    Vigilucci’s was an amazing experience. The Fritto di Calamari e Gamberetti was phenomenal, and I would recommend it as the appetizer. Grigliata di Pesce was superb. The salmon, Chilean sea bass and scallops were cooked to perfection. Our waiter was attentive and the staff friendly. Lots of the clientele was regulars. This says a lot about the quality and consistency of the restaurant.

    Great food and great ambience!! We really enjoyed our dinner experience at Vigilucci's Cucina Italiana. The food was fresh and well prepared... and even though it was a cold and rainy evening outside, the restaurant was full and we were warm and cozy inside. Our waiter looked after us very well and we had a memorable dining experience.
