Been living in the area for a while & always heard about this place & never went there. Boy I made a mistake! This place has great food, very comfy vibe, packed on a Tuesday! Also Great social media presence! Will not sleep on this place again!
Very nice little discovery.
Had fried calamari, nice batter, light well salted.
Had also grilled octopus, super crispy on the outside, nice & moist on the inside. Not rubbery or chewy.
As a main, we had seafood linguine & gorgonzola gnocchis. Both very delicious & generous portions. The sauce for the gnocchis was rich, creamy & cheesy.
Will go back to try something else.
Reservations are highly recommended.

My husband & I paid a visit to this restaurant last night.
First things first, the service is IMPECCABLE.
We reserved for 19:00, & the moment we sat down, our server almost immediately served us water & gave us a menu. A few minutes passed, then our server came again to check on us & asked us if we were ready to order, or if we needed more time (& we did need more time 😅), so he came back again to take our order (unfortunately, I don't remember our server's name, but he was efficient & knew how to do his job quite well!).
Unto the main dishes, we ordered Grilled Tunisian Octopus, & it was DELICIOUS!!! 🤤 The octopus was grilled to PERFECTION 👌 We also ordered The Fried Zucchini & Calamari combo. This appetizer was my husband's FAVORITE!!! 😁 Who knew fried zucchini would be so much better than fries!!! 🤩 The batter was not overwhelming. It was just the right amount for it to be crispy on the outside, yet still hold its form on the inside.
Shortly after our appetizer, our main dishes arrived! I got the Linguine Amalfitana (which is seafood pasta). The sauce was light & the linguine was al dente! The seafood consists of shrimps, scallops, mussels, & calamari. The scallops & calamari were cooked to perfection 👌 The shrimps were juicy 🤤 The mussels were fresh & yummy; our server even brought me a carving fork & a separate bowl for the mussels ☺? My husband chose the Tortellini Rosé & boy oh boy did he LOVE IT! It was nice & creamy, yet not overbearing. Also, we loved the flavor of the stuffed meat! We also got the Figlia Pizza on the side. The variety & the textures of the vegetables pair well with the cheese & dough.
Last but not least, DESSERT! I chose the Strawberry Almond Cheesecake, & my husband chose the Vanilla Crème Brûlé. These options were recommended by our server, & he definitely knew what he was talking about! 😄 The custard in the crème brûlé was light & not too sweet! My cheesecake was tasty, too! The strawberry syrup complimented the cheesecake so well, & the whipped cream they served with it was light & airy . It was a great way to end an awesome first visit at Vivaldi!
We 💯% recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an authentic Italian Restaurant on the West Island! What a GEM!!! 💎
I was expecting so much more based on the prices & the look of the restaurant! We had a pizza & gnocchi… let's just say I've had better frozen pizzas it's very hard to believe they were freshly made in their ovens. The gnocchi was nothing to write home about either. Cannot complain about the service though, the waiter was very pleasant.
Had an excellent evening here. The food was delicious & the staff is very friendly & attentive. The Veal Scallopini Marsala was spot on, the Padrino pizza was equally good. We will definitely come back to try more items. Highly recommended!

Good place to meet up with friends & eat a very generous portioned meal. Everything that I have had on menu is good: pasta, steak & pizza. Only thing is that if you sit near a group it gets very loud & you can hardly hear the people you are seated with.
Food was amazing & nice & fresh, service was top notch & steve even took his time to come speak to me & my future fiance at the table this place deserves the recognition it gets, plus more

I wanted to be happy with this restaurant as the last time I had gone was pre-covid & I loved it. Decided to go back again on Valentine's day with my husband. When we arrived the restaurant was full to capacity, but we had a reservation & were seated almost immediately, at a quaint little corner, which was quite pleasing to us.
We decided to order from the table d'hote, I got the grilled salmon & my husband the 14oz AAA steak (medium / rare). After our waiter took our order, he then mentioned that the steak does not include the peppercorn sauce & there would be an extra charge for it (we have never paid extra for the peppercorn sauce at any other restaurant before), nevertheless we still ordered it. When we finally got our food (maybe about 45 min later) we were not very impressed.....my grilled salmon was just ok, cooked right but not much flavor, my roasted vegetables were raw & tasteless & the kicker was my husband's steak which was super rare & not cooked in the middle. Good thing he ordered the extra sauce so he can cook his meat in it.
We then ordered our dessert & coffee, which again the waiter failed to tell us that espresso & cappuccinos would be extra.
I really hope the kitchen pays more attention to the food they dish out, because I would like to return again at some point.
Great tasting restaurant for a good price. I recommend the Gnocchi Gorgonzola 10/10, the gnocchi de la casa & the fried zucchini & calamari antipasto. Ambience is nice & the service is great. The BYOB is always a good thing.
For those who are frail & vulnerable to the cold. I would recommend to bring a light vest or sweater as it can be cold for those that are seated near the doors or windows of the restaurant. This of course is only for the coldest of winter days.
Excellent restaurant italien! La nourriture est impeccable & respecte les hauts standards de qualités d'une fois à l' autres. Le plus grand danger de donner une bonne évaluation à ce restaurant & que l'impact est que les places sont de plus en plus limités. Bravo!!!
