    With a reservation, we were seated at the worse table in the place, directly across from the front door and next to the bathrooms. Nonstop traffic the whole time. Server was excellent- we told him we were in a hurry (due to the miserable table) and he cooperated. We were in and out in less than 1 hour. Food was good. Go to Carlsbad location instead - ambiance is much better.

    It was a wonderful celebration dinner for my daughter‘s birthday. From the moment we walked in, everything was perfect. The wait staff was professional, friendly and attentive, the food came out quickly and was presented beautifully. The pianist entertained us with his beautiful music and sang happy birthday to my daughter as the candle was lit on her birthday dessert. It was a memorable evening, and I would come back for a celebration dinner at Vigilucci‘s Trattoria Italiana again and again.

    Everything was very, very good! Service, food, seating all great. Pianist/ singer was not only mediocre but was very loud.

    Vigilucci’s is always a delight. I’ve never had anything less than a wonderful meal. Our service is always amazing, the food is made with care, always fresh, and the portions are generous. I’ve been visiting all three Vigilucci’s locations for a couple of years now, and the Trattoria in Leucadia is my favorite of the three.

    As usual, our "Date Night" was fantastic! Everything about it was excellent. Jesse our waiter was GREAT (as usual) and the food and cocktails were top shelf. This has become one of our favorite local restaurants as we have now been here many times. IT HAS NEVER DISAPPOINTED US. WELL DONE, BRAVO!

    Had a delicious, quiet dinner with a friend. Service was prompt but unobtrusive. Food was the right temp and flavorful, lots of options. I loved the piano music and singer, great song choices and pleasant level, able to talk over the music.

    Service was friendly and good. The scallops were delicious and the chicken piccata was really nice. We ate in our favorite place, the oven room. Our waiter was delightful.

    My husband and I have been eager to try Vigilucci’s, and since we were in Encinitas for the evening, we decided on a nice dinner out We started with the table bread, which was warm and tasty, but the oil and balsamic weren’t quite to my satisfaction—I would have preferred butter and garlic. For our mains, we ordered the Chicken Piccata di Pollo and the Filetto pizza. The pizza looked amazing, but unfortunately, it had excess water from the meat still cooking on top. The Gorgonzola tasted more like blue cheese, which wasn’t what we expected. While the filet mignon was tender, it lacked flavor and wasn’t particularly memorable, though the crust was outstanding. The pasta itself was just okay, but the chicken completely made up for it! It was flavorful, and when paired with the roasted vegetables, it really brought the dish together. Overall, our experience had its highs and lows. The meal had some standout elements, but there were a few disappointments as well. We’d be open to returning to try other dishes, hoping for a more consistent experience next time
