Visited Vico Ristorante Italiano for my aunts birthday. We got there and were immediately brought to our table. The place is tiny, but the ambiance is extremely calming and relaxing to be around. Beautiful hardwood flooring and Italian feel to it. Now, to the food, my favorite part. The appetizers were cooked so well, and tasted really fresh. My favorite were the fried calamari, which tasted oh so authentic and were served in abundance. I ordered gnocchi and it tasted like my Italian grandmothers, if not even better. (No offense to grandma!) The chef, Vincenzo couldnt have been more generous to our party. Wonderful place to bring a group of people! Feels like a restaurant that you would see in Bostons North End, rather than in a suburb! It is about time that there is a place that offers truly authentic Italian cuisine in the Norwood area. Location could not be any more ideal as it is tucked behind the Norwood Sports Center bowling alley and is in walking distance to the center! Highly highly highly recommended to anyone who is seeking a scrumptious Italian meal!

Vico Ristorante Italiano is literally a hidden gem in Norwood. It is tucked away on Central Street across the street from CrossFit Florian next door to the ambulance company. The place is small inside with a good number of seats but reservations are definitely recommended. Maria is very nice and runs the front of the restaurant. The staff is very responsive and professional. We started with Clams Casino (a special on the menu). Great flavor and definitely fresh. While not a truly Italian dish, it is big in Italian restaurants here in America. I had the short rib special. The portion was very generous. It came with roasted vegetables and a risotto that was cooked to perfection. My wife had the Risotto Pescatore which was filled with seafood and again a very generous portion. Great flavor and the seafood tasted fresh. For a restaurant outside of Boston, this is pretty top notch. It is clear the chef cares and quality dishes are his primary focus. If you are in the Norwood area or live around here, definitely check out this gem.

I am giving this restaurant 5 stars because of such great food, cozy ambiance and good service. Every plate that comes out of the kitchen looks like a masterpiece. I went there couple times in July and I loved it. So I decided to have my birthday celebration here. Everything was great. All my friends (20 people) were pleased with family style appetizers - clams, mussels, prosciutto, salumi misti, home made bread was delicious with olives. Then we had pasta course that consisted of three different ones. All home made. I really liked pasta with pesto sauce. Everything was higher my expectations and so as the main course. There was perfectly cooked sirloin steak, chicken and salmon. Also Vico Ristorante Italiano has a pretty good size parking lot.

The prices are good, the food is great I had the risotto pescatora and my friend had the risotto with vegetables both were delicious the portions are big. I wish Vincenco and his wife good luck thank you for bringing good Italian food to my area.

Delicious food, nice small seating setting. We went as a party of 8 and staff were attentive even with several other large parties at once. Generous portions allowed for leftovers, which were just as delicious the next two days.

High quality Italian food, great service, and a familial environment. On par with some of the best North End restaurants, right in the heart of Norwood. Perfect for a date night or a special dinner out with the family.

An excellent local Italian eatery with a small menu and wine selection, but then thats the point: Its quality over quantity. Be sure to get a reservation as this place is small and fills up quick.

Amazing food. Amazing staff. Family oriented with a great Italian feel. Portions of food are large and the prices are unbeatable. Tradition Italian food for half the price of the North end.
