From the first course through the pasta and meat dishes expect only the best. A must place to eat. If only two, try thr 'bar' where you can watch the food being prepared. This restaurant really shows off what it can prepare with larger parties, 6-10!

This is a great restaurant for a group of 4-6 as the dishes are meant to be shared and the portions are very large! The server explains everything very thoroughly as this is family style eating and wonderful as you can taste several dishes!! A fun place to go as you can also watch the chefs preparing the food!!

We had our first visit to Vivo earlier this year. I heard the dishes were served "community" style and was unsure what to expect. Upon arrival we were introduced to our server and she was very throughout in explaining the menu, ingredients and portion sizes. Our party of 4 enjoyed a large starter salad- cant remember the name but it... More

We just tried this restaurant after booking it through Open Table. A great experience! Food was top notch, loved sharing the dishes (definitely a place to go as a group). Great wine, service, and atmosphere. A fun place to go on a Saturday night! We'll be back!

I have been here 3 times now. Twice with a group of 5-6 and once with just my husband. I would definatly recommend going with more than less people just so you get to try more things as the portion sizes are big and meant for sharing. The food is fantastic and the price is what you should expect from... More

We made reservations a month ahead of time and were disappointed to be placed at a small table right by the entrance. Be sure to ask for a booth away from the entrance. If there are only two of you I would ask for two seats at the bar near the open kitchen. Please allow time to go through the... More

My wife and I truly enjoyed our experience at Vivo Ristorante. We loved the quality of the ingredients that created some amazing flavours. We also appreciated that we had a server who was willing to walk us through the dinning experience. It's always great when your server is a "partner" in making the experience worthwhile. No one is interested in... More

We booked two weeks in advance asking for a particular area and noting the occasion with the Manager. Upon arrival, we received a horrid table beside the entrance. The service was very unprofessional with the waitress hurrying us to order. Also, once wine was ordered, she filled up our half full glasses far too often. Despite the manager's promises, we... More

My wife and I stopped by Vivo last week for dinner. While she'd been there previously and raved about it, it was my first visit (though I had a sense of the family style dining approach). We arrived just prior to our reservation and were seated quickly. As some have noted, the decor is elegant yet simple. The open kitchen... More

Enjoyed a nice evening with my two friends here last week. Was very much looking forward to trying Vivo given all the hype. Was it as great as I wanted it to be? No. But it wasn't terrible either. Don't know what's holding me back from giving an excellent review - just can't put my finger on it. The service... More
