As fans of Vivaldi's on Instagram & YouTube, my wife & I were really looking forward to finally visiting - & it definitely lived up to the hype. We came all the way from Quebec City & had a great evening.
The service was excellent from start to finish. Our waiter, David, was attentive & nice. We also had the pleasure of meeting Steve, the owner, which made the night feel even more personal & welcoming.
As for the food - we loved it. I had the pizza, which was piping hot, fresh, & full of flavour. My wife had pasta & was equally impressed. Everything came out quickly & was clearly made with care.
That said, there were just a couple of small things that stood out. The squid appetizer was very good but the onions were cut way too large. & the Caesar salad could've used a bit more dressing. It was still tasty, but felt a bit on the dry side.
Aside from those two minor things, the whole experience was really solid. Great ambiance, great food, big portions & genuine people behind it all. We'd definitely come back next time we're in town!

I'm in Texas, USA. I've never ate food at Vivaldi. I have watched many videos where chef Steve makes delicious food from scratch. You hardly ever see a restaurant with no secrets of the food on their menu. For that reason alone, I'd drive up just to support, eat & experience Vivaldi's food.
While visiting from the US, this was a must do for me & the team at Vivaldi did not disappoint. The food was exceptional & prepared to perfection. The team was attentive & provided gold star service. The energy, aesthetics, music, & of course the cuisine were all remarkable. Thank you, Team Vivaldi!

Second time here, my daughter follows the chef on Instagram so we had to come eat, friendly staff & great food. The gnocchi is awesome as well as the fried zucchini, just to name a couple.
As we entered we were immediately greeted by some of the kindest staff I have ever encountered. Fluent English was a big help since my French is poor
Food was great, pizza was hot & fresh, generous amount of high quality toppings, flavourful sauce. Crispy but tender crust. Special shout-out to Steve on the home made sausage.
Caesar salad was so crisp & fresh, could taste the anchovies in the sauce, that or the most flavourful capers I have ever tasted lol. The small was more than enough to go with my pizza as I needed a to-go box to finish the pizza later on at home.
I had originally wanted to go there from seeing the YouTube videos. We actually changed the trip around last minute so we'd be able to make it for dinner without rushing the last day, you folks got busy very quickly once we were done our meal so I didn't get the chance to meet Steve. But, We will be back
I went to Vivaldi for my birthday dinner & left completely satisfied! They had a new type of veal scallopini with a Dijon mustard, pesto, white wine & cream sauce that was *incredible* & definitely belongs on the permanent menu. The minestrone was great, tender veggies & not too salty. For dessert, I had tiramisu & they certainly didn't skimp on the portion size! All in all a delicious & very reasonably priced meal.
We drove just under 3 hours from Vermont to experience Vivaldi. My son & I love watching the YouTube content. He says Steve is the best chef on YouTube. So, for his birthday, I took him. & it was very well worth it! The service, the atmosphere, the food, all 10 out of 10. We got to meet Steve, too! Thank you for that! I'm Dad of the year now lol. From the moment we walked in the door till the moment we walked out, the staff was great! Warm & welcoming, knowledgeable about the menu, as we had questions. There's nothing like eating food that you can taste the freshness & simplicity. All the flavors were there. A very memorable meal & a very memorable experience. Thank you Steve & staff!
