30/09/2025: A spacious, minimalist restaurant. Self-service during the day, excellent quality restaurant in the evening. All the dishes are delicious, unpretentious but always plentiful, served cheerfully by the young yet highly professional maître d', Daniel, with clear ideas about how to run a restaurant. This is a Milanese trattoria you absolutely must visit because, in addition to the quality and kindness, the prices are absolutely fair.
A year later, I returned to Daniel at Vivà and can confirm the deliciousness of the dishes (blueberry tagliolini with porcini mushroom sauce, truly exceptional), the cheerful yet consistently professional service, and the reasonable prices. Maybe a few euros more than last year, but still competitive for a place like Milan. I'll definitely be back.
16/09/2025: I had a great experience at vivá. The food is excellent, freshly prepared, and very affordable. The system works a bit like a cafeteria: you pick up your meal yourself, which makes everything quick and straightforward. It’s a place mostly frequented by locals, which gives it a very authentic and welcoming atmosphere. A pasta dish costs on average only about five euros – incredible value for such quality. Highly recommended if you’re looking for fresh, delicious food at a great price.
