vivo ristorante - Edmonton, Alberta

This was our first experience at Vivo and if I can give it more than 5 stars I would! Firstly our server Diego was incredible!!! He really knows his food, his wines and he’s such a professional 10/10 server. (Also at the end of the night we forgot our keys ... and Wilbur called us and left a message for us. When we called back he was so kind and we went back to get our keys. when we arrived back Diego was outside waiting for us with a smile on his face). Excellent service! Thank you so much Wilbur and Diego!!. The rigatoni is to DIE for. The portions are amazing and a half size is HUGE. Must try! Also , Diego truly deserves a raise!!! You can tell he loves what he does and has a passion for people and their happiness ! Thank you Vivo and Diego :) we will 100% be back! Read more

Understated restaurant but the food was pretty good! Our service was perfect. It's pricey so be prepared Came here with a co-worker and she enjoyed her meal which I didn't get a pic of I had the Fettuccine (half order), an interesting take on that...it was very tasty but was ... more like a type of Mac'n'Cheese. Very very cheesy/gooey & garlic. I love garlic so that good. Scallops were very tasty!! Asked for an Ameretto Sour, which wasn't on the menu Bartender did a fantastic job on that! Read more

It’s been years since my last visit to Vivo Ristorante. We came with a group of 14, on a Saturday evening, to celebrate a special occasion. We customized our own $78.00/person set menu. 22% automatic gratuity is added on top. If you bring your own cake, they charge $3.00/person. Our waiter, ... Jordan, was excellent. We ordered two Bollini pinot grigio ($55.00 each) and Il Bruciato DOC ($75.00) wine bottles. For food, there was black tiger shrimps, scallops, risotto, rigatoni (not al dente), brazino (sea bass was the best dish of the night) and short rib. The vegetables (carrots, brussel sprouts and oyster mushrooms) were impressively small. Three small bowls for the entire table. We ordered another brussel sprouts ($16.00). They also charged $2.50 for hot water. Food was okay but nothing memorable. Read more

The beef carpaccio was amazing, and so was the beef tenderloin - it was incredibly well made and juicy. However the fettuccine we got was way too salty, and overpowered the rest of the dishes, and the drinks were just average. Overall, vivo was okay for the price point.

Had a memorable and fun company event in Vivo’s private room. Excellent selection of wine and the food was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a cozy and high-end dinner. Don’t miss the meatballs, arancini, mushroom risotto or the beef tenderloin. Our server, Taylor was friendly, accommodating, and ... efficient. We will definitely be back for our next celebration!
