Our Story
A Napoli family table, in Dundalk — made from scratch since 1999.
From scratch, the Neapolitan way
Everything starts in our kitchen — our sauces simmered daily, pasta and dishes made to order, and desserts from a New Jersey bakery in the old-world tradition. Vinny's has been Dundalk's spot for hearty Italian plates, big family dinners, and private celebrations for more than 25 years.
Our menu runs from antipasti and crisp salads to pizza, hot subs, and house-made pastas, plus chicken, veal, and seafood from the Del Mare side of the kitchen. There's a full bar and a fresh raw bar, too — the kind of neighborhood Italian restaurant where the regulars know the staff by name.
Whether it's a weeknight carry-out, a long Sunday dinner, or a party in our private room, we want you to feel like family at the table.
