    We arrived for our Mother's Day lunch a few minutes early and were sat right away. Our server came by quickly as well. I had Penne del Fattore which was delicious, & my mom had Ribs and wow it was a massive plate of food. The potato was one of the biggest I've ever seen. It seemed like she ate a full meal and had another to take home. Well worth the money spent. It was a great Mothers Day lunch.

    Service was awesome, but the food and drink we ordered was just not the best value and taste. I love this place but not sure if I will attend next time. The vine selection is great, my review is solely based on food we got and drink (which was pretty flat). The owner does a great job keeping place very busy. Great local business just need to get the food up to par.

    Sadly the food (pasta) isn’t as good as it used to be. My pasta was swimming in a pesto soup.

    The service the food is outstanding. And if you order a cocktail, you get it in the glasses that they’re supposed to be in not these little tiny things like at a lot of places that rip you off. We sat outside, so it was a bit noisy because of the Highway but love everything about this restaurant. Always have and always well and the food is outstanding. Everything is almost made there. They’ve got a pastry shaft. That really knows what she’s doing. They’re amazing. The best piccata I’ve had in a long long time. I recommend you go. They even have happy hour if you want that. Enjoy

    Vigilucci’s is always a joy to dine in. The atmosphere is casual but still upscale. The service has never been anything less than friendly and very welcoming. The food!!! Oh my gosh, the food! Everything is made fresh to order, in-house, and of the finest quality. My only issue is the portions are HUGE (which I know is not a valid complaint). I always end up taking home enough food for lunch the next day. My favorite dishes are their gnocchi, Cabonara (which is the real deal: made with egg yolks and not cream, and whatever seafood special they have going. I’ve been dining here with family and friends, on a regular basis, for over a year and have had nothing but wonderful experiences. Bravo Vigilucci’s!

    This was an excellent evening... everything was 5 stars. Reserved table was waiting upon arrival with 3 approved requests... perfect! Started with a great martini followed by an awesome appetizer. Soon after came a wonderful soup, followed by a seafood medley which was superb. Jesse (a super professional waiter) made the entire evening a total delight followed finally by an affagatto dessert... Superb! Manager constantly walks the floor and all busboy staff work together diligently. What a pleasure... a restaurant that actually has IT ALL together... BRAVO!
