We recently dined at Vignetos Italian restaurant. It exceeded my expectations in terms of service, portion sizes, taste, and drink quality, all while maintaining reasonable prices. The staff provided exceptional service throughout my visit, displaying attentiveness and professionalism.
The food portions were generous, ensuring that I left the restaurant fully satisfied without feeling overwhelmed. Plus we had leftovers. The dishes were skillfully seasoned, enhancing the flavors and creating a delightful culinary experience.
The alcoholic drinks were expertly crafted, perfectly balanced, and complemented the meal wonderfully. What impressed me the most was that all of these outstanding elements were offered at a reasonable price point, making it a great value for the overall experience.
I highly recommend this Italian restaurant for its exceptional service, well-portioned and seasoned food, perfectly crafted drinks, and fair pricing.
Chicken Boca was delicious. Everything is so good and fresh. Big portions. Great place to celebrate any occasion. Service was quick, and servers so nice and friendly. Best Italian Restaurant in Plantation!
It has been awhile since we dined at Vignetos Italian Grill, yet we found the food as consistently excellent as always. We had the Baked Clams for an appetizer, and they were deliciously prepared with fresh, whole clams. For our main courses, we enjoyed Shrimp Parmigiana which was delicious and large enough to feed an army as well as the Frutti di Mare, which featured super fresh seafood over pasta. We ended this lovely meal by sharing a creamy, tasty Tiramisu.
The reason for the 4 stars rather than 5 is due to the young lady who “greeted” us at the podium when we walked in. Yes, this restaurant was packed with locals, and we had a forty minute wait. And, yes, I am sure she was tired, even though they had just opened two hours prior to our arrival. However, the “greeter” must at least feign some enthusiasm for customers. Rather, she greeted us with exasperation, was impatient that I didn’t rattle off my phone number quickly enough, and when she did seat us, she was 20 steps ahead of us, never looking back to see the obstacles in front of us due to so many people. She put the menus on the table, threw us a quick smile, and hurried off without even an “enjoy your dinner.”
As an Italian, I am accustomed to a much warmer and politer ambiance, and it starts with the person that has initial contact with patrons.
With that said, the food was delicious, and Carlos our server was excellent! There is plenty of free parking in front of the restaurant. Just be prepared to wait a bit as Vignetos is always busy!
5 stars! Carlos was our server on Friday night 6/23 and he took great care of us! I hadn't been in for so long and so glad to revisit and enjoy such a great dining experience. The restaurant was busy upon arriving, we waited just a few mins for a table. We started with a dirty martini at the bar. We sat at a booth with Carlos and we ordered the Shrimp & Calamari appetizer (in a delish red sauce) and Stuffed Shrimp appetizer with bacon, drool-worthy. The star of the show was the NY Strip steak, seared/broiled to perfection with a crust to die for and the Asiago Gnocchi was so creamy, and delicious. We finished dinner with an Espresso Martini. A perfect week day or weekend dinner, or date night experience!
Everything was delicious here! The calamari, stuffed mushrooms, and meatballs were all great appetizers.
I had the scallops and risotto which was super creamy goodness!
The service was outstanding as well.
Highly recommend!
Found Vignetos Italian Grill by Googling 'Italian restaurants near me'. We didn't have a reservation but only waited 5 minutes on a Saturday night for a table. The service was quick and friendly. The food was delicious, portions large (have enough for another meal), and prices decent. We have definitely found our new neighborhood Italian restaurant.
Excellent food and service. Very consistent. Doesn't miss a beat. Really sharp kitchen. Most restaurants slip over time , Vignetos not at all . Great place to converse with friends as well.
The best neighborhood spot! Frank and Joe the owners are amazing. The bar staff - Claudia, Cassie, John, & Francis are awesome. I wish I knew more of the dining room staff by name because they are all great. 10/10 food, we eat here at least once a week. Best steak in town hands down. Love the Vig!!!
When you open the front door, you leave everything behind and step into a new delight. The atmosphere instantly transforms your mind into letting go of everything. The hot sun at your back and the cool lightly dimmed room in front of you. The meal was HOT, temperature hot, how rare to get hot food anywhere. That gets 5 stars in my book. The food and service was 👍 great.
Great food however, as a family there are some things that they miss. They only have two high chairs so if you come with your LO you may not get one. They also have a poor choice (more like little to no choice) for juice, which is another downfall for having the restaurant in a family friendly neighborhood.
This place is AWESOME! I have been here a few times now on different occasions and every time has been an exceptional experience. The staff is courteous, knowledgeable and professional, the food is some of the BEST I have ever had, and the ambiance is just perfect. There is no other Italian Grill I recommend higher. From the veal, to the rigatoni, to the steaks, everything we have ordered has been delicious and cooked perfectly. I have even recommended this restaurant to folks I meet at work who are visiting from out of town. It has become a favorite for our family, as well as our go-to date night spot.
This place never disappoints! Amazingly cooked food every time. Not only that but they have fast and super friendly service. If you are looking for a great dining experience, you need to visit Vignetos. We will be back soon!
Everything from the grouper, the scallops, baked clams and veal dish with pasta exceeded my expectations.
Our server Katie was so attentive to details and made our experience so memorable!
Highly recommend this restaurant.
The best Italian food in the area. Delicious Snappet and very attentive service. The best Caesar Salad. The ONLY COMPLAINT. No lights in the parking lot at night. VERY DANGEROUS. But, a must visit in Plantation
Wow! I was in the mood for Italian food and this place did not disappoint. If you want a taste of authentic home cooked Italian food this is your place. So incredibly savory with very rich deep flavors of Italy. Inside scoop, get the roasted portobello mushrooms, you’ll thank me later 🫰🏽🤌🏽 🤤
This place came highly recommended. My best friend and I decided to give it a try. The staff and our waiter Carlos were excellent. The food was very good.
Outstanding food! Excellent service! They do not take reservations expect to wait at least a half an hour to an hour to get a table. However worth the wait
My waitress was way too rushed and she made it very obvious. The bread was very good. The pasta fazool was just okay. The veal francese was very disappointing. The veal tasted like it had been frozen and then defrosted to quickly.

Great date night spot. First experience with some real Italian food . I couldn't wait to tell my family and friends about the delicious food.
