We had our office Christmas luncheon at Vivo Restaurant on Bloor Street today, and wow - I was truly impressed! This was my first time at Vivo, and the experience exceeded my expectations. The food was fantastic, and as someone who eats only plant-based meals, I was thrilled by how accommodating they were. They went out of their way to prepare a delicious meal for me. The atmosphere was wonderful, but what stood out the most was the staff. Despite hosting such a large group, they were incredibly well-organized, attentive, and never seemed rushed. Their genuine care and effort to make our luncheon special did not go unnoticed. Kudos to management for hiring and training such an exceptional team of servers. I look forward to returning in the new year!

Came in from out of town to try the new menu. Food was well prepared, visually appealing and very tasty. We started with the insalata di radicchio, calamari fritti and prosciutto croquettes. Our second was the Marguerite pizza followed by the spagettoni with zucchini and rigatoni. The service was excellent and the background music set a wonderful ambiance.

Ive been to a few different Vivo locations and they’ve all been great. This one though might be the best! Modern and clean interior, great service, and really good food at a great price. I got the croquettes and rigatoni, would 100% recommend.

Tried out the new menu at Vivos flagship location on Bloor. Had the Spaghettoni alla Nerano, the Spaghettoni was cooked perfectly Al Dente. Also tried the Casarecce Pugliese with delicious Sausage and rapini that reminds me of my Nonna's recipe. The manager Nin greeted me with a big smile and was very attentive and thoroughly explained the new menu and the new direction they want to take Vivo in comparison to their other locations. I've eaten at the Vaughan and Richmond hill locations before. Can't wait to try all the new options. Next time will try the Pizzas and maybe something off the Not So Secret, Secret menu! If you have those Pizza and Pasta cravings, this spot will definetly achieve that for you're stomach!

I recently visited Vivo Pizza + Pasta and had a fantastic experience. I tried the Vivo and Salami pizzas, and both were absolutely delicious. The crispy dough and fresh ingredients, especially the cheese, made the pizzas even more flavorful. The restaurant itself is spacious with modern interior designs, creating a perfect atmosphere for a date. The staff were friendly and welcoming, adding to the overall positive experience. The menu offers a variety of pizza and pasta options, and I’m definitely looking forward to trying more on my next visit! Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful lunch experience for two at the Bloor location across from High Park. We shared two generous sized pasta dishes and a salad. The pastas were cooked to perfection and were delicious. The arugula salad was perfectly dressed and not overly done as in other establishments. A perfect spot and we can’t wait to return.

We love this place! We come here because we can get a delicious antipasto, plate of pasta or pizza, Italian style-without having to go all the way downtown! Manuel provides outstanding recommendations and service. He is parallel to none and truly what every Italian restaurant needs. We love the changes on the menu and will be back soon to try the rest of the new delicious items! Everyone wanting a decent Italian meal with a great ambiance + great service, needs to come here. 5 stars from us.

I visited Vivo (Bloor St W) for the first time with two good friends. We had outstanding service, and the food was delicious. I cant eat gluten and that always is limiting in an Italian restaurant, but I was able to substitute a GF penne into most of the pasta dishes and the one I had was fabulous! I was pleasantly surprised!

I have never seen a toilet like that, smells like there is pee sitting there for a week(and there is) We ordered pasta and were sitting close to the kitchen with an open view. The cheff tried the sauce with his fingers and grabbed the pasta barehands. The server took about 15 minutes to come back with drinks. And disappeared right after. Good taste, but I wont come again

I recently dined at Vivo on 7/20/24, and I have to say, their pizza is hands down the best Ive ever had! The crust was perfectly crispy, the sauce was rich and flavorful, and the toppings were fresh and generous. Each bite was a delightful experience. Whoever made the pizza should definitely get a raise. I think it was Tejo who made this. The atmosphere of the restaurant was cozy and welcoming, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. If youre looking for the best pizza in town, look no further than Vivo. Highly recommend!

I particularly love their specials, but basically any food on the menu is amazing pasta pizza, the seating is very comfortable and quit spacious. Bathrooms are wheelchair accessible parking in the neighbourhood is pretty reasonable and it s near high Park which we d love to do after a meal. Also the subway station.

Why is this place still in business? We came as a family of 9 to celebrate a birthday at 5:30 on a Friday night. We sat outside near the condo entrance. The servers are all polite and present themselves well, but that s about it. They are disorganized, forgetful and slow. If there was one server assigned to our table we wouldn t know it because within the 2 hours we spent there at least 4 came by our table to try to rectify each other s mistakes. No one asked if we needed more water halfway through the meal. No one bothered to collect the menus after we ordered. We got some appetizers and then waited 30-40 minutes for our pizzas. When we reminded someone to bring them it seems they were never punched in. The excuse was their system has been down that day. But the waiter had taken the order on a notepad, so the logical thing to do would have been to go to the kitchen and make sure it was received. One of the mains orders, he neglected to write down so when everyone s pizza arrived he went to place the additional order. 15 minutes later one of us went inside to check on it and again it had not been sent to the kitchen. The lack of attention and expediency was blamed on an engagement party happening indoors. If you don t have capacity for more clients, do not take reservations! I went in to us the bathroom and from what I could see the party had pre-made platters of food and no one was attending to them, so it was an empty excuse. They offered us dessert on the house for inconvenience which we did not want because we had brought our own cake and were planning to eat it on the condo rooftop after dinner. The complex and appetizer for the inconvenience and the pizza that never arrived in the first place we asked them to remove a salad that was sent back on account of rotten lettuce. Again, the waiters were polite and apologetic but there was no excuse for the lack of efficiency and service. Having worked in the service industry for more than a decade many years ago, this kind of thing would run your business into the ground. Will never recommend this place, and in fact warm people against going there.

I had an absolute experience at Vivo last night with my wife and Sister in law. The staff was welcoming and helpful, the management was top notch, the patio was clean, comfortable and refreshing, and the food.... dont even get me started. I like to eat, and yesterday I worked up quite the appetite. So in usual fashion I ordered both a pasta and a pizza(rigatoni bolognese and the Prosciutto and arugula pizza). My wife ordered the Cesar salad to start, SIL got the arugula salad with beets and walnuts. These salads were fresh, delicious, and incomparable to others. The Cesar salad has to be the best Cesar I have ever had, and I like my Cesar salads. The arugula salad was absolutely delicious as well, the beets and walnuts brought this new flavor that was refreshing and delicious. My rigatoni showed up, and the portion alone was a good hearty meal. The pasta, perfectly cooked, the sauce was flavorful and robust, and the meal altogether was delicious and well balanced. The pizza arrived, and I have never had a pizza like this before. The crust was divine, the toppings were generous and fresh, and such a wonderful portion of food. We were there for a late dinner last night, and to this very moment, I am still full and satisfied. But then dessert came along... and who can turn down a tiramisu that takes the cake for display, flavor and construction? We were also pointed towards a dessert qe hadnt thought of. A flaked pastry with pistachio cream and topped with chocolate and pistachios.... honestly, otherworldly in flavor and construction. The staff was top notch, the food was amazing, and the desserts are to die for(figuratively speaking). If youre questioning visiting Vivo, do it. Experience it, and try to tell me differently on my review. Cant wait to go back again soon! Thanks to the whole Vivo staff for having us last night!

The 2024 update .a local neighbourhood Trattoria just killing the.Bloor Street scene with the most extraordinary staff service and cuisine. They also hold the honour of having the best patio In high park. They produce modern and classic italian dishes with the highest quality ingredients. Their passion for food and experiences is evident in everything they do. Their visionary and owner Gianluca has developed a lively lounge and bar to compliment their already spectacular dining room. On a recent visit, the Boston (east coast) scallops were beyond this Earth. Innovative and fresh Daily features along with old time favourites co-exist here. The resto is located at the bottom of the Daniels High Park Condo, it is crisp and inspiring with underground parking accessed via oakmount or pacific. Thank you of being such a nucleus to the neighbourhood. You are immensely appreciated. This is a sensational resto with awesome food BUT it is really the SERVICE which excels. I dine here at least 3-4 times weekly. Diego is a star on the floor. Highly engaging, considerate and sharp. Always on the move with flawless and precise service. however he is not alone. Mila, Kayla and Chelsea are epic as well. It is a 100 foot walk from my home to this resto. They have some of the best pastas and salads I have tasted. The Pizza is ridiculous. They have daily specials from Beef tenderloin to delicious Branzino. The presentation of the space, food, and service are always beyond my expectation. Bottomline. . They care. And they deliver.

We stopped in to grab some drinks before heading home for the night, took us little to no time to be seated, but when we told our waiter we only wanted drinks he changed his attitude towards us completely. We haven t been approached if we want refills though our glasses are empty, and when we try to get his attention he frowns at us and walks to other tables. Once we finally stopped him and asked for our bill, he shoved his finger in our face and told us to wait. I am so disappointed and won t ever be returning. Not the place to grab drinks at all.

Just finished. It was wonderful. I came to see the cherry blossoms and got hungry. Started walking and saw the Pizza and Pasta sign outside and thought Great! Let s try it! So happy I did! Great ambiance, well lit (finally a place with light!), not very loud. Food was amazing and very well priced, especially for Toronto. Service was great, and they have a large enough dining room that I could quietly sip my tea after my meal without them running out of tables, even on a Friday. Had the caprese which was quite large, which is nice, and the carbonara, very appropriate portion, filling but not overly so. Tartuffo for dessert, nice rich taste without being too sweet. Really amazing time :)

Man I love this place. Today Joe was my waitstaff and Im thrilled to say the least - very humble and lovely person. Everytime I come here Im always welcomed and fed to perfection. My favourite dish here is the Polo Alla Griglia and the terimisu!! The salads here are also rich with the right ingredients. Super affordable and the atmosphere is so clean and temperature is always right. The view to the park and neutral light from the floor to ceiling windows really adds to the experience. I feel refreshed and nourished when I come here. Music is also subtle and nice. Truly everything is well thought out. Even the booths are extremely comfy and the WiFi was available with no hassle making this my go to spot when I have a client meeting or need a break from the desk but cant stop working.

We got the Capricciosa pizza, margherita pizza, arancini, and tiramisu - great amount of food and would definitely recommend. Looking forward to taking friends here soon. :) (ps if ur having a bad day this is a great place to lift ur spirits)

I went to the place because I found the photos on the internet interesting, but unfortunately when I arrived at the place the pizza tasted burnt. And there were no napkins on the table, just the ones that come with the cutlery, I had to take the cutlery from the other table to get the napkins, there was nothing to pick up the pizza with, and they also didnt put anything on the table to eat with the pizza!

Gianluca and his team at Vivo have created a special dining experience on the edge of one of the most spectacular parks in the City of Toronto. The Prosciutto pizza was packed with savory flavor and perfect crust. If you enjoy Italian food, you will really appreciate this Vivo location. We also enjoyed the friendly and knowledgeable hospitality of our servers, Jessica and Antonio. This Vivo location on Bloor Street is a MUST try if you haven t already been here

Discovered this wonderful spot over the summer of 2023 when I stopped in to have a glass of Pino while passing some time. Interestly, I had had my eyes on this place after walking by several times during my walks through the area. Then came late November, I decided to check it out again for a sit-down-alone, self-care type of evening. I sat at the bar, where Jessicas top-class service resulted in my enjoying three glasses of their mixed house wine Bettero Di Cello. It complimented their Calzone, which surprisingly came as a panzerotto. It was stuffed with salami, mushrooms, black olives and fior di latte. I thoroughly enjoyed the ambiance and the service. Also, Mila was fantastic as she topped the service off and my time spent there really nicely with her smile, warmth, and a complimentary dessert. Bravo to the team and the service. Ill be back again.

What a great deal, I m a picky guy when comes to Italian food because I moved from Italy here, and after many try and being disappointed by various italian restaurants around GTA, I finally find this place where to eat a great authentic Italian food at a reasonable price. There is CLEAN and Safe first of all, and I find this magic atmosphere, a mix of contemporary design with vintage images of Italy, the people working there are always on top of you to make sure that you are happy and comfortable with the them food and service, what more to expect? I wish I can rate 10, not 5, I also tried the location in Major Mackenzie, the best place to eat a good carbonara in GTA so far.

The owner was exceptionally kind. While my friends and I were waiting outside the restaurant, trying to decide whether or not, we wanted to buy anything. We ran into a stranger and asked him any average prices in the restaurant. He ended up saying that apparently he was the owner and he offered to pay for our food, and give us food for free! Honestly, this sounds like a scammer, but it s actually the truth that I can t believe it happened. The food was amazing. We enjoyed the richness of the pasta, the spaghetti. Thank you so much for your good service! This deserves 5 Stars! Kid-friendliness: We are kids. They were very friendly, we could confirm.
