25 year old family owned restaurant that has become one of Fort Lauderdale's hidden gems. The freshness and quality and homemade ingredients are key to the very friendly and scrumptious portions you will be getting at Cafe Vico. Great service, and quality food are the core of the operation. Born in the south of Brasil to a second generation italian immigrant family he came to the US with his wife Eclair looking for the American dream.
He got his start working with some of the most authentic italian restaurants and catering halls in New Jersey. Eventually ending up in Florida, Chef Marco Vico took his passion for giving customers an experience, his love for italian food and years of hard work and put all of that into Cafe Vico when they opened in 1996.

I ordered food through DoorDash and waited 30 minutes in the car beyond the time specified. The food was ready, but they just didn't change the status of the order. The manager said it wasn't their problem and he doesn't care. If I don't like something, I don't have to pick up the order. The order I've already paid for! Terrible service! The food was cold and I threw it into the trash. I'll never order anything here again.

I don't usually write reviews but Cafe Vico was so good that we wanted to share our experience. We were visiting in Fort Lauderdale for a week and got several lists of restaurant recommendations from locals. At the last minute my son wanted Italian food and we looked to change our reservation. Many restaurants were full during holiday week. How, lucky were we that Cafe Vico could accommodate us. It's not on the water and is in the corner of a shopping center, but their outside area looked like a magical garden blocked off from everything else. The wait staff was so nice and the owner kept coming

This is a very upscale Italian restaurant. Bar area was clean with a decent selection of drinks. Live music was playing. We ate outside under the tent and it was a very nice place to be.
For the food part we had excellent service from a very professional staff. We had a variety of appetizers, all of which ranged from competent to downright delicious, though none of them particularly memorable. Table bread was acceptable with a nice garlic sauce that went with it.
My main course was the seafood ravioli which had crab meat and ricotta filling with a lobster cream sauce. You only get 8 but each

Cafe Vico has always been an impressive delicious experience, made all the more so by the attention to detail shown by the staff in crisp clean face masks and fresh gloves. While some elements of service have changed to encourage distancing, and cleaner passage of glasses and plates, the elegance of delivery has remained, the server diligently making sure he has the correct choice of wines between several from the same vineyard, prompt refills on beverages, friendly service that neither lingers to long or appears to quickly. And of course the food, this is a consistent easy pick for Best Italian

This is our second time eating here. As always the food and the Resturaunt did not dissapoint. Although we used a Groupon, the prices are great without it. The staff was very attentive, and the Owner even came to tend to our needs and make sure we were taken care of. I was stationed in Italy for 8 years and this food is as close as it can be to Italia!!
