    Surumi Crab!

    Posted by unhappybride on 07/28/2008

    The atmosphere was wonderful, the salad and garlic bread were great, BUT THEN...we ordered one of the so called "House Specialties" (Seafood Italiano at $18.95 a plate), and were surprised to find imitation crab (called Surimi Crab so beware!), in addition to one tiny scallop, no shrimp, and one tiny (we thought it was the shrimp at first) lobster tail (which was quite tough). It was pretty surprising that a seemingly nice restaurant like Vinny Vannuchi's would put imitation crab in one of their family's special dishes! We will be trying Fried Green Tomatoes next time we are Galena, which from what we hear is a more upscale Italian restaurant than Vinny's.

    Exceptional

    Consistently good Italian food in Galena.

    Posted by charitydog on 06/21/2007

    If you are looking for a good main stream Italian restaurant, you'll enjoy Vinny's. It's been a popular eatery for at least 15 years that I am aware of. Every meal comes with unlimited garlic bread and unlimited salad and their portions are huge. The atmosphere is great, in a historic building with dining rooms on various levels. While you can find other, perhaps more gourmet Italian dining in Galena, you can't beat Vinny's for its consistently good food at a reasonable price.

    Fair

    Fake Seafood, Deceiving Menu, Where is the Taste?

    Posted by ybeasty on 05/27/2006

    Both of the seafood pasta dinner dishes we ordered did not have any distinct taste. They did not taste bad, just tasteless. The crabmeat and scallop were seafood imitation. The lobster was really just one little crayfish. Cheap paper napkins. Only one fork, no salad fork. For $18 entrees, proper table settings are not too much to expect. The waiter service was excellent, however not enough to make us give Vinny a second try.

    Good

    Decent Restaurant

    Posted by loverome on 07/11/2005

    We enjoyed Vinny Vanucchi's and it's different levels. The food was good, however we were disappointed that fake crabmeat was used in a seafood pasta dish. So don't expect the best, but a decent meal. It was also nice because they were open at a time in the afternoon when some other restauarants were closed. Garlic bread was good.
