I loved the atmosphere. Pizza, drinks, and prices were all great. They have a patio, an area where to watch TV, and regular tables for family or a larger party. They have one bathroom that is not for public use. The customer service was great. They have a variety of pizza and a mix of other things on the menu. Try to visit the place and have a taste!

I ordered the fettuccine Alfredo and less than a minute later decided I wanted a different dish. I walked inside and politely asked to change my order, and I was greeted with an eye roll and a sigh. I even stated the orginal order would not be a problem if it could not be changed. Poor customer service. On the other hand, the entire tables food came quickly and was so-so. I would visit again.

A cozy Italian offering in a balanced menu. I had the thinly sliced filet beef cold plate. It did not have much flavor but was decent. Maybe that is how that dish was supposed to taste like. I also had the Alfredo pasta, which I liked more because I am a fan of Alfredo sauce.

Cute little local Italian with outdoor seating and heaters. Good food, good service. We were surprised to see baby octopus in our seafood sampler, but everything tasted great! Would eat here again.

Ive never been here before, and now i want to come back. Our server, Sabri made our dining experience much more enjoyable, too. He was very knowledgeable about the food, knew what would pair well and also was very friendly and accommodating.The parking lot is a little small, but you can also park across the street where the laugh factory is, but at the time i went, there were plenty of spaces and only the people going to that plaza is allowed to use that parking lot.The restroom is located towards the back of the restaurant subtly hidden by a striped curtain. The restroom is maintained cleanly and also offers a lot of space - no worried about tight fitting rooms!The menu also has a lot of pictures - almost a picture of every item on the menu. They have extensive choices for breakfast, brunch and lunch. Now, im excited to try their dinner options in my next visit.Keep up the good work!by the way, the strawberry crepe is amazing and a great spot for couples or pictures is right by the counter lined with wine bottles.

After having a new years full of coughs & colds, we were ready to finally treat ourselves to this !!! If youll look at our pictures youll see we had a fantastic dinner in this petite special hidden gem in Hollywood, you must have reservations, as the place was packed at 7pm & the staff is incredible at getting people seated & set for a delightful evening. We started with glasses of wine & the Carpaccio & the Piramide Salad... just delicious, fresh & good sized portions. OH YEA... that fresh bread & olive tapanade is addictive. For mains we had the Lasagna Alla Bolognese w/bechamel just delightful & much lighter than expected, and the Chicken Piccatta tender & beautifully seasoned. Ample portions, easy parking valet ($2.50?) in the lot. We finished with canolli which were yummy, though we ate them at home a bit later. Vivoli is a local treasure, we drove quite a ways from the valley to come, but everyone else in the place was a local & repeat clients. The staff were as busy as can be but Sabri took care of us & did an amazing job of keeping the place humming with smiles. Make a reservation, the Trattoria is petite & you want to be sure to grab a good seat.

The pizza and pasta here in this restaurant are really amazing! I really enjoy all the foods I ordered here, and I would like to commend the servers who beautifully handled my request. It was indeed the best pizza and pasta that I have ever tried. I will surely come back here and bring my family or friends with me. GOOD JOB!

Pizzeria Vivoli & Italian Grill currently has horrible service, and as of right now, the customer is never right at this place. Their excellent authentic Italian food has gone bye-bye and been replaced with flavorless American versions of their food recipes.

Rude and unhelpful.... tried ordering delivery through grubhub and postmates but the sites were not working.. i called the restaurant to place an order over the phone but he said he cant take a large order over the phone - this is ridiculous, i was going to order $200 worth of food and they basically said no thank you. there loss, looks like im not missing out. do not order from here find another pizza joint. not reccommended. very dissapointed and frustrated, not how to operate a business...

They were known for their nice accommodation to customers, delicious pizza, and a nice place. Eventually, I loved their place. It was stylish, new, and comfortable to stay. Besides, I was captivated by their delicious pizza that could never be regretted.

Great food. Great Service. Great Prices. Great wine deals. Great easy and very fast curbside pick up. What more do you need?I recommend anything Parmesan and their bread with olive spread which comes complementary.

After seeing the impressive commercial I dashed over to try it out. Boy, I was disappointed the second I saw how dumpy and small it was from the outside. I grabbed a table and decided to try it out. As I was waiting for my food I went in to use their restroom facilities. Once I got inside my stomach went sour. That place was a dirty disaster. Equipment and tables were laying everywhere including the kitchen area. It was fifty. The restroom toilet was full of urine that wasnt flushed or clean. The cooks and waiters were not wearing gloves. They were touching food.If the health department would have seen that diry kitchen they would close that restaurant on the spot.

Ive been going to Vivoli since it first opened; its always been a go-to choice for a date because it manages to be romantic while affordable, and of course the food is always, always excellent. Donato is a wonderful host, the wine selections are excellent, and for me, the location cant be beat.

Very disappointed. Used to order from Vivoli a lot. Ordered big family dinner for Xmas and, for the third time (prior orders), main ingrediants were left out of salad we ordered, and they didnt even offer to replace it. Also got the main dish order wrong, and had to wait until they made the correct main dish. Asked to speak to the owner and the owner never even called me back. Very bad public relations.

Wonderful place for some Italian grub!We ordered the Pepperoni Pizza, Chicken Wings, and a couple of desserts (Cannoli and Cheesecake).Everything was satisfactory, if not absolutely amazing!! The pepperoni pizza was SO GOOD. Not greasy... lovely sauce... and LARGE pepperonis. Perfectly cooked crust.The chicken wings were great! They come in 12pc, but they were a little small... and there were definitely more than 12 in the container... so that was cool.The Cannoli dessert came with 4 mini ricotta cannolis. Very good! Im not usually a fan of lemon, but these were actually really good! And we got the cheesecake. Cant go wrong. Drizzled in strawberries. Fabulous!Great experience! Happy we found this place! Cant wait to visit again!

I have been eating at Vivoli since I arrived in Los Angeles in 2004! The BEST Italian food in the city and the friendliest owner and staff. It feels like family when I walk through their doors. Best kept secret! Also they have been amazing at to go orders during the pandemic. Cant say enough good things. My FAV Chix Parm with Penne vodka and the Tiramisu

I think I ate here every Friday for probably 2 years straight simply because they offer lasagna on Fridays. Delicious cocktails (still one of my favorite Old Fashions in the city), great food, and a fun atmosphere. Its almost always busy so call ahead and put your name on the list before you go.

While my first review of this place was quite negative I was very impressed with the response I received. The manager reached out to me personally to apologize and offered to redo my order. This was above and beyond was I expected. I got a beautiful and tasty Margarita pizza and motz sticks. The portions here are huge and well priced.Very impressed with the management and also with the pizza!

The perfect place for an out of the way, intimate, and quiet lunch or dinner Euro pizza. Ive only been at off times when its relatively empty and I havent had to wait for a table.

My wife and I went here before a night at the laugh factory. This restaurant had the best bread and pesto/oil to get you started.We ordered chicken piccata and lobster ravioli. Her chicken had amazing flavor but had been over cooked a bit. My lobster ravioli was perfect, Best flavor I have ever had in an Italian dish. HIGHLY recommended!Service was great! Nothing over the top but 100 percent solid. We had the tiramisu and my wife was convinced this was a home made recipe. I don’t ever order dessert and I highly recommend this. Side note: would pair well with coffee.We will definitely be back!

Great margarita! The 18in is a perfect size to share or to fight over.Great crust...crispy, airy, chewy, and well bodied flavor.Just place the order early, grab some drinks from the International Market, then drop by the appointed time for your pie.Pizzeria Vivoli & Italian Grill

Somewhat disappointed in this place, small portions for how much you’re spending. Ordered a calamari appetizer for $16, and got about 16 pieces of calamari. The plate they served it on was literally half empty. Rack of lamb for $30 was only four small lamb lollipops, but they load up the side dish to make the plate appear full. Either lower your prices for dishes, or increase the size of them. Countless other good Italian restaurants around this area with better portions for lower prices, and better tasting too.

Went on a Sunday when they opened at 11am for breakfast but unfortunately they didnt serve breakfasts, just lunch and dinner. But they were kind enough to improvise a couple of omelets, salad and toast for us and it was just fine and the service was good. I had been there for their pizzas and pastas to go and they were excellent. Limited self parking with maybe valet on some evenings.

Ive never been inside because we just discovered Vivoli while sheltering in place. I got an email with an offer of free bronzino that I couldnt refuse. You had to spend $50 to get it but since we werent shopping we ordered a lot to save for a day or so more. The bronzino was superb as were the carpaccio and eggplant parm. It is now our go to (curbside pickup) place to go as its just minutes from our home. So far weve also had the veal parm, meatballs and pasta, cannolis and Caesar salad. Excellent take out during these trying times. They even off free or discounted wine at times and pizza specials. Try it youll love it.

We have been going to Vivoli for a few years now. From the 1st time we tried it till today, quality and taste have been consistent. The place that used to be a hole in the wall was remodeled a couple years ago, it is now a very cute and cosy neighborhood restaurant good enough for a date night for my husband and I, his favourite is the lobster ravioli, mine ? All of it! Nothing bad on the menu. Their marinara sauce is scrumptious, as it the warm fresh foccacia bread and olive tepenade that is put on your table as soon as you are seated. The service is amazing as well.

This little spot provides great service and authentic Italian cuisine, at reasonable prices. We ordered the Vivoli salad, delicious Italian red wines, and two entree dishes. The rissoto ai funghi was one of the best I’ve had. The other entree was the penne bolognese which was a hefty serving and also delicious.Not a pretentious or overly fancy vibe, but jazz music and dim lighting created a nice mood for our dinner. We really enjoyed our experience and the food!
