    They charged $95 for a filet and then brought it out rare when I ordered medium. They took it back to the kitchen and cooked it more. I said now way…not for $95. They proceeded to still charge me for the undercooked scallop that was on the plate as well as the truffle fries. The fries were actually delicious. Anyway…long story short, they have lost a local customer over 18 bucks.

    We enjoyed sitting at the table with a fantastic view of the Pacific Ocean. The food was delicious, and the Italian cuisine was authentic. We will be back there.

    I always have a great experience at this restaurant. The food is very special. I was only disappointed because my favorite appetizer the scallops with polenta and a wild mushroom sauce was no longer on the menu. I did enjoy that crabcake appetizer and delicious spumoni for dessert, Antonio, as always, was very attentive and helpful. Love the ambience and the ocean view.

    I have always enjoyed dining at Vigullucis. Sitting right across from the ocean with a fine wine and delicious dinner is great and it’s where we take our out of town friends .
