Description: ViBo Restaurant says... Rich in tradition while modern in approach, Vibo (formerly Villa Borghese) has been a staple in the Kingsway area for more than 40 years. The menu strikes a harmonious balance between authentic Italian flavours and contemporary cuisine and changes to reflect what is fresh and in season. Let our wood burning fire place set the mood for the evening or have the live piano music entertain you. Our private dining room may be used for business meetings or festive occasions alike. The warm ambiance, friendly, and professional staff make this casual fine dining restaurant the ideal setting for any occasion. A visit to Vibo will be an experience in true Italian hospitality.

Nice wine selection and good food. The restaurant has different seating areas catering to business, casual meals or romantic dinning. All in all on the pricey side but good for a special occasion.

We ended up booking ViBo for my fiancee's 30th birthday dinner celebration through opentable.com. We had almost 20 people and were seated in the private upstairs dining area, overlooking bloor street. Our head server, Andrew was absolutely fantastic, organized, polite and very humorous. Most of us ended up sticking with the pre-fixe menu that Toronto had going on for the... More

I've been to ViBo several times, and I'm never disappointed. The restaurant itself is comfortable and welcoming. On a cold winter night, it's lovely to sit by the fireplace. Their menu has something for everyone and there are always daily specials. A nice wine list, attentive service and delicious food. What more can you ask for.

I really enjoyed this place! I appreciate that their pasta dishes come in appetizer portions, and the gnocchi was amazing. The service was lack-luster. There seemed to be many regulars there, and the waiters were paying attention to those tables. As newcomers, our waiter frequently forgot about us, even as we were waiting to order (he walked by us many... More

This restaurant has had a few names in its time, but has been faithfully serving the good people of Bloor West when the need for Italian food arises. There are few surprises on the menu, and your favourite Italian dish is sure to be there. If it isn't, just ask one of their superb waiters and the kitchen will probably... More

The food is great, service wonderful and a nice wine list. Daily specials supplement the menu. On weekends there is a nice piano player. I have been there with groups of 4 - 12 and the service has been great. Wide variety of dishes to make everyone happy.

My husband and I once lived in this area; we both walked by this restaurant several times without ever going in until tonight. Hubby made a reservation as was recommended since this is a popular spot. The ambience is very relaxed yet elegant. I loved listening to the piano player and the crackle of wood in the fireplace. Low lighting... More

I've been here a few times now and I've never been dissappointed. I love the ambiance. The piano bar is very relaxing, the service is amazing and the food is delicious! You must try their short-ribs, that are delicious!

I have not been to Vibo for some time although I have been several times over the passed many years. I was pleasantly surprised with the attention to detail and great service. The food has improved considerably since the last time I was their several years ago. This being one of the reasons for not returning. A friend convinced me... More
