Italian
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.

    We were there for our anniversary and it was our first time. The food was simply amazing and truly top notched. We ordered their signature dish, Grilled romaine lettuce salad to start and it was such a unique and enjoyable salad. The grilled tiger prawns were so scrumptious and another of their signature dish, Fettuccine was super delicious and my server said that there was no milk or cream used but only 4 cheese! How wonderful! The entree we chose was Chicken Parmesan Parmigiana and we also added Grilled Brussel sprouts was a very large portion of even two of us sharing. (It was so delicious!) A big kudo to our excellent server, Taylor who was so attentive, pleasant & helpful. We will definitely come back again soon.

    It is a little more expensive but I walked out of there fully feeling like it was worth the money. The staff and the presentation of food were both top notch, but the food itself was great. From the first course all the way to dessert and coffee. I will definetly be back

    Unfortunately, we were seated right next to hostess station and staff members repeatedly coming up behind our seat, reach over the back of the chair to grab items from hostess station as opposed to walking around to the other side (basically taking a short cut). Took away from our meal and was quite rude/inconsiderate. Otherwise the food was phenomenal and our server was fantastic! Next time we’ll be sure to request a different table of being sat there again.

    We had a great time at Vivo Ristorante. The service was great everyone was very nice, in particular Taylor was great! The food was 10/10 and the ambience was quiet because we went on a weekday. Highly recommend, the food and service was totally worth the price.

    Quite disappointed with the food. We had Cesar salad, which was one head of the Romaine lettuce cut in half, grilled and served on a cutting board. The bacon bits were burned, the dressing scarce. The presentation was nice, but the taste was not impressive. We also had home made fettuccine. The pasta was not quite cooked, and seem to have been stuck together. Instead of sauce, it was covered with slices of cheese and nuked in a microwave. The Italian Parmesan is quite salty, and should be used as topping, and not as a sauce. The service was ok, but overall we are disappointed.

    It was my Dads, Brothers and Mom’s Birthdays and we had a table of 9! It was OUTSTANDING. At first a few of us didn’t understand how the menu worked as it’s mainly done up to feed 2 or more people but our waiter explained things thoroughly and there was a lot of food for all of us to go around! Amazing atmosphere. Would totally go back again! Oh and the kicker was the Edmonton Oilers were also there! What a highlight for us!!

    VIsited Vivo for a birthday celebration. There are 2 prices for entree's on their menu (1-2 people & 4-6 people) we were 4. We ordered the 1-2 sizes from the menu and there was plenty of food for all 4 of us to share. Service was excellent, and the food was top notch. After a shared salad an appie, 2 pasta dishes and a protien dish (Pollo) we were so stuffed we couldn't even think about desert. Very enjoyable evening and won't hesitate to experience Vivo again in the future.
