Portuguese & Italian dishes on the menu threw me off a little but the service was accommodating & it was fun guessing the cover songs that were playing.
Be aware that the paella takes about 40 minutes to prepare. The seafood rice casserole that was offered as an alternative arrived quickly & it was pretty good. Nata de ceu wasn't for me, but definitely recommend to anyone who like Maria biscuits, nice presentation too.

Fantastic Italian restaurant in the Plateau neighborhood. My wife & I went out for a date night after a heavy rain & after we put our son to bed. The service was outstanding from the moment we walked in. They were very welcoming & spoke English which made it easy as tourists. We got some wine & a burrata appetizer which was fantastic especially with the homemade focaccia. Then my wife got the lasagna & I got the cacio e pepe. Both were amazing with the pasta being homemade. We really enjoyed our meal & were very impressed with the service. Overall it was a great meal.

What a hidden gem!! The menu is half Italian, half Portuguese. The prices are very reasonable (check out their menu online) with great specials. I went there planning on having Portuguese food but the special on pasta was too good to pass up. I was blown away by the fresh pasta with mushrooms & truffle paste. It was phenomenal! Service was great. Nice atmosphere. Definitely returning to this restaurant!!

On a whim, I ordered a paella at an Italian restaurant, wanting to try how Italians cook Spanish dishes. The rice was good, but it might have been cooked over time , & the rice absorbed the flavor of bouillon, this was it a bit too salty. I didn't smell the special saffron flavor, which was a bit disappointing. In fact, the menu selection is quite dazzling, making people feel hesitant. The dining space is spacious & quiet.

I went for my graduation party! The food, the ambiance, the decor & service was impeccable. I recommend this place for anyone who wants to try Italian/portuguese cuisine. The drinks are also delicious. It's my 3rd time here & I will continue coming back!

Delicious food with fresh ingredients served as an art for its taste & creativity. The service is welcoming & very professional; the client's experience with food & social gathering is a priority to the owner & his staff members. Parking is also easy to find. The blend of Portuguese & Italian cuisine made it a perfect Mediterranean experience. The chef has a magical touch; try it & you'll understand. I highly recommend to try both the Portuguese & Italian dishes. One of my favourites is the octopus served on a bed of homemade hummus, the fish stew, the chicken & the pizza. Ps. Everything is homemade like in Portugal & Italy.. Pasta & pizza dough are made at ViVa.
