" Visited ViVi Ristorante last weekend and was blown away by the quality of the food! You can tell they take great care in using fresh ingredients, and every dish we had was packed with flavor. We started with the fried mozzarella and it was perfection! I went for the chicken marsala which was divine, but I have to agree with others that I was a bit disappointed by the size of the portion given the price. Nevertheless, I would gladly return just for the ambiance and the delicious food! " (*Curated Review*)

" My partner and I went to ViVi Ristorante last night and couldn’t get over how authentic the food tasted! Everything from the fresh bread to the homemade sauces had incredible flavor. The service was top-notch, with our waiter recommending the perfect wine to accompany our meal. We ordered a variety of dishes to share, and while everything was tasty, we were a bit surprised by the smaller portion sizes—definitely left us wanting more. Still, I would recommend this spot to anyone looking for genuine Italian cuisine. We’ll probably return soon to try their pizza. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! Just wow! The food here is fantastic. The best Italian I’ve had in a while. Everything was freshly made, and you can taste the authenticity in every bite! I had the Dover fish, which was cooked to perfection, and the pasta dishes were top quality. However, I found the portion sizes to be a bit lacking compared to other places, which could be improved. Still, it’s a great dining experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" tried ViVi Ristorante last night, and I must say, it was a delightful experience from start to finish. The dim lighting and cozy setting created a perfect atmosphere for a romantic dinner. Our server was incredibly attentive without being intrusive, allowing us to enjoy our meal. We ordered the house-made ravioli and a couple of pizzas, and they were all fantastic! The flavors were authentic and left us both craving more. I'll definitely be recommending this place to friends, although I hope they consider adjusting their portions as they are slightly smaller for the price. Overall, however, we were very happy with our dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant truly is a hidden gem! The atmosphere had such a warmth to it, and the baked focaccia we had as our starter was stellar. We opted for the margherita pizza and the cannoli for dessert; both were absolutely delightful. Our waiter, who appeared to be very knowledgeable about the menu, made great recommendations for wine pairing as well. My only criticism would be that the main dishes we sampled were not very large. Nevertheless, we're keen to return and explore more of their menu soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" A charming little Italian restaurant that exceeded my expectations. Each dish felt like a piece of Italy brought to California. I had the best cannoli of my life here! The atmosphere is inviting, making it feel like a local gem where you can unwind. The only downside was that while the food was wonderful, the serving sizes were smaller than I expected for Italian food, which was a bit of a letdown. Nevertheless, the quality was there and I am certainly planning to come back with friends for another meal soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried ViVi Ristorante and was pleasantly surprised by the ambiance. It’s a cozy spot that feels very intimate and welcoming. I tried the Quattro Formaggi pizza, and it was the best pizza I've had in a long time! The cheese was wonderfully rich without being overwhelming. The service was also exceptional; our waiter was friendly and made sure we enjoyed our meal. One drawback was that my friend's chicken marsala came in a smaller portion than expected, which could be improved. Overall, a delightful experience and I will definitely return!
