Vivere in Stafford

Great ambiance and super efficient service. Starters are too expensive though. Two menu’s, one twice the price of the other, which is ok if you want to treat yourself, but my wife ate off the cheaper menu and I ate off the more expensive one but not sure it was twice as good.

Beautiful food we all ate everything. Starters and mains for 7 of us. Service fab and attentive. Babak and his wife are very friendly and hospitable.

Lovely evening with a friend. Great service from Staff . Food was excellent, both the main and dessert. Will definitely return and would certainly recommend.

Great food as always thanks to Babak and his team tried the new menu tonight was scrumptious. Keep up the good work see you again soon

Always been a great restaurant, now excellent. Food was faultless. Staff were attentive. Had the table for the whole evening. Will definitely return.

Absoloutely fantastic meal , great , attentive staff, wonderful ambient atmosphere.Management arranged a wonderful boquet and balloon for my wife at my request.Superb experience throughout!

Friendly and efficient service and always great food - this is one of our favourite places to eat in Stafford. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming.

We have not visited for a few years and decided to return . The service and food remains very good . The Staff are young and well trained which is always great to observe . Food was fresh , hot and tasty . We requested a quieter table and were offered a choice of tables , great to see a request made and supported . Will definitely return. Highly recommend

First time we have been to the restaurant. Nice atmosphere. Great choice of food and wine. Excellent service. Will definitely be back.

This is a place that we have driven past for years and always said we need to go there My regret now is that we didn't go there years ago What a find From the moment we walked in we knew we had found somewhere special The Waitresses were attentive and supportive without being over the top The service by them was prompt and careful The Chef/owner even came to the table to review what we had ordered for starters as he said it was too much and he was right The food was just exceptional - The best I have eaten for a long time The starter which we shared in the end though listed as an individual starter was that big it should be , as we were told , a sharing plate The flavour of the mains was stunning And the desserts were to die for It is not a cheap place to eat compared to over "Italian Chain Restaurants" but I would willingly pay this price over and over again for the flavours and presentation We will return soon and on a frequent basis

Friendly staff, trainee waiter being "shown the ropes" by a more experienced waitress whilst taking our orders which was no issue. We were made aware of the bell/buzzer on our table to gain attention of staff but this was not needed as staff were very prompt. Venue is lovely and relaxed. Food was nice and well presented. Had a lovely evening with friends.

Had a lovely meal and the staff were very welcoming and friendly. Will definitely return the next time we visit Stafford

Great food great service (marred slightly by an unruly child) my mother and sister were equally impressed with the food

Booked here for our anniversary meal, what a lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and the food was absolutely amazing!! Service was fantastic they gave enough time for you to sit, look at the menus and even when you finished they didn’t rush to take plates. I had the carbonara and the profiteroles which I highly recommmed the best meal I’ve had in years!!

Absolutely gorgeous food and very attentive staff ! Definitely would come back. Dined with three of my granddaughters who chose your restaurant and all enjoyed their evening ! Particularly yummy deserts

We enjoyed a superb meal on Saturday night. The food was exquisite and the building warm and welcoming on a very wet night

My wife and I had our first dinner date here. A lovely evening each time we visit. The food is good quality and the portions are generous. Sentimental reasons for us too though. Nice staff and friendly relaxed atmosphere.

Lovely little restaurant with delicious food! 🤤 Friendly staff who were attentive and quick. We went early in the night so very quiet but started to pick up as we were leaving! Was a lovely place for date night!

Our visit was something that I wanted to do for my birthday. Being very fussy with my meals it was certainly not what I would normally eat. Having said that the Staff were very professional, friendly and efficient and made my visit an extremely pleasant one. The food was first class, very tasty and hot. If anyone wants Italian food then I would recommend this establishment 100%.

Food was amazing. Tasted great and portion sizes were perfect ⭐️ staff were super friendly and attentive. We will definitely be returning

Very clean as soon as you walk in. Great decor and very friendly staff nothing was too much trouble. The food was absolutely amazing and it’s well worth the money. Good size portions and we weren’t kept waiting long after we ordered. Staff are very attentive and cleared away the empty starter plate but they aren’t constantly hovering around. Very professional staff. Definitely would visit again

I used Vivere in September and said we would be back. We were with different friends. It is as good as ever with excellent food and service. Can get a little noisy if full but that is outweighed by everything else.

My son's favourite place to eat, we visited as a birthday treat for him as we have been a few times before. The restraunt was cold. We felt rude if we kept our coats on so we did take them off. There was no background music for a little while to set a nice atmosphere, it did however come on later during the meal. Starters were amazing as always. However we were a little disappointed with the portion size of the spaghetti bolognaise, it did resemble a child's portion. My partner commented to me that his starter was more filling than his main. We also ordered garlic bread which was forgotten and showed up halfway through the meal..... my partner had actually finished his bolognaise by this point. Desserts were lovely. I do feel the menu is overpriced for what you actually get. So we probably wouldn't visit as often as we would like to, which is a shame as we eat out quite often.

The Food was very average, first time visit with the family and probably won’t return, however the service was great staff very attentive and honest. After I had paid the bill they realised they had made an error and refunded back an overcharge.

Beautiful food as always. We have travelled a-lot around Europe and have yet to find anywhere that serves a better lasagne

The food was excellent and the staff were amazing. It was NYE and felt the atmosphere was lovely for a couple dining. Not overly expensive either which means we would return.

Gorgeous food, lovely atmosphere and friendly waiting staff. The prices are reasonable too for food. The restaurant is relaxed and comfortable - our go to for a date night.

Still the best Italian around . So Lucky to have it here in Stafford . Warm welcome and great food , great atmosphere and no crazy prices .

Fabulous food and lovely atmosphere as always. Calamari petfectly cooked. Love the risotto. The staff were great. We'll definitely be back

First time here but will be returning.Food was very good, nicely presented and arrived fairly quickly. Highly recommended

Delicious as always! Friendly staff and nice homely atmosphere. Great selection of starters, mains and desserts, everything cooked to perfection

Lovely friendly staff, they couldn't do enough for us. Food was amazing! Thank you for a lovely evening.

We came here for a family meal and it was amazing, the food was excellent, the staff were fantastic and we had a lovely time, we would definitely recommend and we will be coming back again. Thank you so much

Lovely food, good service and friendly staff. Prices seemed quite expensive even taking in account cost of living rises! But nice for a treat!

This is a true little gem. It’s an independent family run restaurant, who gives that personal welcoming experience. The food is deliciously outstanding, as the owner will only serve the freshest ingredients, which you can taste. Each time we visit we’ve come away thoroughly enjoying...

Positives First. Good friendly staff and good service. We have previously visited here and food was good . But now - We will never go again. The food was luke warm when served and missed any sort of Italian flavours and even Pizza lacked herb...

We have been here several times. and have never been disappointed. The food is consistently excellent and delicious, the service is great and we enjoy the whole experience. My four year old grandson loves it too, and always has a great fuss made of him....

Always have lovely food, friendly staff and a great atmosphere. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Service was excellent.

Absolutely loved this place! We were staying at the Travelodge and don’t know the area. Reserving a table online was really easy and when we arrived, the venue was warm and welcoming. We arrived at 7pm and the restaurant was already nicely busy. The staff...

Great meal really enjoyed it. Special mention for the staff very polite and attentive cant ask for much more

First time visit and wished I had found this wonderful place sooner. The staff could not have been more helpful and considerate. The food was of excellent quality and portion size. I will definitely be returning and recommending

Had a great evening here with friends. It was my first visit so didn’t know what to expect. The atmosphere was buzzing and the staff were very welcoming. I would have preferred a bar area where we could meet and mingle on arrival but that...

We booked well in advance but found they had put us in a back room it was ok but I prefer to sit in the main room. The food and service was ok the girls were very polite but some of the prices were a...

The food Ida really tasty especially we love the seafood pasta and seafood pizza very friendly service

Italian mealsok,however lasagne was blatent cheap frozen mince. And the chicken and chips is way overpriced!!!!! 26quid for chicken breast and frozen chips! I was intrigued about the chips so asked about where they were sourced as they reminded me of cheap tesco frozen chipS....

Came here for dinner on the 1 November 2023 And I was amazed about how good the food was here is what we ordered Starters (My dad) ravioli spinaci e riccotta (My mum) Bruschetta (Me and my brother) Garlic Bread Pizza Here is what we...

I was really looking forward to this meal but sadly I was disappointed. My venison was tough and chewy which is very unusual as venison is normally tender. There were hot and cold spots in my dish which was unpleasant and a bit worrying. The...

There were 8 of us, and everyone really enjoyed their choice from risotto, Calzone and pasta dishes. The desserts were lovely as well.

Best Italian restaurant in the area, we traveled seven miles to have a great meal ( as is always the case at Vivere ) despite having an Italian restaurant a short walk from our home in Eccleshall. The Vivere experience is well worth the journey,...

My wife and I have eaten here a couple of times now. Good service and really tasty food. Would highly recommend to anyone thinking of going.

Second time at this beautiful restaurant. Fantastic food, the staff are fantastic, can't do enough for you. The restaurant itself is relaxing and beautiful 🍕🥗🍲

Staff really friendly and helpful. Food was excellent and served quickly. The only thing I’d suggest is that since the new road has opened opposite the restaurant the car headlights at the traffic lights were blinding for someone facing the window. Drawing the blinds solves...

I have used Vivere off and on for many years. The current menu and team are excellent. The quality is good and the portions generous. The staff were very friendly and hardworking. Will be back.

Awful. No other words to describe it. Food blunt and terrible overlooked. One of the worst pizza I had in my life. Lasagne cooked to the point of disintegrating!

Très bon accueil. Un repas familial que nous avons dégusté avec beaucoup de plaisir. Tous les ingrédients sont frais.

First time visiting here Nice place on entry, Pleasant and helpful staff Food was very nice decent size portion 5 out of 5

We enjoyed a great meal yesterday evening at Vivere. The restaurant was very clean and well laid out. There was a friendly welcome from staff and the service was good throughout the evening. We shared Starters and desserts. The four of us each chose different...

First time here I would highly recommend not just for the friendly service but the food was fantastic, I think I have found my new favourite place to go.

We don't live locally but visit whenever we are in town. Had a great meal with good service from a lovely friendly member of staff. Sad to see steak has gone from the menu, but plenty to choose from.

From the moment we got there we were given the loveliest welcome, we are from Derby and was there for our daughter and son in laws 1st wedding anniversary, we were thoroughly impressed with the staff and how happy they were, and to top it...

Food was amazing, service was great from ray and lyndsay! Definitely reccomend as you can never go wrong with any of the food!

We've been a couple times, always feel it's nicer to go to an independent restaurant than a chain. The staff were brilliant, super friendly, couldn't do more for you - a real credit to the business. We unfortunately had an extremely loud large group in...

Fantastic food; lovely atmosphere; very friendly attentive staff and the best chef - Babak! Thank you for a lovely evening! Dawn

Fabulous food staff very helpful made it a really enjoyable experience also brilliant that you are not pestered throughout the dining experience as there is a buzzer on the table to use when you need anything

We decided to try our luck and ask for a table on a busy Saturday night. We only had to wait a minute before the very friendly waitress found us a table. The specials menu looked good but we both chose from the normal menu....

Entry to the restaurant encounters immediately its ambient tranquility. My friends and I selected main courses from Chef's Specials and all of us were delighted with our choices. Desserts were similarly enjoyed. The cheerful and attentive service we received from the waitress was greatly appreciated.

This was our first time at Vivere but it certainly won’t be our last! The food is honestly some of the best Italian fare we have eaten for some time. I had the Limoncello prawn special, whilst my husband had the special risotto, both of...

Great food the menu had some of the dishes you expect in an Italian but also some unusual twists and original takes especially on the specials menu. The quality was superb but the portions rather large. The pizzas were especially good. Service was friendly and...

Excellent food with great service and very well priced. A fantastic location to meet friends after work

Great food and great service. I would definitely recommend this place to other people and I’ll look forward to my next visit.

Beautiful food and lovely staff! We went for a birthday meal as a family, the staff were amazing with the kids. We ordered a range of things from the menu and everything was cooked perfectly, was so tasty. We will definitely be returning soon!

Had a fantastic meal tonight with family, food cooked to perfection. The lady waitress was very helpful kind and polite. Great service all round. Would definitely recommend and be visiting again soon.

We were very impressed with the quality of the food and very much liked the ambience of the resaurant. It's one of the best restaurants in Stafford without a doubt.

We visited with our Grandaughters and had a wonderful meal. The limoncello prawn linguine was absolutely delicious! We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Great service too. Highly recommended.

Went to this restaurant for our anniversary, the food was delicious and the portions just right. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and the service was excellent. We did not have to wait too long for the food and we enjoyed the atmosphere. We...

I haven't been recently so was slightly disappointed the starter wasn't as I remembered it, too much sauce, and the salmon Pasta tasted a little spicy... Very similar taste to the starter.... Presentation was good and staff were lovely.

You cannot beat this restaurant, the food is amazing and the staff so good and they are so attentive.

We have been to Vivere many times and we are always welcomed as friends. The quality and authenticity of the food is first class. It never appears to be over busy, the waiting staff are responsive and attentive without intrusion. There is a handy call...

Having traveled around Italy this is the best Italian authentic restaurant for food. We had a wonderful time with not only good food but attentive service professionally given. Been here many times. No doubt we will be back SOON !!!!

A very different Stafford restaurant. Offhand, I can’t think of anything other than pubs and Indian restaurants in Stafford. This Italian is a welcome change. The carte is not the extensive list of everything for everyone. But with the specials of the day, there is...

The food and service was excellent the waitresses was very good and the quality of the food was excellent highly recommended and well have no problem booking again

Great Italian food, must try the Italian ice cream Pleasant staff Prompt service Open late Reasonable prices

Having visited many times in the past and enjoyed the food and the ambience we went for Anniversary meal.Husband ordered Lasagne and myself the salmon pasta that i have enjoyed previous visits( succulent flakes of salmon in lovely creamy sauce)Meal arrived... Garlic/cheese bread overcooked and...

It was my birthday meal and the food and the staff were excellent. They made me feel very special which is not something I am used. It was a wonderful night that I will remember for a very long time. Thank you.

Excellent service tonight at Vivere. We shared the bruschetta and antipasto for starter and loved the broccoli 🥦 stem. Mains were delicious and perfectly balanced. Loved the Lemon spritz to cool us down 👍🏼🥂

Absolute 5 star customer service and high quality food very good value for money .Excellent and tasty homemade tiramisu

Great food and customer service. Portion sizes are also big so if you've got a big appetite then this is the perfect Italian for you.

Very good food . Large portion so good value for money. Waiting staff excellent. Highly recommended a visit and the tirimisu is to die for.

Can’t recommend the pasta al salmone enough! Super tasty and a massive portion - great value for money! The waitresses were all very friendly and gave us helpful recommendations. Restaurant is very small so would definitely book.

As good as always! Visited with friends. This was our friends first time there but won’t be their last. They loved it. Food was exceptional. It always is. Staff friendly and efficient. Restaurant clean and welcoming. What would I change? Absolutely nothing.

Time for a other meal out and this time with the parents, so where did we choose - Vivere again of course. Staff are polite and friendly, ambience is great and the food well.....does not disappoint once again. Our drinks order was taken and delivered...

Always a great meal at this lovely small restaurant. The staff are always welcoming and the food is excellent. Thanks to all that made our youngest’s 18th a wonderful evening.

Always first class food and a fabulous friendly welcome. Excellent menu with quality ingredients cooked with flair Thank you!!

Once again a great evening: friendly, welcoming, relaxed atmosphere, excellent food and service. Great, looking forward to the next visit.

First time here. Never been a big fan of Italian food but my partner, who loves this place, convinced me. I am converted, everything was delicious, even the draft Peroni. The food was to die for, pudding was amazing. Big shout out to the amazing...

We visited here while travelling north after checking reviews and menus online. We weren't disappointed. Best vegetarian and vegan selection of dishes we've ever found in an Italian restaurant. Our meals were delicious. Good size portions for hungry travellers. Staff were efficient, friendly and attentive....

A delightful night out. Food, as ever was superb. However, I was a little disappointed to discover that they had replace their Italian alcohol free beer with a German one. Good, but not as good. I would like to make a suggestion. Older people such...

Great service, warm and welcoming. The food was delicious with generous portion sizes. Highly recommended!

Poor food and service below par. We booked with a table of friends for Saturday night, took ages to get served and when we finally ordered some drinks it took over half an hour to get the beer we had ordered. The staff were friendly...
