21/02/2025: impeccable food, service and environment

31/01/2025: One of my favorite restaurants in Franciacorta (and beyond). Quality of dishes, service, location and wines of the highest level. I have had the opportunity to try several starred restaurants in recent years and I can confidently say that Vivilo Ristorante has nothing to envy them (indeed...). Despite the distance, a fixed stop at least once a year. Until next time!

01/04/2025: Excellent restaurant, I will return

22/03/2025: Nice restaurant with a focus on meat. Very good bistecca Fiorentina. Good wine selection.

19/03/2025: Refined environment, top service, original dishes, everything perfect, congratulations!

16/03/2025: Excellent dishes and excellent service in a refined but familiar environment. I organized the graduation lunch for my son, everything was really delicious!!!👏 Great professionalism of the chef Stefano Fanti who has prepared an excellent menu even for vegetarian guests, the wine pairing is perfect. The service was also impeccable: very attentive and discreet👍 I thank you for making this happy day for us even more special with a refined lunch in a unique place. Highly recommended for special events and a must try for anyone coming to Turin! Compliments to the chef 👏👏👏🧿

29/03/2025: Very nice restaurant that has ambitions. The food was really good and was beautiful on the plates. Classic Italian food with a modern touch. The only small negativte was that the service was not perfect, if they fix that the restaurant will get a Michelin star.

28/03/2025: Excellent and enjoyable meal. All the dishes were top notch. I must stress that our waitress exceeded all expectations. She noticed that we don’t eat pork, although we never mentioned it. The menu didn’t mention that our first orders contained pork! She immediately suggested alternative dishes that doesn’t contain pork. This is really something that I highly value! The downside of this lovely restaurant is that our order took an extremely long time. We ended up spending almost an hour and a half in there. Second downside is that our table had plastic chairs! This completely ruins the high-end elite ambiance! Anyhow, I highly recommend it, but make sure that you book your table in advance! I booked directly through the restaurant’s website via email.

03/02/2025: STELLA absolutely deserved, great quality of dishes and almost obsessive care in the choice of raw materials and attention to customers by chef Paolo Lavezzini TOP ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

23/12/2024: Sono stato con mio padre a festeggiare un evento e quindi ho optato per il menù degustazione abbinata a vini. Tutto il cibo è stato molto buono e curato, con vini di qualità ben selezionati. Il sommelier e il capo sala erano molto preparati. Punti dolenti: - Gli altri camerieri non erano minimamente all’altezza del posto; tutti molto impreparati e con poca esperienza; questo ha stonato molto con l’ambiente e il cibo. - quando finivamo l’acqua ci veniva chiesto se volevamo un’altra bottiglia. Quando ho detto basta, ho comunque ricevuto altra acqua (non messa in conto giustamente), ma fa strano ricevere l’acqua anche se non richiesta, avendo pagato tutta le bottiglie precedenti - il caffè non è incluso nel menù degustazione e viene dato un suo menu separato, ma la piccola pasticceria viene offerta gratuitamente. Trovo un po’ di cattivo gusto pagare separatamente un caffè e poi ricevere comunque offerto la pasticceria. Averti preferito avere il caffè incluso, con una scelta separata di caffè speciali a scelta e a pagamento. Diciamo che ci sono state diverse cose che pensano essere migliorate, data la qualità di altri stellati in città.

10/03/2025: 2 women in charge of this restaurant. Paola at the helm of the kitchen, churns out traditional Piedmontese dishes with a revisited twist. His paniscia is delicious! Must try😋 Emanuela, Paola's sister, is ready to welcome you with extreme professionalism and skill.

12/01/2025: Excellent Piedmontese cuisine, very friendly staff, very nice and welcoming environment

23/03/2025: A complete dining experience! The best food, cooked to perfection, served with flair and charm by superb restaurant staff in a beautiful setting.

22/03/2025: Prima volta che siamo andati, siamo stati accolti come fossimo il cliente più storico, professionalissimi e allo stesso tempo cordiali e piacevoli. Menù e piatti davvero curati e buonissimi. Consigliatissimo

06/03/2025: The food is amazing, the place is wonderful, the service is really excellent, it only has one flaw, the portions are really small, if you don't eat from starter to dessert you will leave hungry

17/01/2025: Very nice location, very welcoming place and really nice and quality food. Very kind staff. I would say everything perfect

23/03/2025: Tonight I visited this restaurant and, unfortunately, my experience did not live up to my expectations. The food was okay, but the flavors were mixed and confused, which made it difficult to fully appreciate them. Although the price was acceptable, it cannot be said that the quality justified the cost. The place, on the other hand, is nice and elegant, but what really ruined the evening was the attitude of the staff. At the end of the dinner, while we were having a pleasant chat, the waiter intervened unexpectedly by presenting the bill and asking for immediate payment even though there were still people at the tables in the place. This was definitely inappropriate and broke the atmosphere of the evening. In conclusion, although the restaurant has potential, there are fundamental aspects that need improvement, especially the education and respect of customers.

22/03/2025: The restaurant impresses with its stylish ambience, fine cuisine, and stunning views of Lake Maggiore. Unfortunately, the experience is significantly marred by poor service. A rude, bossy server (presumably the head waitress) is out of place in an upscale dining concept. The requirement to order at least two courses per person is communicated in an unfriendly tone. The service is also inattentive: water is neither refilled nor asked for, salt and pepper have to be requested several times, and the espresso is served lukewarm. Despite the excellent cuisine, the poor service leaves a negative overall impression.

13/03/2025: A nice dining experience, tasty food, and lovely personel. It's a good spot for a group of people to spend a relaxed dinner.

13/03/2025: We were passing through and had lunch at this restaurant with our family. Excellent choice, welcoming place, friendly and helpful waiters, as soon as you enter inside you find the kitchen in front of you and you can observe how they prepare the dishes, well looked after but above all of excellent quality on the tables there are pencils you can use them to leave a drawing, the children took advantage of this. Nonetheless the cleanliness, when I return to Verona I definitely know where to have lunch, I recommend it without any doubt.

23/03/2025: Best restaurant in Italy. Everything fresh and handmade. Top cuisine.

23/03/2025: Nice characteristic place that overlooks a side street, a few steps from the center of Borgomanero. Menu with a wide choice, the same goes for the wine list. Not being from the area, my father and I decided to order some typical local dishes: guinea fowl paté with cockerel salad (appetizer), “Paniscia” risotto (min. for 2 people, first course) and the house Tapulone (second course). We were satisfied with the choices, in particular my father appreciated the risotto while I appreciated the donkey meat (tapulone). Excellent quality/price ratio, also considering the portions. Super kind and welcoming staff. Absolutely recommended!
