- VVickiSan Diego •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoThree of us spent Thanksgiving at Vigiluccis in Leucadia. It’s the second year we’ve done this and enjoyed it as much this time as always! We always opt for the Italian menu rather than the turkey dinner. The server, Oscar, was terrific and attentive. The food was absolutely delicious, hot and served beautifully. We were never rushed, and we will always come back.More infoVigilucci's Trattoria ItalianaPrice: Moderate• Italian• Encinitas•4.7
