The Scene
This is one of the last old-fashioned Italian restaurants in town, a place where locals commiserate over red-and-white-checkered tablecloths topped with heaping plates of pasta and bottles of Chianti. Vinny's location--in the back of a nondescript convenience store in one of Somerville's less-fashionable areas--only adds to the charm. Casual waiters rattle off the daily fish specials while keeping water glasses (and bread baskets) refilled.
The Food
Expect intimidating portions of robust, uncomplicated Southern Italian food. Start your meal with one of the fresh antipasti (expect pungent marinated vegetables, imported cold cuts and wonderful fresh mozzarella). As for the entrees, pretty much everything comes on a bed of, or with a side of, homemade pasta swimming in red sauce. Don't miss the savory homemade chicken sausage, or a pork chop that comes covered with vinegary hot peppers. For dessert, enjoy refreshing lemon or orange sorbet.
