    Wonderful service and the food was amazing! The price is a bit high but it’s a coastal restaurant. It is a lively place with the bar and the piano was playing but the perfect level of volume even in the dining room.

    Our favorite Vigilucci's is the Trattoria Italiana in Encinitas. The interior design of this restaurant is very inviting and comfortable, the staff is outstanding, and the live entertainment/piano bar makes for a perfect dining experience.

    Food and service are great. Nothing against the piano player. He was great and having him in the main dining area playing Christmas tunes in December was nice. However, conversation can be difficult if there are 4 or more people at a table. Either sit ask to sit farther from the piano or ask for other seating options in areas other than the main dining room.
