We did a family dinner here for my birthday. We were 4 adults & my 3 kids ages 7,6 & 4. Loved the atmosphere in the restaurant, even when it was full it wasn't too loud. The server we had Max, was so great! Very personable & fast service. The food was delicious! We ordered appetizers & entrées, we were all very impressed with the portion sizes & the price. The restaurant was packed on a Tuesday, thay alone is a testament for how good it is. You need to make a reservation to ensure you have a table. Attached some pics, the penned was split between my daughter & I so those two bowls are actually one portion.
My family have celebrated 2 very important milestone events at this establishment & we have had an amazing time on both occasions. The food is very tasty, with good portions & staff are very polite & attentive.
Worthy of notable mention was our server Dean; excellent customer service & very patient & accommodating. Dean, I hope this message gets back to you; customer service & care is so important in this day & can easily make or break a customer's experience. You are always the gold standard & our family has voiced how awesome you were on both occasions. Thank you very much & we look forward to returning to this restaurant.

By chance I discovered this gem of a restaurant on social media & to find out it's in my old neighborhood. So I decided to bring my family to dinner & find out what it's about. They didn't disappoint my family & myself. From the appetizers through the main course & finally the awesome desserts. They didn't fail us in anyway.
Food... Very good. The lamb chops, the veal liver, the pizzas, the eggplant. The salmon is average.
Service... Fast, friendly & efficient
Atmosphère... Noisy... When making a reservation make sure that you all a table far from the kitchen. Otherwise, you will smell like Vivaldi kitchen on your way out
Suitable for family gathering or business (after you signed the contract) but not business negotiation.
Our new go to for family events. Excellent food, super fresh & delicious! The staff looks happy & its an open kitchen which is fun to watch. Bonus it's BYOB.
My daughter & I were there on August 16 it was our first time in Quebec & in Montreal we were staying downtown at Saint Martin & got an Uber to come out for dinner. It was super busy, but it was still good to see Steve & Spiro working as we have only watched them on social media & absolutely love them! My daughter said to tell the chefs it was the best fettuccine Alfredo she's ever had in her life & I agree 100%.
Vivaldi is part of a lifetime memory with our family. Thank you so much.!!!!
Kind regards, Lucas & Sophia Kiffiak

First heard about this place through YouTube & it did not disappoint. Thank you Steve for stopping by to say hello, & thank you for the delicious meal that we got to share with family!
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.
Attended a family surprise dinner of roughly 25 people & was very impressed by the food, & even more so by the service. We had one waiter, Dimitri, who saw to the whole group & he was fantastic. Things went very smoothly - food all arrived at the same time (& hot!). Everyone was very pleased. I would definitely recommend a visit & hope to return!

I went to Vivaldi last month for my birthday with my family, all the way from New Jersey. My expectations were high, & they were blown away. The food, service, everything was exceptional. Our waitress Jade was very friendly & attentive. The Gnocchi de la casa was spicy & smooth, Chicken de la casa was bursting with flavor, & the Chicken tetrazini was amazing.
The fried zucchini appetizer was crisp & delicious, & the sauce was great. The creme Brulee was the best I have ever had. The texture was fluffy & smooth, & the sweetness was just right.
Chef Steve even stopped by our table to say hi! If you like Vivaldi's YouTube videos & are curious, make the trip! You will have amazing food & exceptional service. This was a birthday I will never forget, & I hope to be back soon!
I had seen short videos of them online which inspired me to look them up. We went to celebrate my wife's birthday & we were very pleased that we went. The food was very good & served quickly. The appetizers ( garlic bread & calamari ) were very good. Everything that we ordered was delicious & served hot. Very fresh. Our family ( myself , wife & 18 year old twins ) enjoyed everything. Our waiter was extremely poliand efficient. We went with the expectation of a good family restaurant & it met every expectation. It is the very definition of finding where the locals go because you know it will be good. Very busy & loud but I'm saying that as a good thing because it shows how popular it is. Well deserved reputation. We will definitely go back.
This is our favourite & go to restaurant. We celebrate most milestones there & take out our friends & family when possible. Great food. Great service. The only thing I would love is a whole grain/multi grain pasta option for diabetics. We try & limit our visits because of this & this would give us the option of going more often.
