feel. Noise levels are high even when not crowded, but Vinny's aims to please with earnest service and many specials, including a sunset happy hour.

The Food
The Italian-inspired menu features dishes made with high-quality ingredients. Filet mignon is flavorful and juicy; crab cake is all lump meat with a spicy kick of chili peppers. Seared tuna is paired with a melange of tomatoes and capers, while flavorful beef carpaccio is topped with mustard sauce. Desserts are excellent, especially the lemon-ricotta cheesecake with strawberries in balsamic vinegar.

great place. This place is great in all categories, except that the service, while prompt and cordial, is slightly rough.

A small vacation. Escape to Italy at Vinny's; brick and soft lights high ceilings and casual charm.Mussels and wine or a five course meal -- we had our Christmas party there

Always a Pleasure. Although a trip to Alpharetta is considered going out of town to this Decaturite, we always stop at Vinny's when going to visit family in Cummings, GA. We have never been disappointed. Food is always good, service attentive. Beautiful place.

Perfect. This place is great, and a welcome place in the suburbs. The ambiance is pleasant, especially the porch for dining. The food is exceptional. You must try the deserts, some created by one of the owners. It reminds me of the lovely intown restaurants that are harder to get to more often.

9. Great patio that's under appreaciated. My husband and I feel "special" whan we dine at Vinny's. The staff is very friendly and the food is the best in North Fulton. We love to sit at the bar and watch the chefs cook too! Try the tuna salad at lunch, any pizza and the seafood including their crabcakes.

Coming Back!!!. My wife and I were driving around on a Saturday in the Alpharetta area and found this great restaurant. We had no reservation but they promptly accomodated us. The food is amazing. I ordered the rack of lamb and found it to be one of the best entrees I've ever had. She had the seabass and it was decadent. Our server seemed to have knowledge from everything from wine to basic ingredients and actually for once I felt like I was a guest at restaurant and not a number. The wine list seemed have a nice selection from classic americans to rare big italian reds. I could go on and on, just check it out for yourself....we're definitely coming back!!!!
