VIVO! Restaurant & Caternig, a restaurant featuring a seasonal, locally inspired menu. Our Culinary Team believes in using only the highest quality ingredients that will never compromise the integrity of the dish.

The restaurant’s upscale vibe resonates with old world authenticity. Once the mansion home to glamorous Rudolph Valentino, the setting is both elegant and stylish, offering sun filled, traditional Ballrooms, a decidedly urban vibe in the Dining Room, hand-crafted cocktails at the Bar and Lounge, and al fresco dining on the Patio.

Been there many times. Bosses were off and so was the meal. Unfortunately, it was a business meal and it did not impress Appeared to be short staffed due to a party upstairs

Thank you Marty for the review and the feedback. Having the party on the 2nd floor should have not impacted your dining experience so I will looking into this. I appreciate you sending this over to us. Have a great day, Kevin

We got there for a Valentines Dinner on time. The service was slow. They brought out the wrong dish for me. I had find someone to bring out the correct order. Afte a longer wait, the food came out cold. It took three hours to complete dinner. All for $248.00 for two people. Nobody came over to even offer an apology.

The service was awful. Waiter got my order wrong and took along time to do anything. Got busy later but the restaurant was almost empty when I got there therefore there was no reason for dinner to take 2 1/2 hours. The whole restaurant seemed disorganized. Food was fair at best. Octopus was hard and tough to to chew. Too bad because the place is very nice and convenient. I will not eat there again.

The atmosphere was nice, but the food wasn’t that good. The steak was too raw plus on the website. They stated dessert but when I went there, there was no dessert.

The former home of Rudolph Valentino is attractive. The servers were friendly, albeit inexperienced. The food was the problem — tasteless.
