vivo kitchen

huge place with friendly staff. the menu looked great but i was leery of the entrees based on picture i saw on their website and yelp. (pasta andsauceslook unappetizing and of low quality tho its a “scratch” kitchen. thus, we tried two salads which were both overdressed and soggy because of it. then we had the pizza and it was great! not too much sauce, ample meat and cheese and a fabulous crust! if we lived closer it would be a go to for take out pizza.

the place needs more attention to detail...our pepper grinder was empty (they should be checked every few days) and from one view i saw dirty plates waiting to be picked up and from another view there sat a smelly rag and spray bottle on another table. both were there until the end of our visit.

i would call this an independent olive garden type place.

fresh delicious pasta and seafood!. definitely recommend the seafood pasta and calamari starter. the pasta is homemade, the seafood is fresh and expertly cooked, and thesaucesare vibrant with fresh herbs. worth the price for sure. then dining room is beautiful and artistic with a side of funky. we will definitely be back!

incredible food. five of us went to dinner. my mother said the bruschetta was exactly how her mother from italy used to make it. delicious crab cakes with lumps of crab meat. hand made pasta sheets in the lasagne. thesauceswere complex and slow cooked for rich flavors. the calamari was some of the best we've ever had. tried something different with the braised short ribs over orrichette pasta in a reduced red wine sauce--phenomenal. the house-made peanut butter gelato is flavored with peanut butter they make from scratch. so excited to have this restaurant in the area.

disappointed. my husband and i were very excited to try out this reopened restaurant. i ordered the brick chicken which the waitress highly recommended. it came with mash potatoes that i felt came from a box and brussel sprouts that were good but cold. the chicken was pretty unremarkable. my husband had the braised short ribs. sad to say but they reminded us of chef boyardee... the pasta was mushy,saucestasted from a can, and there was hardly any meat. the quality that they rave about when they greet you at your table just isn't there. the prices do not reflect the food that you receive. the setting is very nice and maybe the cost in largely built into the food prices. for what we paid for dinner we felt taken to the cleaners.....
