Stained glass & a fireplace set the tone for seasonally inspired Italian fare & a 200+ label cellar.
Exceptional food and outstanding service at this classy casual, lovely restaurant. We had a lovely experience tonight seating at the bar, Tarey was just delightful. We enjoyed the Bruschetta for appetizer, as well as the delicious warm bread served before our food. The Lasagna and Spinach and Ricotta Crespelle were mouthwatering and generous. Every dish we saw pass by looked buonissimo as well, and cocktails leaving the bar looked just as good. All staff we interacted with, were very attentive and professional. Everything was great! Highly recommended 👌 👍
IT was a good place not great (much better options in the area) but this place has been around for a long time. To be honest, the staff seem to have absolutely no humility (just my opinion) and they make the customer feel like they are very little. The food is okay but perhaps a bit too sophisticated for me. The atmosphere is very nice and they have fabulous music to compliment dinner. I wish they had dishes that were more familiar but perhaps this is the market they cater to. I will not be back.
Trevor our server was an absolute pleasure, wine selections exceptional, beautiful ambiance and delicious Italian menu.
Went here for a wedding anniversary tonight, service was WONDERFUL, the food was extremely fancy, the overall vibes were great and I really liked the staff, we had 2 waiters (servers?) and they were polite, attentive and very good at their jobs. You can bring in a cake, or deserts and they will serve it for you. I would absolutely recommend this!!
Ate here for the 1st time. Trevor served us. He was wonderful and courteous. Food was great. There was a person playing the grand piano
Vibo is excellent in every manner. Service, ambience, food were all top notch. Corina served us & she was a delight. Very professional, polite & informative. Excellent service! The food was simply delicious. We had the grilled octopus, Osso bucco special, Arancini, lamb pasta, cod & lasagna. Everything was simply divine! We ended our meals with tiramisu, chocolate cake & the cheesecake. Perfect ending to a great night! Highly recommend Vibo! 💯 Update June 15th 2024- Wonderful experience yet again at VIBO! My third visit in less than 6 months. Food, drinks/wine & service were all exceptional once again. Ian was truly outstanding with his professional, informative & personable service. He was truly a delight as Corina was on our previous visit. Corina actually remembered me from our last visit months ago & stopped by our table to say hello. So warm & genuine in every manner. Wonderful young lady! Ian engaged in genuine conversation with us during our dinner & recommended a great bottle of Cabernet which was simply divine. VIBO is ONE of the BEST Italian restaurants in Etobicoke. You would be remiss if you did not dine here for fine Italian fare. They also have a wonderful patio which is perfect for those summer nights! We devoured the calamari, beef carpaccio, lamb pasta & pollo dish. We topped it off with the molten chocolate cake with vanilla bean ice cream. Everything was fantastic! Thank you again Ian! We’ll be back again soon.
First time to this restaurant and we had positive experience. The atmosphere was great, service was top notch and food was good. Our kids loved the gnocchi and lasagne. The seafood linguine I had was good, a bit underseasoned but I do recommend this restaurant if you come by the neighborhood!
We had an excellent experience at Vibo Restaurant. The authentic Italian flavours and contemporary cuisine were amazing, and the comfortable atmosphere with a wood burning fireplace and live piano music really added to the atmosphere. The location, cleanliness, and service were top notch. Our server, Joe, was very knowledgeable and kept on checking our table. The food was delicious and the decorations, including the great wallpapers of traditional Italian culture, made for a great dining experience. The washrooms and restaurant were cozy but comfortable. The only issue we had was that we were not allowed to take pictures at the bar. Also, the website says that there is handicapped accessible seating, but we couldn't find any when we visited. In summary, it was a great experience and we would highly recommend Vibo Restaurant. There are some minor things that can be improved, but overall we had a great time and looking for going back.
Good food, amazing welcoming service!
Outstanding food. Great atmosphere with live music. There is no need to shout t because the music had the perfect sound level, no TVs thank God
Had an excellent time at ViBo. Nice staff and great food, I highly recommend it!
Great private event. Lots of god food and service.
Was really happy with everything, until paying the bill the server had to remind us the tip was not included. Not impressed and we found it extremely rude.
Went for dinner last night the food was excellent, a extensive menu,nice atmosphere our server Ian very pleasant made our evening out enjoyable.
Not a huge fan of having to cut up my lettuce and spread my dressing on a caesar salad, but the food itself, service and awesome local feel/hospitality make it great and an institution on The Kingsway.
The service and the food was excellent the seafood marinara was the best.
Tremendous. Absolutely tremendous
I was not impressed by the service took way to long for the servers to take the orders and felt kind of rushed after to eat... I wouldnt recommend this place
Came here about 6 months ago and still think about this place. I don t usually leave reviews but I really had to commend this restaurant. We loved everything we ordered, from the bruschetta down to the mains. There was live piano and you can tell the chefs really care about the quality of food they send out. Looking forward to coming back here one day
We ve been to Vibo a handful of times and have enjoyed the experience, which is why we recommended it when dining out with another couple. Since we dine out quite often, they asked us to pick a place. Unfortunately, this recent visit was a bit of a letdown in terms of service. Our server didn t introduce himself and when all of us had arrived, he abruptly said, since I m here, I ll just tell you the specials. While the specials sounded great, when I asked for a reminder later, he gave us an oversimplified list: cod, lamb, snapper without any details. He didn t bother to recommend anything on the menu, and when he gave us the short version of the specials, we were a little put off by his lack of effort, so we didn t bother asking for any recommendations either. There was no warmth or connection from the server, which impacted the overall experience. On a positive note, we were greeted by a very lovely lady at the front, and she was equally gracious when we left, which was a pleasant part of the evening. We opted for cocktails instead of wine, though one of our guests mentioned she would have a glass of white later in the evening. The server simply picked up the wine glasses and never circled back with her regarding that glass of wine. On a brighter note, the cocktails were great the French Martini is highly recommended, and the St. Germain m/Prosecco cocktail is nice and light as well. The food, as always, was delicious. We started with the Caesar salad (which could use more oomph), the beef carpaccio, and the caprese salad. The caprese was absolutely delicious, and the carpaccio was good too. Our mains were linguine and clams, lasagne, cod with Argentinian shrimp (outstanding), and the Zuppa de Pesce. While the Zuppa de Pesce was excellent, the fish was very undercooked. When we mentioned it to our server, he asked if I wanted another piece, but what would have been more appropriate was simply correcting the dish without asking. For dessert, we had the sticky toffee pudding and the molten lava chocolate, and both were divine the chocolate lava cake especially stood out. In hindsight, I wish I had approached the very pleasant lady at the front and asked if we could be moved to another section with a different server. It may have made the evening more enjoyable for everyone. The overall ambiance of the restaurant is great. They had a piano player that evening, which added a nice touch to the atmosphere. I m not sure if that s a regular thing, but it certainly elevated the experience. While the food at Vibo continues to impress, the service needs improvement. Service makes or breaks a dining experience, and in this case, it left us feeling a bit disappointed. My husband and I felt somewhat let down that we had recommended this spot to our friends.
This is a cozy restaurant. We had a nice table toward the sitting area that was very nice, instead of one of us looking at the wall the whole time. That was very thoughtful! We ordered Calami (nothing special) with that night spacial salad, chicken Capellini pasta and steak to share. The pasta was very nice and fresh, liked the steak too. The Martini was not very good but the Gin and tonic was very delicious. Staff were very nice, specially the ladies. I have to say that i did not appreciate the condescending attitude of the host at the entrance. Found him a bit rude!
Not too sure if it was an off night but the food was super sub par the live piano and the service awesome but the food was not worth the price.
My favourite Italian restaurant! The food here always impresses and the service is beyond your expectations. Great place for birthdays and date night.
Amazing restaurant, amazing staff!
Great food and wines love the staff
The Penne a la Vodka was really very good. Had a great dinner on their side patio, and the service was excellent.
A bit outdated but delicious food and great service. Thank you.
First time at this spot. Amazing service and quality. Even for a large group. The Branzino was perfect. I ll definitely be back.
Great classy restaurant, the food was tasty. We had the lamb and Rabbit, both highly recommended
I am an old man, and in all my years I never tasted anything as good as the bruchetta and creme brule here. I would drive for hours for food that good!!! Rack of lamb and coffee were pretty good too...but the bruchetta and creme brule? ....absolutely heavenly!!
One of my favourite places for over 40 years! Always excellent service and delicious meal. It was a special celebration and Vibo was a great choice!
ViBo always has a great meal and the specials can carry you away blissfully from your old menu favorites! I even eat the spinach the way they prepare it! Dietary restrictions: The chef is very good about working around your allergies! Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs ( except to private banquet hall) and washrooms are fine.
Summerlicious brought us to this restaurant. The menu was very complete and the food delicious. Highly recommend
Had the seafood linguini and it never disappoints!
Food and setting were excellent for our rehearsal party dinner of 15. Server Ian was amazing...very friendly and knowledgeable. Hadnt been to ViBo in a few years, but coming back to etobicoke, it was a nice place to revisit and enjoy time with family! Dietary restrictions: Ian took care of my dietary issues perfectly
Great food wonderful staff
Summerlicious
This restaurant is beautiful! The decor is classy and has a nice ambiance. A gentleman was playing the piano the night we went. Service was amazing and the food was delicious. Our waiter was very attentive and friendly.
I attended a dinner in their private room. To red or yellow service was great. The food was really good. Overall, a great experience and definitely need to try this place if you havent.
My Favourite place to go on date night!
My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful meal in the lovely setting that is VIBo. Our veal paccata was an splendid choice to go along with a refreshing apple pecan salad and delicious soup du jour. Agnes was a delightful server and looked after us very well. Cant wait to go back. A true Kingsway gem.
We actually came to the area to go to a different restaurant that happened to be closed and found this place instead. We didnt know what to expect but were pleasantly surprise. Decorated like an old-world Italian restaurant. The food and service were both great. Will come back again.
Birthday party for dear friend. Atmosphere was great. Food perfect. Service excellent. All together a wonderful evening. Highly recommend
Our waiter was terrible he did not listen to any of our instructions he waited until the end to prepare our take out order and when I received my food I had gobs of tomatoes in it .
The service and food here were outstanding. Every dish was perfectly cooked (we were there on Mothers Day and focused on seafood dishes). It was our first time there but certainly wont be the last.
Amazing place !! Food is superb and atmosphere great !
The food was delicious and the service was good
As usual, my lunch yesterday with two friends was a special event, from 1:00 to 3:30 PM. Excellent food and superior service. Staff are attentive and knowledgeable. One of the best restaurants in Toronto.
An excellent restaurant with stellar service and outstanding food.
Excellent Excellent Excellent! Have been a few times. once for dinner for 2, which was fantastic. Service excellent and food was great. Also hosted a 50 person event on a Sunday. The staff was excellent. Dealing with Agnese was amazing. She was very easy to deal with. The food was incredible and everyone raved about the restaurant. Best Italian in Etobicoke.
Vibo is such a timeless classic gem. The food is always fantastic. The service is always so great. We always look forward to celebrating a special occasion here and have done so many many times over the years.
Food was amazing and fresh! A very nice and beautiful restaurant ! Customer service was great and very friendly!
Came at 5 right when it s open for dinner and was told at the door that it s fully booked for the night. we asked if we could come in and sit at the bar as we drove all the way to get here and already paid for parking. They let us through the front door. Then we spoke to the hostess and asked why we can t have a seat for a quick bite. She said it s booked for the leafs game. We said we would be quick if she can accommodate us and only then we were offered a table but told we need to leave by 6pm. First of all, the leafs game is at 8 not at 5PM and secondly there is no TV here in the dining room to watch any Tv at all not sure where all the fully booked tables went to watch the game Also, here s a picture of how fully booked they were. This was taken at 5 when we got in and when we left there were only 3 of these tables seated. The experience at the front door definitely left a bad taste we spent close to $200 for an hour at the table and felt rushed and it was even worst feeling leaving and seeing all the empty seats. Also, almost all restaurants I know have seats kept for walk ins we came right when they opened the doors. I came here before and spoke highly of this place. Will not recommend this experience to anyone especially not for the price.
Always can get a table!
Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Went for winterlicious, will definitely be back.
Had a wonderful Winterlicious lunch at VIBO, pasta cooked al dente with seafood, lovely beet and chèvre salad. Chocolate brownie with walnuts for dessert. Great service and attractive atmosphere, would go back for sure!
Really great food and atmosphere
They never let me down!
Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, delicious food! Our server was Alex and he was fantastic! Cant wait to go back soon!
It is hard to find a resturant with live piano music and the price and food are good. The severs dressed very traditional uniform with friendly smile. They make u feel like u are really being served... Whole atmosphere makes u feel like this should be a resturant look like...However, they really need to change their old dirty chair...most of them are broken on the surface....
Service and food were amazing!
When it comes to food, I am very picky. I tried their grilled calamari and pappardelle&lamb ragu. Their food is A1. But what actuality makes a restaurant five star is their service. The whole restaurant is a family itself and everyone is very polite and friendly. 5 star experience there you go folks.
What a wonderful night at Vibos. Starting off with the ambiance and the piano player was a truy elegant experience. The food was DELICIOUS! Every course just melted in your mouth. Its such a beautiful hidden gem in Etobicoke.
Ate Dinner at Vibo last night with a group of friends and we had the most incredible night. The food was absolutely amazing and our server made us laugh the whole night. I will definitely be coming back. Such a warm family feeling at this restaurant.
Was there for a late holiday lunch. Staff and service was excellent. The food was fantastic. All around great experience.
Friendly staff but the food quality is supremely overrated. You could easily make the same dishes at a lower cost. Service: 4/5 Food quality:1-2/5
Always a pleasure to go to ViBo. The service, atmosphere, and especially the food are always top notch! A true staple in the community.
The interior decoration was very good. I didn t really like the food. For me the food was very flat. Everyone has a different taste.
So, so good.
Excellent service and super delicious food for valentine, Waiter shiv was super polite, very helpful and very caring.
Came here for a work dinner so the menu was Prix Fixe. Chefs kiss, service was great, and ambiance wasnt too bad either!
Had a valentine dinner. Nice location, clean, elegant environment. Tasty foods, excellent service. Not impressed when the server Z ..T brought the bill with a payment machine right after we finished the desert. We felt like we had to leave while lots of guests were present. It s kind of unexpected in a fine dining restaurant and when paying almost $300 incl. 20% tips.
Booked this place for Valentines after seeing some good reviews online. Bill ended up being $250 and they force tipped themselves 20%. They did not even have the option to remove it .... Food and Ambience were okayish but nowhere close to the price paid. Edit: Discussed situation with owner. Great management upping prices due to changing demands. Still dont believe that mandatory tipping should be added but owner had some strong justifications. Upping review.
Absolutely over the top!! I would give them over 200%. Best place to dine in Toronto. Staff is friendly, Knowledgeable, they have a good sense of humor They make the Best Liver & Onions I have ever tasted. You wont be disappointed.
A fantastic place to enjoy a great meal in a relaxed atmosphere in the heart of Etobicoke. Thank you for your hospitality!
Good food,service and experience
Great food, great service and great atmosphere make ViBo a great dining experience. This family owned Italian restaurant has a menu full of classic Italian dishes plus some with a ViBo twist. The staff are so friendly and very helpful. The decor and furnishings are high class and they are very child friendly with high chairs etc available. The food is cooked to perfection and the servings are plentiful. The wine list is extensive and full of variety. ViBo is Highly recommended! Vegetarian options: Many dishes can be provided. Kid-friendliness: They are super child friendly. Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is all on one level with no stairs anywhere.
Elevating comforting Italian with exceptional service. Beef carpaccio, rabbit, branzino are all delicious. The cream brulee was my hubbys fav.
First time visiting. Braised beef just melts in your mouth. We had a party of 10, every plate was clean. Very friendly staff.
My husband and I used to come here for special occasions for the past 47 years. It is still a great restaurant with excellent service and great food.
Upper scale Italian restaurant, service is akin to this, food was good, but felt a little basic.
Unfortunately my experience here wasn t the greatest. I ordered the steak and decided to add the shrimp for an extra $16, When I got the plate there was only 2 pieces of shrimp. The steak only comes with fries and wasn t given any choice with the steak. On top of that, it seemed like someone just poured a ton of salt on both the fries and steak. Not a single vegetable for $46 plus the $16 extra. I definitely expect a plate with at least a skewer of shrimp for the extra $16. I also don t understand why there was soo much salt that it seemed like sugar covering my plate. Being with a table of a total of ten people, with all the money we spent it was disappointing to say the least.
great place!
Went there on a Friday night with some friends. It was busy but we still got our food within a reasonable time and it was better than I remembered it. Will definitely go back soon!
The service alone was fantastic. The food and beverages were awesome. They were very accommodating for our group. A place worth visiting for sure!
Great restaurant. Food is amazing. Everything is quite good. Our go to, for Italian cuisine.
It was a good experience but honestly a little overpriced it costs $20 for penne rigate? it costs $5 a box! The sauce was watered down though.
When dining out, the mark of a truly exceptional restaurant is not only its culinary prowess but also the warmth and dedication of its staff. At Vibo Restaurant, the embodiment of this outstanding service comes in the form of a wonderful server named Pauline. Her professional grace combined with an unparalleled commitment to ensuring each patron feels genuinely cared for, adds a layer of warmth to the dining experience that is as comforting as it is unique. This, coupled with Vibo s spectacular food, guarantees a dining experience that transcends the ordinary. Its not just about the food on your plate; its about the feeling of being special, of being taken care of, and no one does that better than Pauline at Vibo Restaurant. From the moment I walked through the doors of Vibo Restaurant, I knew I was stepping into a culinary oasis that would surpass my wildest dining expectations. If theres one thing that Vibo masters, it is the harmonious marriage of unparalleled service and gastronomic excellence that leaves an indelible mark on its patrons. Nestled comfortably in the heart of the city, Vibo Restaurant sets the tone with an inviting ambiance that whispers elegant simplicity. The tastefully curated decor complemented by a well-lit setting envelopes you in an atmosphere of comfort and luxury, setting the stage for a dining experience that is nothing short of sublime. The pièce de résistance of my visit was undoubtedly the AAA steak that took my taste buds on an adventure of their own. The meat was cooked to perfection - tender and juicy with every bite infusing a burst of flavors that lingered long after the meal. Paired with a carefully selected wine list, the dish elevated the dining experience to celestial heights. While the food certainly holds its own, what sets Vibo Restaurant apart is the exemplary service provided by the staff. My server, Pauline, was a testament to this ethos. She elevated the whole dining experience, attending to us with a professionalism and charm that was genuine and heartwarming. Her intuitive understanding of our needs and her quick action to fulfill them not only satisfied our expectations but went far above and beyond them. Pauline s incredible knack for detail, from suggesting dishes based on our preferences to ensuring our glasses were never empty, transformed our visit into an intimate dining experience thats rare to find. Her infectious energy and dedication to providing a memorable dining encounter were evident in every interaction, making the evening all the more enjoyable. To encapsulate, Vibo Restaurant is not just about excellent food; it s about a holistic dining experience. This culinary gem offers a blend of exquisite cuisine and extraordinary service that is inimitably refreshing. Its an epicurean haven where food meets art and service exceeds perfection. To anyone in search of a dining experience that tickles your taste buds and warms your heart, Vibo Restaurant should be your go-to destination. And when you do visit, ask for Pauline - your culinary guide who will ensure you leave with a smile on your face and a desire to return.
Highly recommended. Food was exquisite and service very professional
It was a good experience overall. We went for an office team dinner and the server was very efficient and knowledgeable
Love this place! My go to for Italian food.
Excellent food and service, made us feel right at home.
A+ Fantastic always
We booked ViBo for a rehearsal dinner on a Thursday evening. We had 13 people in their private room. The dinner was excellent and the atmosphere was great. Peter was our server and everything was on time and we were never rushed. Also Joy, who co - ordinated the menus beforehand was so helpful. Always followed up in a timely manner. Definitely looking forward to coming back to this restaurant.
Delicious traditional Italian food with a modern twist. Excellent service. Piano during dinner was elegant with a great selection of songs. Paulina is an amazing server. Dinner started with an asparagus, cherry tomato and Camembert salad and a lightly breaded, tender calamari ..so delicious! I had snapper with Argentinian shrimp with grilled veggies and potatoes. Delicious and perfectly seasoned. My husband had a steak with fries (rare treat out of choice). The steak was prepared to perfection as he requested. It was quite loud due to the number of large parties celebrating birthdays (just an observation, not complaining). The table next to us ordered tagliatelle with seafood in a light tomato and garlic sauce. We could hear them remarking as to how delicious it was. My husband will definitely order that next time .. We will definitely go again. P.S. reservations are a must. This is a busy place with many local regular customers.
Positive experience
Went to Summerlicious event. Good selection of appetizers, entrees and desserts. The restaurant is beautiful and the best part was the piano player. He was great and played a good selection of music from different eras. I had the cured beef and greens for appetizer and it was wonderful. The beet salad and polenta fries were very good too. My entree of chicken marsala not as good. Mushrooms rubbery and sauce was just a tasteless gravy. The squash ravioli was a big hit. The star of the entrees was the pork tenderloin with pecan sauce. The lamb and fish entrees were OK. All three desserts were delicious. The $55 price for three courses was well worth it. We enjoyed our time there and I would go back anytime. Normal menu more expensive but food, service and atmosphere worth the trip. Vegetarian options: They had a few options available. Parking: Street parking that you have to pay for. No restaurant parking. Busy area sometimes hard to find parking. Kid-friendliness: Saw a couple of kids. Probably a bit too sophisticated for young kids. Wheelchair accessibility: Not really accessible and restrooms too narrow for wheelchairs to have easy access.
Delicious food, nice atmosphere, but poor service, our waitress was not really sociable.
Good but expensive. Decent portion size. A bit too fancy for us but definitely a good place to go if you are looking for a fancy night out
The team of Vibo from server to the ownership was truly amazing. The appetizers and the main course fish was made to perfection. If I was able to give it 6 stars I would. Kid-friendliness: Great service 5 stars
Great food, and the piano player played happy birthday for our birthday girl. Fantastic!
ViBo was a very good restaurant, the food was absolutely spectacular, prices are reasonable for a sophisticated ristorante as it is. My only knock was that the music was a little to loud for ambient sound but service food and drink were stellar.
Wheelchair accessibility: Entrance is wheelchairs accessible but NOT the washrooms, even the walker is almost impossible to squeeze in through the washroom doors plus inside is extremely small area even for two people to move! Restaurant seem to have plenty of room perhaps the single washroom could be built !? I use the walker and at each time I visited Vibo, I had extremely hard time getting in and out of their restroom. At this visit I asked the staff if there is more accessible WC they said no, they were not too interested or empathetic..
Reliably excellent Italian food, great service and ambience. My favorite is pan seared fish with lemon butter sauce. Never disappoints. Vegetarian options: Several vegetarian pasta dishes including amazing gnocchi.
Lovely place. Servers were super attendant. Food came out at an excellent pace! So delicious and very accommodating. I highly recommend this place.
Excellent
Delicious pasta an appetizers. Some of the bruschetta I ve ever had in my life!
Quality food. Friendly service. A local gem.
Great food served in style and an amazing collection of drinks makes this place a perfect place for an entertaining and enjoyable experience. The restaurant boasts a decent selection of Italian cuisine and the authenticity of flavours is definitely worth checking. Really enjoyed the food and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of flavours and perfect balance of spices and sauces.
Really appreciate the very nice service
Great experience at Vibo, great things all around. The papardelle lamb ragu was to die for!
We live around the area and I was craving Italian food, so we made a reservation at Vibo not knowing what to expect. So glad we decided to go here! The staff is amazing and our server was extremely knowledgeable. The place was packed given it was a Friday evening, but we had a great time there. We tried the bruschetta, the eggplant parmigiana and the pappardelle, which was delicious! We also tried some wine, which was really delicious. The beer was overpriced ($9) according to my partner, but the rest of the meal was pretty good for the price.
Excellent restaurant with fantastic food and superb service!
Greet food and an excellent wine list as well. The team at VIBO does it right !!
Excellent food. A bit noisy at lunch.. but great service and good location.
great food and service Vegetarian options: very accomodating for vegan Food : 5/5 |
Some of the best(italian) food in the west end
Booked a table for a fancy anniversary dinner and wasnt disappointed. I had the osso buco and it was delicious Dietary restrictions: Gluten free friendly
Always has a buzz. Good atmosphere, music, service and food. A can t miss dinner. Modern in the front and traditional in the back separated by a bar where you can grab a drink with food service.
Delicious food, good and friendly service, comfortable seating. And, bonus, parking close by. Dietary restrictions: They were able to handle gluten-free. Parking: Alongside the building
Food is decent. Liked the appetizers (calamari, mussels, shrimp). My main was a miss though, had the osso buco special. Meat was dry. A bit pricy for what you get. The atmosphere is nice and elegant.
Great food, vibe, and staff!
I had an amazing experience today for lunch from the ambience, outstanding service and the authentic Italian food. It is a perfect place for lunch or dinner.
The grilled calamari with salad is exquisite! Also the daily special pasta was great. The service is extraordinary. This place is a real find & I will definitely return.
Excellent service and delicious food.
Service was very attentive. The desert was very memorable; fresh and delicately sweet.
Came on Wednesday for lunch. Food and atmosphere was amazing. Ordered apple pecan salad, fettuccine bolognese, linguine marinara, and grilled octopus. The pasta was fresh and the seafood was cooked to perfection. They have a great wine selection and their grappa is superb. Highly recommend if you like quality food and excellent service.
Amazing Tasty
Love this place. We are repeat customers. The salad appetizer special last week was the best salad I have ever eaten. We ll be back.
Great job again! Tonight we celebrated my daughters engagement! The food was outstanding but as good as it was the service was even better! Thank you for making our evening special.
Really enjoyed the brushketta
Decently priced Italian restaurant. Appetizers are pricey for the quantity they offer in the appetizers but the main entrees are priced nicely for the quantity they give. Not fresh in house made pasta rather store bought pasta. Tomato sauce is alright. Had the Ricotta cheese cake which tasted great. Overall if you are accustomed to great Italian restaurants, this place is not one of them.
I had my step-daughters bridal shower at VIBO this past weekend, and from planning to execution, the whole experience was exceptional! To begin, Agnese (the manager) assisted me with each detail in planning the event. She paid close attention to the details and made me feel very confident and comfortable from our very first meeting,. She was extremely professional and very easy to work with. I owe her a debt of gratitude for her patience and understanding! Then, on the day of the event, the staff that attended our party of 50 was outstanding! They were wonderful to the guests and checked in with me regularly to ensure everything was running smoothly. The food was delicious - compliments to the chef! Honestly, it could not have gone any better - I would not hesitate in hosting another event at VIBO!! Thank you so much for all you did for us!! Iolanda F.
Ive been to Vibo several times, and it is becoming The Place. Food is and wine selection is enormously enourmous. Staff though is what gives this place a unique touch. ..my name is Elvis, and I feel no short of Elvis Presley the second I walk in. Thank you Vibo Staff, and thank you in particular to Agnes and Jason.
Luca continues the triumphant legacy of his parents Resto (Villa Borghese), with his exceptional interpretation of what a dining experience should be. VIBO represents not only his pedigree and their aspirations but ultimately something truly extraordinary. Always striving for more and never resting on their past successes. Their menu is always evolving with fresh, local and relevant combinations. Classics are given modern inputs that elevate and amuse diners. The menu is wide but carefully curated. All dishes are presented with substance and quality. Their wine list is fantastic very approachable but also extremely well stocked if your searching for something rare and special. The service is staffed by mature fine-dining professionals, many of whom are career servers, dedicated to their craft and this institution. The dining room features an array of seating options, from booths to a stunning bar area and the front area (with fireplace) that can accommodate larger groups. The patio is around the side and superbly organized and presented with gorgeous lighting. They also offer and event space on the second floor, that I celebrated many of life s milestones. I am submitting this review having had three recent outings there and over 50 dinners there in the last decade. If you want to enjoy a memorable dinner, you will be very hard pressed to find a better Resto. Very much worth a visit. Friendly and Generous in spirit and food. You arrive as a guest, you leave as part of the family. Way to go VIBO, cheers to another 50 years in the community and city.
I would give this place 10/10. Me and my friend came here couple of weeks ago. We we re so hungry so started with a salad.It was delicious. Then I ordered Cornish Han with risotto,it just hit the spot perfect, exactly what I was craving for. Then we decided to have some dessert. My girlfriend took the cream brûlée I took the tiramisu!Both we re absolutely delicious! It s a must try dessert! I didn t know how good tiramisu can be until I tried Vibo s homemade one. Highly recommend this place. Price is not cheap, but you pay for what you get!!
The food is pretty good. A bit old school but executed well. The service staff, however, specifically the older guys, are rather arrogant. Not really all that welcoming and a bit rude. Our server barely ever looked in my wifes direction even when she was ordering. We experienced this in Italy but not appropriate for Canada. Our server also didnt tell us about the feature items until after we ordered and forgot half the ingredients as he was telling us about them. We wont be back.
We had a great experience here last week. Very friendly service and yummy food. There s a patio around the corner and a private dining area on the second floor. They also have free wifi.
Nice place. Pretty loud so a bit difficult to have a conversation. Lovely live music (pianist). A little expensive for the portion served.
We had a group of 12 of us here for a work lunch and the service and food were absolutely fabulous! Everything was fresh and well-prepared, and the servers were very attentive. The cocktails were also stellar! I would recommend ViBo to anyone!
This restaurant was such a great discovery! Inside the restaurant, it had a really great, warm and inviting atmosphere that didn t feel like a ordinary restaurant. Servers were so attentive and helpful, and always made sure to check in and see how everything was. Food was absolutely amazing the Cornish hen was so delicious with the most tender and soft chicken and creamy risotto that paired extremely well. It seemed like lamb was a really popular dish there so we also tried lamb and it blew our mind. It was cooked perfectly and very tender, and well seasoned. Desserts were really good too! Would definitely come back to try other dishes on the menu!
Went after reading reviews but didn t find it extraordinary and some servers are pretty rude.
Had a bad experience with food and service. Was visiting town for a business meeting and we went there for dinner. Food didnt taste good. Had rhe Zuppa dish. Not good at all. Fish smelled and had bones, so be careful if you end up ordering it. The minestrone soup was the only good food I tasted.. Will never eat here again. Maybe your experience is better, but mine was the worst.
Waiter service was excellent and his suggestions were spot on. Provini veal its to die for I recommend. Food : 5/5 |
Saw the good reviews and came here but sadly not what i expected. I had the crespelle with spinach ricotta filling and my partner got a classic lasagna. The ricotta filling was very dry which kind of ruined the dish and the tomato sauce was just okay. The lasagna didnt have enough filling between the layers and at times it felt like the ragu was actually a tomato sauce. Wouldve been nice to have salt and pepper at the table too. Service was very nice but the food just disappointed both of us.
Appetizers are great, mains are bland and dont taste great at all. Recommend takeout for the appetizers. Seems this restaurant has gone a bit downhill from the recent reviews.
Ive done a tour of Italy and I can honestly say that the food at Vibo is not only comparable - in some cases, its actually better. The tiramisu is identical to what I had in some expensive restaurants around Florence and Rome. Its a must get to end your meal. The wine is simply excellent. They have many selections that you cant get from the LCBO.
Great food @ reasonable prices. Near Royal York subway station.
My family and I had an excellent time tonight! The service was impeccable, the food came to our table promptly, and tasted delicious! A pianist came in and played some wonderful tunes through the night. Thanks to the whole team at Vibo for an unforgettable evening!
I showed up early. They were very welcoming. Trevor took exceptional care. Food was terrific. Looking forward to my next visit.
Birthday Celebration, delicious food excellent service
Food was amazing, great atmosphere .
Our family celebrated our granddaughters baptism in the private room upstairs. We cant say enough about our positive experience and will be sure to book our functions here again in the future. The food was outstanding and plenty of it. The service was incredible. They were all so attentive and everyone was very pleasant. We had an amazing day! Thank you Vibo for bringing it all together for us and making us all feel so welcome.
