Service: I booked a lunch here for a group of 40 for a team outing. The entire experience was amazing. Mike (the owner) was super accommodating. We took up all the tables inside of the restaurant and it was rather crowded for the staff to move around. Despite this, they ensured that all our starters and mains arrived around the same time for everyone. The kitchen staff did an exceptional job as well, you could tell it was well-organized. We had sent in our orders ahead of time and requested they call out the names to prevent any mix-ups (Yes, adults can forget what they ordered a week in advance). Servers were so warm and friendly and as attentive as they could be given the circumstances. They even tried to remember names after going through learning 40 names and got pretty good by the time they needed to serve mains. My friend asked for a box to combine leftovers of my charcuterie board with her pasta. Mike grabbed the plates, separated them into two separate boxes, bagged them and handed it back to her with a smile. When service cares more about how your leftovers are handled than you do, it's seriously next level service. Food: I had the charcuterie board, caprese salad and got to try a slice of Salsiccia Pizza. All three were good enough to be re-ordered. My friend had the arancini and Bucatini Amatriciana which they thoroughly enjoyed. One person accidentally ordered a gluten-free pizza, when it arrived, it was announced that it was gluten-free to their surprise. They said it was so good that they couldn't even tell it from a regular pizza which speaks miles. The pizzas were drool-worthy as they came out, most people regretted not ordering pizza. Overall, everyone enjoyed their food. I would certainly head back in a heart-beat the next time I'm in the area.

Went here for lunch on a Wednesday with friends, a new place to try out. It wasn't busy and we were seated right away. Cute place and light atmosphere. Lots of good choices on the menu. Server was polite and came by enough. Answered questions we had regarding dietary restrictions. We ordered the penne vodka, fettucini alfredo and pizza capriocciosa. Also ordered dessert which were the Blueberry cheesecake, Salted caramel cheesecake, and chocolate tartufo. We all throughly enjoyed our meals! They were delicious. 2 out of 3 of us had leftovers. Pizza was 6 slices, thin crust and flavourful. Pastas were filling. The Deserts were yummy. We left feeling satisfied. The only thing is they should update their website to reflect the prices on their menu. It's $2 more on their menu compared to the website with their items. Also, since it's a chain restaurant, there were a couple of items they didn't have when trying to order. The server said all the restaurants gets a standard menu regardless whether that item is available or not. It should be catered to what they have available at each location. Would recommend and would come back for other items I'd like to try in the future.

Vivo on North Queen Street (near Sherway Gardens) is a of an Italian restaurant hidden next to Tim Hortons in the Pets Mart and Marshall's plaza. Great decor, friendly service, nice atmosphere, and mouth watering . I tried the prosciutto pizza ($14.00 plus tax) and it was amazing - with just the right amount of arugula and topped with wonderful very prosciutto and fresh cheese. I can't wait to come back and try some of their other and veal scallopine... Lots of free parking spots in the plaza. Handicapped parking spots near the entrance. Wheelchair accessible entrance and wheelchair accessible restaurant. Telman - TorontoLocalGuide review.

I've been to Vivo twice now once for a work event and once personally and both times the food has been superb! Individual service was excellent the waitress was friendly and timely. It is a smaller sized restaurant so for the large gathering the staff seemed a little disorganized but not unreasonably so. Would recommend it for a casual Italian dining experience.

We ordered the Carbonara and Spaghetti Bolognes. The Carbonara was not as eggy as my partner was hoping, could be the type of egg or if the yolk was not separated from the whites, or other factors, I don’t know! I’m not the Carbonara expert. I was happy with my Bolognes and the fresh chili’s in chili oil, there was lots of meat in the sauce which I really appreciated. Their pizzas look amazing and next time I will try those! They also have a Nutella pizza . The service was excellent, super friendly from when we walked in the door. A real genuine pride from our server. This spot is small and cozy, and it was busy by 8 pm. We will be back!

We have been to another vivo location and it was good so we decide to try this one. But it was very disappointing service and the food. What We like was pizza primavera which was decent and enough toppings on it. What we didn’t like was wine was served in plastic water glass… there were flys where we were seating. And we ordered penne vodka which was way too salty and then they made us another one which was also super salty. They didn’t charged us for it. Over all not the experience we were expecting …

Vivo Pizza+Pasta is undeniably one of the best restaurants I’ve had the pleasure of visiting in the Toronto area! The impeccable service truly made the dining experience memorable. The pizzas were absolutely perfect, and I cannot recommend them enough. Plus, the cherry on top was the surprisingly competitive prices for the fantastic quality of food they offer. 100% recommend trying out this gem!

A delicious meal if you're around Sherway for some Italian! Coming from Europe their pizza was very reminiscent of their origins, and I appreciated that taste very well! You don't need to call ahead for seats if you're being spontaneous, but it is a small restaurant so it may be wiser on weekends!

Tuesday night dinner. The place was empty, but we decided to give it a try. The staff was nice. The pasta was great and my 4 year old gobbled it up. The pizza was fresh out of the oven. It lacked a bit of flavor, so we added the spicy oil they give you and spread the basil on top and it was perfectly delicious ! Since it was a weekday, it was also kid friendly (meaning they didn't mind my kids laughing and playing). Only bad things is that the place has no changing tables for babies in the bathroom, which required some sort of improvising on our part.

Tried this location over the others and disappointed. Portion is so much less than the other location - for that price of a pasta dish - come on - really? The location at North York costs less and portion size is not embarrassing like this location. Also, staff not friendly - It's drop off entree and never see them again until it's time to pay. Only 1 table besides mine, so no excuse. Will not go to this location again.

The issue I had was with the online menu every item is a higher price in store than what is listed online. Very disappointing when you call in an order for pick up then when you get there and find out there is a cost discrepancy all they say is sorry about that I will inform management.

Just ordered their Alfredo pasta and I was so excited to eat it but it was extremely bland, very tasteless (the only strong flavour was the pasta water). Not even joking. I ate here before with some friends and the same thing happened with one of their pasta dishes. One chef back there keeps forgetting the seasoning. I thought the first time was just a mistake but that’s not the case anymore. 45$ down the drain.

My sons very picky so they made him a cheese only pizza

+update Sept 8 2022 5 stars to 3 stars The taste has changed from the last visit and price went up. The service was soso even though there was only 1 table inside and a few on the patio +update Aug 23 2021 Went for their nutella pizza again and the main was also amazing! I think this is actually the best pasta place for a franchise! Great quality and taste Great atmosphere and food! Their nutella pizza is a must try and when they say that it’s spicy, it is SPICY! :)

I was introduced to ViVo through a good friend and was grateful for the introduction. The staff are amazing and pay attention to detail and make sure your experience is top notch. The ambiance is great with a modern decor. My only complaint is they could dim the lights a little more during dinner service. The food is good for the value and presentation and flavour is what I expected. Pizza's are fantastic with a great selection for vegans to meat lovers. Cheers - CS

Not a bad spot for wood oven pizza considering there aren't many in the area. It's kind of hidden in the plaza, a pro that it's not too busy. Overall dining experience was good. Quality of the pizza was great, flavours are married well on the pizzas. Service was also great, real friendly and tentative. Only complaint was the potato slices even being super finely sliced were a little under on the patata pizza. But the concept of flavour pairing works well.

The food was delicious, especially the pizza. I also loved the salad. Fresh homemade tasting italian tomato sauce. Staff were very friendly and weloming. Great service and ambience. If you like Italiano food, this is the place to go.

From the moment you walked in to the moment you walk out this vivo pizza Red label was absolutely amazing We had a few pizzas The margarita which is your standard basic pizza can't go wrong The spicy one with nduja They make their own nduja very spicey and not to oily on the pizza nice touch. The tiramisu was also very good you can taste it from first bite. Very good experience. If you notice this is the only vivo that's red label. Try it...

First time checking out Vivo and honestly was not impressed. The pasta was ok at best. Their pizza was a bit better but I really expected more considering it’s an Italian chain. Maybe other locations are better but I probably won’t take the chance of finding out. It’s a no for me but their service was good and the staff are really friendly!

Fantastic! A real attention to authentic flavours and taste. This place is good for a quick lunch or sit down dinner. The options to order food and sit down really speeds up the whole process. They have an onsite Esspresso machine and Peroni Beer on tap. The real wood fire oven produces the very best authentic pizza and scorching on the crust. Hot oil is hot. Would recommend the salsiccia Pizza

Amazing dinner here at Vivo today. Great service staff. Portions are just right. Food is tasty and probably one of the best pizza pasta we’ve had during our trip. We were initially a little worried but was pleasantly surprised and blown away by everything here! Love the carbonara - pasta and Prosciutto - pizza!

I ordered gnnochi bolognese via door dash and it is literally the grossest bowl of pasta I have ever attempted to eat. I say attempted because I couldn't even finish the bowl I paid 20 bucks for. It is so watery and greasy, so bland and unappetizing. I have had luck with this restaurant in the past but over the past few months it has been poor quality and not exactly cheap either.

Service was 5 star. The restaurant is clean and nice inside. While the food was good (except for the penne) which I would not recommended, the sauce seemed off, the prices were really high. $60 for arancini ($13 for 5 mini/small arancini was not worth it) 2 pastas and 1 coke don’t seem worth it. Overall the service is great, food is generally good, but prices are way too high.

I found this place to be mediocre - nothing too outstanding but not terrible. The pizza was a bit too thin for my liking and wish it had more cheese since it mostly seemed like tomato sauce & toppings. The pasta was decent but nothing that really stood out to me. Overall, it’s not a bad option if it’s convenient but wouldn’t be a go-to spot.

Nice atmosphere. Friendly staff. Good food! Especially their Carbonara was good!! One of the server didn’t know the menu tho (she kept saying Carbonara would come with tomato sauce.. and had to tell her it’s cream sauce.) Also this place was too busy during lunch time. Had to wait for so long to get my water refilled.

We really enjoyed the food and excellent service. We had Spaghetti Carbonara, Penne Vodka and Salsiccia Pizza. One of the staff offered house made chilli oil which is to die for. It's quite spicy even for us who are used to spicy food. We arrived before lunch hours which is perfect. Would definitely comeback again.

We celebrated my son's baptism with a party of 21. The service and food was great. Everyone was pleased, even my grandmother who is very picky. She ate everything. The appetizers with pizza, the pasta, and especially the Pollo alla griglia was great. We had the entire outside patio to ourselves. Thank you!

Great place to have lunch with lots of options. Their arugula salad is amazing. The service was great, nice environment, very chill and not very loud so easy to have a conversation where you don't have to yell across the table just to be heard.

Went today for lunch with family. We are of Italian background and the pizza, pasta and calamari were fantastic!. Excellent staff as well, as I was so impressed at how warm and friendly they were with our special needs sister. Will definitely return!

Great restaurant with amazing food and service. Mike was so fun and the kids loved him. Our food was excellent and served fast and hot. We sat in the back patio area and were given blankets since it was cool which was a nice touch. We will be back.

some of the best pizza in etobicoke, the calamari is always fresh although I think they need to always have the same portions because sometimes there’s more sometimes there is less. It is still a very good place to enjoy some authentic Italian food

Food is very hit or miss. More miss than hit. My spaghetti carbonara was pink for example and tasted gross.

The food was delicious, I don't think you will find pizza or pasta better anywhere else in the city. The wine list was excellent not what I was expecting to find. A great place for friends to meet and share a drink and a few laughs with.

Wow the customer service was excellent here! The food was also good my girlfriend doesn't like spicy but my chicken Alfredo was amazing finally a place that doesn't cheap out on the pasta sauce. It is a bit pricey but when we ate it was

Amazing food, amazing service. Took my mom and aunt there, who have not explored Italian restaurants beyond Scaddabush and East Side Mario's. So for them it was an out of the world experience. They are vegetarians and the server/kitchen

Would rate 4.5 stars. Ordered margherita pizza to start - lots of cheese and tasty crust - 6 slices. good appetizer. Ordered penne with meat sauce - vary firm - I would say another 45 seconds would have been perfect al dente. Better too

My 4 year old grandson (picky eater) had their spaghetti bolongnese & loved it, love their pizza's nice & thin & we also had a salad with salmon (delicious). Friendly staff all around.

This place is something else. Every time I come here the food is Bang on. The owner who’s making pizzas takes pride in his work. It’s the reason I keep coming back. Love this place!

Awesome place- the owner and the staff are super friendly. Their espresso is amazing and I enjoyed their wood oven pizza. Can’t wait to return and try the other items on their menu!

We ordered the potato pizza and rigatoni and they were both alright. Not worth $47. The pasta was a very small portion for $19. Overall, just okay. More

Food was and service was decent, nothing really special or stood out to me. I have had better pizza, at other places.

Calamari is lightly battered & cooked to perfection. quick service and friendly staff PIZZA is delicious.

Fantastic spot. Haven't had anything bad from here yet. Perroni on tap is perfect with every meal.

Amazing pizza, excellent service, wonderful people, but horrifically expensive wine.
