   Great meal. First time here. My boyfriend and I have been to over 600 restaurants and I have to say this is one of my new favorites. Our waiters Mike and Keith were great. We started with cucumber spritz and lemon dark Expresso and they were awesome. The homemade bread was served hot with herbed olive oil and butter all is can say is yum. The appetizers we ordered the shrimp with apricots and the burrada were fantastic. We followed with entrees short ribs and veal saltimbocca which were beyond our expectations. Cappuccino and Dessert ordered was tiramisu and Penna cotta both were DELICIOUS. Great job 10 out of 10 we will be back soon.

   My wife and I had a fantastic dining experience at Vivacino last night The food and its presentation were outstanding. We enjoyed the Rollatini, absolutely delicious, followed with a Caesar salad. For our main courses my wife had the Chicken Cacciatore and I had the Veal Saltimbocca. WOW, It was the most flavorful Italian food we’ve tasted next to being in Italy. The head chef/owner stopped by the table to hand deliver some food and checked on our satisfaction. There is also a nice selection of wines to choose from and the Cabernet I selected was great. We saved room for dessert and got the Ricotta Pistachio Cake which was also very flavorful. We ended the night with a Limoncello drink. We will definitely will be coming back and highly recommend checking this restaurant out as you won’t be dissatisfied.

   From the moment we walked in, we knew we were in for something special. The warm, inviting atmosphere immediately set the tone for a perfect evening. Every dish we tried was absolutely outstanding — fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and beautifully presented. The homemade pasta was a standout, cooked to perfection and paired with rich, authentic sauces. The service was impeccable as well; our server was knowledgeable and attentive. We even recieved visits from both the owners to see how our evening was going and to speak on the different dishes. You can feel the passion and care in every detail, from the food to the ambiance. This has quickly become one of my favorite Italian restaurants, and I can’t wait to return. Highly recommend to anyone looking for genuine flavor and to taste the true passion in each bite!

   All around this wasn’t a good experience. I should have known being there on a Saturday night at 6:30p when only 40% of the restaurant was full that this wouldn’t be a good option. Food had no flavor. Only one server and although she was pleasant, couldn’t keep up even with only 6 tables occupied.

   Food was really good. Service was slow but I think because too many people came at one time. Waitress was very pleasant but hard to find when we needed her. New owner was very visible and wanted to help out. Biggest issue was the noise level. There was a singer and he was much too loud for that space. We will definitely return because the food was so good.

   Recently changed ownership formerly Buono Bistro so menu quite a bit different and a little more money. Food was very good. Some classics not listed but can be made depending on what.
