The restaurant is closed yet you allowed us to make a reservation. Please remove this restaurant from your app as we were told they no longer serve as a restaurant merely a school for students.

Our review is for VIVO RESTAURANTE, a very nice and cozy place, with an excellent menu and exquisite dishes.
The attention was excellent from the entire team, but very ESPECIALLY, from Chef Alfredo, the soul of the place.
Not only did we love the restaurant, but also his friendly and professional attention at all times, which shows that this Chef Alfredo has real passion for his work and desires that each client feel at home, and return to LIVE to enjoy a dinner special.
We met several diners and they all also commented on how well they had dined and their intention to return many more times, for the exquisite food, but above all for the attention received.
Congratulations to all the staff and especially to Chef Alfredo, soul of VIVO!

Vivo: A Hidden Gem in the Neighborhood

We had the pleasure of discovering Vivo today, and what an amazing dining experience it was! This quaint, family-owned restaurant serves some of the most delicious food, complemented by excellent service and a warm, inviting ambiance.

We sampled three of their signature cocktails, and each one was absolutely exquisite. For appetizers, we tried the croquetas, which were perfectly crunchy and packed with flavorful ham, as well as the chicken wings—both of which were a hit.

For the main course, we indulged in the steak with shrimp, served alongside fresh veggies and a fried malanga purée ball filled with ground beef. Every bite was cooked to perfection. We made sure to save room for dessert, and the Natilla and flan did not disappoint—both were the perfect sweet ending to a flawless meal.

A special mention goes to Alfredo, the chef-owner, and his wife Dayami, who made sure every detail was taken care of to provide an exceptional experience. Viviana’s attentive service only enhanced the evening.

We can’t wait to return and try more dishes!

Vivo Miami, located in the heart of the city, El flavor Latino is an authentic refuge for lovers of Latin cuisine. From the moment you cross the door you are greeted by a warm and welcoming atmosphere, the menu is a celebration of flavors, with typical dishes from different countries. As a main dish, “Arroz con pollo” took the top prize. The customer service was exceptional, the staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the dishes, thanks to Miss Viviana and Mr. Alfredo for their attention. .Without a doubt it is a place worth visiting.

An excellent option in the west Miami area for a casual dinner
The decor and am since is beautiful, to immerse in a relaxed atmosphere, my only “but” that night I found the volume on ambiance music a little louder.

We found out the place was reopened 2 weeks ago under VIVO name and new menu
Staff is working on update the menu an photos

We indulged literally with the tropical hummus HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
I choose As my main dish the pork tenderloin because the pictures Alberto our server showed us literally sold me into and was greatly impressed with the tenderness and flavor not to forget the detailed presentation, I felt In a 5 stars Michelin restaurant.
The desert was superb guava infused cuatro leches
And espresso was delicately served in a lovely earth tone cups

So many more items on the menu to try
I was recommended by Alberto to try the filet mignon and the yellow tail dishes
On my list for a soon next time

We just had an excellent lunch with my wife and parents at Vivo! You have to try it! We have traveled the world and we’re not easily impressed. But we were impressed today with their fillet, Caesar salad, and dessert. It is amazing! You have to go!
