Top tags:

vivo is where Italian comes alive. We relish the enthusiasm and joy with which the traditional Italian meal is prepared and delivered, and seek to recreate that experience for every guest. Our open kitchen showcases our chefs preparing fresh and local ingredients.

When you join us for dinner, expect it to be a relaxing evening lasting a couple hours over several piatti (courses). Your table comes alive when we present a variety of large offerings on platters or bowls within easy reach of all.

A classic Italian pranzo (dinner) usually beings with a variety of antipasti (hot and cold appetizers), followed by one or two primi (usually a hot pasta, risotto, gnocchi or zuppa). Next your table will share a secondi (entrees) served on a platter combined with your choice of contorni (vegetable side dishes). Italians often complete their meal with un dolce, un caffe, or un digestivo (dessert, espresso, liqueur or grappa).
we only use fresh in house made pastas and sauces.

                                                    Been here twice now, ordered the filleto (beef tenderloin) both times and it’s next level delicious! All the pastas I’ve tried are good (have tried 3), best for sharing so you can try more menu options as even the individual portion size is ample. The aranchini and the scallop appetizers are great! I truly think the signature dishes are signature for a reason but really nothing disappoints here, and the service is always top notch. Love how they do reservations on open table and have ample parking making it easy to enjoy a lovely dinner!

                                                    Excellent service and great food. The manager/owner was exceptionally nice and went out of his way to help

                                                    We went here for Mothers Day brunch and it was amazing! Food was amazing, staff was very friendly and we had a great time.

                                                    Celebrating Mother’s Day a day early. Five of us for dinner. Had the full meal deal - appetizers, salad, bread, pasta, sea bass and veggies. And still made room for dessert. We were in the restaurant for almost three hours, with excellent service all night. The food was amazing, my favorite was the scallops appetizer. And as always the fettuccine was perfect. Thanks for the great time. We will be back.

                                                    Nice setting, great Italian food and great service. Was a little noisy despite there not being a lot of people in the restaurant. Fresh cookies for dessert were tasty.

                                                    We love going to vivo and sitting at the counter to watch the talented chefs work on our meal. The staff interaction makes the evening very enjoyable. If you prefer, the table seating is just as nice and the food is great.

                                                    The food is amazing. And Allan our server was too. But the cocktails were very poor quality. It was also a little surprising that they would run out of potatoes by 6:30pm--my husband was not pleased, and while they rectified the issue it held out plates back a bit as well. Highly recommend the caesar salad, the brussel sprouts, the lamb and the chef's plate

                                                    Vivo I was told is too expensive and since I had 7 people we should go somewhere cheaper. I did not find it expensive if I take people out I expect to pay $100 per person including drinks and that was what it cost. The food was excellent, service was great, I will come back again. I think the hardest part was trying to get people to do family service, I gave up and everyone had there own choices, I do feel go with the family service (plates of food you share with the table) this way everyone gets to try the food.

                                                    Excellent as always. Just a little too pricey.

                                                    I have dined many times at this restaurant. Overall it was not terrible but there were some concerns with the wait and the food that went unaddressed by the server.

                                                    The visit to Vivo was our first large family outing since the pandemic and it was absolutely fantastic. We could not have asked for more pleasant staff and service, lovely atmosphere, and delicious food. Thank you so much.

Staff are amazing and we love to sit at the counter and watch the staff cook. I am amazed how they are all smiling and efficient. Super fantastic food and it’s more of a challenge as I’m a celiac. Love this place and 5⭐️

                                                    Good food. Sharing experience. I really like most things a lot. Lobster ravioli was fantastic nut the fettuccine was not that exciting. The room was noisy so hard to hear each other.

                                                    We had our first meal out in a long time at VIVO. Our server Allen went out of his way to make this a memorable experience. Caprese salad, fettuccini, rigatoni,and the Miso platter shared between 5. Food was delicious. Highly recommend.

                                                    Our waiter was excellent, as always. The food was superb. It was maybe a bit on the loud side although it was good to feel busy energy after 2 years of restrictions however it would have been too loud if we had been there to have a good visit with people. We would love to come more often however the price does not allow us to do that but it is a lovely treat when we feel like we want to be decadent and splurg.

                                                    Everything was amazing! We’ve been a few times now and are never disappointed. Took 3 other couples last night who hadn’t been and everyone loved it and can’t wait to go back.
