- DDavidSan Diego •18 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoAlways a treat to dine at Vigilucci’s. The service was next level, the fried baby calamari appetizer was light and tender and the seared scallops over mini risotto cakes with a roasted corn, red onion, asparagus, and bell pepper medley, topped with a slightly spicy cherry and sun dried tomato sauce was absolute divinity. Almost forgot the perfectly made old fashioned to kick things off.More infoVigilucci's Seafood & SteakhousePrice: Expensive• Italian• Carlsbad•4.8

- CCarolineSan Diego •3 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoBeautiful restaurant inside. I rated three stars for food only because there were scant few vegetarian and vegan items. Those were basically side orders. There is not one salad available as an option. The other four people in our party that ordered meat meals really enjoyed their food. I also ranked 4 for noise because the only table available was outside, which is next to another restaurant that had their own music playing. I think if you requested a table inside, it would be perfect. I ordered a martini and it was average And very small. We ordered the s’mores for dessert (And there is actually a vegan option with a vegan marshmallow) But they didn’t really Taste like s’mores. The presentation was lovely though, although not real effective grilling your own marshmallow over tiny coals. I would definitely go back if the Restaurant would provide some actual vegan meals.More infoCampfirePrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Carlsbad•4.7

- KKariSan Diego •1 review5.0Dined on Nov 12, 2024Highly recommend! Our 1st time, and it was a perfect way to celebrate our anniversary! I am gluten free and our waitress was very knowledgable with the menu. We started out with a caprese salad. I had the short rib pasta dish w/ GF pasta. It was delicious! My husband had the lasagna which he said was amazing and melted in his mouth! Our waitress went above and beyond to make our night special and even gave us a complimentary, yummy panacotta. We will definitely be back!More info264 FrescoPrice: Moderate• Italian• Carlsbad•4.5
