Vico Italiano - Norwood

The best Italian. A wonderful family-run restaurant with great nightly specialties. Try the minestrone, calf and leave room for dessert. Excellent wine list and now serves cocktails.

I've lived here in Norwood for over 10 years and didn't know about this place. Had the fig prosciutto appetizer and the Beat salad for an appetizer and while those were good, they couldn't compared to the farfalle dish with truffle oil, I had for a main. Our service was great, the atmosphere nice and cozy, but keep in mind that you should make a reservation because from what I've been told it gets busy and you might have to wait over an hour.

So this evening I was lucky enough to have her Highness the fabulous Sophie Ricci at my dinner table along with my good friend Carlo Prisco..From the time we entered Vico's front door till the time we left Chef Vincenzo and his lovely wife Maria along with there staff completely Wowed us like we were Movie stars..Believe me when I tell you I nor Sophie or Carlo have ever had a dining experience like the one we had tonight at Vico..Chef Vincenzo didn't let us look at the menu, He just asked us what we wanted and he made his version of it..From the focaccia bread to the eggplant campanelle and the Leek soup to the lemon risotto and the cacio Pepe and Carlos salad it was just amazing. For dinner Carlo had the cioppino and Sophie had the fresh halibut. I asked him for swordfish and it came out grilled with spinach, asparagus and mashed potatoes. The flavor in all of these dishes was just top-notch. I can honestly say that the three of us were wowed with every single bite..at this point the 3 of us were completely full until Chef Vincenzo waved his magical wand and presented us with an entire Dessert Platter which consisted of cannolis, tiramisu, creme brulee, and chocolate mousse. This ladies and gentlemen was completely over the top. The absolute best dining experience I have ever had in my life. In my opinion there isn't a restaurant within a 50 Mi radius that's even close to Vico...Absolutely a must try

On of the best Italian Restaurant in Massachusetts.

For real authentic Italian food this is the place to go, the staff and even the owners work together in harmony. I highly recommend this place. A fantastic hidden gem.
