"The care taken in each of these dishes definitely shows. The service is friendly and very accommodating for specific dietary needs and restrictions. This time around I tried the gluten free gnocchi that had a cauliflower base. It was absolutely delicious. Before this I've only ever had regular gnocchi, but this gluten free version did NOT disappoint. Great texture and flavor with the steak bites and reduction sauce. Hubby had the lobster ravioli... That saffron sauce was spectacularly delicate and creamy. Can we make a gluten free version of that ravioli possibly? Or does it exist...? I probably should've asked. We'll be back! Thanks to the staff for making our visit so enjoyable!"

"My husband and I have been eager to try Vigilucci’s, and since we were in Encinitas for the evening, we decided on a nice dinner out We started with the table bread, which was warm and tasty, but the oil and balsamic weren’t quite to my satisfaction—I would have preferred butter and garlic. For our mains, we ordered the Chicken Piccata di Pollo and the Filetto pizza. The pizza looked amazing, but unfortunately, it had excess water from the meat still cooking on top. The Gorgonzola tasted more like blue cheese, which wasn’t what we expected. While the filet mignon was tender, it lacked flavor and wasn’t particularly memorable, though the crust was outstanding. The pasta itself was just okay, but the chicken completely made up for it! It was flavorful, and when paired with the roasted vegetables, it really brought the dish together. Overall, our experience had its highs and lows. The meal had some standout elements, but there were a few disappointments as well. We’d be open to returning to try other dishes, hoping for a more consistent experience next time"

"A nice, relaxed vibe as always, but the quality of the food seems to still be declining. Once it was great Italian food, now it's just average. I'm not sure if prices have gone up, but the quality, attention to detail, and even the portion sizes have gone down. But there's nothing wrong with this place that a little more creativity and generosity can't fix!"

"The ordering process is done downstairs at the register, breakfast menu to the right! The staff was very helpful with this, as I was intent on running upstairs immediately. Best French toast I think I've ever had. The combo was ok. Eggs were good and fluffy. But 100% try those Frenchies. Atmosphere was legit. Went for the view and was impressed. There's the ocean! Coffee was good too. They have a coffee bar and they give you a mug. Good stuff. Will be back!"

"This is a lovely old world Italian restaurant that reminds of another time. It was a snowy day and the restaurant wasn't crowded for lunch, but the food was great. The bread was fresh and delicious. The homemade minestrone was light and fragrant. The shrimp were excellent. It was my girlfriend's birthday, and our waiter brought a delicious dessert with a message in chocolate on his own initiative. We will come back in any case."
