Eaten at Vannelli's many times, and nothing but great food! Whether it is my husband and I, or with the kids (Love the Chicken wings :) ), or at one of the many banquets, we have always received excellent service, food, and atmosphere.

We had our daughter's 18th family birthday dinner there and it could not have gone better. I made reservations the day before and they asked if I wanted bar or dining room. I asked for dining room. To my suprise they gave us a private banquet room completely set with linens 3 long tables arranged in a U shape so we could all talk together. Our server was awesome (Mary Jo I think) was very patient with us and explained their menu specials more than once as we didn't all come at the same time. The food was awesome in a party of 15 everyone liked their food. My daughter wanted to go somewhere a little nicer for her birthday and we picked Vannelli's on a recommendation of a friend none of us ever having been there. She was so happy with everything and completely enjoyed her birthday dinner. Thank you Vannelli's everything was amazing!!!!!

I have had MANY different items on the menu here and NEVER had a bad meal.Gil is an amazing Chef! Pizza is GREAT! Friendly staff. We have had Thanksgiving Buffet last two years, very good!



Some of those 1 and 2 start reviews are pretty old. When me and the wife go out, its usually Vanellis!

Every time I go to Vanelli's I think I'm going to order something other than the lasagna. But I can't seem to get past the lasagna. This is the second time I've had the Lasagna. I always come back and order it. It is a lovely pasta goodness. My dinning companion ordered the broiled walleye. The portions are large. Go there and order the lasagna or the walleye. Maybe I'll order something other than the lasagna next time...
