We love Vivo and can't recommend it highly enough. The food, service, and atmosphere are all first class. They have some great offers on in the week, but this is a great local restaurant, and we're lucky to have it in Stapleford.

We were driving from Yorkshire to London on the M1 and did not want to stop at motorway services. We discovered this place and it was a lovely surprise. Very friendly proprietor and tasty food at an incredibly reasonable price. Prompt Service, lovely lunch and soon on our way again.

Lovely to come again to Vivo for my son’s birthday. Staff attentive and somehow remember our families names even. Food great as always. Always a pleasure - child friendly and accommodating of our (somewhat boisterous!) children See you again soon!

Not so impressed. Never had salmon in sauce served with chips. This drinks were also expensive at £14+ for a pint and a glass of red wine. Sorry, but this is a case of must do better to serve quality food and drinks set at an equitable price. .

It was a Saturday night, it was full and the atmosphere was lively. The service was excellent and the attitude and efficiency of the staff indicated a well trained, happy team. The two owners were constantly calling the orders in Italian adding to the atmosphere. I started with prawns and then a rich Lasagne. Finished with a Tiramisu and an Affogati.

First, let me state I have never stepped foot in this place, I am not really sure where it is? , my partner went tonight with 2 of her friends for a meal, they are not the biggest eaters, but they really enjoyed their meal, because they had food over and it was so nice they asked to take the remainder in a carton to take home, when my partner came home she asked I wanted the chicken stroganoff she had returned home with, I had already eaten earlier but thought why not, it looked really creamy and plenty of chicken in...wow!.... it was superb, as good as anything I have ever eaten and I have been to some top restaurants all over Europe, so much so that I find myself giving a review to somewhere I have never been!... it was that nice....

Had enjoyed a couple of meals at Vivo whilst visiting family who live locally. Had been impressed by the quality of the food which had prompted us to book again. Visited today for a family lunch which was delightful. Authentic very tasty food ( loved the special menu and traditional dishes ). Plenty of choice and beautifully presented food at reasonable prices. The service was welcoming and attentive without being intrusive. Massimo and the rest of the team created a warm and friendly environment and we could have stayed there all afternoon. We wish we had this restaurant on our doorstep Grazie mille……..non vediamo l'ora della nostra prossima visita

Went here for the first time, mid week around 6:45, and was it busy, and justifiably so. The food and service was excellent , and they offer 2 menus, one of specials until 7pm and a full ala carte. We went with the specials , and the food was very good, although vegetables etc are charged extra. Great Italian restaurant atmosphere, with happy and friendly staff, working together as a team. We will certainly come back again.

I’ve been to Vivo many times over the last couple of years having moved to the area and the food is always great, the welcome friendly and the service spot on. I would wholeheartedly recommend a visit and I especially like the chicken dishes (my wife is vegetarian and has always enjoyed the food too). There is a really nice and relaxed atmosphere at the restaurant and I always walk home, either on my own or as a couple, very happy I went that evening (lucky to have the place just a 5 minute walk away!) 🇮🇹

This was our first visit to this fantastic, friendly restaurant. The service was impeccable, my peroni was served in a chilled glass , prawn starter was a taste explosion , and as for my calzone, wow it was huge and delicious. Italian music played and the whole experience was special . We never waited to be asked for another drink and the owner Massimo introduced himself and asked how our meals were. Credit where credit is due guys , we will be back soon.

The food was absolutely delicious, with every dish beautifully prepared and bursting with flavor. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making us feel right at home. The staff went above and beyond to make the day special, even singing a cheerful "Happy Birthday" in Italian to my brother. We were made to feel truly excellent from start to finish.

What an amazing evening for my Dad's 80th. This is a superb Italian restaurant with an authentic Italian vibe. We always feel so special coming here The food is consistently of a superb standard, the service second to non and the atmosphere perfect. Massimo has worked tirelessly to build the reputation of this little gem of a restaurant in the heart of Stapleford. I do read reviews - all those reflecting the positive attributes of Vivo - and there are many - are accurate. Any negative - few and far between - are more a reflection of the people writing them than the restaurant itself in my view.

A terrible place to eat, when for a birthday meal last night the place was very loud with staff shouting at people as soon as we walked through the door, we were seated right by the bar and the staff had to squeeze past behind my seat disturbing me when ever they bought out food, when the waiter bought out our tables food he was shouting each dish aggressively as us then when nobody claimed the garlic bread he stood there just shouting "GARLIC BREAD!" until we told him to just leave it on the table, we were not allowed to put our own cheese on our food they had some kid sprinkle it for you! The door was poor I was served a piece of rubbery chicken wrapped in bacon with basically just tomato past dumped on top with a handful of chips, altogether a loud atmosphere, staff shouting nonstop and food not brilliant

Vivos restaurant is situated on the main road in stapleford & has very good connections for local transport & has a very nearby bus stop , plus it's very own car park to the rear which is free for it's customers , so no worries about time slots for parking charges . The premises are kept clean to a very high standard & I noticed a hand sanitizer dispenser is available for customer use , which is a good option for safety & hygiene . The decor is ultra modern contemporary & mood lit with various lighting features that are changing throughout the day , depending on the time of your visit , the night time is especially pleasant as the blue hues & spot lit corners add to a very romantic & intimate atmosphere . The music policy at the time of my visit was modern Italian popular music & it was playing at an ambient level of volume so as not to overpower the vivo dining experience . The food @ vivos is classic Italian & also some modern takes Vivo style !! , which are prepared by the highly skilled Vivo chefs , who can be seen working Their magic in the open view chefs cooking station which is a unique feature of the restaurant . The pizza here is a hand crafted variety & not a generic bought in base !! , so please don't expect a uniform mass produced style pizza , this is classic pizza & pizza done well !! . Vivos also do have an extensive varied menu that caters for most tastes , from pasta to meat & fish options , plus a Prezzo fisso menu for the early diner , which is a good value for money option . Vivos also has a good selection of alcoholic drinks & a good selection of Italian fruit soda's which are sensibly priced , I had the house wine upon my visit & it was of a very good standard ! , particularly the rosé which was very easy going & served well chilled . The staff/ owners are very welcoming , polite & friendly & always make your visit a special one . So if you like classic Italian food & good service , coupled with pleasant surroundings then vivos could be your next place visit . RECOMMEND PIZZA THE CLASSIC MARGHERITA , RECOMMEND LIQUOR THE CLASSIC STREGA !! traditional herbal liquor from Benevento , a must for the more adventurous drinkers !! .

Decent sized portions for 2 course options. Massimo and Alesandro are welcoming and funny. Lots of Italian banter across the dining room and it's a lovely welcoming atmosphere and GREAT for families with children too. Parking at rear and the bus stop is literally right outside the restaurant to Notts, Derby, Long Eaton/Sawley, Ilkeston etc so easily accessible if you want to make the most of the wine list too ;-) Definitely be back again soon with my family.
