great food/ great wine list/ great service – My wife and I ate here before attending a musical. Staff jumped at every chance to help us. Ambiance was romantic, and quiet. We arrived very early, and were able to sit after dinner w/out staff rushing us out the door. This was a great dining experience, and I highly recommend it.
Not worth it – My husband took me here the night he proposed to me, and had told the wait staff that he was going to so that they can really go out of our way. They did nothing. I ordered the ravioli and I got 4 tiny raviolis that cost over $25. For the price, this place is just not worth it.
BonaMangiamo – This is a good Italian restaurant. My Uncles first told me about it and I've been there a number of times.
An authentic Italian experience – I often entertain guests from out of town and they always enjoy the care that the staff takes to ensure my dining experience is superb. The food is dynamic and the Chef comes to the table to explain the tasting menu. I enjoy the beautiful selection of wines and grappas and the wine director helped us with our selections and properly decanted and served our wine. A must when in Chicago.
Wine List still the best, food slipped – Great award-winning wine list. The sommelier was cordial and knowledgeable. Service was fairly consistent, although the food was not. Some of the signature dishes still shine, but the rest of the menu can be hit or miss. Rather boring food for such a nice dining room, service and wine. May be good for pre-theater dining, but overall the food was lackluster.
Italian Alice in Wonderland – I have never seen anyplace like this! The decor is amazing. We were delighted with the on the mark service, loved the Chef Drue who came personally to our table, the food was original and delicious, the wine list the best we have ever encountered, ( and we have been to France and Italy). We will dine there frequently.
fabulous wine list! – Vivere is THE perfect place to dine before the CSO! fabulous wine list - wonderful menu - the butternut squash ravioli is to die for! Attentive knowledgeable staff will assist you in selecting the perfect dining experience. Reasonably priced for the quality of food/wine.
Simply Average – My wife and I went here before heading over the CSO. The food was not very tasty and seemed to be overpriced. The seafood was very dry and the service was rushed and not very friendly. The dessert didn't prove to be a good ending either. Overall, I would not go back or recommend this place to friends.
Wonderful dining – My husband and I have tried most of the recommended Italian restaurants in Chicago with the exception of Vivere. What a wonderful restaurant! Superb service, ambiance and interesting and unique contemporary Italian food. This might not be the place if you're looking for spaghetti and meatballs, but if upscale gourmet Italian is what you're looking for, Vivere is the place to go. We'd definitely go back.
