Okay, okay we were on the way to our farm but were so hungry for pizza. We bopped in for a pizza and arugula salad.We had the Quattro Gusti. Now in all fairness I was wearing an Italy tee with Gnotto’s number 10 that my son brought back.My head exploded after the first bite!Why have I been buying pizza anywhere else the last several years?The chef came out of the kitchen to put this tantilizing takeout in my hands personally.He knew he was going to knock me out and kick one out of the stadium.I should have known since their lasagna won the World Cup of pasta dishes. This was the first time I left with pizza and not lasagna. And don’t even talk to me about their shrimp dishes…(when someone else is buying). Momma Mia!!!!

We had a good experience, but the food was subpar. The bread and garlic bread was dry. The lamb chops did not have a lot of flavor, and breading on it was not good; the asparagus was not fully cooked. But we did like the appetizers were great the mozzarella carrozza, boom boom shrimp, and bacon scallops

Vivo is one of our favorite places. We enjoyed the calamari appetizer and our Caesar salads. But the entrees were very good. Lobster ravioli with a lobster tail. And chicken francaise. Yummy. Great food. And our server Meghan was excellent.

The food and service were both outstanding. Our waitress, Meadow, was very personable and provided prompt, attentive but unobtrusive service. The prices were not cheap but were reasonable given the high quality of the food provided. Highly recommended.

Great food, food came out pretty quick. I believe his name was Scott, our waiter, he was a great guy. Chef did a great job and made me a requested dish that was not on the menu. The cannoli was a great way to end the meal also, even though I was stuffed!
They don't have proper accommodations for when they have a large party. The area for large parties is upstairs and no buffer way of keeping the noise level down so you can enjoy your meal and have a conversation within your own group

The hosts were very polite and friendly. I wish I could say the same for the wait staff. The restaurant was very busy but the extremely long wait for a food was not acceptable. This was exasperated by the unfriendly attitude and lack of attention from the waitress. There are many great Italian restaurants in this area and this place is not one of them. The food was mediocre for the inflated price you are paying. On top of everything a 20% tip is mandatory on your bill.

Our food was delicious. Very plentiful and hot. It was nice they don't rush you and our server was there when it was needed. She did stagger our ordering process to give us time to enjoy our food and company. We will definitely be back. Good value
Fantastic food and fantastic service.. Very close to the Turnpike..

Being the first time at Vivo Italian Kitchen I gave a 3 star rating for service. Either the was short staffed or a possible internal issue. We will go back at some point. At that time I will re-rate the service star.

Vivian is my family's new found favorite. We have recently frequented your wonderful family restaurant. The service is above average. The ownership/owners are warn and hospitable. Everyone feels welcomed. Thank you for your service.

This is a go-to place for us, with wonderfully prepared food and great service. We were so sorry to learn of the passing of the owner's wife recently after a prolonged illness. The restaurant, I am sure due to this tragedy, is for sale. I hope that someone can assume its operations while maintaining its quality.

We thought it was a great meal overall! My husband had the crispy lobster and scallops and raved about it!!! I had the Penne Al Forno which was great. The appetizer was the prosciutto bruschetta and it was excellent! Service was impeccable and we appreciated her attention to us through our meal.
