" I am a big fan of Vigilucci's! The ambiance is warm and inviting, perfect for an evening out. The food is consistently good, especially the risotto. Be prepared for a slightly high cost, but it’s worth it in terms of quality. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came to Vigilucci's after hearing good reviews and left with mixed feelings. While the ambiance is very nice and set for a lovely evening, my food was slightly underwhelming. I ordered the gnocchi which tasted great initially but got bland quickly. Our server was friendly, but the service felt a bit slow at points, particularly when we were waiting for our check. " (*Curated Review*)

" The restaurant combined a beautiful atmosphere with excellent food. The spaghetti was al dente and full of rich flavor. I was impressed with the wine selection as well. Our table had a lovely view of the outdoor patio. Pricey but great for special occasions. Will be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food was delicious, but I found the service lacking. I felt neglected during my visit. Our server didn’t attend to our table as much as I would have liked, and it took a while to get the attention of someone for more drinks. The chicken piccata was tasty, and I really enjoyed the ambiance, but the service needs improvement. " (*Curated Review*)

" Attended a family gathering at Vigilucci's and had a lovely time. The atmosphere was cozy, with beautiful decor. I loved my seafood dish, but my siblings weren't as enthusiastic about their meals. The service was friendly, yet it did have a few hiccups. Overall, I think it deserves another visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" It's my third visit to Vigilucci's and once again, it didn’t disappoint. The chicken marsala was flavorful and cooked perfectly. Our waiter was skilled and checked in on us without being intrusive. Despite the restaurant being busy, the wait for food was reasonable. I consider it one of my go-to Italian spots. " (*Curated Review*)

" A wonderful experience overall! I took my parents to Vigilucci's as they were visiting. They both loved the eggplant parmesan. I quite enjoyed the cioppino, packed with seafood and served hot. The service was friendly but quite busy. Made a reservation which made everything smoother. Would definitely bring visitors here again! " (*Curated Review*)
