    This place is reliably good, but not great. The wait to be seated was crazy long since it wasn’t super busy……. Good wine list

    Oso buco and lasagna were excellent. The service was warm and friendly as usual. This restaurant knows how to make the dining experience intimate and special. The staff knows the menu well and can be relied on to provide accurate suggestions if needed. Make sure to make reservations for dinner as this is not a large restaurant and it is popular with local residents. If you just pop in, we are taking the chance of being disappointed!

    This is a favorite restaurant of ours. The Maitre'd knows us by name (more by our appetite), his wife is the chef and many of the wait staff remember us, too. The food, service and atmosphere are ideal. You do have to reserve a table at a desired time several days in advance. It is loud, but that is okay. No one else at another table can hear your latest gossip. Love this place!

    Off the beaten path. Understated, yet refined. Great service. The dinner Ravioli with a Mushroom Cream Sauce was a bit on the salty side, but the unusually-designed Lasagna was inspiring. A check-in from Chef Pina halfway through the meal was a nice touch. Worthy of a return trip.

    Trattoria la Vigna was excellent. My wife and three children, all under 8 went and thoroughly enjoyed our mean. Homemade pasta was the best and they were very accommodating to our children. My kids are relatively used to going out to dinner so they know how to act otherwise I would recommend getting food for takeouts. Either way, an excellent choice for an authentic Italian meal.

    Best Veal Scallopini. Great restaurant. Love the food. Only suggestion is when you make a reservation put a "reserve" sign on a table. This will make you feel special. Hate that they take you in and say pick a table.

    My husband and I were on vacation and walking around downtown Galveston one afternoon. We asked around for recommendations for dinner and decided to try Trattoria la Vigna. We are so glad we did. Our server, Brian, was excellent. He even suggested they could make a Marsala gravy from corn starch for my gluten allergy. I ordered the veal chop and it was cooked exactly as ordered. My husband had the lobster ravioli served with a grilled lobster tail. He said it was “excellent”. He enjoyed the olive oil dipping sauce served with fresh bread.

    Genuine Italian food prepared by Pina , not like Mom's , It was even better! Sorry Mom, you taught me to tell the truth! Excellent service by Anna , and no visit would be complete without a table visit by Sal. Combine all that with good friends and wine and you have a great evening! Thanks to all!

    For this trip I wanted something a little different, so I opted for the grilled salmon. Oh my goodness!!! It was perfectly cooked and the lemon butter sauce that came with it was absolutely wonderful. Trattoria la Vigna NEVER disappoints! I highly recommend anything on their menu. Oh, the lasagna is out of this world! A must try! Happy eating . . .

    This is our favorite place to eat in Galveston . We plan to eat here every weekend we come down. Everything Pina cooks is delicious. If you go order the blue crab ravioli with the Rosa sauce. Also the shrimp scampi is fabulous. Pina is from Sicily and she does all the cooking herself and makes her own pasta. This is not a fancy place but very hometown and friendly.

    Everything about this meal was superb. My husband ordered the special of the evening, a mixed seafood ravioli and lobster tail and thinks it is the best meal that he has had in years. The recommended wine was good and not overpriced and the complimentary dessert for his birthday was delicious and appreciated. If you are in town and want authentic and delicious Italian cuisine, this is the best choice!
