Visited this establishment during a work day this past week. Parking being downtown was surprisingly easy, along with it being free after 4pm till midnight. We were greeted like kings or as a part of the family. The food was spectacular, great plate presentation at a reasonable price being in the times we are in. I am able to say, that I have now been around the block a couple of times & the Gnocchi is the top 2 I have ever eaten. Including the typical Nonna's gnocchi, which ever Italian says that there Nonna is the best.

My parents & I have dined at Vago many, many times. It's one of our stand-by go-to neighborhood restaurants. We enjoy the ambiance, the quality of the food, the menu, & the portions. (We usually bring leftovers home with us). We find the prices reasonable. The selection of wines is darn good & they make a mean sangria, too. Oh, & the free parking in the nearby lot after 6pm is a nice bonus!

Occasionally it can get loud in the restaurant but I think it adds to the vibrancy of the place.

Tonight a new server, Christina, was our server, & she was amazing! In fact, we couldn't believe it was her first shift there. She knew the menu like the back of her hand & was a consummate professional- even dealing with my dad's many food neuroses (hey, he's 96, so he's allowed!). We all thought she was GREAT.

As usual, we had a lovely meal here. Vago is truly a neighborhood gem.

A delicious meal - my first time at this restaurant. Our server Evan was friendly & efficient. Lots of staff. Everything. Tasted delicious. I had Cesar salad & a pesto rigatoni which was wonderful. My wife had a minestrone soup & chicken parmigiana. Also very good. Pistachio tiramisu to end the meal. The owner came over to say hello & ask how our meal was. I shall return 👍 easy street parking in the evening
