Nice place to go hungry, after being the whole days walking in the parks. Portions are huge. My pasta was overcooked but the sauce was very good. Great meat balls. Bread was amazing.
We didn’t have reservation and it was very crowded. They sitting us at the bar, bartender was nice, but the food takes too long.
Upon entering the male host at the front was not welcoming/inviting. Luckily, we decided to stay and give them a try anyway. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. The food was really good!! Everything was fresh and flavorful. We will visit again when we're back in the area.
We loved the outdoor patio seating with the great weather. We were seated pretty quickly and served promptly.
The salmon and prosciutto sandwich were amazing.
Staying near universal and wanted some decent food after just flying in. Food was good. Husband and son enjoyed their pizza. My daughter loved her shrimp Alfredo it was very peppery, shrimp were large and cooked well, and my steak was well cooked, tender, and seasoned. Not amazing but a good alternative to park foods. Didn’t enjoy the free focaccia bread I think it was, with olive oil side. Just didn’t have much flavor. Overall it was good food right outside universal. Our server Steven was fantastic. Loved the atmosphere sitting outside. Yes it’s loud but expected right outside a theme park!
Good vegetarian options and tasty food. Pesto spaghetti portion is small.
The best Italian food I've ever had. Nice atmosphere outside along the City Walk inside is nice too, if it's hot or cold outside. Highly recommend this place.
Great find in the City Walk! The Brussel sprout appetizer was soooo good!! It's a must try. The shrimp Alfredo was good, but nothing special. Kids really enjoyed the spaghetti. Drinks were also very good. Highly recommend popping in even for apps and drinks.
They have cocktails and drinks. There is wine as well and you need to show ID.
We had pasta, and it was cooked perfectly.
Their pizza is made fresh but the one we got was a little oily.
There was complimentary bread with olive oil.
Delicious pies! We had the mushroom which although could have had more shroomies on it, was super tasty. Their short rib pappardelle was outstanding. The shrimp diavolo was too spicy. All you tasted was how spicy it was.
This is such a comfort place for my girlfriend and I. One of our perfect date nights is going to Citywalk and checking out the stores and then grabbing a drink and some appetizers at VIVO. We've been there multiple times and I think we've just walked in to the bar area every time. Drinks are so good. The Bees Knees and the Lemontini are delicious. This time we got the meatballs and some bread for an appetizer but in the past we have gotten the lasagna and spaghetti which were both insane as well. The bartender Jay we have seen a couple times and always chops it up with us. Great staff and meals at VIVO. We'll be back many more times.
