    We visit Vigilucci’s regularly in Carlsbad. Once a year we go to this location for a change. The food is always great 5/5, but the service is not the same. 3/5 stars. We repeatedly asked for server for simple attention. He was no where around for asking how food was, another round of drinks, etc. Disappointing and will not return again unfortunately.

    Service was great! Food was great! Knocked off a star only because my pasta was slightly a bit salty. But everything else was delicious. I will be returning and recommend.

    92 yr old mom lives in nearby Carlsbad. As a native CA now living in Scottsdale, this used to be a regular place for us. It was better than I remembered and I used to love it. Lunch crowd was not too crazy and the service and food were outstanding. Make sure to order the baked artichoke appetizer-it will change your life. Mom had the Burrata pizza (excellent) my wife had the lunch Chicken Piccata and I enjoyed the fish of the day, which was Salmon. Our two dishes came perfectly prepared and their vegetables were as artistically presented as they were delicious. A small side of al dente spaghetti accompanied our two dishes. We shared lava cake for dessert and overall a great experience. We’ll be back.

    Always very consistent food. Service is very attentive and every server that went by checked on us so that we did not have to wait on one individual person. The piano bar was nice. The music was the level that you could listen, but still have a conversation with the people at your table.

    Great food. Entertainment was different to hear, probably because it was a peak time that we were there and the restaurant was packed.
