Additional information

--Located in Galena Illinois, and perched halfway up a charming cobblestone street at the intersection of Washington and Main streets, our Galena restaurant features 4 distinctive dining areas including a Bistro and an outdoor Cappuccino Garden. You’ll find Vinny’s ambiance is at once both casual and elegant. Galena is nestled in the rolling hills of northwest Illinois. It became a bustling town in the early 1800s with the discovery of lead and mining became its first industry. Situated on the Galena River, just a short distance from the Mississippi River, Galena was the largest port between St. Louis, Missouri and St. Paul, Minnesota by the mid-1880s. More than 85 percent of the town is on the National Register of Historic Places.It’s a charming and authentic portrait of American history. Galena and the entire Jo Daviess County area is known for its natural beauty. No other location in Illinois offers such beautiful hills and valleys, which have been here since the time of the glaciers. Many areas are protected and preserved, so you can see wildlife prairies, bald eagles and effigy mounds created by Native Americans.
