A quick stop at Vinis restaurant Bedfordview for a nibble and some takeaways.There werent many people but hoping it picks up. Got served by Fortune (who is the longest standing waiter there if I am not mistaken) and then Agrippa who looked after us. Tried the Crispy fried ravioli stuffed with beef mince & baked with mozzarella cheese and served with a chili tomato dipping sauce and the Crispy Prawn Pockets - 3 Mini pita pockets filled with deep fried prawn, smashed avocado & Ritz sauce. For takeaways we had the Crumbed Mushrooms, some Peri Peri livers, the Lamb Masala Calzone, and Focaccia 🍕Loved the ravioli could have eaten a bigger bowl with lots more of the dipping sauce 😋. The Lamb Calzone, even though the meat and potatoes were absolutely tender, it needed that Masala kick, felt it was a bit too bland.Focaccia was delicious, smeared it with butter and it was just right, and fully dunked my Mushrooms in the blue cheese sauce 🤣#SupportLocal#ProudlyEastRand#TheFoodMusketeer#TheFoodMusketeerEats#TFMVinis
Good food and service. Great little Italian style food in the heart of Bedfordview. A nice little hidden gem
If youre looking for a place to go for lunch, dinner or a romantic date, this is the place to go. Vinis has a menu filled with absolutely delicious offerings. Amazing service by professional and friendly staff and awesome ambiance to go with the whole experience. Highly recommended
The service here is always good. The food has never disappointed. Had to write this review cause of how consistent they are with quality and service. really well done guys
Awesome experience for the whole family. Pastas excellent. Pizzas are the best. I had chicken livers for starters and it was scrumptious. Huge portions.Well priced.
VINIS the best RIBS in town. Food excellent, service is superb 👌🏼
Simply put probably the best pizzas ever! Have always had a great experience here. I believe their ribs are awesome too.
Great food, friendly and homely ambiance
Great service with even better quality food at reasonable prices.Try their legendary Pollo Pizza!
I decided to go here for seafood following reading the reviews.Was disappointed.Food was bland and despite adding loads of garlic, it still never improved the baseline flavour.Quality is poor and the price for said food is overpriced.Think it was the luck of the draw as it didnt help we had a very irritating waiter.He kept interrupting our conversation and trying to be humorous but ended up being inappropriate.For example, our drinks were just halfway and he interrupted us (again for the umpteenth time) to ask if he could get us more drinks. It all felt forced and very annoying. He just never stopped.Strange that he never questioned my barely eaten main course, which Id stopped eating because of the blandness and it didnt taste fresh. He just asked if Id like a takeaway which I declined.We asked for the bill from another waiter who was gracious and helpful.Points for the atmosphere which is calming and a nice setup.
Food is always good here. Service is good and the menu has loads of options. Always enjoy going there. Highly recommended.
Delicious food, excellent service and great atmosphere.Prawn au gratin was divine as a starter. Main course was Baked hake, fresh and very tasty. Chocolate mouse with quality Italian ice-cream was perfect to round off a lovely meal. Highly recommended 👌
Awesome vibe. Delicious food. Great serving portions
Decided to try something different and was not disappointed at all. Well spaced out and full adherence to C19 safety protocols. The staff were all great and eager to help even if they are not your waiter. Food was fantastic and they have a few varieties of infused gin as well as gin premix on tap. Great location with character
Monday and Tuesday special is a real treat! Food was fantastic and it’s a very romantic setting if you want a nice quiet dinner with your partner. Would definitely go back!
Really nice decor and ambience, food is OK.
Great pizzas. Fiery prawn is the best!
Very nice restaurant. Spacious and well laid out with indoor and outdoor tables. The entertainer specials were suspiciously pricey but the food was so delicious that it was still good value.The servers were fine but could be more attentive and the live music was a bit intrusive but Im sure most people would love it. I would recommend Vinis
Vinis is always a pleasant experience. Quick and efficient customer service. The food tastes amazing, and you almost guaranteed to take some of your food away cause theres no way you can finish the portions.
Thank you to the staff at Vinis for a delicious roast beef lunch. Just tastes extra special when you dont have to do the cooking 🤗🤗
Enjoy this place. Good grub and service. Decor starting to look a bit tired now, but dont let that put you off
We stopped over for a quick pizza, but ended up with the rib special and stayed the evening. Honestly some of the best ribs Ive had in a long time. Friendly and attentive staff and a very charming relaxed atmosphere. Definitely going back for pizza.
Nice sunday family lunch with live music by Dave Abbott.
Good ideal on the seafood platter for 2 with wine. Better than Oceanbasket, good vibe! Highly highly recommended
Great food, pleasant live entertainment on a Sunday arvie!
Food is great, the prices are very reasonableI will definitely go there again. Plus they gave me discounts that are linked to my bank account. They have earned a regular customer
Great menu and specials. Consistently good
It was my second time being here and I must say,first experience was amazing.I cant say the same about the second time, the guy who was serving us seemed less interested as a result the service was horrible .Firstly, we were not offered starters, when it was time for takeaways, the guy just dropped the boxes on the table for us to do everything, not refilling our drinks even after we asked him to and still didnt offer us dessert ontop of that.He was young but no energy at all,whereas before,the older guy that served us was excellent and he knew what he was doing.Please train your your younger guys..
The food and reception was awesome, a lekker experience
I ate the best ribs in four years at Vinis.May 16 was our first year anniversary ohh it was worthwhile. The live performance.The place is formal semi-formal oh we loved it.Thank you and keep doing the good work.
Best Food ever. Service brilliant. Good value
Food was good can improve on customers service
Not bad ,food is nice

Best serviceBest staffBig hearts, wont let you down
Great atmosphere, great food at good price, friendly staff. Great family restaurant.
We had a good eveningShrimp Cocktail was delish!Good table table service
Great food and excellent service.
Had a great experience here. Vinis extended their birthday celebrations with an impossible-to-beat 200g steak for R27.00. Sides needed to be ordered separately, but at extremely affordable prices. A whole meal was under R40. 00 and it was something spectacular! Their regular menu fits in with standard prices, but their specials are hard to beat. The staff are extremely friendly and accomodating. I do need to mention that the drinks prices are on the steep side. This did not detract from the overall experience though. Cant wait to go back!
Good quality and service
Great food, awesome service!
Love their food and the best service ever
Wonderful food, great service and stunning atmosphere. 5 star rating from my wife and I. Thanks Vinis.
Lovely place, awesome food, very efficient and professional service. Been there twice now and will definitely go back.
Great staffAmazing food
Absolutely amazing steak with extremely generous portions. Our waiter was attentive and caring, his recommendations were on point. Definitely recommend the Avo and Halloumi salad and the Strawberry Milkshake (I only got a photo of the milkshake because all the food was too good for a stop and snap).
Awesome place. Friendly staff, great food
Put some more focus back into the service, i.e. the waiting service could be improved. The food is excellent and the type of place you would love to turn into one of your regular hangouts. I can personally vouch for their fantastic pizzas and ribs to name just a few items from their excellent menu.
Hi VinisMyself and a number of friends always enjoyed your Hyperli offer for the 600 grams of ribs and wine. I notice you now have a similar offer but with a 2 liter coke. Surely you cant expect anyone to take this up. Two lIters of cold drink with a meal? Come on. Go back to the original offer and you will get plenty of takers. Respectfully. Ray
Havent been in a while, thank you Covid, but will be back....dinner was fantastic from the prawns au gratin, so fresh, to the pizza oven baked hake and substantial greek salad...for me....3 other happy diners, too!....brought our own bottle of red, corkage reasonable....no room for dessert...Thanks!
Great food and amazing service... always a wonderful meal at Vinis
Yet another awesome evening at Vinis!The ribs fell of the bone and the beers were ice cold. The cocktails are served in jam jars and are delicious, or so my wife tells me.
Absolutely Amazing. That goes for the food and the service from Billy and the entire team.We decided to book for the 3 course lunch for Mothers day and we were definitely impressed with the food, ambiance and quality. We left feeling happy with tummies full and doggies bags ( obviously). On arrival my mom thought we had brought her to another dodgy restaurant ( as I always do) but to her surprised she loved every minute. We were welcomed with Champagne and the ladies were given a cute packet of Macarons.We had starter platter Canapés with Caprese Salad, Mini chicken livers in rolls, Kebabs, Melon wrapped with cold meats, Butternut soup, and Garlic and herb Focacia. We polished off everything.For mains we could select from a variety of options. I picked the ribs.... I couldnt pass that up. The rest of the family took the Lamb Shanks, the Peri Chicken and the Bobotie. There was also pasta, prawns, chops, hake. They really have a fantastic variety.The food was delicious, only my ribs were slightly dry.If that wasnt enough to stuff us up, we had to have takeaways as we still wanted dessert.We were all given the trio of desserts beautifully presented ~ Cheesecake, a piece of Chocolate Cake and a Mini Pavlova. Pavlova was one of the best Ive had this year hands down.They also do some random specials during the week so keep an eye on their social media.I would happily recommend them, and our waiter Fortune was so sweet and humorous and made my moms day. Thank you!
The pizza we had was the itsa masta pizza. It comes with 5 toppings of your choice. I had the bacon, avo, feta with grilled chicken breast strips and pepperdews. My friend had bacon, avo, feta, pepperoni and pineapple. Absolutely divine!! Very comfy spot. Very romantic and secluded tables. Waiters are friendly and attentive.I love Vinis
Waiter was short and seemed to not want to be there,really didnt fell welcome. However will give it another try because Kirsty, the manager was professional and very courteous. Hope to change this review then.
5 star experience
Really good food and amazing service. I can highly recommend the eisbein. I personally prefer the atmosphere outside more than the atmosphere indoors. The waiter messed up the special of the day and told us the wrong thing was the special and basically points you to the menu when you ask him what it consists of which isnt great, but overall still better service than most other restaurants.
Great value for money 💰Love your specials and the food is delicious
What a lovely quaint little place in Bedfordview! The atmosphere is relaxed and the staff are very friendly.They also have amazing specials in the beginning of the week for their pizza and pasta (which taste great).Highly recommend for a date night out or a social with friends.
Lovely tasty food. Nice atmosphere
Always excellent food and atmosphere. You wont go wrong choosing Vinis.
100 out 100. Pizzas and pasta and snitchelzs nest aroud.
Always great service from the waiters and the food is absolutely delicious.
Lovely spot to go and eat at. You can sit nicely under the trees or inside. Both have great vibes and the staff is wonderful.
Great place for lunch. Marvellous prawns and a lovely place to catch up with friends. Good Covid protocols
