" We had dinner at Vigilucci's last week. I loved the vibe of the place! The calamari and the marinara sauce were to die for. Our server was very friendly; he made excellent recommendations, especially regarding the wine pairing. However, we did find that the main courses took longer than expected to get to our table. The veal scallopini was delicious despite the wait, and I absolutely loved the tiramisu for dessert! Overall, a delightful night! " (*Curated Review*)

" I celebrated my birthday last month at Vigilucci's and what an experience it was! The atmosphere was simply beautiful, and they made sure I felt special from start to finish. I ordered the salmon, and it was perfectly grilled; my guests had various pasta dishes that were equally well-received. Despite a longer wait than expected, the quality of the food made up for it. I can't wait to come back to try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Vigilucci's with our family during the summer, and the experience was delightful. The outdoor seating was perfect for a warm evening, and the flowers added a beautiful touch. My kids loved their pasta dishes, which were made with fresh ingredients. I tried the mixed greens salad, which was fresh and vibrant. I felt that the prices were fair for such quality meals. I would recommend this restaurant for families looking for a nice night out. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had dinner here last night, and it was quite the experience. The food truly lives up to the reputation! We had the gnocchi with marinara sauce, and I have to say, it was the best I've ever had. My partner ordered the lasagna and enjoyed every bite as well. Our server was attentive and very friendly, which added to the warm atmosphere of the restaurant. Prices are on the higher side, but worth it considering the quality. Will definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Vigilucci's is simply outstanding! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance captured us. We were lucky enough to sit near the patio, where we enjoyed a gentle breeze while indulging in the gnocchi with marinara sauce - a true Italian classic done right! The service was attentive, and our server made great recommendations. Dessert, the tiramisu, was the cherry on top! I can't recommend this place enough if you're in the area. You won't walk away disappointed. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Vigilucci's for a romantic dinner with my spouse. The service was excellent; our waiter was attentive and had great recommendations. The pasta was made fresh and tasted delightful, especially the fettuccine alfredo. The ambiance was cozy and intimate, perfect for couples. My one complaint? I felt the prices were a bit high, but considering the quality, it might just be worth it! Overall, we had an enjoyable evening! " (*Curated Review*)

" Vigilucci's has quickly become my go-to spot for Italian food. The dishes are authentic and bursting with flavor. Unfortunately, I did experience a long wait for our meals to arrive, but I loved their signature pasta. The ambiance of the restaurant lights up the evening! I'd suggest this place for anyone looking for a great meal, but just be patient with the service! " (*Curated Review*)
