Food: Decent portions, questioned taste

Vivoli's Penne pasta, charmingly al dente under a robust vodka sauce, is a must-try. Don't forget to surrender to the decadently fresh Tiramisu or the savory veal parmesan. But it's not all roses - complaints revolve around mediocre creativity, underwhelming taste, and less than fresh bread or pasta options. The saving grace may just be the generous portions and outstanding value.

  • Large Portions

    Generous portions left customers satisfied and often with leftovers.

  • Okay Taste

    Reviews describe food as good but not exceptional; average satisfaction.

  • Low Quality

    Several complaints about stale bread, tasteless pasta, and frozen items.

Vibe: Cozy charm with silent music

Vivoli proves itself with an intimate, romantically lit ambiance perfect for date nights. Their extensive wine selection sets a high bar despite the lack of promised Italian music and lackluster views. But the umbrella of 'boring Italian spot' hangs over the restaurant, presenting a conflicted vibe.

  • Great For Dates

    Intimate and romantic atmosphere ideal for date nights; great for first dates.

  • Bad To Entertain

    Italian music expected in Italian restaurant, not delivered, impacts experience.

Perks: Comfortable with a pinch of delay

Here, find comfortable noise levels, prompt reservations, lovely outdoor patio, and accommodation for dietary restrictions and children. Yet, the staff is on a see-saw of responsible attentiveness with some lows. Also, large group events may not find Vivoli suitable due to its confined space.

  • Easy To Hear

    Quiet, intimate settings perfect for romantic dinners and easy conversations.

  • Okay Service

    Service fluctuated, with experiences of both prompt and delayed attentiveness.

  • Bad For Groups

    Not able to accommodate large groups, feels cramped and unprepared for parties.
