Thank you for inquiring about our facilities at Vinny Vanucchi’s. To cater our larger parties we have selected five great family style menus. All of these entrees are served with baskets of Vinny’s piping hot garlic bread and our house salad. The house salad is tossed in our famous sweet Italian vinegrette dressing and topped with freshly shredded parmesan cheese. Our reservation policy on the weekend requires all large parties to be seated at 9:00 pm, unless approved by management. We have more flexibility on weekdays.

Family Style
Our family style Italian menus are a variety of entrees served on large platters which are easily passed around the table. This has proven to be very enjoyable for our guests, as they get to experience a variety of our most popular menu items. All entrees are served with bowls of penne pasta in our homemade marinara sauce. Our appetizer and dessert selection can be ordered individually or as combination platters. Below you have five family style menus. Please pick One menu and then choose Three entrees within that menu. Circle your choices and then fax us a copy.
