- MMariovipSan Diego •92 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoSat at the bar, and the bartender Anthony was very good. We live locally and have come here often over the past 9 years. Always recommend this place, because it is consistently very good. Started with their Carpaccio, highly recommend, it's fresh, it's really good with arugula and fresh whole parmesan. I love their veal la limon, with capers. Light and rich! Their chicken masala is probably one of the best you'll find...Their wine menu is top notch, that includes their own label of Sangiovese and we recommend that, and also love the Daou Cab by the glass. Their sorbet is fresh homemade. Bellissima!More infoVigilucci's Cucina ItalianaPrice: Moderate• Italian• Carlsbad•4.8

- VVickiSan Diego •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoThree of us spent Thanksgiving at Vigiluccis in Leucadia. It’s the second year we’ve done this and enjoyed it as much this time as always! We always opt for the Italian menu rather than the turkey dinner. The server, Oscar, was terrific and attentive. The food was absolutely delicious, hot and served beautifully. We were never rushed, and we will always come back.More infoVigilucci's Trattoria ItalianaPrice: Moderate• Italian• Encinitas•4.7
- JJodieLos Angeles •2 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoWe have spent the past few Thanksgiving holidays dining at Vigilucci's and will come back again. The patio is one of the few in the area that has an ocean view and with the promise of a more permanent set up outdoors coming soon, it will continue to be one of our favorite restaurants!More infoVigilucci's Seafood & SteakhousePrice: Expensive• Italian• Carlsbad•4.8
