About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for groups
vivo is where Italian comes alive. We relish the enthusiasm and joy with which the traditional Italian meal is prepared and delivered, and seek to recreate that experience for every guest. Our open kitchen showcases our chefs preparing fresh and local ingredients.

When you join us for dinner, expect it to be a relaxing evening lasting a couple hours over several piatti (courses). Your table comes alive when we present a variety of large offerings on platters or bowls within easy reach of all.

A classic Italian pranzo (dinner) usually beings with a variety of antipasti (hot and cold appetizers), followed by one or two primi (usually a hot pasta, risotto, gnocchi or zuppa). Next your table will share a secondi (entrees) served on a platter combined with your choice of contorni (vegetable side dishes). Italians often complete their meal with un dolce, un caffe, or un digestivo (dessert, espresso, liqueur or grappa).
we only use fresh in house made pastas and sauces.

    The service was good. Food was ok overall. Rigatoni with beef bolognese was good, lamb rack lacked flavour.

    We went as a group of 6, and everyone had a great time. Our server, Al, was the best. He explained everything (what food was on the plates, etc.), kept our wine and water glasses full, and took the empty plates away promptly, but not too quickly. Vivo is one of our favourite restaurants.

    Dean was our server and took exceptional care of us. We were on the patio and he checked on us often. The food (as always) was superb!

    Always excellent food and service - we have never been disappointed regardless of food choice and unbelievably consistent. My wife and I travel a fair bit and most often take in fine some dinning - Vivo is always the comparator.

    Was looking for an Italian place to replace our family's previous favorite - Uccelino's. The food at Vivo is pretty good, but not amazing - and the prices were pretty high for what you get. I think we will continue our search for our new favorite Italian spot in Edmonton.
