   We love Italian food, which we have experienced in several regions of Italy. We are also fans of the Sicilian-American food in our hometowns of Boston and New Orleans. In all instances, I appreciate that Italian food uses the best ingredients, often simply and skillfully prepared. Thus, we were disappointed when the special of the day was Chilean sea bass, especially when the bounty of the Gulf of Mexico was practically at the restaurant's doorstep. There is no lack of skill at Trattoria la Vigna, but the two main dishes we ordered (grouper piccata and veal marsala) were over the top, swimming in deep puddles of their respective sauces, served over a bed of pasta that became increasingly less al dente as it soaked in the liquid. For my taste, restraint would have made everything much better, and the pasta could have been more gently dressed and served on the side. The service was professional and friendly.

   The food is always good, with daily specials added that are always different. It’s beer/wine only, but with a good selection. It’s definitely one of our “go to” places in Galveston!

   Fabulous Bruscetta. 2nd time to have the Oslo Buccee’s, the best ever. Desserts are homemade. Cannoli is the best!

   We've come every year to La Vigne when in town for the Ironman race. The food is fantastic. Joel took great care of us (again). Thank you for a wonderful meal and evening!

    The food was fresh, and authentic. Try the octopus appetizer!!!! Waitstaff was so nice and helpful with menu. Great wine selection. We will definitely be making this a regular dining choice.
