Initially there was no seat available and they offered one in 30min so we came back and SO glad we did! Full of friendly and happy locals so you know it's delicious. I had one of their home made bolognese pastas and my husband the pizza, both perfect. Excellent price and portions. We are coming back tomorrow, our last day!

I wish I could say that we had a great meal but we never got that far. We ordered drinks and were…read morehoping to order 3 pizzas for our family of 4. No said the proprietress. What was shocking was the snarkiness and rudeness of her reply. Explaining we should have know that before we sat down but really there were no signs. So we paid our bill and left. As did the table of two right beside us for the very same reason. I do understand it's the rule of restaurant and that is not my issue. It's the absolute rudeness and dismissiveness of the proprietress that earned the 2 stars.

I enjoyed a salad with all the ingredients in a jar: shake before you open the cap and eat. Also enjoyed a Risotto: heated perfectly at the counter The Chia seed dessert was excellent. We also enjoyed a bottle of wine reasonably priced at Euro 13 and complimentary water: Fizzy or natural. Nice outdoor space to enjoy their offerings. Service was fast, friendly and efficient. Great option if your looking for a casual meal in Avignon.

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 have never encounter anything like that before and we have been around the world as we travel a lot. I do not know what the issue was with them and needless to say we left very disappointed specially since our hosts recommended the restaurant to us.

But wait, things go sideways quickly and you learn that they only serve piadinas, in the US those are essentially paninis. Wait, what ?! BUT wait, yes, and please don't leave. Please, please don't leave. For you are in for a treat. These piadinas aren't made with just any ol' ingredients. Inferior ones they are not. While chef Luisa prepares dishes in the kitchen, her husband illuminates all you need to know and more about what you are about to experience. All of the meats and some of the cheeses and produce come from a special region in eastern Italy south of Venice. They used to have a restaurant there and know all of the farms well. You can select what you want for your piadina but why not leave that decision to them. That's what I did and it was excellent. Of course, they have a good selection of wines. They are artistes gourmands ! They also have beer and a grape juice for kids which is made from grapes of one of the wineries where they get their wine. They have a light cheese course afterward and then dessert followed by coffee. Bien sûr ! Nous sommes à France ! So see, this is why you needed to wait and read this review in its entirety. Now, you must go and learn all of this for yourself! And don't forget to mention that the little American with the braid down her back sipping on the homemade grape juice reserved for children sent you.

My wife and I both have issues eating gluten in the US so we are dying for it when we get to Europe…read moreso while pizza isn't all that French we had to go for it. This place seemed to be frequented by a lot of locals and a little off the tourist path so we decided to go for it. They also apparently deliver but they don't speak much English and I don't speak much French so I think the language barrier would have made calling an order in a bit difficult - and it was a nice walk that burned off some of the upcoming calories that I was about to ingest. The pizza was thin crust with minimal toppings and cooked in an old brick oven and it was great. There were a lot of choices/combinations available and that included red or white sauce options. We had two different small pizzas and a house salad and I have to say these were larger than any small pizza I have ever ordered in the US. The toppings were clearly very good quality and the crust had a nice char and chew. The leftovers even tasted great for breakfast the next morning.

10/10 experience! This is the first time I have ever typed my own review but I felt compelled after…read morethe evening I just spent at Vezzo Pizza. My waitress who was also the hostess was seemingly the only person working in the restaurant besides the chef in the back making the pizza. She was kind and patient with me as I barely speak french. They were very busy which I assume caused some delay for my food but I was so caught up in enjoying the atmosphere and overall vibe that it didn't cross my mind once. When my pizza arrived it was beautiful and delicious. When it came time to pay, the waitress told me that my glass of wine was on the house because I waited so long for my food. I tried to tell her that I would like to pay full price because I didn't mind but with her speaking little english and my little french, it got lost in communication. All this to say I will absolutely be returning for dinner soon and would recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for a good meal in good company.
