Based on the reviews, VIVO! Catering & Venue is a beautiful event space and restaurant with a warm and inviting decor, set in what once was home to Silent Film Actor Rudolph Valentino. The atmosphere is excellent, and the location is mesmerizing with a beautiful view at night, though one room was noted to be very hot and uncomfortable due to a broken air conditioner. The food receives mixed feedback. Many guests found it delicious, incredible, and beautifully presented, with specific mentions of the short ribs being tender and flavorful, and the lobster rolls being a must-have. Vegetarian options are available. However, other reviews describe the food as mediocre Italian or just okay, with the Thanksgiving buffet being fine but not great—the traditional stuffing was bad, and the turkey was pressed breast in a steamer tray. The service is consistently praised as the high point; staff are friendly, attentive, professional, and go above and beyond. Kevin and Valentina are highlighted for their outstanding service, making sure everything runs smoothly. While some find the food disappointing, the venue is highly recommended for hosting a special event flawlessly and stress-free.
