Hear from our valued guests
We had a great time for a family get together. I was from out of town. Enjoyed. Authentic. Great service with all enjoyed.
We came here for the first time and were absolutely blown away. We had a delicious dinner that tasted very good. Our waitress Dacka was so kind and was super attentive. She made sure we had enough drinks and even recommended us certain dishes that she thought were very good. She also recommended some dessert drinks that are very popping Italy, so we tried them out. The menu has many different options to choose from and you can have either fish, meat, chicken, or pasta. We were in the outside seating area and it was a bit chilly. But they took care of that immediately as they had on the big heaters and placed them all around us. The wind was not a problem as we were very warm and still got to enjoy our food. We left very satisfied and want to come back soon to try some other dishes that sound very interesting.
The food was incredible!!!! We ordered a margarita pizza, Caesar salad, Mezzi rigatoni, and chicken with fresh mozzarella and roasted potatoes. It was simply wow. From dessert menu the chocolate cake and the cheesecake. The cheesecake was not so good. Sorry !
The food , ambiance and service was phenomenal !! Our food had amazing taste and the cocktails were great ! Our server Steve was great and very helpful. My girlfriend and I enjoyed ourselves. Great place for any occasion especially date nights if you want a more classy and upscale spot. We will definitely return :)
Absolutely top tier dining experience. From the moment you walk in the door it is clear that customer service and hospitality are very important to Trattoria Vivolo's staff and management. Lindsey, behind the bar, works as if she has 8 arms, never slowing down or losing her cool despite the tickets piling up. Every single staff member was genuinely engaged, attentive, and thorough. As someone who runs a business in a adjacent industry I am beyond impressed with the staff presentation/service. The main dining room feels like a renovated classic diner? Not from the area so dont know the history but I like it. Outdoor seating area was spacious and clean. Moving from the best food state (NJ) I am still struggling to find places to get the staples in local spots around Westchester County. Happy to say Bruschetta and Chicken Parm are now checked off the list. Bruschetta was a little soft and unwieldy but the end pieces that were a little burnt were perfect. 8/10. How are you supposed to eat bruschetta without making a mess? Chicken parm. Super simple but its crazy how many places will mess it up. Trattoria Vivolo's chicken parm was consistent in size and texture throughout. On the thinner side for a cutlet (preferred). Sauce and spaghetti were on point as well. All ingredients were great, fresh, and well presented. Looking forward to coming back. Oh, right. Tiramisu was difficult to eat an enjoyable pace but please do yourself a favor and slow it down so you can fully enjoy it.
I don't normally give 5 stars!! This place was amazing!!! Everything was delicious! The staff pleasant and knowledgeable. And a very special birthday singing!!
a family favorite. the food is great and the service is friendly. we enjoy eating at the restaurant and also order take-out frequently. Favorites: Apps: Pizza, Fried Calamari, Clams Oreganata Mains: Chicken Milanese (the best!), Vitello Vivolo, Sole Francese, and Mezzi Rigatoni
🍷🍝⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ From the first moment I walked into Trattoria Vivolo, I knew it was pure magic. The warm light, the soft chatter, the scent of garlic and good wine — it feels like stepping straight into an Italian dream. Every visit feels like being welcomed home. Dean, the owner, is truly the heart of the place — always making you feel like family the moment you walk in. He has that rare warmth that turns dinner into something personal, memorable, and special every single time. And Maria… she’s a legend. She’s been there forever, the kind of server every great restaurant dreams of having — graceful, kind, and always making sure everything is just right. The rest of the team follows her lead — attentive, professional, and genuinely caring. And then comes the food. The Fritto Misto — light, crispy, impossible to stop eating. The Cozze Bianco — mussels in a broth so good you’ll want to drink it straight from the bowl. The Vitello Prosciutto — tender, rich, and unforgettable. The Linguini Nere — you won’t find pasta like this anywhere else. The Lasagna al Forno tastes like it came from an Italian grandmother’s kitchen, bubbling with love. And the pizza… oh, the pizza. Thin, blistered, perfect — I’ve never had pizza like this anywhere in Westchester. I dream about it and always come back for it. The back room is a world of its own — perfect for birthdays, date nights, and special family dinners. It’s intimate, dramatic, and full of that old-school charm you can’t fake. Every meal here is a celebration. The wine is always flowing, the specials are always tempting, and just when you think you’re done, the Bomba Baci and cannoli arrive to remind you that there’s always room for dessert. This isn’t just dinner — it’s a memory every single time. A place that feels like home. We love it here and we’ll always keep coming back… if we can get a reservation, ha!
My family and I are from Harrison and have gone to Vivolos many times throughout the years. Some of the nicest people work here and Dean always checks in to make sure you’re having an amazing experience. Yesterday, we brought my grandparents here for the first time for Easter. My Nanny is an excellent cook so she tends to be very picky when it comes to eating out. However, every single bite she took she couldn’t stop saying how delicious the food was here. My Nanny also has a few food allergies and our waitress Joann was beyond accommodating and continuously checked in on her. Joann has to be one of the sweetest people I’ve ever com across. Thank you Joann for making my grandparents experience that much better! Highly recommend eating at Vivolos! You won’t be disappointed!
I wish I could gatekeep this place but it’s hard not to brag about it. The vibe is visually beautiful, elite lighting and cozy. The staff is extremely kind and friendly. I have tried multiple dishes at this point: the spicy bucatini, the bolognese, and even the steak. They have all been 10/10 dishes, made with fresh ingredients. They accommodated my allergies with no problem. I celebrated my birthday here, and have also had solo dinner: both were lovely experiences. I love their bar area, as well as their cozy booths. Although they are very accommodating, I definitely recommend calling to make a reservation in advance, as it can get busy pretty quickly. They have an excellent wine selection. There is a municipal parking lot right across the street, but it’s a typically calm/quiet area. This is definitely one of my favorite Italian spots in NY.
