At Vico, you’re not just dining—you’re stepping into a small slice of Italy right in the heart of Potts Point. We’re not trying to reinvent the wheel. Instead, we focus on doing the classics right: handmade pasta crafted fresh each day, simple quality ingredients, and an atmosphere that feels like your favourite piazza in Rome.

Our team, including Italian-born staff, bring a warmth and authenticity that’s hard to find. Whether you’re here for a quick bowl of cacio e pepe, a slow afternoon with friends and wine, or just passing by for aperitivo and friendly banter, Vico offers an experience as genuine as our food.

Absolutely. In fact, alfresco dining is one of the best ways to enjoy Vico. Our outdoor tables are positioned to take in the passing buzz of Potts Point—perfect for people-watching, sipping a Negroni, and soaking up Sydney’s seasons.

We have heating for cooler nights and breezy shade in summer, making it ideal year-round. It’s our little tribute to the Italian tradition of enjoying food and life outdoors.

Vico was made for connection. Whether you’re catching up with mates, celebrating something low-key, or simply escaping midweek with a friend, we’ve got you covered.

Our menu encourages sharing—think antipasti to start, pasta for each, sides to split, and a bottle (or two) to tie it all together. Just shoot us an email to book, and we’ll take care of the rest. We also offer local catering for groups of 20+, ideal for birthdays, small gatherings, or office lunches.

Every day we personally make our pasta instore. Expect rotating specials alongside our staples—like rich ragù with pappardelle, delicate agnolotti filled with seasonal ingredients, or our take on the Roman classic, carbonara.

Our pasta recipe is made with love, shaped with patience, and combines a lot of Italian tradition (and a few floury aprons). We use high-quality and locally sourced produce so each bite tastes like it should—comforting, flavourful, and honest.

You’d be missing out if you didn’t. Vico is fully licensed and proudly serves a curated selection of Italian and local wines, handpicked to pair with our food.

Our Negroni is made the proper way—by our Italian team, who know it's more than just a drink; it’s a ritual. Prefer something lighter? Our Aperol or Campari Spritz sets the tone for a true Italian aperitivo moment.

We’ve been told Vico is one of the best first date spots in Potts Point. Relaxed but full of life, there’s plenty to observe, comment on, and enjoy together—perfect for breaking the ice over a plate of pasta and a cheeky glass of wine.

For long-term couples, Vico is that go-to place you can always count on: intimate, familiar, and delicious every time. After dinner, we’re within walking distance of dessert bars and late-night cocktails—so the night doesn’t have to end too soon.

Yes! We believe everyone should be able to enjoy Italian food without compromise. Our menu always includes vegetarian-friendly dishes and we offer gluten-free pasta options upon request.

Just let us know when ordering or booking, and we’ll make sure you’re well looked after. Our team is happy to guide you through the menu based on your needs.

Easy! Just email us directly via the contact page and we’ll reserve your table. For groups or special requests, we’re happy to tailor the experience for you.

You can also follow us on Instagram for the latest dishes, specials, and behind-the-scenes stories (including the occasional pasta toss caught mid-air).

We look forward to welcoming you soon—preferably hungry.
