Lavigna

We made a reservation for tonight and had a wonderful dining experience. The service was extremely professional form the moment we arrived. I had a shrimp scampi entrée and my husband chose the rainbow trout they had on special. It all tasted very fresh and authentic. The desserts were also flavorful and nothing tasted bland like some chain Italian restaurants. We look forward to returning in the future; mostly because I want to try their scallops! :)

Not a place I plan on going back to anytime soon. I don’t like giving poor reviews to small restaurants but this you would have a better meal at Applebee’s and spend less.
The place has a great name but in no way does the food reflect its class.

The food was excellent and the service was good. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Party of 23 & everybody was happy. Popular dishes with our group were the monkfish special & spinach linguini. Excellent service & appetizers. Would have tried delicious sounding desserts (cinnamon gelato!) but we were stuffed. Lovely find outside Oregon, IL.

Great Italian food and service! Our favorite eatery in the area. The food is excellent… the best scallops I’ve ever eaten! My wife and I have celebrated all 18 anniversaries at La Vigna and look forward to many more!

This place is a «find» in the small town of Oregon, IL. Lavigna has tasty food, great service, and you feel like family when eating there even if you are not from the town. Nice work!

The food was very good! My favorite part was the gelato. I’ve tasted gelato from many different places around the U.S. and they have some of the best I’ve had (I had the pistachio). You can mix and match flavors, a single order comes with 3 small scoops.
The goat cheese appetizer was served with 2 pieces of butter, seasoned bread. The cheese wasn’t a spread but was a sauce.
The meat dishes had full flavor and fell apart when we are them.
For an appetizer, 2 entres, 2 sodas, and an order of gelato, our order came to $ 50.

Best Italian food around here. They have the best Alfredo. The service is great. There are three sections. There is the room with the fire place (the nicest section), the small room off the main room and the medium sized room. It décor isn’t special but I love this place.

One of the best Italian places hidden in the middle of nowhere!

Took my sister and brother in law from NY here during Christmas. They were really impressed with the Italian food. Special place to eat. Little pricey but don’t eat here everyday only special occasion

I like this place so much. One of the biggest draws for me, is simply the fact that it is in the middle of nowhere. The interior of the restaurant is nothing special, but the food is, and the service is, and frankly, as long as the restaurant is clean, food and service is all that matters to me. My wife and I found this place when we lived in a neighbouring town awhile ago. We no longer live near, but when we visit that area, we make sure we stop. Pasta dishes are very good, seafood is cooked well. This past time I had the Filet Mignon dinner special. Nice large piece of Filet that just fell apart when I ate it.
My lone piece of advice for anyone going, save room for dessert! LaVigna has, without doubt, the best Gelato. Period! I have had Gelato all over the nation and when I try someplace new, it gets compared to here, because they are the benchmark in my opinion. This last time, my wife and I ended up splitting two Cinnamon/​Hazelnut/​Cappuccino gelato’s because it was so good. I left a very happy man that night.
If you find yourself in the Oregon, IL area, do yourself a favor and check this place out. You will not be disappointed.

Hands down, our favorite Italian dining places anywhere! Friendly service, great selection of pasta, beef, fish & chicken and great desserts. It’s our «special night» place to eat!

A gem in the middle of the country. I would give a 4.7 out of 5. I loved the pork Florentine. The bruchetta was delightful with mozzarella and sliced tomato. Did I say the bread is freshly baked. the tira misu was good as many. The pasta al dente and the fresh vegetable.

This place is AWESOME! Every time we come home, we always make sure to have at least one meal here. My husband is in the Navy, and we’ve lived many places. There is no authentic Italian restaurant that even comes close to La Vinga. My family was invited to the opening and have been going back ever since. We love La Vigna so much that we had our rehearsal dinner for our wedding there! AND they set up a special menu for us! One of my favorite items that they only serve seasonally is Spinach Lasagna. It wasn’t in season when we had our rehearsal, but Ali (the owner) made it for us.
It is so worth a drive! And you can’t leave without having the homemade gelato or sorbet. It’s to DIE FOR!

My husband and I had our reception dinner here. We decided on La Vigna because we had celebrated every dating anniversary there, and we had never had a bad experience. Ever.
The staff and food were completely amazing. I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding reception. Debbie was an absolute pleasure to work with, and Ali was so accomodating. We will be back again and again.

This is rustic Italian at its finest. Very quaint atmosphere complete w/​a fireplace. They usually have a small but great wine selection. Space is limited so call for reservations. My personal favorite is the little neck clam pasta, but the seafood diavolo is a close second. If you live within an hours drive it is well worth the windshield time.

I love this place. It’s one of the few good places to go eat when we visit my G’ma in Lost Nation and we’ve been going there for years. It’s one of those places that you just kinda stumble upon and have fond memories of. It’s usually busy and has a sort of typical dark Italian restaurant vibe with huge candles overflowing with wax. Good food from what I remember, but I haven’t been there for quite a while.
