Visited Vasco last night with a friend. We weren't hungry for a big meal so shared a salad and Aranchini. Both were delicious, but aranchini could have done with some more cheese. The fruity cocktails were divine and the bartender recommended whiskey to suit my...More

Walked in and felt at home straight away. Went to the bar I ordered an outstanding local beer, the bartender noticed my partner looking at the cocktail list and narrowed down her choice to a pinpoint. Then ordered something to eat. THEY HAVE A GNOCCHI MENU!!! Best gnocchi we have had in so much traveling!!! Can't fault at all. Good old school music, very shilled atmosphere and lovely people working here.

Our smalll group of 4 shared the antipasti over a bottle of wine. The meats and olives were quickly devoured. The Gnocchi is to die for and combined well with the red wine we were drinking. The staff were friendly and full of energy.

Poeske thought gnocchi with basil was very tasty and my Aubergine with bolognese sauce was very tasty and well-seasoned. The wine was 11$/glass and so expensive. The montepulciano was better than the San giovese. During happy hour you have to order the right things. Because we had overlooked that.

Vasco is the place for great Italian service and people that are passionate in what they are doingFound them on a website when looking were to have a great negroni and it sure wasThey make the blend and then store it in a wooden barrel and its very goodVery quirky atmosphere definitely worth a visit.
