CHEF VICO

 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. 

Today he is still there taking care of every single table every single night. 

NOTHING BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER LIKE GOOD FOOD

Our dishes are based on traditional Italian food with sometimes a bit of surprise thrown in for good measure. Our Italian pastas and sauces are homemade and every dish is cooked to order.  We take pride in our quality and fresh ingredients and homemade staples that have become favorites. 

Apart from our menu, Chef  Vico and his 15 year veteran head chef work together to create our daily specials which are innovative and exceptional dishes . Some have become favorites and are recurring others might just surprise you.  If you dine with us often and have favorites from the specials that are not on the menu, we are always happy to prepare them for you.
