Stopped in for Happy Hour at the bar. They have a few solid items for food and drinks for Happy Hour.
We also perused the menu, it’s a little pricey but not more than what you would expect for location and views.
They do offer valet parking for $10 but you can find free parking on the nearby streets if you don’t mind walking a block or two.
The interior is lovely with most tables having ocean views. Extensive wine and cocktail list.
Service at the bar was decent—nothing exceptional, but perfectly fine

I had an unforgettable evening at Vigilucci’s Seafood & Steakhouse—this place truly delivers on all fronts. We sat out on the patio, and the setting couldn’t have been more perfect. The ocean view was absolutely stunning, especially as the sun began to set…it created the most beautiful and relaxing backdrop for dinner.
The food was incredible from the fresh seafood to the perfectly cooked steaks, every bite was flavorful and expertly prepared. The cocktails were also spot on and paired beautifully with the meal. The service was attentive without being intrusive, and the staff made sure we were well taken care of throughout the night.
If you’re looking for a romantic date spot or a classy place to unwind with friends, I highly recommend coming here for dinner and drinks during sunset. The atmosphere is elegant yet comfortable, and the view makes it truly special. We’ll definitely be back!

Vigilucci Steakhouse was such a great experience! Service was attentive and friendly, and the ocean view made for the perfect setting.
We started with two appetizers—the Caesar salad, which was not your typical style but more of a “Caesar boat” (very fresh and fun presentation), and the Caprese salad, which was light and flavorful.
For mains, both my boyfriend and I ordered steaks. I had the 10oz filet over mashed potatoes with veggies, and he ordered the same. The filets were cooked perfectly, tender, and cut like butter. Absolutely delicious and one of the best we’ve had in a long time.
We couldn’t resist dessert and got the chocolate lava cake. It came out hot, with a perfectly cold scoop of ice cream—an amazing combination. To top it off, I had espresso (five double shots total!) and each one was smooth, bold, and well-prepared.
Between the food, the atmosphere, and the view, this is a spot we’ll definitely be coming back to!

This was amazing. My brother comes here regularly and I am in town visiting. The Calamari was amazing, perfectly cooked, delivered fast, and the best I have ever had. We ordered the gnocchi, the same, the best I have ever had. Pappardelle con Funghi e Capesante was fabulous, scallops cooked perfectly. Cappellacci di Manzo was so tender, fresh, and delicious! Penne alla Vodka con Porcini was amazing and delicious. Thank you for a fabulous meal. We will be enjoying the leftovers all weekend!!

While visiting family in the area, they were excited to take us to Vigilucci’s — and it did not disappoint! The service was impeccable, and the food was absolutely delicious. While we had hoped to sit outside and enjoy the sunset, we were lucky to grab a table indoors without a reservation. They’re currently expanding their outdoor seating, which will be a great addition. Food and drinks are on the pricier side, but worth every penny. The spaghetti with meatballs was mouthwatering, and the mushroom risotto was equally impressive. If we lived nearby, this would definitely be one of our go-to spots!

Nice view, pleasant upscale setting, no self parking, impressive, interesting dishes, very well made, unfortunately disappointing non-Italian, stale, just re toasted bread, paired with cheap olive oil.

The food is freakn over the top. Thought a high end restaurant would be tiny portion and way over in price but we left there fuuuuull and with not a huge dent in the wallet. I had a meat trio plate with chicken, steak and Italian sausage. Came with delicious vegetables and a baked potato. But there choices were between fries, baked potato and fettuccine Alfredo. It was soooo good. The quality of the food is on lock! They serve alcohol and you have a choice of sitting inside or out on the patio. The atmosphere was actually chill for as many people that were there. And dont let the suits and fancy dresses discourage you from experiencing this fine dining. I went in with a button up shirt, shorts and some vans, she went in with jeans and shirt and weren’t turned away. Not everyone there is dressed to impress. But if you wanted to, you wouldn’t stick out like a sore thumb either. We really liked this spot. Right across from the ocean, the service was great and we had a great time. Got get yourself some of this amazing Italian

I asked the clients that I took here on a date night about the place. The report was top notch. Food was amazing the wait staff made them feel at home and was romantic.
They returned to the car smiling and with joy after the meal.
… I plan to bring my wife here at some point. 🙂

Best Italian restaurant in the area hands down. Authentic, delicious food perfectly prepared and presented every time. We ordered several appetizers and all shared several entres and desserts, and everything was stunningly good (Hint get the gnocchi as an appetizer). The service was fantastic, exactly what you would want from a nicer restaurant. We were lucky enough to even have a server from Italy and she was very patient with my novice Italian language skills. The food and drinks can be a bit pricey for some, but it is absolutely worth every penny. You pay for quality and ambiance and that is exactly what you get from Vigilucci’s. Can’t wait to go back!
