Vinnie’s Neighborhood Italian brings “Old School” New York Italian cuisine to Asheville. Since the opening in 2010, Vinnie's has earned ‘Hall of Fame’ distinction with accolades such as “Best Italian Restaurant,” “Best Service,” “Best Bartender,” “Best Wine List,” and “Best Pasta.” The owner, Eric Scheffer, originally from Long Island, New York, pays homage to his youth by serving dishes from recipes passed down from family and friends. Incorporating his same standards of excellence from his first award-winning restaurant, The Savoy, Vinnie’s provides a uniquely upscale, yet at home experience. The aromas of home-cooked Italian food, along with the rhythmic sounds of Martini’s being shaken to perfection, set the stage for a night of fun and laughter at Vinnie’s.
