Vivo is actually a member of the Aqua restaurant group, although the Aqua connection is not entirely obvious as the place is much more casual and laidback that your usual Aqua establishment. The overall vibe is very chilled, thanks to its slightly dimmed lighting and the friendly service, so a passerby may just pass Vivo off as a cocktail/wine bar. The food, though, is really surprisingly good.Starting, of course, with the very reason we were here - the beef carpaccio - and it was every bit as g
Starting, of course, with the very reason we were here - the beef carpaccio - and it was every bit as good as I remembered it! The beef was just the right thickness and texture: tender but not entirely without bite. The flavours in the meat were perfectly accentuated by the Parmesan cheese and truffle dressing, which was not too overpowering.
For my main course, I had the duck confit risotto, which was also very well executed. What I love most is how the risotto is so generously stuffed with ingredients - with every mouthful you'll find not only the belly warming risotto but also the rich, punchy flavours of duck confit and porcini mushrooms.
On top of my food I managed to snag a slice of this porcini pizza from my neighbour and I'm so glad I did! The crust was thin and crispy, whilst each topping jumped right at you with its own distinctive burst of flavour: the cheese, the porcini mushrooms and the caramelised onions. Maybe not the most authentically Italian pizza, but definitely worth a big thumbs up!
I'm glad I've got Vivo back on my food map because, quite surprisingly, they haven't dropped their standards at all even in the space of a couple of years (which is really quite some feat!). With its friendly but very classy vibe, this is the perfect spot for a special occasion whether in a large group or just for two!
