Today's Catch
Our specials change daily because our fish is delivered daily. What’s on the truck this morning is on your plate tonight. Simple as that.
Our famous Brooklyn bread is delivered fresh daily too. Because great seafood deserves great bread.
Specials are for dine-in only, no substitutions.
We're Not a Business.
We're a Neighborhood Joint.
Uncle Vinnie’s isn’t a franchise. It’s a family.
Family owned and operated with deep roots in Raritan, we have been serving this community since 1989. This is home for us. Not just where we do business, but where we live, grow, and raise our families.
Our secret is simple. We get our fish delivered fresh every single day.
We are not trying to reinvent the wheel. We make Italian-style seafood the way it is supposed to be made. Fresh ingredients. Generous portions. Cold beer. Good company.
We know our regulars by name, and we love seeing new faces walk through the door. This is more than a restaurant to us. It is our life’s work.
