Great pizza at a reasonable price with good service. With wine & tiramisu it was ~$50

Stopped in last weekend after a candlelit concert around the corner, & we were pleasantly surprised. We ordered a pizza & some wine, & everything was absolutely delicious. The staff was incredibly friendly & attentive, & the whole place had a very comfortable, welcoming, family-run feel.

Great atmosphere, great service, great food. We'll definitely be back. Good vibes all around.

Stunning transformation & a great venue for an intimate dinner or a celebrations Looking forward to some great wines & some great meals

Finally made a dinner date with Viva Restaurant &Bar. Both my wife & I were wowed with the presentation & the flavors presented to us. We started the night with Bacalhau a Braz. This was superb. Both the presentation with string fries on top & delicious all around. Second we had Bacalhau a lagareiro & Jarret D'Agneau. My wife was over the top with the Bacalhau. One of the best she has had. My Jarret was deliciously placed on a bed of mash potato that was buttery smooth. Chef Marino is on the mark. He hasn't lost a beat. A complete redo.

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.

We had some Portuguese appetizers & some pasta as main. Everything was excellent but the mushroom pasta was outstanding!!! The wine selection is very good & inexpensive. The Aperol spritz was spot on. I have been telling everyone I know about this place & already planning our next visit!

The place was nice. Good, well it was good but I asked for a white wine pasta dish & got let's just say I didn't get it. No one served our table, drinks were always empty glasses. They need better management. Over all I would recommend you a least give it a try. We all experience things differently. Enjoy!
