"My spouse and I were disappointed with our experience at Café Vico last night. This used to be one of our favorite restaurants when we visited FLL, but since we moved here four years ago, we had not been back. The food was just okay, lacking the heart we remembered. The red sauce was too sweet, and the Bolognese had an overwhelming amount of nutmeg. The hot side dishes were served cold, and the service felt rushed and perfunctory. The Chicken Milanese was the only dish we enjoyed and would consider ordering again. The staff were well-dressed and professional. Despite being light eaters and ordering conservatively, our bill came out to around $160, including a bottle of wine, appetizer, salad, and two entrees. The portion sizes were generous, with enough leftovers to take home. The total cost seemed a bit high for the overall experience, but not out of the ordinary for FLL. It's unfortunate that Café Vico has lost its charm for us, as there are many other Italian restaurants we would rather try. The photo shows the leftover portion of Chicken Milanese, which was substantial. If you enjoy large portions, you may appreciate this restaurant."
