Look at my pics. The amount of food you get for the price is fantastic. The service was great. The flavor of the food was amazing. I had the fiery gyro without jalapeños. My friend has the Swiss steak would could feed you for 3 days. Ambiance is what it is. Nothing to write home about but I'll be back for the food for sure. read more

I've eaten Zivio's food several times - living nearby has made pick up very easy and I've sat in the outside seating as well. The outside seating isn't my favorite since it's on the front sidewalk and can get a little busy, but we got there close to when they opened for a weekend brunch so I don't know if that's why the service moved a little bit slow, but we were enjoying ourselves so it was too much of a bother. I've ordered off of both their dinner and brunch menu, both were winners! Everything I've had has always been flavorful and they give very generous portions. My wife and I have learned that if we share an app, there is no way we can finish an entree as well so be prepared for leftovers. I've had several different gyros and have greatly enjoyed them all. Their fries are consistently crunchy and flavored well. OHHHHHH. I also LOVE that they serve Turkish coffee - it reminds me of my childhood and it's just so delicious. All in all I for sure recommend to anyone. I will continue eating there and sharing it with others! read more

I've been to Zivio a couple of times before and have always enjoyed both the food and drinks, which is why I was excited to come back with a few friends. Unfortunately, this visit didn't quite live up to my previous experiences. The fries and deep fried mushrooms were good starters to begin with. However for the entree, the presentation was beautiful, and everything looked great when it came out, but the flavors just weren't there this time. The rice was noticeably dry, and some of the meats were a bit dry as well. Overall, the meal felt like it was missing the flavor I've come to expect from this place and was sad that 2 of my friends had a similar experience. That said, our server was fantastic. She was friendly, attentive, and checked on us throughout the meal, which definitely helped make the experience more enjoyable. I'll certainly be back because I know this restaurant is capable of better, and I'm hoping this visit was just an off night. read more

One of my favorite places to have apps. We were lucky enough to sit outside in the sun during lunch! The feta dip is always a favorite. We also went with the nachos and they were absolutely loaded! Not disappointed with anything we ordered. Ask for a side of garlic sauce to jazz up any of these dishes. Isabelle was a good server who was happy accommodate anything we Asked. read more

Great food and great vibes. I've been here twice now and both times the food was fresh and delicious and the service great. The restaurant has a great vibe and the sidewalk seating was great for a warm summer evening. I would really recommend the stuffed mushrooms and the platter to share! read more

Stopped in at Zivio midday and sat outside in the patio area. The vibes indoors seemed cool, and the patio outside is a covered seating area with a few tables in direct sunlight. I ordered a margarita and it was lackluster, tasting of mostly bitter sour mix more than anything else. For food the sexy fries ended up feeling not so sexy, but rather greasy because of the cheese on top. They still tasted great though. The nachos with gyro meat was delicious, and the nachos are pita bread like a deconstructed gryo sandwich. The feta dip was also yummy especially on the assortment of veggies and breads paired with it. Noticed they serve a brunch and happy hour on the way out, so would definitely come back to this place and try a different drink and an entree next time as the staff were friendly and helpful. read more

Went here to eat and drink before a show at the Acrisure Amphitheater and had an overall great experience. Started will some caffeine (espresso and an iced coffee), we drove in from Indiana. Ordered the Brussels sprouts, sweet and spicy, and the charcuterie board. I had a mocktail which was tasty. My girlfriend had a blackberry bourbon concoction. We added The Big Red, which was full of flavor and not your late-night, run of the mill, I've been drinking for 10 hours, gyro sandwich. We also had Hot Chicken Kobasica. My only complaint, the kitchen was a tad slow on the sandwiches which we took to go. Whatever the reason for the delay, I wouldn't hesitate to come back. The atmosphere, bartenders, bathroom cleanliness, were great. Plenty of room inside and out is a huge plus and parking is aplenty. 4.5 stars. read more

Zivio was rocking on a Tuesday night. We arrived at 6 and it was nearly full. We were seated after about a 10 minute wait. Our drink orders weren't taken for another 10. The servers were moving fast trying to take care of all the tables!! The drink menu is good but I was disappointed in the draft craft beer selection. I opted for a canned beer. Our appetizer came out quickly which was the feta dip. It was amazing and served with some delicious breads and veggies! We split the chicken Schwarma which had excellent flavor. The chicken and rice were moist and tasty. It came with grilled vegetables and humus with a huge piece of pita. More than enough for us both. Taziki sauce added to the experience. The menu is primarily middle eastern with a few exceptions. Katie was our server and she did a great job. read more

Shoutout to Dino and his family! This place is amazing. First time in Grand Rapids and this place did not disappoint. Service was fast and friendly, outside seating was very dog friendly.

I got the Mediterranean chicken kebab, thinking it would be a simple and tasty meal; all the photos online made the food look pretty decent... but looks can be deceiving. Where do I begin? 1. If I said the chicken had no flavor id be lying; however, when the prevailing flavor is slightly sour, slightly musty meat, then I think I'll pass. 2. One of the sides included with the dish was a "herby vegetable medley," which tasted eerily similar to a dish my grandmother used to make for us called "special vegetable." The name is misleading because there was nothing special about it. Chopped zucchini, squash, and onions, thrown in the oven with a hint of herbs and salt. The result is a meal straight out of the great depression. I'm no timekeeper, but last time I checked, it isn't the 1920's... embarrassing. 3. With a price tag of $21, I'd expect a little more. Since when did rice, bread, chicken thighs, and vegetables get so expensive? Zivio... you have 24 hours to change my mind (or until you see this, im not in that much of a hurry) read more

Truly amazing spot, I see why this place is so well reviewed. It had been on my list for a while, so was excited to check it out. The halloumi fries were insanely good, as was the gyro and the pita. They had some lovely drinks as well, and the staff were super friendly. Overall hugely recommended, was a great place to grab dinner. read more

The perfect mix of modern and mediterranean! Zivio is located in East Grand Rapids with a beautifully modern interior and plenty of seating inside and outside. Their menu offers a variety of mediterranean dishes with vegetarian and vegan options to accommodate most preferences. Our group started with a round of drinks. The Midnight in Michigan was my favorite and very well balanced. Each cocktail had a beautiful presentation and unique flavor. For food, we started with the Za'Atar Honey Brussels which was a great size to share. I loved the crunch to the brussels paired with the sweeter sauce. For entrees, most got The OG Gyro with their house made Lepinja Bread. I ordered mine with Falafel and it delicious! The ingredients tasted fresh and everything was the perfect portion. The Beef & Lamb was equally a delicious protein option. The service was a bit slow at times and food is made fresh so don't visit when in a rush. Either way, I loved this spot and would certainly come back! read more

Very poor service - The restaurant was 1/4 full on a Sunday and it took 15 minutes to get our drink order in. The server then took another 10 minutes to bring our drink over and didn't open it, so then we had to waited even longer for her to come back with a bottle opener... She also took our order and failed to mention an up charge for a substitution. The restaurant is grimy/dirty. Our table had food scraps around it and on the chairs. From the floors, to the walls, to the bathrooms, everything seemed neglected. The food tasted good but portion sizes were disappointing for the cost. read more

The best French fries in the world! I ate them all. They were good. Unstoppable. Normally I do not eat French fries. But not this place. I was too full I could not eat the pita sandwich. The black beer was soooo good. Do not miss the fried mushrooms!! They taste like fried oysters. Try them!! read more

Love this spot! The furniture is dark but the windows allow for a lot of light which makes this place look and feel really cool. The patio is also a nice option in the summer! The chicken shawarma and the sexy fries are easily a couple of my favorite menu items! I also enjoyed the taco trio and baklava when I had those once. Delicious!!! Recently went for brunch and enjoyed that as well! Would recommend if you're looking for something different and good quality Mediterranean :) read more

Met some friends for dinner at Zivio on a Friday. We got there a little early- like 5:30, and didn't have to wait for a table, although it started to fill up closer to 6. Everyone with us agreed that the cocktails were fantastic. The food all tasted freshly made. The beef stroganoff was very hearty, and the bread ur came with also seemed homemade. Would definitely recommend as a nice spot for dinner! read more

We checked out Zivio to ring in the spring energy, and she never disappoints. Zivio is kinda the spot. Their sangria lives in my head rent-free, and I have actual dreams about the feta dip. The fries? Crispy perfection. Gyros always hit, and the cocktails hold their own. The front patio is great for people-watching, but the back patio? A quiet little escape. Perfect vibes, even better food. read more

This was one of the worst dinning experiences I have had. We sat down and ordered. Drinks took a while to come. We ordered and after 40 min our appetizer (which was very small) showed up and the waitress says I will put your food order in now!!! What!?!? Why didn't you put it in when we ordered 40 min ago. We then had to wait an hour for our entrees! The food wasn't even good. The fries were cold and soggy. The whole experience was extremely disappointing and I don't know how the place is in business. When we looked around, almost no one had food on their table and everyone looked annoyed that they were waiting so long! read more

Has to be our favorite restaurant on Wealthy. Two go-to favorites are the O.G. and the Fiery Feta are our go-to with beef and lamb. So much flavor all stuffed into their in-house lepinja bread. Appetizer has to be the whipped feta which comes with bread, toasted bread, and veggies. Great starter that's a bit different than tzatziki sauce on fries. Hummus is solid too. Pretty sure it's the same people that run Bosna Express... which is a good thing because that place bangs too! read more

Okay, so this place is absolutely adorable with big open windows in the front. I've been here a couple of times and have ordered take out and every single time it doesn't disappoint. The gyros are fantastic and they even have impossible meat so it works for vegetarians. The garlic gyro is my favorite, it comes with toms of veggies and a garlic yogurt sauce. I've also had the fiery feta and it is absolutely delicious. These sandwiches are heavily sauced so make sure you have napkins. The French fries at Zivio deserve a five star review on their own. They are absolutely crispy and well seasoned. There is a significant cocktail list and great coffee if you want to just pop in for a quick happy hour. They have a good dessert menu too, the lepinja puffs (little donuts) are my go to! read more

Packed with layers of flavor. Everything we tried was delicious, but I'm especially obsessed with the warm whipped feta and the nachos. Excellent customer service made the experience even better. Such a great Mediterranean spot and definitely worth a visit. read more

We uncovered one of the best gems of Grand Rapids! Wahoo! Guys, who even thinks about ordering beef stroganoff when it's on the menu... exactly. But the homemade egg noodles and slow braised beef were calling my name... and guess what. It's still calling my name! I'm writing this review and wishing I had this melt-in-your-mouth delicious beef stroganoff in front of me. Everything was top notch. Our server Shane, awesome. The feta fries, inhaled. Falafel was maybe the only miss-- a bit over-salted and just a blob inside. And our pup enjoyed the dog-friendly patio! Will definitely be back. read more

Terrible experience. I literally am making a Yelp account just for this review. Here's why: Bug in drink. Didn't offer to comp or make a new one. Waitress forgot: - Appetizer plates - Grenadine for drink - Charged our card for another table - Gave us back the wrong card Will not be back. Ruined our birthday experience. read more

Zivio is a staple, go-to restaurant option for us. We've had good luck with short wait times or no wait times; I think only one time on a weekend was it 1+ hour wait time. The whipped feta appetizer is such a great mix of warm feta dip, warm fresh bread, and veggies to make it healthier :) I've tasted the gyros and they're a 4 out of 5. I ALWAYS order the flank steak. The presentation of it always seems to vary, but the steak is almost always cooked a perfect medium rare (although a few times it has been overcooked); the seasoning makes up for it when it is overcooked. Sometimes the brussels sprouts are undercooked too, but when they're cooked perfectly they're an amazing side dish. It's a large entree too. It's usually cold inside, even in the summer. We come here every few months! read more

Živio has consistently been out of their traditional Bosnian Pilsner, the Tuzlanski Pilsner, which is disappointing for a place that claims to be a Bosnian restaurant. Today, instead, they poured me the remainder of a Weihenstephaner keg--and I had to specifically ask not to be charged full price for what was essentially a half pour. What bothered me most, though, was the service. At 8:05 PM--nearly a full hour before their 9:00 PM closing time--the host's first words to me were, "Do you have the time?" Not a greeting. She then informed us that the kitchen was closing in 25 minutes. Later, as we were finishing our meals, we overheard our waitress tell another table that the kitchen was closing in 15-20 minutes at around 8:30. On the positive side, the food is delicious and they offer solid vegetarian options, though prices are high. My fatoush salad with vegetarian meat was nearly $20. read more

We loved this place. The food was fantastic. We got the Gyro and it was amazing. Highly recommend.

Amazing how this section of Wealthy Street has been transformed over the years. On the block comes one of our favorite joints in GR, a place called Živio. We found this place accidentally while in search of the elusive dog friendly patio. GR is seriously lacking dog friendly patios and in particular ones that actually have great food. Well look no further cause Živio is it. After 3 visits it's high time to leave them a glowing review. Between the service, the atmosphere, and the food, we will frequent Živio anytime we come to GR. The sexy fries, red pepper shrimp and whipped feta dip are on the list of go to items. Since they had Oktoberfest specials, I tried one of them as well. The Schnitzel sandwich was good bursting with as much flavor as one could ask for. Chicken was cooked to perfection too. All the cocktails are great, but they really make a mean Old Fashioned. Also, not to sleep on a respectable beer list. Overall, this is one GR gem we hope sticks around for some time. I know we'll be back since the goods are so good at Živio! read more

Great food. Great service and a great place to visit. While in the area we decided to give this place a try and I am so glad I did! Located in the middle of a nice neighborhood this place reminds me of something you would see in San Francisco. With a great outdoor patio area this place is a must if you find yourself in Grand Rapids. I ordered the chicken and it was amazing! So flavorful and fresh that it was tough not to order another plate! But I was full. We got there a little early in the evening so it was not busy. But as the night moved on it got more busy and for good reason. Again, the food here was amazing. Server was attentive to the needs of the table and nice! Give this place a try. You'll be glad you did. Cheers. read more

So, the first impression of this place was not great to be honest. The hostess was extremely off putting and made us feel unwelcome. We asked if we could sit at the bar and she just stared at us so we took that as a yes? Bar service, also unfriendly, but food was good. I've had plenty of "European cuisine" on my life and it was sort of pricy but on par for the area. I would come back but I'm not interested in interacting with these same staff. read more
