Fabulous food, service, & prices are reasonable. Good value for money, I was able to get a 3 course meal under $40 with mussels, pizza, tiramisu & tea included. Excellent experience, highly recommended.
Food & service was phenomenal. Maximus, our waiter, provided us outstanding service from beginning to end. & thank you Steve for taking the time to come to our table.
Visiting Montreal for a few days & definitely had to visit Vivaldi since I've been a huge fan of Chef Steve for a long time. The food & service went above & beyond my expectations.
The grilled octopus had a wonderful char-grilled flavour to it which was complemented by the capers & onions, & the seasoning oil tied all the flavours together beautifully.
The calf liver was soft, slightly sweet, & had such a great flavour to it, not to mention the demiglace that it was served with - I could eat just the sauce with some bread & be a happy man. The grilled vegetables were great for soaking up all the sauce & juices from the liver.
The tiramisu was soft, moist, & the sweetness of the cream was wonderfully contrasted by the deep, rich, bitterness of the cocoa powder.
Maximus took care of me & he was incredibly attentive & friendly despite how busy the restaurant was on a Saturday evening.
Huge thanks to Steve for taking the time to come meet & chat with me at the table, it was an absolute pleasure - I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town.
Fantastic food! Been waiting to come here for a year after following on Instagram. Was not disappointed. Tell your friends, this place is amazing for Italian inspired cuisine. Hopefully, we get to meet Steve next time.
Great dishes we tried: Calamari & zucchini, mussles marinara, Veal dijonaise, eggplant parmasean, chicken caccitore, fettuccine Alfredo (best ever) pizzas, tiramissu, cappuccino. All were excellent!
Because we are watching Vivaldi chef Steve on YouTube for a while.
We reserved & dine at Vivaldi on Thursday.
Oh my God! It's not just a hype. Everything was perfect. The restaurant is nice & big. The staff are super & professional. Our server was''Jade'', she's a real Perle. It's an open kitchen, so you can see 6 chefs working hard, but seems loving cooking. Dave (Steven's brother) is the symphony conductor. Both of them are so nice & friendly. I had (I think, the best plate on earth) the grilled octopus for appetizer. The home made sausage is also very good. The chocolate Grand marinier cheesecake is Devine. It's a bring you own wine/beer restaurant. & the prices are less than any other restaurant. What's not to love about it. Thank you Steven & Dave for a wonderful experience. We'll be back real soon. Even with a 2 hour drive.
Amazing food & even better service! I found out about this restaurant on YouTube.It absolutely didn't disappoint. I met Dave, one of the co-owners, who is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. Liz & Dean took care of me & made sure I had the best meal in Montreal. I highly recommend it. I'll definitely be back.
Huge portions & good prices. We went on Friday June 19th for the first time & will definitely be back!
Our server, Tanner was simply the best. He was always attentive & one step ahead of us-before we even had to ask for anything, he was already taking care of it. His kindness, professionalism, & attention to detail made our experience exceptional from start to finish.
