A large waiter came out to growl at us to get off the patio! 5 minutes later he grudgingly let us in. Then the officious "maitre d" seated us inside at a rickety little table under a blazing naked light bulb. And deigned to serve a couple of glass of sour white wine. Then came a big tour bus group of noisy Americans... At this point, we cut our visit to this horrible place short and headed to the Airelles for a civilized meal with pleasant wait staff.

Having the table next to the host, we saw and heard all the interactions.

No one was told a time limit. How to account for this? I have my suspicions. Would not go back.

Food: They have a little bit of everything. We ordered the Provencale salad, salad verte and frite maison. The Provencale salad exceeded expectations. It had a small glass of gazpacho, cheese, ham, lettuce and other vegetables. The frites were a bit soggy. Drinks: We ordered a bottle of water and an orangina. Price: 24.50 euros for for two people which is reasonable for this area. Ambiance: There wasn't much of an ambiance. Feels like a local hangout. Service: The service was good and friendly. Our food came out pretty quickly. They even brought out a bowl of water for our dog without us asking for it which I thought was nice. Would I go back? Yes, I would go back for lunch.

Every tiny supplement is charged separately, even though the base price is already absurd. The pasta bolognese was a joke -- dry, bland, and absolutely not worth the €23 they dare to ask for it. The wine was extremely basic, yet they charge €22 for a simple carafe. Service was unfriendly and uninterested. We clearly said we weren't satisfied, and they didn't even bother to ask why. The only thing that seems to matter here is putting something on a plate and cashing in. Never again.

Vivotto is a five-star cafe for so many reasons…read more Great, innovative concept. The owner prepares meals daily and packages them in short mason jars with those easy-to-open latches so you can mix and match what you want to eat. You can eat in or take away your meal. They make all of their meals from scratch including making their own pasta. They make all of their fruit juices and most of their pastries. They do sell beet and wine and little sweet treats that aren't their own but these fill in to complete their menu. The space is super clean, bright and happy, very welcoming. They are open long hours every day of the week without the typical afternoon gap many restaurants have. They have enough people working for them that they don't need to take all or part of August off because of burnout after Festival d'Avignon, an annual live theater festival, held throughout July. Because they do pitch this as an Italian cafe they do offer a lot of high carb meals, your basic pastas. I wish they had more things like salads but I won't fault them for not because they are an Italian restaurant and they have done everything to perfection. Kudos to you, Vivotto.

I don't often write negative reviews,…read morebut this cafe owner chased me down the street yelling when I took a photo of the front of the place! Our family sat down, ordered espressos and a sandwich for our son. There were two other people in an otherwise completely empty place. The waitress says "one sandwich for four people? No!" And when we politely tried to explain it was just for our son who was starving she went to get someone, the owner I suppose. He came back and was for some inexplicable reason furious at us and yelled "this is a restaurant! You EAT here! If you want a coffee go to a bar!" And proceeded to kick us out. I am well aware of how French people find American tourists annoying so believe me we try to be as polite and aware as possible. I can understand if the culture is more strict about only sitting down in a restaurant if you are ordering food. But regardless, rudeness, aggressive, hateful attitudes don't work in any culture. He could have politely said the same thing and we would likely have apologized and thanked them and left. Instead, he followed us out the door, and when I took a photo of the place he started yelling sarcastically and aggressively "take a picture of me! You have to EAT at a restaurant!" I can't imagine how anyone in the service industry could survive like this - and maybe they shouldn't.

The workers inside speak English, and many of the other tables seemed to be filled with English-speaking tourist groups. The dinner menu consists of around 4 entree options, 7 main course options, and 4 dessert options. To start, we ordered the salmon tartare with guacamole. It comes in a jar with a side salad. The portion for this one is on the smaller end - we were fine with sharing, but I can see someone ordering this just for themselves if they're super hungry. The salmon was pretty fresh and a good pairing with the bread. For the main courses, we ordered the duck breast, truffle ravioli, and cod fillet. Service was quite fast, especially considering that the restaurant was almost full by the time we had finished our appetizer. The duck breast was very tender, and the chief sauce used was delicious! The truffle ravioli had delicious Parmesan sauce. I do wish there was a stronger hint of truffle in the sauce, but the dish was still good, as the pasta was al dente and chewy. The cod fillet had a fragrant saffron white butter sauce which complemented the tender fish well. I also really liked that it came with side vegetables, definitely a healthier dish! We ended with the cheesecake, which was smooth and creamy, with tangy raspberry sauce drizzled over. Delicious food, bustling atmosphere, and quick service! Quite satisfied with this great meal in Avignon :)

So we made up our minds that we would "get what we get and not throw a fit." When we ordered we told the owner what we would like on our piadinas.

He and his wife really knew their stuff. The ingredients were fresh and delicious and the wine was fabulous. The whole experience was just... fun!! The restaurant was small and cozy, and the owner was so gracious and patient with us given that we didn't speak his language. I highly recommend this restaurant and we will definitely go back if we are ever in that area again.
