Angelino our server was great! Had the special of the day Chilean Sea Bass and it was excellent. You cannot go wrong with a visit to Vigilucci's

    From start to finish an outstanding experience, we had traveled from Las Vegas and a dear friend recommended the location. We were looking for an intimate venue and it was in spades very romantic, also we noticed families enjoying the ambience too, got to love an upscale place that caters to kids too☺️. We were taken care of by Alexis and she was an absolute gem❤️The manager also visited our table and was so endearing and professional definitely added to our experience

    Food was amazing, we shared the chicken parmigiana, the pear salad and the ravioli plate between four and it was more than enough food. Large portions for sure, we even took leftovers home. We took our own bottle of wine and enjoyed it for a minimal corking fee. Highly recommend!

    The menu is extensive which made it hard to choose. We all chose something different and it was delicious. Service was provided by a professional waiter - he was great.

    I wish I could give a minus. While we tried to have a nice dinner on a Friday night, there were 2 kids screaming and their parents did nothing about it. Our waiter was gone for over 40 minutes so we sat with dirty plates. The food was good but for a place that charges $39 per a plate of pasta- you would expect to have an ambience.
