Will not be back. Ordered online for my fiancée to pick up. While waiting, she heard the bartender say several inappropriate comments while acting as if he was intoxicated. Additionally, she noticed that, although the individuals preparing the food were wearing masks, everyone else wasn’t. Once she picked up the food and arrived home, we noticed that the “garlic knots” we ordered were not garlic knots at all — instead, the “garlic knots” were pieces of bread with garlic on top (photo attached). To top it off, our pizza was incredibly salty, almost to the point that it was inedible

We have been to the Vic's City Market location a few times and always enjoy it. We tried this one after a day at the art museum and it definitely holds up overall. The service is great, the food is delicious. I saw the other reviews where someone knocked stars off because "the interior design is not cohesive"...LOL how petty of a reason to nick stars off. The interior design is perfectly fine for what it is, and the huge wall with the Italian map was pretty cool. The live piano player was a nice touch. Another bad review of a delivery order...sorry dude, no food is going to be top notch when it

If you know what authentic Italian cooking is, you will love Vic’s. The pizza’s are what a true pizza should look, feel, smell and taste like. Sauce not too sweet, bubbly crust, not too thick, and the freshest of ingredients.
My friend’s gnocchi were light, fluffy pillows of heaven.
But the best part of our meal was our Italian server, Katia. She was beautiful inside and out.
Thank you for a wonderful evening.

Went here with friends for dinner. Waitress came to take orders right away. Service was great, waitress made solid suggestions and told us her favorites. Got the Vitello Positano, veal and shrimp with spaghetti in brandy cream sauce. Was phenomenal. Would have gotten dessert, but we were too full.
Calamari and Antipasto appetizers were standouts too. Will definitely come back

This place is phenomenal. I really enjoyed the Italian food served here as I am an average joe. The fried calamari was delicious. It was really cool to see the owner in the restaurant and working hard beside his employees. I have a huge respect for that and will happily come back to this place. Very cozy atmosphere.

We have Veggie Pizza with Soup. Everything was delicious. For desserts we had Lemon jello cake and Tiramisu Cake. We like Lemon jello cake a lot. Very moist, soft and with fresh cream. Overall we enjoyed our dinner except one waitress. She was little rude and spilled soup on table while putting plates on table. Didn't even acknowledge or care to ask me if it was spilled on my dress.

Headed here for dinner and it was quite good. I got their filet and roasted potatoes with vegetables —though the roasted potatoes were deep fried not roasted :) The food was good, but not incredible. I did enjoy the meal, but I left feeling unsatisfied. The service was extremely quick and efficient, with drinks filled consistently. The server was polite and friendly. It’s not that easy to find in the plaza, though there is plenty of parking. Great experience overall.
