First time here and food was served hot and good. Appetizers and main course meal came out in a timely manner which I appreciate. Friendly staff clean, environment, a/c running strong in there. Pricey but worth it and will go back to try other options on the menu.
Great place for a quick Italian bite! The food exceeded expectations in every way. We stopped in while on the north side of town and couldn’t have been more please. The service lacked a bit but I think our waiter was just busy with a lot of tables - totally understandable.
The house meatballs were a fantastic starter. We then got one of THE BEST carbonara’s I’ve ever tried. Ate the entire thing even though we were full. Oops. When the pizza came out it didn’t look impressive but the ingredients and bottom crisp were so flavorful and delicious.
If you’re in the mood for some fantastic Italian food in a very casual setting, this place is a must try.
Casual settings with a nice bar area.
Service was wonderful.
Had a group of four and we all loved our pasta dishes. Everything tasted fresh and the sauces tasted like they were house made. Prices were 20-30 per plate and portions were perfect.
The wine list was impressive for a causal place and the wines did not disappoint.
Would highly recommend snd would return.
I definitely enjoyed eating here. Try the chicken cannelloni! That plum sauce *chef's kiss* . I also tried the Amelia cocktail drink. It was so nice that I got two haha. Service was great even though they were quite busy. The atmosphere was nice as well.
We loved the restaurant!! The food was served fresh and it was delicious. The waitress was very kind and checked on us often. Excellent wine menu and full bar. A great place for any occasion! Family friendly, date night, girls night, etc. We will definitely be back!
So so good! Do yourself a favor and try the mozzarella (some of the best I’ve ever had)! Both of our dishes were great, the sauces were amazing! Service was wonderful, we loved this place and already plan to go back!

If I could give Vivo more stars, I would do it in a snap. I have been planning on doing this review for months, and am ashamed that I’ve not done it before tonight.
This place is wonderful and their staff is absolutely top notch. I have been going to VIVO for years but used to go about once a month. I now get take out once a week from this restaurant. Not only is the staff super nice to work with, the service is is top notch, but the food is incredible! The sausage and peppers is my personal favorite, but I’ve ventured out and tried other things. That and their fresh Caprese salad is the very best! The spaghetti with meat sauce is my friends favorite and she has to have it every time she is in town. Of course their pizza is the real deal, it’s literally a taste of Italy! 🇮🇹
A couple of weeks ago I ordered from there after work on a busy Friday evening (it was late, after 8 pm). I accidentally left my nice sunglasses on the table in front of register. I got home with my hot sausage, peppers and onions and realized I had left my sunglasses. I called back, the hostess was so kind, she had found them, put my name on them and when I went back the Monday after, she had them for me.
So many quality aspects of this fantastic restaurant, there are too many to type.
This place is the best!
From out of state (NJ). Stopped by here for a quick bite and very happy we did. All the dishes we got including the pizza were phenomenal. The sauces were all incredible and had an authentic homemade Italian feel. Would highly recommend.
Edit: I ended up moving to Raleigh about 2 years after writing this initial review. I've revisited Vivo's a couple more times within the year that I've lived here, and the quality hasn't changed a bit; I still feel it's the best italian food around (and I've tried a lot of places). 10/10 would recommend.
Great service & Great food! I’ve been to Vivo on multiple occasions and have had a great experience every time. The servers are attentive and friendly. You should definitely try the rigatoni vodka pasta. It is the BEST! It’s my go to order because it’s just so good. They have a good wine selection and half off wine bottles on Mondays. It’s a great spot to check out!
We only had five people and reservations require six. But they still had a table set up for the five of us when we got there! This was a birthday celebration that was made more special because of Vivo's kindness. We get take out often. Best Italian food and best people!
We absolutely love Vivo. My wife and I go almost every Monday for 1/2 price wine night (bottles, not glasses). Their menu has a good variety of options.
Fantastic food, great dining experience overall. Service from Gia was great. Manager Jeremy came around and checked on us, very friendly. I got the Vodka Rigatoni. Fantastic. Pasta tasted very fresh and homemade, sauce was excellent. Bread was phenomenal. Desert and wine were also great. Will definitely return in the future.
It was our first time eating here last night, and we had a great experience. The food was outstanding! I had the carbonara, and my girlfriend had the Alfredo. Both dishes were amazing. The atmosphere and service was great. The price is comparable to Olive Garden, however the experience was so much better. I recommend that everyone should try this place.
We went here for the first time tonight and has a wonderful experience! Gia gave great service
We were there for dinner with friends. Service was very good although they were very busy. Food was delicious! One of our favorite places for lunch or dinner. If you haven't been you must try!
I've been looking for a good pizza spot for a while now and FINALLY found it. Decided to try this place out for the first time and I was more than impressed! I'm excited to come back and try more items on the menu. Pizza is hands down my favorite food but I'm picky, Vivo NAILED the taste I was looking for 🔥
The food was awesome .I got to try Calamari for the first time . John was an awesome server
We had an absolutely fabulous time AND meal during our first visit yesterday. Thanks to Austin and Steph for superb service and all the yummy food. You did not miss a beat! We will return for sure whenever we find ourselves nearby! Ciao!
