    Their food was delicious. This place reminds me of the restaurants my parents used to take me to in the San Pedro area (where a lot of Italians settled, bringing their delicious food). Their food is top notch.

    First time dining at the State Street location. We drove down from Orange County and we have always gone to the beach location for Seafood and Steaks. We were all pleasantly surprised on how good the food, service and ambiance they have. The noise is loud in the Resturant however it gives it an “energy level” that most restaurants are missing these days. We recommend the Calamari and Rock Shrimp appetizer which had a large portion size. We had the pasta Vodka sauce, Rigatoni with Sausage, Veal Scaloppini and Chicken Parmesan. The service was outstanding and our waiter had full control of his serving staff. We will be back and bring other friends with us. Thank you for a great evening!

    Never disappointed here. I got the veal with porcini and pasta, my wife got some gnocchi, and we got a canoli for dessert to celebrate our anniversary. Vigilucci's is expensive, no doubt. Join their rewards program, it takes off the sting. You will never be disappointed with the food.

    The plates were dirty. When we got the bill they had added extra charges that we hadn’t ordered . This has happened before so check your bill . They cook the vegetables the same every time and are tasteless. The service is good and apart from vegetables was good.

    We are new to the area so it was our first time visiting this restaurant and we absolutely loved it. I am extremely particular so for me to give a restaurant five stars in every area says a lot. On top of that, they had fantastic cocktails and great wine. We will definitely be returning and bringing all of our family and friends that visit.
