" Expectations were high when I finally decided to visit Vivo, and while it was a nice experience, it didn't quite live up to the hype. The atmosphere is lovely and romantic, but the food was a mixed bag. I enjoyed the beef carpaccio, but the main course of seafood linguine tasted somewhat bland and lacked the seasoning I was hoping for. The service was friendly, but a bit slow, which made the meal feel longer than necessary. If you go, I’d recommend sticking to the more traditional Italian dishes they are known for. I'm willing to give it another shot, but I hope they step it up next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Vivo for the first time, hoping for an authentic Italian experience. The place has a wonderful decor, perfect for creating an upscale vibe. I ordered the seafood pasta, which was undoubtedly fresh, but I found it lacking in flavor compared to what I expected from an Italian restaurant. Service was pleasant but somewhat slow. I believe it may have been the staff's first night, but they were well-intentioned. I might return after a break to see if their regular menu shines brighter than my experience on opening night. " (*Curated Review*)

" An amazing dining experience! Vivo offers authentic Italian food with flavors that transport you right to Italy. I loved the emphasis on fresh, quality ingredients throughout my meal. My husband and I shared a radiant caprese salad before indulging in divine pasta dishes—mine being the rigatoni with a spicy arrabbiata sauce. The service was outstanding, with our server making sure we had everything we needed. We also enjoyed a few glasses of wine from their great selection. Would highly recommend Vivo for anyone who loves genuine Italian food! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first time at Vivo, and the service was exceptional from start to finish! The ambience was lovely - dark and cozy, but perhaps a bit too dim for dining. The focaccia we had at the beginning was soft and warm, and for my main, I had the tortellini which was rich and flavorful, though I did think it could have been a bit bigger. The dessert was fantastic! The tiramisu was perfectly balanced and made the evening special. Overall, loved every minute and look forward to returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a lovely evening at Vivo celebrating our friend's birthday. The restaurant had a cozy, upscale vibe, and our waiter was fantastic! It's rare to find such attentive service these days. We started off with the cauliflower appetizer, which was a hit at our table. For mains, I had the gnocchi, which was fluffy and flavorful. We opted to share desserts, and the tiramisu was heavenly. Honestly, I can't wait for another opportunity to dine here. Makes for an excellent occasion or even a casual dinner with friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Vivo is a hidden gem in Edmonton! The food is absolutely exquisite, and every dish we tried was better than the last. The arancini we started with melted in our mouths, and the risotto was creamy and dreamy. I had the seafood pasta for my main, and my wife ordered the veal—both were excellent. The service was on point, quick, and attentive. The ambiance is upscale yet comfortable. I would recommend Vivo to anyone looking for a special dining experience. We will definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a phenomenal dining experience! Vivo did not disappoint. I went for a birthday dinner and was pleasantly surprised by how accommodating they were with our large group. The set menu had a variety of dishes that everyone enjoyed. My favorite was the short rib; it was melt-in-your-mouth tender and accompanied by the perfect mashed potatoes. We shared the arancini as an appetizer and the flavors were rich and savory. The service was on point; our server was knowledgeable about the menu and made us feel welcomed. The only downside was the reservation system, which felt a bit rigid. Still, I would definitely come back! " (*Curated Review*)
