Marco, the owner and Brazilian, brings that charming old world hospitality to this Tuscan style restaurant. You will find him here most of the time and his very large family, including his attractive wife Éclair. His staff is so friendly and attentive to each table. This is a very busy and popular restaurant with 125 seats and offers over 250 vintage wines. There is a full bar too that is now available. In fact Cafe Vico has won the top Best restaurants in South Florida. Even on this busy night, our entire table felt so relaxed, as if we were having dinner in Marcos home.
There is this magical painting on a few of the dining room ceilings with huge clouds floating within a deep blue sky. It allows you to daydream before, during and after eating! Candlelight, deep yellows and blues surround this cozy and romantic address.
I visited the restaurant on a Sunday night, off season and it was buzzing, which to me says success.
Blondee’s Picks:
Wine selection:
Chianti Riserva Ruffino Tan Label
Complementary is a bottle of Vico Eco still or sparkling water
Bread is yum with an olive oil mixture I could not get enough of....
Appetizers: meatballs and portabella mushrooms and roasted peppers
Boomers we must have our greens. I had arugula salad and another must have is their cream of carrot soup
Lasagna or Veal Scaloppini ( your choice of style)
Dessert: ANY!!!!!
Blondee’s Powder room Check: nice
As I left Marco and I were blowing kisses in the air to each other….romance, good food and day dreaming clouds…good for anyone!
