Service really poor insufficient staff on a busy Friday nite. Food poor, calamari cut too thick and was very chewy. Pasta dishes awful , need to improve on quality of food. And they didn't bother to bring us our change , they just assumed it was a tip, £14 for bad service. We eventually got fed up of waiting and left without our change. Won't be rushing back there.

Excellent food' ambience and service. Highly recommend. Portion sizes are fabulous and attention to detail commendable. We were a large party of nine and the food all came out piping hot at the same time.

Food and wine list good as usual but we were disappointed that they didn't have zucchini when the shops are full of them, and No Espresso !! The machine was broken, but why no backup ? Also the calamari fritti starters were weird - three of us had them and all commented on the strange way of presenting them. The filetto Rossini was very good.

Six of us visited Vivo for our Christmas party. The food was lovely, but the service left a lot to be desired. Four of us had starters, three of which came to the table quite quickly. Unfortunately the fourth arrived 10 minutes later, after the waiter had been reminded that we were a starter short! We had no such problems with the mains, all of which were absolutely delicious (especially my fillet of sea bass). We had the same issue with dessert when one arrived some considerable time after the others. Once we were all finished with our desserts, we waited (and waited) for a member of waiting staff so that we could get the bill. I eventually went to the entrance to the kitchen to request the bill, only to be told (not asked!) to sit down as they were busy!!! I found this level of rudeness in a waiter completely unacceptable, and will not be returning because of it. The restaurant knew how many covers there were and should have had enough staff to cope with it, or simply should have not taken as many bookings!!! In short, really nice food but appalling service.

Chairs & tables too close with each other. Hard to pass going out have to ask other customer to move and so the noise is so compact. Food are nice though

Pleasant welcome from genuine Italian staff, clean modern surroundings, not rushed into making any choices and the food was exactly as expected. The waiter used only enough Italian to set the scene and to allow me to use my limited ability. Prices in line with the experience of dining out in the area. My wife recommended the place as she had lunched there with friends before. Would definitely go again.

All food and wine excellent apart from risotto which got a negative response when mentioned it had no taste. Spent nearly. 300 pounds so would not have hurt them to deduct it from Bill. Otherwise a really good experience

Treated my husband here on a Friday evening. Booked online, very easy. Arrived bit early but no issues, very prompt service, friendly and attentive staff. Delicious food and staff were happy to leave us a while before we asked for the bill. Really pleased it's still as good as my last visit. Lovely evening will definitely visit again soon.

I booked online but when we arrived they didn't have our reservation, but luckliy there was only 2 of us so they found us a table. The restaurant was very loud and we couldn't hear each other over the noise so we paid the bill and left. On a positive though, the food was nice.

At Vivo you have a very warm welcome. The waiter/waitresses are very attentive, and nothing is too much trouble. Food was lovely. On hearing it was a special birthday, a small cake with a candle was brought to the table. A lovely touch. Many thanks. X

We had a lovely time, the service was spot on, the food was very tasty, the rossini sauce needed a little more depth, but overall it was really nice. The white chocolate profiteroles were wonderful. We will definitely return.

Nice food and really enjoyed the singer. Service has been slow the last 2 visits and it's quite pricey if you want something other than pasta or pizza, otherwise I would visit more.
