“Not impressed”

Cafe Vico

1/6 found this review helpful

After reading all the incredible reviews about Cafe Vico- I guess I was really expecting something special. The menu was incredibly extensive but the food very average. The portobello mushroom was very small and quite insulting at $14.00 for an appetitizer. The Shrimp/angle hair pasta was quite nice- but really we didn't get the overall experience. They did not even serve Italian artisanal breads. They serve dinner rolls. That's not Italian!!!This place is very loud and noisy and there are nicer Italian restaurants in the area.
I would try others.

4/4 found this review helpful

My partner and I went to Cafe Vico on a recommendation of another couple staying at our hotel (February, 2006). We were pleasantly surprised upon walking into the restaurant (which is located in a strip mall). It felt like we had walked into a cafe in Italy. The food was excellent. We both ordered one of the specials which was a veal chop prepared to perfection. The staff was attentive, friendly and unobtrusive. The restaurant had a great atmosphere. A very good variety of items on the menu, and a nice wine list as well. If you are looking for great food and service, and are willing to spend a few extra bucks, we would highly recommend Cafe Vico.

The food at Cafe Vico is the best Italian Food I have had outside of Italy. Even the waiters and decor give the impression of being in Italy. A great place for a romantic dinner with a loved one or just a get together with friends. Service was amazing and food was even better. One side note, you had better like garlic or you might want to stay away because its on just about everything....but then, who doesn't like garlic?
