    The service was excellent; our server, Oscar, was great! We were surprised that it was a special menu (I’ll assume responsibility for not asking the question, but I don’t recall seeing anything on Open Table about a special menu). That was fine (although somewhat disappointing because there was no Bolognese on the menu), but based on the pricing it appeared there was a desire to take advantage of the Valentine’s Day “holiday”. Won’t keep us from coming back, but not the best experience.

    Experience started out great. Got seated promptly and got an appetizer going while we looked over the wine list. Hot artichoke appetizer came out before we got our wine. ‘‘Twas cold by the time we got wine but was still tasty. Jesse was our server and was very friendly. My wife’s pasta entree was amazing. I got veal scallopini and was disappointed. I’ve ordered it elsewhere and it was delicious. This one had an odd flavor profile and I only ate half before giving up. It was an “acquired taste” I would say. All good. I got up to go to the restroom and when I came back they had brought out a canolli for Valentine’s Day. The waiter told my wife it was complimentary. It was not. We were disappointed because we actually wanted a different desert. All in all, no one bats 1000 and we will probably one day go back and try some other options.

    We went to Vigilucci's for my mother-in-laws birthday dinner as a group of 6 (with 2 kids) and had a wonderful time. The Osso Bucco was delicious and the live music made for a great atmosphere. Top-notch service.

    The food and service are always wonderful... on this night the dining floor was rather boisterous as a large party was enjoying the piano music and influenced the entire restaurant. Everyone ended up having a wonderful time. Bravo!

    The meals and service were great. But if you have more than 4 people at the table, you may want to sit farther away from the piano player. The piano player was great, but more than 4 people may have difficulty having a conversation.

    Food and service were outstanding. Our only challenge was with how loud it was making conversation with our friends (there was only 4 of us) difficult.
