    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 .

    We were celebrating a birthday and had a fantastic dining experience. We started with the scallop appetizer, served over square shaped polenta with a white wine truffle sauce—absolutely delicious. For our main course, we chose the chicken Caesar salad. The presentation was unique, with thinly sliced chicken and whole romaine leaves on the side, accompanied by a flavorful dressing, crunchy croutons, and shaved Parmesan. To finish, my friend received a complimentary cannoli for her birthday. It was excellent—not overly sweet, with a smooth filling inside a crisp shell. Our server was warm and attentive, adding to the overall great experience.

    It is a favorite place for special dining when we travel to this area. Food is always very good and service excellent. Tasha explained all the tempting special entrées and the Chilean Bass with shrimp, black rice, and sautéed spinach was excellent. The risotto with large shrimp, a scallop, and mushrooms was excellent. They split salads and offer very nice presentations to each. We dined again on the leftovers...still delish!!

    When visiting Carlsbad, we always have dinner at Vigilucci's on Carlsbad Blvd. Food is consistently excellent. The meatballs are the best we've had anywhere. The salmon was perfectly cooked to medium with just the right carmelized outer layer. Our server last night, Andrea, has been consistently attentive and pleasant every time he's been our server (several times over the past several years). The Vigilucci's signature Vodka is excellent for a happy hour cocktail. We love both Vigilucci's restaurants in Carlsbad.

    We came here for Easter Sunday lunch and had an all-around wonderful experience! From start to finish, everything was top-notch. We began with the Caprese Salad and Calamari—both were incredibly fresh and full of flavor, a perfect start to the meal. For our mains, we had three different pasta dishes and the veal special. Each one was excellent—served hot, beautifully plated, and absolutely delicious. The service was fantastic—friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcomed. A lovely spot for a special occasion or just a great Italian meal. We’ll definitely be back!
