Welcome to vivo When you join us for dinner, expect it to be a relaxing evening lasting a couple of hours over several piatti (courses). Your table comes alive when we present a variety of large offerings on platters or bowls within easy reach of all.

My husband and I ate a few of the items on the happy hour menu last night. At 4am my husband woke up in pain and was doubled over for several hours before we decided it was time to head to the Grey Nuns emergency department. Blood work and symptoms all consistent with food poisoning.
A traditional, family-style Italian restaurant in Edmonton’s west end, Vivo is favoured for their generous dishes, rich with flavour and rife with comfort. Vivo serves up classic pastas like spaghetti with Bolognese sauce alongside toothsome dishes like duck breast and leg with black garlic pesto, grilled blood orange and cannellini beans.
As a surprise birthday dinner one year, my friends took me to Vivo and I was not disappointed. Vivo serves traditional Italian cuisine in family portions meant to be shared the way Nonna intended. This is a place where you can spend hours sampling appetizers, sides, entrees and, of course, dessert. Their open kitchen concept creates a lively atmosphere. Try their gnocchi, polpettini (oven-roasted meatballs) and finish with tiramisu, naturally.
