A west island staple for italian cuisine. Well priced, bring your own wine. Delicious Italian classics. The fried calamari was fresh. The octopus was well seasoned & tasty. The eggplant parm was good & the veal masalla didn't disappoint. Great portion sizes. The service was on point. Very satisfied with my first time experience. Great italian cuisine, I would highly recommend trying it out.

I don't know what the people making 1 star reviews are smoking , but they need to'put the pipe down' ...
This place was Dynamite! Everything about it. I recommend the Grilled Cream Salmon & the Aglio E Olio (which tastes like my Grandma used to make it) & it's bring your own wine.
Bring your own wine restaurant which is always nice. We had the sausage sub. The sausage is made in house which is great, but it was on the dry side. The bread & fries were over cooked unfortunately. The pizza we ordered was better. The ingredients were fresh & generously topped. The service was great! The waiter was young & was on point.

We went out for a family celebration, a party of 6. We had been here before & thoroughly enjoyed it. Everyone went with the Table D' Hôte menu. Two of us had the Caesar salad & the rest had the House salad, both were plentiful & enjoyable. I ordered the Veal Scallopini with capicollo, sage, red wine & demi-glace. I found the addition of cut up capicollo, a very strange addition to the dish & did not like the sauce at all. It came with a choice of vegetables or pasta with tomato sauce. After adding parmesan, pepper & chili peppers, it was good. I think, next time, I will stick with a pasta dish or seafood. The people who chose the Sautéed Shrimp
with wild mushrooms, garlic, brandy & cream enjoyed it. Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of mushrooms & there were plenty in the dish. The menu also includes coffee or tea & a choice from their excellent dessert menu. I thought the Vanilla Crème Brulé was good (still waiting for the Chocolate Crème Brulé, which is better than Vanilla) & most of the table who chose the Strawberry Almond Cheese Cake, went crazy over it. The Bring Your Own Wine is a definite plus. Very loud & next to impossible to hear anyone unless they are talking in your ear.
Great bang for the buck! Love the fact you can bring your own wine! Never once was my partner & I disappointed! Met the owners a few times, they always take time to take care of their customers! Have never seen any of their staff playing around on their phone, the young staff works hard! Love this plate!!!
Food was good, but really nothing to bring home. For examples on the pasta, they use Parmesan cheese instead of Parmesiano, which just doesn't taste the same
Portion wise is pretty good, big enough for one person but might be lacking if you're hungry
Taste wise it could be better, it's lacking a certain freshness in most of its
ingredients. Pasta is overcooked
Service wasn't very good we waiting a long time & as it turns out our server was late so there weren't anybody to take our orders
Ok. So I reviewed the reviews of this restaurant & immediately got the feeling that this is a version of the famous sources boulevard Italian eateries called Del Friscos. I happen to generally enjoy Del Friscos so I thought I would try Vivaldis. So here is the review. Interior. Basic & lacking sound absorption so it's quite a noisy place - but so is Del Friscos for the same reason. Value. Portion is reasonable as is the freshness of ingredients. In terms of what you're going to eat as a dish on the whole this is a little different. We had a house salad, cheese pizza, & chicken Parmesan with tomato sauce & noodles as its accompaniment. The pizza sauce lacked zest & it tasted on the bland side. The dough was fine in flavour & texture but was a very floppy crust line a dominos or pizza pizza crust & you can only eat this by folding the slice it using a knife & fork. Salad was a good portion with nice ingredients though appears bland as there is no flair to it such as shaved Parmesan or colourful veggies except for a hot pepper. The chicken parm was the weakest dish. The chicken was about 25% while the breading was about 75% & was also cooked too much & tasted somewhat burnt. When you cut into the chicken all the breading fell off indicating poor technique in the breading if the chicken. The size of the thinned out chicken breast was actually not very large are you remove all the breading & as such your made to think you have a large portion with all the cheese covered breaded chicken, where in fact there very little chicken which at near $30 it should have a decent sized piece of chicken. An example of a proper sized chicken breast can easily be seen at Del Friscos where it's always juicy (here it was thin & consequently dry), moist, tender, lightly breaded where the breading remains on the chicken when you cut into it. Additionally there is not sufficient sauce which is one of the cheapest ingredients & should not be skimped on. As with the pasta it was really nothing special. A small portion of noodles & then a lack lustre tomato sauce. I like more sauce to my pasta as it's what it's all about, unless you have fresh pasta. & as such asked for extra sauce. There was no extra sauce & the noodles were lightly touched with the sauce. Now some people believe that this is the way to eat their noodles however I am not of the same kind. So if you enjoy little sauce with your pasta the. You are just fine. The slightly warmed buns we fine & had a lovely aroma, however, the type of bread they use makes it not as soft & a harder chewy crusty that's even a slight challenge to test it apart in two. Not that the issue is strength to split, the point is to have a light airy almost pollowy roll. Bring your own wine is nice. Service was adequate as well. The audience appears to be a majority of 55 years & older so perhaps this is like a Miami early bird crowd. Not a date night place.
I love this hidden Gem! The chicken parmigiana was the best I ever had. I changed my pasta for some tortellini rosée & we shared a pizza ( bacon onions for me ) everything was amazing. Good service, nice ambiance & you can bring your own wine/beer. Will be back!
The best ,that's where My wife loves to go & myself for anything for a birthday party celebration or friends nite out the price is very good .& bring your own wine the food absolutely amazing what ever you order Thanks Vivaldi's & the team
We have dined at Vivaldi Pierrefonds every 2 weeks or so for the past year. We find the food is exceptional. It is a bring your own wine restaurant. I love their Vivaldi subs with Italian Sausage while my wife loves their pizza's. We have also had their penne romanoff which is also great. To top it all off, the service is outstanding. Every one of the waiters or waitresses have done an outstanding job while we were there. The owners are always present so things always run efficiently. Just a great restaurant.

Love this place ! You can bring your own wine, the service is good & so is the food, I would recommend this place for a date night or even a ladies night :) Cheers.
Overall solid restaurant. Dishes are simple & tasty. Pastas & apps were good. Being able to bring your own wine is nice. Good service. Atmosphere & interior design is basic, but I would eat there again.
Vivaldi is a local gem. Dave & his team have crafted a unique dining experience. The food is bursting with flavor, especially the pasta dishes. Plus, it’s a bring-your-own-wine spot, making it even better. Don’t miss this fantastic local restaurant!
