Directly across from Monte Vesuvio, Vico is rich with the same soil as the San Marzano area. We aim to share the cherished memories cooking with Nonna.

    this was the first time my husband and I ate here, friends of ours come here often so we decided to try it out. We were informed that is could be very noisy so since my husbands birthday was on Monday and it being a holiday we decided it would be a good day to go. It worked out perfect! The service and the food was great. We will come back and try it on a non holiday. We were treated very nicely by both managers Matt and Kyle and even got a tour of the restaurant . Since it was my husbands birthday it was a nice touch to receive a free glass of champagne and a birthday card from the staff .

    Everything was absolutely delicious. The portions were huge. Next time we'll ask for the small size. This time, however, we have a second complete meal of leftovers to eat this week. Looking forward to that very much. Also looking forward to the next time we return to Cirella's.
