Vivo - Bayside

I visited this restaurant on Christmas Eve, and I was truly impressed. The ambiance was lovely, and the service was exceptional—very attentive. The food was outstanding; I had the mussels marinara, and they were the best I've ever tasted. I also enjoyed the beef short rib roast, which was incredibly tender and succulent. I'm looking forward to returning!

We hosted our wedding reception at Vivo in September 2023, and we couldn’t be happier with our decision. The food, staff, and atmosphere were all excellent, and we received so many compliments! Working with Paul was a dream; he was consistently professional and always available. When we had to move our outdoor cocktail hour inside due to Hurricane Ophelia, Paul and his team made the transition effortlessly. Everything was beautiful! Thank you!

I had a wonderful Thanksgiving here with my family. From the moment we walked in the door we were given a warm welcome by the maitre d. This was my first time at Vivo and the interior is gorgeous, it was an old mansion owned by a 1940’s silent film star, later purchased by Fiorello LaGuardia and transformed through the years to this catering and event space. The food selection was great, they had Thanksgiving classics like Turkey, mashed potatoes and stuffing with some Italian food as well. Everything was fresh, delicious and high quality. Price was unbeatable for Thanksgiving buffet in NYC. Not to mention the service was attentive and friendly. I hope to make it a tradition to come back with my family every Thanksgiving. Thanks to Vivo for a wonderful holiday experience.

We had an amazing deal for Thanksgiving! The buffet-style setup offered high-quality food, and the turkey was particularly impressive. My family thoroughly enjoyed the meal, making our Thanksgiving celebration truly memorable. There were plenty of side dishes and desserts to choose from. The staff was attentive and friendly, enhancing our experience. I would definitely return to Vivo for another special occasion.

It was a great place to share laughs, company and great food.
