Missed opportunity to showcase. Live in the area and haven’t been to ViBo in awhile. The entrance is has turned into a storage area for broken chairs and TV boxes. It feels like the receiving dock of a Leon’s. Calamari was not fresh and must have come from a frozen box. The smoked salmon lay dormant on a plate with no depth or flavour save for the oddly paired Parmesan shavings atop. Our mains were pastas. Prepared simply with no pizzazz. Again, no depth of flavour. The Vongole was overly salty with a crisp texture. The lamb papardelle was a “top 3 favourite” as per our waiter - but lacked a placement on the podium. The server was mildly attentive but was going through the motions. All in all, disappointing with limited value.

Hi Mr. Patrick Marvic, sorry for your experience with us. To address your concerns, our front entrance does store chairs which are used for guests. When groups of various sizes book, ie 10 people, 6 people, 4 people.. the restaurant requires to have chairs. Which the restaurant needs to store. They are not broken. We also do have a tv.. which we have brought in for our guests who have requested to watch the Maple Leafs Playoff game in our private room! We are trying to go above and beyond for our guests. The entrance foyer in not part of the dining room. We strive ourselves on simple good food, every day. We do not compete to be like other places or wish to be showcased or on podiums. We are happy to refund you the value you did not receive. Please call me at ViBo and ask for Luca.

The perfect place to honour my mother in-law on Mother’s Day. The take home flower was a special touch that she was so excited about.

We always enjoy our time at ViBo. The welcoming hostess and the serving staff are always friendly and courteous. The menu is quite current without going overboard with unnecessary frills. I find the fish specials to be reliably delicious. As well, the salads are fresh with thoughtful ingredients and homemade dressings that are light and tasty.

This past Friday the restaurant was super busy and loud. Love the food. Service was amiss this time. Very very slow. Waited over an hour to receive an appetizer. Asked for bread that never came then was asked during the appetizer if we still wanted it. Sadly not the best service I have had this time around.

ViBo does not disappoint. Service was impeccable. Shiv, our server, was gracious and charming. He made our evening especially special . The meal was excellent. The pear, walnut and Parmesan salad was very good. The black cod special was also delicious as was the veal Parmesan. This is not the first time we have had dinner at ViBo and it will not be the last.
