    Side of Mostaccioli and sauce served with entree.
    Michael R.

    If your looking for a consistent quality, family operated venue for dinner I would recommend checking out Vivio's. We have eaten here many times. They offer a wide variety of Pasta, Great Pizza's, Seafood and Steak options. The service is always great, attentive and friendly. The atmosphere is a cozy, up north, woodsy vibe. My wife and I had dinner there last night. She loves their Pasta Carbonara, which is a special, not always on the menu. The dish was creamy and cheesy with broccoli, pancetta, and very tasty. Portions are generous and come with a antipasto salad and dinner rolls. I had the Chicken Parmigiana which comes with a side of either spaghetti or mostaccioli which I had, and the sauce was very tasty and fresh. You won't leave hungry. Great place for small groups or families.

    Medium pizza with our own toppings
    Krystal T.

    Grabbed some food to go after the lake. They prepared it quick, which was much appreciated. We got a medium pizza, 2 orders of perch fish with side salad and spaghetti. And another salad. The pizza was pretty good, they gave us a huge bag of bread. The perch wasn't our favorite, unfortunately. And the spaghetti was very bland, and well, a salad is a salad haha

    Garlic toast basket..in the past has been assorted basket, not a 1/2 lb of toast

    If you offer assorted garlic bread basket make it assorted, if you offer traditional wings act like you've had traditional wings, if you offer boneless wings cook them crispy and better portion. Not impressed in this world of impressive offerings.

    The ambiance is lovely, rustic, cabin, cute Italian eatery, the food presentation was lovely... but the bland is an understatement. We came to celebrate a birthday, but left hungry and sad that we wasted an hour driving. The antipasto salad that came with the meal consisted of a generous bowl of iceberg lettuce, a single 1" square of cheese, two slices of pepperoni, 1 slice of banana pepper, half a slice of salami, and 3 slivers of onion. Along with it came garlic "bread," which was more like a super stale, dried out crouton-like cold toast that was served with chilled butter. To say it was unpalatable is being very kind. It was literally inedible. The green beans had zero flavor. They didn't taste like anything at all . The sauce on the spaghetti tasted like dried put coney sauce, and the chicken parm was tough, with an odd sweet sauce and, again, absolutely no seasoning whatsoever on it. The food quality was reminiscent of an elementary school cafeteria. This experience was a one and done for us. Photos attached are after we completely the "meal." The waitress didn't bat an eye when we told her no thank you on the box when she asked if we wanted to take it home, so it was pretty apparent that she's used to seeing full plates of food go untouched.

    Ordered takeout and let me tell you the staff was rocking it! I could tell they were very busy but the food came out tasting fresh and we got everything we ordered. You can get paper plates and plastic silverware upon request, which was nice because we were bringing the food back to our hotel. They have indoor dining that has an up north cabin feel with stuffed wildlife. There is also a patio you can wait for your table at. The breadsticks were okay. They tasted like a piece of toast that had been cut up which was not bad, just wish there would've been a little more flavor. The pizza was astoundingly great! The crust was soft, there was the perfect amount of toppings, and the sauce to cheese ratio was just right. We got pepperoni, feta, and green pepper pizza. Olive lovers need to try the feta one! I got an antipasto salad for one. The dressing was excellent. It was good overall but I felt that given the size of the salad, some of the toppings should've been cut up a bit more. There was also only one tiny piece of cheese. This is one of my family's favorite restaurants to visit when we're in town. We'll definitely be back!

    So I have read the recent reviews here on the Yelp and thought I'd give it a try as we haven't been to Vivios in several years. Be aware as mentioned by other reviewers the prices are really high. I will also let you know there is no current menu posted in the website, social media or yelp. We ordered 1- large pizza with bacon, feta, black olives, banana pepper, and tomatoes, and a feta bread. Price - $48.00 The pizza was extremely basic in taste and composition, crust extremely blah, bottom cooked. Yea that's no typo it was cooked lol. Sauce was not noticeable one way or another. Toppings were plentiful I will say that. The feta bread was exactly that feta bread, dime a dozen variety. Regarding the sauce and feta bread, I was happy to have the ranch dressing to put on my pizza to give it some type of something. Unfortunately this is Little Caesar at Michelin Star pricing. Best to go to BC Pizza imo.

When we were seated, they gave us a broken high chair and a took a while to get the waitress to come back. I had to flag her down because my son was climbing out. There was a nice gentleman that brought it. She took our order and left. She came back with the food and we never saw her again. My alfredo has significantly more sauce than last time. It was not mixed in and it was soupy and tasted gross. It was very heavy. My husband got the gnochhi with alfredo. It had a thick layer of cheese half melted on top of it. He thought that was super gross. He said the gnocchi underneath was luke warm. He had ordered a beer and finished it. He was thirsty from all the walking. The waitress was nowhere to be found and we needed water for him and the kids. Finally, she saw us just sittiny there waiting and not eating and walked over and asked if we needed a box. I told her id just like one and that my husband didnt like his food because it was a thick glob of cheese, she laughed and handed us the bill and walked away. It was so rude! I was not expecting her to laugh. She didnt ask any questions or take it seriously. She could see his food was not eaten. Additionally, when we first sat down we asked for a kids menu and she said they dont have one but they have buttered noodles or we could order a small pizza for them.

When I saw their sign lit, I turned around. I walked in and was received graciously as usual, and sat at the bar with Matt, the proprietor. Matt must've been born into this business because he's just so good at it and so natural it doesn't even look like he's a bit stressed or anything. Which in the restaurant business is the case at times. Regardless, I usually order some kind of a seafood dish here the walleye or the scallops, however last night the fillet was calling my name. It's that new RFK pyramid the protein so order it I did along with the dinner salad that comes with it and the Redskin mashed potatoes and beautiful asparagus perfectly done in my life. I don't think I've had a better dinner. I mean, the food's always excellent here but last night it just was perfection to the next level. So happy you were open. I'd much rather spend my dinner hour at Bella Vita a very relaxed atmosphere, with incredible service and food... Thank you, Matt, have a wonderful winter.

Food is well prepared with great visuals and most importantly tastes great.

Restaurant also has a full service bar where my Old Fashioned was very well made and oh so tasty in its own right. Also just as important, especially for an Italian restaurant, they have a very nice wine list to choose from.

When I asked the waiter he said he would ask the chef. Came back and said 4-5 based on the size of the shrimp. The other entrees at our table were over cooked and dry. Like they had been sitting under a heat light for a while. Big bummer. No management to be seen. Which is sad for the wait staff to not have back up or support. Mediocre at best. For the money, not worth it.

This restaurant is definitely on the smaller side but it has such the cutest charm! I ordered the Salmon Piccata with a side of Caesar salad, and pasta with oil, garlic, and butter. The Salmon Piccata was perfectly cooked; however, I wish it had a tad more seasoning (maybe a tad more salt or simply lemon juice) since I truly had to rely on the capers for any acidity. The Caesar salad has to be one of the best I've ever had--it honestly had the punch of lemony boquerones. If you truly love anchovies, I highly recommend ordering it with some extra anchovies!

You are charged for sharing but they offer side and salad with the extra charge. Not unreasonable in my opinion. The bread brought out was delicious. Felt the marinara was a little salty for the eggplant But certainly not inedible. A nearby table had ordered mussels and the smell did carry over to us so a sensitivity to that could be an issue . Dessert The Tiramisu was fabulous. I actually liked the texture as you could taste every component. Usually soggy lady fingers which can taste great but here they kept their structure I felt making it stand out . Wonderful flavors. Parking is one way and could be icy in the lot. Well lit though.
