Situated at the upper end of Elgin Street, Vivo is one of the stunning spots perfect for happy hours or perhaps an ideal venue for quiet date nights.Since seeing the picture of the atmospheric decor and the fancy cocktails on openrice early this year, I had been waiting for a suitable occasion to give it a try.

Since seeing the picture of the atmospheric decor and the fancy cocktails on openrice early this year, I had been waiting for a suitable occasion to give it a try. Finally, the occasion arrived and I came for my friend’s birthday on a relaxing Friday night.The service was attentive and the waitress serving our table was generous to give us recommendation on their signature cocktails. The swanky interior was cleverly designed with warm light coming through the carved walls which provided diners a truly comfortable atmosphere. I started off with the popular lychee daiquiri and my friend opted for the virgin kiwi mojito. The first sip of my lychee daiquiri tasted like typical rum, but was soon integrated by the sweetness of lychee which made the whole drink less burning.
We ordered the salmon & cranberry pizza and wagyu cannelloni from the innovative menu yet they weren’t anything extraordinary. The salmon & cranberry pizza was colorfully decorated with ingredients evenly spread over the pizza. The thin-crust pizza was crispy but a bit burnt at the bottom. The juicy cranberries on top made an inspiring combination with the cheesy pizza. However, the raw salmon was too greasy for us since we would prefer one lighter main dish.
Instead of the usual bolognas source, the wagyu cannelloni was served with creamy squid ink. I could barely tell the difference between beef from different countries, especially not in the case when the minced beef was already soaked with rich squid ink…the presentation of the dish was not impressive and it somehow looked like homemade Chinese dish that served with too much soy source.
Vivo is a stylish destination to sip on a cocktail after work with hip background music as accompaniment. The Italian cuisine we had wasn’t the top in town yet it was still a good bargain for dining at Soho. It would be delightful for me to return for their cocktails but it might take some times before I came back for proper meal.
