We had our office Christmas luncheon at Vivo Restaurant on Bloor Street today, and wow - I was truly impressed! This was my first time at Vivo, and the experience exceeded my expectations. The food was fantastic, and as someone who eats only plant-based meals, I was thrilled by how accommodating they were. They went out of their way to prepare a delicious meal for me.
The atmosphere was wonderful, but what stood out the most was the staff. Despite hosting such a large group, they were incredibly well-organized, attentive, and never seemed rushed. Their genuine care and effort to make our luncheon special did not go unnoticed.
Kudos to management for hiring and training such an exceptional team of servers. I look forward to returning in the new year!

Came in from out of town to try the new menu. Food was well prepared, visually appealing and very tasty. We started with the insalata di radicchio, calamari fritti and prosciutto croquettes. Our second was the Marguerite pizza followed by the spagettoni with zucchini and rigatoni. The service was excellent and the background music set a wonderful ambiance.
Happy to celebrate our anniversary at this place! The food and the service were great!

The perfect spot for really good food near the park with classic and authentic Italian dishes. The new menu is great we had, Vivo salad, Fungi pasta, black cod, sorbet all the dishes were excellent! Thank you to Manuel and the kitchen for a lovely meal.

Ive been to a few different Vivo locations and they’ve all been great. This one though might be the best! Modern and clean interior, great service, and really good food at a great price. I got the croquettes and rigatoni, would 100% recommend.

We love this place! We come here because we can get a delicious antipasto, plate of pasta or pizza, Italian style-without having to go all the way downtown! Manuel provides outstanding recommendations and service. He is parallel to none and truly what every Italian restaurant needs. We love the changes on the menu and will be back soon to try the rest of the new delicious items! Everyone wanting a decent Italian meal with a great ambiance + great service, needs to come here. 5 stars from us.
Tried out the new menu at Vivos flagship location on Bloor. Had the Spaghettoni alla Nerano, the Spaghettoni was cooked perfectly Al Dente. Also tried the Casarecce Pugliese with delicious Sausage and rapini that reminds me of my Nonna's recipe.
The manager Nin greeted me with a big smile and was very attentive and thoroughly explained the new menu and the new direction they want to take Vivo in comparison to their other locations. I've eaten at the Vaughan and Richmond hill locations before. Can't wait to try all the new options.
Next time will try the Pizzas and maybe something off the Not So Secret, Secret menu!
If you have those Pizza and Pasta cravings, this spot will definetly achieve that for you're stomach!

Tasty cappuccino, reasonably priced. Can't wait to go back for the secret pizzas. Holly is the best!

I visited Vivo (Bloor St W) for the first time with two good friends. We had outstanding service, and the food was delicious. I can't eat gluten and that always is limiting in an Italian restaurant, but I was able to substitute a GF penne into most of the pasta dishes and the one I had was fabulous! I was pleasantly surprised!
The food was great and the staff went above and beyond to make my 10 year old feel very special on his birthday, including preparing his favourite pasta dish off menu.

We had Orecchiette con Rapini and SCALOPPINE DI VITELLO and 2 glass of our choice of red wine for our special date that night November 4th. The experience is beyond our expectations, the food are delicious. We live in the area for over 3 years, finally had a chance to try it out and well we will be coming back for sure!!! Mila our waitress is beyond helpful, she is very knowledgeable with the menu and very kind. Worth the try!

Pretty good pizza! The service was kind of slow when I went considering there were only two other tables occupied, but still a decent place.
Vegetarian options: Some veggie pizzas for vegetarians
