Cafe Vico – This little restaurant is fabulous. Very good food, excellent service and the restaurant is lovely. Its perfect for an intimate dinner date or dinner with friends. I've even spent New Year's Eve here and it was wonderful. All this right in my back yard.
Valentine's Dinner! Perfect! – I flew in from NY, it was our first Valentine's Day together and I researched this place from NY... The setting was lovely, dimly lit, romantic in all aspect, good choice in wines We both tried the same thing, something new to both of us; the Linguine alle Vongole Bianco was simply ***"enjoyable" (***Will be edited later since "enjoyable" is an understatement) We ended this lovely dinner with a Tiramisu & a Chocolate Mousse Cake both heavenly.
Real Italian food! – Awesome REAL Italian food! Great Service! Romantic enviroment! We loved it and definitely recommend it to anyone whose looking for real italian food!
Great Food but Tables Too Close Together – Food and service were both top notch. My gnocci were light and the cheese sauce was rich and excellent. The antipasti for two could easily have feed more. My dinner partner's lasagna was not to his liking but was beautifully presented. His complaint was too much meat and not enough sauce. The espresso was the best in town. The ricotta cheesecake was tasty but a little dry. We will definetly go back and soon. We never got our Sambuca.
Definitely worth the trip~! – What I liked most was the food and ambience! I totally recommend this hidden gem for cozy dinners or fun group dinners. I wasn't sure what to expect, especially since the restaurant was located in a strip mall and it's very easy to miss. Once you walk in, it's like you've stepped into a cafe in Italy. Two thumbs up!
EXCELLENT – Truly authentic Italian food, owned by Italians. This restaurant truly lives up to all the positive feedback it has received. The place is small and quaint and non pretentious. Great place for a date. I brought my wife here on Valentines day, and despite the place being packed, food nor service was sacrificed. They also gave all the women a rose at the end of your diner, which I though was a nice gesture. Try the carpaccio!! Try this place, as you will not be disappointed.
New Years Eve – My wife and used previous comments in this forum to try this restaurant recently on New Year's eve 2005 and it lived up to its reputation. The service, food, and ambience were excellent. We could not have gone to a better establishment for our holiday in Florida. We come from an area where Italian food is common and very well prepared. Cafe Vico was outstanding. We spoke to some local regulars at the next table for tips on some of their better dishes and their opinion was to try anything on the menu, and we n... read more
Classic Italian eatery offers home cooking and familial atmosphere. – The Scene Flickering candle lamps, dark woods, polished Mexican tile and gracious service make Vico one of the most romantic small restaurants in South Florida. Three cozy rooms have ceilings that open into a glowing faux-evening sky; walls are painted terra cotta and decorated with photos of celebrities. Place settings include exquisite unmatched hand-painted plates, cobalt blue glasses and starched linens. The family that runs Vico treats every customer ... read more
A Wonderful Night Out – If you love Italian food, this is the place to go. The room is sufficiently lit to read the menu but the lighting is soft. The food is exquisite. The stuffed veal chop and osso buco was incredible as was the hot appetizer. The veal chop oozed with cheese and the proscuitto was wonderful. The mussels and clams on the hot appetizer were good but the grilled calamari was right from Sicily. The roasted eggplant in a balsamic vinagarette on the platter was to die for. Save room for tiramisu
