Last Saturday I went to Vivaldis's restaurant & all I can say is WOW 😍. The waitress Jade took such good care of us. She was so attentive & made us feel at home, excellent service! For the main course I got the chicken casa, a salty, savoury, creamy masterpiece. Topped with sun-dried tomatoes to complete the sensory experience. For the dessert I had the crème brûlée, crispy on the outside, giving stand offish vibes but on the inside she's sweet & delicate like a ballerina performing a pirouette on the tip of your tongue. All in all I'd give it a 10 on 10. Well done guys!
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.
Took a 2 hour detour to come visit after seeing Steves videos on YouTube. Food was exceptional. I had fettuccini Gigi which was the best I've ever had. Appetiser calamari was excellent & my kid said the chicken parm was unbelievable. Well worth the detour.
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.
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.

I never usually leave reviews, probably one of the first times. Came by recently & the food was amazing. Found this place through its social media presence & I would honestly definitely recommend. To the point it got me leaving a review.

Been frequenting this restaurant for the past 16+ years. Quality has never diminished. Always top notch quality & service. Everything on the menu is good, fresh & they use quality ingredients. The wait staff is very attentive & professional. The place is by far my favorite restaurant.
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!

Food is great but I have been there four times in the past year & always seated near the ice machine or where the servers throw the dishes. Tonight, our 48th wedding anniversary my husband asked not to be seated near the kitchen when making the reservation & guess where we were seated. Right beside where the dirty dishes are put. Very frustrating.
