Such a great surprise to find homemade pasta and so local…just a few minutes away in Valley Village. Quaint setting with lively Italian music. Servers were delightful and attentive. Started with the most delicious Caeser salad and homemade garlic bread. Our entrees were all stellar—especially the lemon ricotta ravioli. Loved the reasonable portion sizes. Too full for dessert, sadly! Perfectly paired Italian wines, too. Will definitely return!

I had the pleasure to accidentally walked into the Vivi Restorante to personally experience the most delicious and authentic Italian food starting with a special bread that I enjoyed in a long time, and continued with a food that can only be described as out of this world. The owner and employees were extremely humble and respectful. I can’t wait to go back with a group of friends very soon.

So, I looked at many reviews before I wrote mine here, thinking that the person in our party who selected this spot was informed by the reviews. I don’t get it. Fine albeit standard northern style Italian eatery with good service, but sadly food just ordinary. Two thin crust pizzas nice, margherita and veggie, both nice, but not special. Caesar salad was terrific, with lots of hearts and some crunch on top w/just the right amount of dressing. So fresh and good flavor, but not enough to say this is a 5-star establishment. The pastas, homemade, were all very nice, but nothing memorable. We ordered to share all the above plus an assortment of pasta dishes for our party of 7; they were good, but, again, I wouldn’t say noteworthy. If I was around, I might go back, but with all the competing Italian eateries, I’d be more likely to seek a different spot. Really, not bad and I feel somewhat guilty given the rave, that nothing added up to that level, but that’s the news from here.

This place is great! Up-and-coming Chef Angel’s first restaurant, and I have a feeling we’ll either see more, or this will continue to grow.
It’s unassuming with a homey elegance. Service (Victoria) was excellent. Great friendly and great recommendations. Food was delicious. Victoria even gave my brother a free glass of wine to try with the pizza (he wasn’t sure which he’d like).
The bread, ravioli (handmade), oxtail pasta, and limoncello mascarpone cake (with blueberry topping) were my favorites (exceptional). Diavola pizza was unique and nor your normal pizza crust (I’ve never had pizza quite like this anywhere; it’s fermented dough but not crispy or thin — not super thick either). Cesar salad & mozzarella sticks (the latter which we accidentally ordered thinking it was broccolini!) were both very good and were a nice combination to eat together. Great portions for sharing.
Btw only beer and wine.

Hidden Gem , Relaxed Quiet Atmosphere & Food We Will Come Back For
Ordered the Raviolis, Shrimp Linguine, Dover Sole Piccata, and Marsala were all fantastic
The Bread served prior to meals alone will make you want to come back.
Great Service to complement everything. I hope this place continues to grow.

A little hidden gem! ViVi ristorante is not what you expect for the location. As soon as you walk in you feel as though you’ve teleported some where else. Quaint, great vibes and cute decor. We enjoyed the food very much. We tried all the apps: the meatballs, fried mozzarella and artichoke (my fav). The margherita pizza was light and tasty. The mains- Dover fish (my fav) & two pastas. The pasta is made in house and cooked to perfection. I loved the cream inside the cannoli! I forgot to mention the ceasar salad, the romaine was nice crisp with homemade croutons and so tasty. The waiter Justin is so sweet and knows the menu well. Chef Angel was kind enough to stop by our table and you can tell he loves what he does.

Being Italian, I was very excited to see an Italian restaurant open up so close to my home. The bartender was very friendly, and the restaurant had a nice ambiance to it. Definitely enjoyed being in there and would have loved to make it my regular spot to go to weekly. Only reason I give this 2 stars and not 5 is because for the price of the Chicken Marsala, it’s extremely small portions and left me still very hungry for being around $26. I’m only 6’0” and 150lbs so I don’t normally eat much to begin with, so to say this was a small portion is saying something. The chicken breast was butterflied but then cut in half so you got a very small portion of chicken that was only topped with a few brussels sprouts and mushrooms, no actual side to accompany this dish. So once you eat that, you’re left wanting more and not in a good way. I absolutely loved the taste of the Marsala sauce and the dish itself, so there is much potential to be a great restaurant if they get their portions right for the price. You’d think it would come with a small amount of pasta or even some type of salad for the price as normally this type of dish would come with such sides. I’d love to go back and be a regular patron there weekly, but for that price I’m better off going to Ma’s in Burbank. I was very excited to try this place out, I’ll go back in a couple months to see if they updated their potions after being open a while. With the one entree and bottle of San Pellegrino costing me about $36 before tax, I spent $50 including tip to be left hungry and going home to only make myself a second dinner at home an hour later.
