Summer Isn't over Yet!



Though it had been there for years I didn't discover the Cafe Vico until I celebrated my 19th Leap Year in
2012 when I had a list of restaurants that I hadn't eaten in and wanted
to visit. I reviewed it back then for yelp giving it 5 stars.

This
past June I got an email that the Cafe Vico was going to offer 2-4-1
lunches and Allen and I have been going there every Thursday since June
20--as of last Thursday, October 31, we have been there 20 times and
have had ordered 40 different lunches.

You
can check out their lunch and dinner menu at
https://cafevicorestaurant.com/ plus every week they offered us 2
specials.  As of this past Thursday I have had only one less than
excellent meal and that was an Osso Bocca taht was a bit too salty but
aside from that all the lunches were/are top drawer. They do serve a top
of the line lasagna and all their pasta dishes melt in your mouth.

This
past Thursday I had Talipia francese that was served on a green pasta,
the dish being sweet and tart at the same time. Allen had the Cappalini
Scampi which he really likes though I prefer the Linguini ala Pescatore
with shrimp, scallops and calamari in spicy tomato sauce though I
usually have it made in garlic and oil.

We
were sort of celebrating our last lunch and the end of summer until we
were leaving when I noticed on the board "2-4-1 lunch until November
30"! LOOKS LIKE SUMMER ISN'T OVER YET!!!!!

It is not over till you say so.

I'm so glad you posted pictures of food. Francese must be a new trend - one of the Las Vegas restaurants has some kind of fish francese on their special Thanksgiving menu, first time I'd seen it, and now you mention it, too.

It's been around for years--usually a light batter and lemon juice--sometimes wine--it really is ggod.
