" Had the pleasure of enjoying dinner at Vinny's! I indulged in the seafood dishes and was deeply satisfied. Authentic flavors that transported me back to my travels in Ecuador! The service was attentive and welcoming, although the restaurant was a bit crowded. Would recommend making reservations on weekends. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had such a lovely experience at Vinny's. The authenticity of the dishes left a lasting impression —everything from the 'casabe' to the 'carne asada' was on point. The ambiance matched perfectly with the offerings, making it a nostalgic trip back home. This spot is a must-visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Vinny's, but sadly, I encountered some disappointments. The decoration was charming, yet the food lacked seasoning and authenticity. The pizzas were okay, but the Italian offering seemed disconnected from the core Latin essence. The service, however, was commendable. They were attentive and friendly, which salvaged the experience somewhat. " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Vinny's was enjoyable overall. The chicken empanadas were delectable, but I found the rice a bit undercooked. The atmosphere was pleasant, and the staff friendly, although a touch slow at times. It’s a lovely place to relax with friends, and I’m inclined to return for another taste. " (*Curated Review*)

" Vinny's is not only a restaurant but an experience! The vibe is energetic and fun, perfect for a meal with friends. I had their famous pizza and empanadas, and they did not disappoint! Even the service was great — attentive without being bothersome. Overall, a great night out that I plan to repeat! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for a place that feels like home, Vinny's delivers! It's one of those tucked-away restaurants where you can savor Ecuadorian comfort food. During my last visit, I indulged in the 'pork pernil' alongside yellow rice and black beans — absolute perfection! The size of the portions is generous without breaking the bank. Plus, the warmth from the staff makes each meal feel special. Highly recommend this spot for anyone visiting Newark! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Vinny's and was blown away by the flavors of the authentic Ecuadorian dishes. The 'hornado' is a standout, with perfectly cooked pulled pork that melts in your mouth. The service was friendly, and the ambiance was welcoming. I can't wait to return and try more from the menu! " (*Curated Review*)
