I just tried to make a reservation online and is not working and I called the number . The girl hold me on hold for 8 minutes..after that she’s asking how can i help telling her that i need to make a reservation and she’s starting to talk with her co worker..she’s didn’t even said please hold again or something..first impression is important so this is the first impression for me.

Had an amazing Italian meal at Vivere, located in the Italian Village of Chicago. The setting is both luxurious and whimsical. Vivere specializes in creating dishes that not only follow the latest trends in Italian cuisine, but also pay homage to its rich culinary tradition. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner.

Great food, service and wine list. Multi generation family owned since the 1920s. A historical and gastronomic Chicago gem!

Amazing place. We have never seen such huge meatballs. The atmosphere in the restaurant is fabulous. We are from Omaha and have eaten there several times and have never been disappointed

Have always enjoyed their pheasant-filled pasta and this most-recent visit failed to disappoint.

Took the lady out for a couples getaway and found this restaurant on Google. Considering I couldn't pronounce a damn thing on the menu, it had to be fancy-right? Food was not portioned to my liking but it was absolutely delicious, we had a waiter that never let our water glasses get half full and the waitress we also had was very formal with her menu knowledge. If you're looking for first-class experience, vivere is a place to go for sure. Just make sure you're prepared to pay! Oh yeah, always leave a good tip too.

Rigatoni was BOMB. Buffalo mozzarella was ok. Cute little old school Italian vibe. Service was good.

Delicious dinner. Gluten Free pasta available which is a plus for me. Chocolate Panna Cotta dessert was fabulous!

Vivere is conveniently located near the theater district. The food is elevated Italian, so be prepared to pay more. The dessert wasn't that good. Service was solid, but not exceptional. I would recommend simply based on convenience of the location.

Cozy bar with a knowledgeable bartender! Great place to have a drink with friends. Food and service were excellent. The wine steward was terrific. He helped us pick out a wonderful Amarone! We had a terrific time and will come back soon!

I actually liked the food and customer service, fantastic location close to my residence. The cashiers are always welcoming. Will come back again.

Vivere is part of The Italian Village which is a Chicago institution. We hadn't been in ages and it was really good. I ordered dinner based on the wine steward's wine recommendation and it was a great pick. We most often downtown before the CSO and will definitely return

Outstanding food and service. Too much to comment on each dish, simply delicious and must try.

This is restaurant week in Chicago We had tried Spiaggia Cafe..for lunch just so-so...we were disappointed Vivere was sooo much better: duck ravioli with a very delicious sauce, excellent squash soup..dessert..a cake with chocolate..not the strongest part of the menu Recommend Vivere..which, I did not know, is part of the Italian Village
