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.

My husband has followed Vivaldi for so long & we were so excited to try it. We both loved this place! The linguine tetrazzini was amazing & same with the crème brûlée. We will definitely be back (also remember to bring your wine & don't forget like we did haha!)
Wow! We had been planning a trip to Montreal for a while & then Steve's videos started popping up in my feed. His passion for making delicious food was inspiring so of course we added Vivaldi to our itinerary! So glad we did! The food was amazing. I got the Fettuccine Gigi & got to sample the Alfredo & con pollo i crema from my daughters. My wife got the lasagna & my son got the spaghetti Bolognese. All so delicious! Huge portions, too! Very friendly staff. Sadly they don't have a wine menu - it's BYOB. Maybe I missed a video on why? Zoning? Anyhow, I was the DD so it's probably just as well. Next time. We hope to return before too long.
My husband & I have enjoyed Vivaldis for years. I understand everyone has bad days & I believe our waiter was experiencing one on July 1st. Very polite young man, however he accidentally knocked my glass of wine all over me. I was very understanding & felt bad for him. These things happen ( & it was white wine. No biggie)He was very apologetic & we proceeded through our meal.
I was slightly disappointed that we weren't offered some compensation be it a salad or coffee. To me I would consider this a lack of customer service.
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.
Doesn't look upscale, not too big. The food is very good. Who likes Italian dishes, it is the place to go. It's a little hidden, but it can be found. Reservation is a must. It is not open late during workdays. I had to book for 6 persons 3 days ahead. It was worth it. One should not forget that you drink the alcohol that you bring with you. It is drink your wine type of restaurant, what makes it more affordable.
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!!!
