We have been here before but hadn't been for quite a while. They were very busy but got us a table quickly. Service was wonderful and on top of that the owner and one of the service staff recognized us and welcomed us back. That's the mark of a great neighborhood restaurant. Highly recommend.

Wonderful food and mocktails. Everything was amazing AND vegan/alcohol free. It did not feel like depriving of an experience at all. I enjoy every time I come here. This evening featured the hot potato’s, charred remains, the abba burger (Swedish meatball inspired) as well as the warlock. Everything was tasty and fresh tasting and the cocktails were so much more than juice and bubbly water. They were fantastically balanced and flavorful and what I was missing.

I can’t believe how good the vegan calamari dish is! Every time I come to Civico, I can try a delicious vegan option, while my meat loving husband enjoys his choice. Also, the vegan pesto to dip the bread in is to die for—so good! Plus, the piazza makes you feel like you are part of the bustle of Little Italy, while still having a little corner to yourself and your party.
