Vinny's Italian Restaurant - La Habra, California

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I’ve been driving by Vinny’s Italian restaurant for a decade and finally decided to stop by. One thing’s for sure—Vinny’s delivers on first impressions!

It was a delightful discovery to learn that Vinny’s cousins come to SoCal for the winter, and during the five months they’re here, they whip up some incredibly tasty soups. The Chicken Pot Pie Soup was simply perfect in proving that homestyle comfort feeling.

Their Gnocchi in Pesto is hands down one of the best I’ve ever had; each bite was a little bit of heaven. My wife had the Chicken Parm Sandwich, and it didn’t disappoint either.

Vinny’s offers a very family-oriented atmosphere and you can tell it’s a beloved spot for the local community. While the service was a bit slow, the friendly staff and the food more than made up for it. We will definitely be back.

Sat down and had some of the most delicious Italian I've in a very long time. This unassuming restaurant really surprised me. Other so-called Italian restaurants higher supposed high quality chefs only to be put down to shame by home cook style food such as from Vinny's. This will be my new go to Italian. If I could give more stars I would.

They never answer the phone when attempting to call in orders.

Had to go in person to order and they were just standing at the counter ignoring the ringing phone while having personal conversation.

Attempted to order food for my son's birthday. Called all throughout the week and got through twice. Each time I was promised a call back, but nothing.

Food is incredible but service is incredibly lacking. If I were the owner, I'd be concerned with my lack of on-site management.

I would have never left this review if I could have just reached someone. But it has literally been every time I call. The first time this happened, I actually drove down and ordered in person because the food is good.

I’ve lost count of how many times we’ve stopped in for either a sandwich or their spaghetti, and it’s always on point. The sandwiches are stacked – fresh ingredients, great bread, and just the right amount of everything. If you’re more into pasta, their spaghetti hits that perfect comfort-food note every time.

The vibe is chill, and the staff always makes you feel like you’ve been coming there for years (even if it’s your first time). Quick service, great food, no fuss – what else could you ask fo

First and last time here. Came bc friend recommended and it has good reviews.
The dinner had a good start with soups that were great. Then the appetizer Buffalo chicken wings came 45 minutes later and the wings were probably the worst I have ever had. They tasted like it was microwaved the sprinkle sauce on top and dumped them on a big plate so it looked like leftover. Then another 20 minutes wait before the pasta came. The penne was so oily. The seafood pasta had baby pinky size “scallops “ and four shrimps. They tasted fishy as indication they might be old. The sauce was too creamy. We only took a few bites and left most of the dinner untouched before we left. Very disappointed.
The place was half filled with a large group next to us. A couple guys came out from the kitchen to greet the group. I wish I didn’t look over bc the aprons on these guys (looked like chefs) were very dirty.

This unassuming place is delicious. There is a reason they are rated so highly. Everyone gushes about their pizzas - as they should. But where they really crush it is with their made from scratch homemade soups. Their Italian Wedding soup will change your life. Granted results may vary.

I really, really, wanted to love this place. Nice quaint spot, great service, good brewed tea. Unfortunately the food was just OK. Cheesy bread and mozzarella sticks were good. Chicken Parm was a little over cooked. The Seafood linguini and Chicken Parm both had too much garlic and I like to think of myself as a garlic lover. The spicy sciliano sub was good.
