Was at Vivaldi recently to celebrate a milestone birthday. We were a group of 8. The service was great, considering that the restaurant was busy & we were a big group. The food was amazing. Pizza, garlic shrimp, roasted potatoes, pasta & the grand Marnier chocolate cheesecake. These are some of the dishes was sampled & they were fantastic. I highly recommend this restaurant for celebrations or simply to have a nice meal out of the house.
We went there my son & I last night for dinner around 8:30 & showed up 15 minutes late but there was no issue they gave us a table right away now the table we got was against the small separating wall in the corner so between the front window & their kitchen & we were against the small wall in the corner so like literally in the corner so as far as seating it wasn't that great but everything else was good.
We were served by Jesse & found him serviceable & polite. He remembered to bring everything we asked for & more. They are lucky to have him working there, oh & Jesse also bragged about their head chef on how he was a'real superstar' who is one of the reasons we went there to begin with.
My son saw cooking videos of the chef on TikTok & said'he really looks like a chef, the kind you'd see in a movie' & he claimed the cooking skills he filmed on TT were impressive.
So we went to try it & it was really good we had the pizza with Italian sausage & pepperoni & it was a 12-in I believe it was way too much for me but it was delicious we just couldn't stop eating it was like a drug it was so good honestly worth going so you're not sure where to go tonight take a drive there on Gouin Blvd in Pierrefonds I will leave the address at the end but take the time You're not sure where to go you want a pizza you want pasta you want a steak you want some chicken you want some veal you want some amazing appetizers we had the calamari & it was the best we've had & I'm not just saying that I'm honest on my reviews seeing Im a local guide level 7 with almost 1 million views of my comments & I will always speak accurately, this place is highly rated & there's a reason for it if you have a chance go look at the videos on TikTok just put Vivaldi & you'll see the chef doing his thing & whatever you do try is hot jardiniere if you're a spicy food amateur will love it anyways the food was super fresh the service was super good Jesse was amazing, the place it was very busy with people everywhere & it was very good, I highly recommend it & don't forget to leave a review be honest I left a couple of pictures so you can look at their pizza & the calamari & like I said it's worth it to try it.

Hello again,
We also got the food delivered so go see my picks to see how it looks when it arrives at your place.
I went there last Saturday with my partner. It was our anniversary & we mentioned it on the reservation. We have been there on 2 previous locations & were satisfied overall. This time it was not. I ordered the veal scallopini & it was not what i enjoyed two months earlier. I called the waiter & he told me they had changed the recipe. I asked to order something else & I was told no. I realized after that the veal was actually pork. The meat was white not brown, cooked veal is not white. The horrid new sauce has a topping of chopped ham & the plate smelt like smoked meat. The new pasta sauce was terrible. I ate maybe 25% of the plate. I also noticed you dont get bread unless you request it, They didn't offer it either.
When it came to pay the bill they did not change to the billing method to calculate the tip as was required by law since May 2025 . The credit card terminal gave you a subtotal including taxes before tip. It is supposed to be subtotal before tax.
Did they mention anything about our anniversary. No
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.
I love this restaurant! The food is amazing & the service is perfect. The noise level can get a little high. I recommend all the pasta dishes & all of the pizza choices.
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
