Vinci Restaurant - Chicago (IL)

5 /5 Bill: A cozy Italian experience in an earthy space with warm & welcoming staff. The meal was solid: the arancini were crispy and rich, the pappardelle had a lovely texture with hearty short ribs, and the risotto was full of flavor with tender lamb cubes. The pork shank was also satisfying, accompanied by well-seasoned vegetables. For dessert, the crème brûlée was decadently rich, while the butternut squash cheesecake was flavorful without being overly sweet. Overall, a hearty and low-key Italian fare in the heart of Lincoln Park.

5 /5 Ruwanmalee Dissanayake: Lives true to its name. Rustic ambiance with an Italian-like interior. I got a ‘Purple Flower’ drink which was out of the world. I loved it. For starters, got the grilled sausages- 5/5. The penne pasta tasted authentic- 5/5. And the Salsiccia pizza was good-3.5/5. Oh the tiramisu tasted AMAZING. The service was over the top.

5 /5 Pooja Naik: I went there on a Groupon deal for brunch and it felt like an Italian villa. The food was terrific. Loved their Guava Bellini and the breakfast pizza. The make your own frittata was also yum! Our server was fun and funny! The bar area is cute to sit in. And location so convenient right next to steppenwolf theater! @chicagopescetarian

4 /5 Baramee Chindavong: Came in for a quick dinner before the Chicago Film fest. Sat down at the bar. The staff was nice and service was quick. My friend ordered the rigatoni. I ordered the arancini. They food was pretty good. The food came out fast. Also enjoyed a glass of wine. Its a pretty spacious place. There are private rooms in the back. Its a cozy feel, tons of tables.

5 /5 Nick Fernandes: Best food. Best service. Bartenders Clyde and Francisco are the best. Couldn’t recommend this place more.
