    My wife and I had one of our first few dates here and we just had our first year wedding anniversary dinner. Our server Chris made it memorable. This will be our spot for many years to come. Thank you

    My only note would be to raise the volume of the music, a lot of overlapping conversations were audible, and the music would help mask that background noise. You couldn't hear the music, and it was a little jarring. Also, it took a while before we were greeted. The servers were in the weeds at that time, and were a little flustered. We started off with one server and was passed along to another, as you could tell they couldn't handle another table.

    It was delicious. Had the Caesar salad and the Chilean Sea Bass with garlic mashed potatoes and spinach. I would definitely have it again.

    We had high hopes, but that didn't work out. I suppose when we saw that they sold 3 oz. glasses of wine for double digits, I got worried. Be that as it may, the dinner menu prices are high but not horribly. What was disappointing was the Spaghetti e Polpette ... I'm pretty sure they dropped a bottle of salt into the sauce :( We also had the Salmone Al Teriyaki - without the Teriyaki it would have sat on the plate. Overall, pretty disappointing and we won't be back. I have seen others who had great experiences, lucky them!

    Very cool place. The food was delicious and service was outstanding. Parking is a little bit of a nightmare as it’s a very small parking lot. We had to park across the street in the beach parking lot. Other than that we loved the place and will be back

    An excellent evening with family for my wife’s birthday. Our server was Carmella and she was excellent. I would recommend a dinner or dining event at this Vigilucci’s. It was a wonderful evening!

    Meal was great and beautiful view on the patio. Only negative was we ended up next to a guest that was extremely loud in his story telling and it pretty much ruined our ambiance. Nothing restaurant could have controlled
