Vici Ristobar

First time here. Our food was delicious and April our sever was great. Answered our questions offered recommendations. Checked back on us throughout our dinner. Had the Italian Wedding Soup and Eggplant Parmigiana. Cheesecake for dessert, very good. Had already started eating when I remembered to take pictures. Great local restaurant.

Hands down excellent food every visit. We always start with the fresh fried mozzarella as an appetizer. Sauces are all divine. Chicken parm is always tender and well seasoned and the Grandma’s Margarita with its thin, crisp crust, fresh garlic and basil and crushed plum tomatoes are excellent options. Cheesecakes and desserts on rotation. Try the cannoli cheesecake for something different. Easy enough to walk in during the week. There’s a bar area and space for larger private parties. Parking is easy with designated lot within the shopping center. Nice outside dining for warmer evenings. Owner is usually onsite and very friendly and gracious.

They are still open and excellent!! Gia was my server who was sweet, kind and didn't bug me( I dined alone)! The Chicken piccata was excellent! Two well cooked boneless skinless chicken breasts, lemony moist, perfect. The potatoes were really nice and the green beans were a surprise. Enough food for left overs. I love their bread and olive oil for dipping. I had a nice glass of wine. Could be a bit bigger pour for $11 but otherwise nice choices for wine! Lots of Italian wines. I had the carletto Montepulciano. Low tannins but nice smooth Italian wine.

We visited this restaurant to take advantage of an Offline app discount. We made a reservation through the website, but found when we arrived that it would not have been necessary on the Sunday evening we visited. We were seated and served very quickly, but did not feel rushed at all during the meal. I took the recommendation of the server to try the seafood canneloni special (instead of the braised short ribs) and was very happy with my selection. The cream sauce was incredibly flavorful and the dish did not lack in cheesy goodness. The shrimp on top were perfectly seasoned and cooked and were a nice addition to the seafood inside the canneloni filling. I only wish I had saved some of the complimentary bread (served with rosemary olive oil for dipping) to get every last drop of the sauc

I’ve passed by this place for years but never thought to try it until a couple of days ago. I’m so glad I finally did. Their grandma pie is the best pizza in Durham. Their meatballs are all-beef too which I love because most places use pork in theirs. Most pizza served by restaurants nowadays are mediocre and half-hearted. It’s hard to find a good pizza that I didn’t feel like I wasted my money on. But here, you can tell that they actually care about the quality and presentation of the food they serve. It’s nice to know that there are still some restaurants around here who care. Keep up the great work Vici!
