Food service was great, place was nice and food was great. The restaurant lighting was nice and dim, not super bright. They have plenty of options for you to pick from. I would recommend.

We came on a weekday for a party of 2. We were able to get seated quickly. We initially opted to sit outside but it got super windy; the staff was able to accommodate us and give us a booth quickly. FOODI went in without much expectations as most Italian food tastes similar to me (haha even ones in Italy). They did a great job with the caprese salad with taste and presentation. The meatball spaghetti was flavorful. I liked the fettuccine the most; the shrimp was fresh, and the grilled chicken was super flavorful and moist. AMBIANCETheir interior design has a very nice ambiance. The lighting was perfect for me as I am not a fan of super dimmed places where I could barely see my food. SERVICEThe staff that helped us was super nice. He came to check in on us and helped me with parking validation. PARKINGIf you park at the Jurassic parking, it'll bring you straight to the restaurants and food courts. The restaurant validates your parking so it's $10 for the first 2.5 hours.

It's a great place to eat after a long day at the Universal theme parks. The service was good, the food was delightful, and the atmosphere was inviting. I made reservations on the Universal app and didn't encounter any issues, even though we checked in a few minutes after our reservation time. Once I checked in, it was about 15 minutes before our table was ready. The service at the theme park restaurant was decent, but the waiter forgot our order, and we had to return to confirm. I would recommend writing down the order and not trying to memorize six different peoples meals. The dinner was the highlight of the evening. Everyone loved what they ordered and finished every bite. The beef Carpaccio fell apart slightly, but it was still very delicious. The gnocchi had a lot of seasoning, and the chicken Alfredo was very creamy. Vivo is an excellent choice for dinner at Universal Orlando CityWalk.

COVID-19: Social distancing is not enforced at this establishment. Some of the staff wears a mask. All customers are not expected to wear a mask. It's optional now. The staff also wears gloves when handling food. There are some hand sanitizers available for customers to use. This place is available for take outs and has some indoor & outdoor seating available with no limited capacity. They are not sanitizing in between customers. COVID-19 Vaccination Proof: This establishment currently does not require proof of vaccination. While I was dining in this establishment with a friend days ago, I asked if they had any special offers and they weren't offering any at the moment. They currently don't have happy hour. They also do not allow pets in their establishment UNLESS it's a service animal. Parking: The parking lot for this establishment is pretty massive since the restaurant is located in Universal CityWalk. Most parking spaces are pretty big. Food: My friend and I had ordered the stracchino stuffed bread to share. It was super cheesy. You could really taste the cheese and the olive oil. The cheesy stuffed bread was crispy on top and chewy and cheesy on the inside. It came with a side of arugula. I'm not a fan of arugula, so my friend ate all of it. Hahaha I ordered the bolognese. The pasta was cooked just right. Not too soft, yet not too hard. The meat sauce was thick, rich, and full of flavor. The ground beef was cooked with onions, garlic, and tomatoes because you can really taste those ingredients when you dig in. They weren't stingy with the ground beef either. Decent portions. Drink: I ordered a peach Bellini. It was super fruity and refreshing. Just what I needed. Staff: The staff here are very nice, friendly, and knowledgeable. Lisa was our server, and she just brought a chill vibe to the table, which I loved. She checked in on us and was attentive to our needs throughout the dinner. Great server. They accept both cash and credit cards. There is no credit card minimum. I would definitely come back for the service, atmosphere, and food.

This place packs a lot of flavor! Considering I typically find the food within universal to be generally lackluster, I would actually eat here again.The cheese filled bread to start was probably the star of our meal. We could have ordered three of those for dinner and been happy. Because it's one of the closest restaurants to the entry/exit of the park, there tends to be a longer wait time. My chicken pesto panini was just okay. The ratio of chicken to bread was off. But the homemade potato chips are fire!

One of the better spots in Universal City walk. You can sit down relax and have a decent meal. The Meatballs Marinara Appetizer was not without flavor. The Steak Tagliata with a side of spaghetti was also good. Cucumber Coolers were tasty. Sitting at the bar, it took a while for the service to get going, but like most places, they seemed to be understaffed. Not the friendliest servers in the business, but eventually, it all came together.

This is a delicious choice if you are at City Walk. After spending the day at Universal Studios, it was lovely to come into this beautiful restaurant with excellent service. Our friendly server even warned my daughter about the size and refillability of her requested beverage. My girls loved their lasagna and fried cauliflower. The Venetian salad was very good - the "fresh" mozzarella was not fresh but was standard mozzarella balls but the salad was otherwise outstanding. The Brussels were best in class - crunchy with an awesome Caesar like dressing. They had a great selection of wines by 6 oz and 9 oz pours.I was disappointed that there was no birthday treat for my LO. But it may be because of the toursity vibe. Iit was otherwise a great meal.

The food was pretty good. We were all hungry and tired which is never a good combination. We asked for a table of 5 and were told to wait 15 minutes which was odd because the restaurant wasn't full. Perhaps, they wouldn't to make it seem like they were busier than they really were or they didn't want make the restaurant too busy for the kitchen to handle. Who knows! I just thought that odd and a torture for us hungry people. Our son got a kids' meal order of spaghetti with a large meatball and a cup of milk. It was quite good. Our son liked it! We ordered two personal size pizzas for the table. The pizzas were pretty good. Thin crust with a nice crunch. That kind of wood fired style pizza. The price was a bit steep, but to be expected given the location. The service was pretty good. It was pretty attentive in the beginning. However, it was kind of difficult to pay. I had to track down the waiter and go to a certain station to pay with Apple Pay which was inconvenient system. They should bring the machine to the table for the customer to pay. This is not a diner style restaurant where you pay at the front. Just a suggestion.

Got lunch here on a Tuesday afternoon and the restaurant was not busy. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive throughout the meal. We sat on the patio and it was really nice both indoors and outdoors. It has a very clean and fancy environment and the food was really good too! I got the chicken parmigiana and my friend got the chicken piccata. Both were cooked well and the pasta was not soggy. Would come back to eat here!
