Vic’s Cucina & Bar

Very good food and great service. I had pasta in a spicy red sauce, can’t remember exactly which combo but it was great. I tried the chicken parmigiana which was pretty good but it did lack sauce. My dad and girlfriend love the other chicken dish in a white sauce but I forget the name. They had a large variety of cheesecake flavors that looked great but we didn’t try any. This restaurant is a true gem in Sunbury because most of them are not good at all.

Woah, Sunbury. Where did this come from? For a town I wouldn’t usually pick for a fine dining experience you’ve certainly shown me a light at the end of the tunnel.
Vic’s boasts a large, modern, well decorated space with plenty of seating available, catering to large groups or date nights. The only downfall for me of the atmosphere was that the lighting was seriously bright on the inside and I think it would do a world of good to dim those lights slightly to make it feel a little more intimate and make everyone look a little more attractive.
The staff were really great and attentive. We were greeted at the door and shown to our table and once seated were asked if we’d like to order any drinks. Once our drinks came out we were asked if we’d like to order food and we didn’t have to wait very long for our food to arrive either. We were checked on a few times for drink top ups and to clear entrée plates but it didn’t feel as though we were being crowded.
The menu offered plenty to choose from in entrees, mains, pasta and pizza dishes and everything was well priced for the experience & the quantities served. We shared some seriously tasty garlic bread and the most buttery soft, melt in your mouth calamari I’ve had in a long time. For my main I chose fettucine carbonara because I’d seen it when googling the menu the day before and had it stuck in my mind and I certainly was not disappointed. The serving was huge and the sauce was creamy and flavoursome. We didn’t have enough room to fit in dessert but I almost convinced myself to give it a crack when I saw a waitress walk past with a crème brûlée.
I noticed also that they to takeaway AND delivery which I think is great if you want some beautiful quality food without feeling like you need to get dressed up just to enjoy it.
Good on you, Vic’s, and well done, Sunbury. I’m both surprised and impressed.

What I love about Vic’s is that we can have take-​away food at restaurant quality. The chicken saltimbocca was our favourite take-​away until we dined in recently and became addicted to the veal scaloppini. I have never had such tender veal in my life and the mushroom sauce is delicious. Our dine in experience was excellent, although we were there on a Tuesday at around 5.30pm. When we picked up our take-​away on Thursday evening was a very busy restaurant but with an excellent vibe. I love this place!

Vics is constantly busy for dinner. 6pm on a Wednesday and we saw people get turned away without a booking. It’s hard to imagine why because, there isn’t anything too special about Vic’s, it’s just another pizza/​pasta restaurant. But it’s the ambience and atmosphere why people flock here. It’s busy loud and you feel like staying as long as you can. But you won’t because of lack luster service and inconsistent food. One great pizza seems to make up for 2 weeks of average visits.
