    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

    Made a last minute reservation on Friday for Saturday. Took the family for a nice dinner on our last night in Carlsbad. Vigilucci met our expectations. We arrived and our table was ready. Our waitress arrived immediately and took our drink order. Told us the specials. All our salads, soup and entrees were out promptly. Everything was great. From the spaghetti to the rib eye. Awesome food. Great service.

    We visited North County to celebrate my bday. We'd never been to Vigilucci's, and the reviews were good, so why not? Valet parking is limited, so we had to park in the neighborhood, but with a very short walk. EcialWe were warmly greeted (reservations are recommended) and given a choice of outdoor or indoor seating. We chose indoor to avoid the street noise. Water and warm bread were quick coming as were specialties of the night. We chose a suggested super Tuscan to go with dinner along with a shared caprese, the night's risotto special and cappellacci di manzo. I would've liked more basil in my portion of the caprese, but the heirloom tomatoes were rich and sweet. My husband's risotto contained filet pieces, as well as truffles and asparagus. My capellacci was filled with short ribs in a delicious and creamy mushroom/sherry sauce. We both took home part of our entrees. It was my birthday and I was surprised with a cannoli and a candle on the house. Service was exceptional. Overall, it was a wonderful if not a bit pricey dinner, but worth it.

    We went for dinner on a Monday night. Valet parked, located across the street from Carlsbad beach. Place was elegant but not stuffy. The outdoor patio was full so we sat inside by the window for sunset. It was pretty busy at 6:30. We had bruschetta (best I’ve had in a long time). I had scallops on risotto cakes and my husband had chicken parm. Food was top notch. Great drink and wine selection. Wonderful service. We plan to go back while we’re in the area.

    Great ambiance and feel in the venue, outdoor patio was beautiful and you definitely pay for the view. Service was sub-par for this price point and level of dining. Tara(h) was very short on the greet and definitely rushed us to get in our entrees. She seemed bothered by us asking questions about the menu which made us feel bad for asking. I understand she was most likely busy, but again at a restaurant like this the service has to be better. I do commend the support staff for always keeping the tables clean and well bussed. Antipasto was good, and so was the risotto of the day. I've had better osso buccos for $40, so this one coming in at a whopping $90 did not impress. Overall a fine experience, with the highlights being the view and the first course but unlikely to recommend or return any time soon.
