Italian in Ft. Lauderdale

We were recommend an Italian restaurant to try while on vacation, Cafe Vico's (http://www.cafevicorestaurant.com/). This place is very unassuming, hidden away in a strip mall, but it is a gem to be discovered!!! The food was fantastic! It is a family owned business who puts all the little details into making your meal outstanding. First they start you with bread and oil, but not just plain old regular oil. They chop fresh garlic, add spices, and let it marinate before serving you this amazing little starter. How anyone doesn't fill up on this alone amazes me?!!?

For dinner I ordered the Angel Hair Marinara, they served it with a rose carved out of a fresh tomato. My husband ordered the Mushroom Risotto, which is fresh and light, but amazingly delicious!


Finally for dessert they had many different flavors of Sorbet, but the presentation is was what really put it over the top. They served the Sorbet in the shell of the fruit flavor you picked, meaning I ordered orange and it showed up in a frozen orange.


If you are going to be in the Ft. Lauderdale area, this place is a MUST on your dining list!!!
