Cafe
Vico has that home feel and yet the decor, with white and yellow
tablecloths and curtains playing against the dark wood gives the place
the elegance of a country home. (I wish Morton's would take some lessons
in how to make a restaurant feel comfy and cozy.)
We went for lunch
and had the specials: Ossa Bucco ($16.95) that melted in your mouth and
4 cheese ravioli ($12.95) that was delicious. As soon as you sit down
you are served plain, hot rolls with a thick garlic, oil and spice
dipping bowl. Having a choice of soup (pasta fagioli) or salad with the
meal I took the latter which was thick and tasty.
The carrot cake ($6.85) that I had was presented presented better than I have seen it served anywhere else.
Cafe
Vico has been hidden away in the corner of a shopping strip and has
grown year by year with the help of 'regulars' and tasteful expansion.
The ambiance and food are top drawer as was the service with the server and busboy working as a team
Bravo Marco Vico!!!
