Loved the food and the service was great!

Very very nice Italian restaurant. Food was a little bit oily for my taste but that's just preference!

Excellent Italian food

Brilliant food & brilliant service would definitely recommend

Delicious authentic Italian food in a relaxed, friendly setting. The wild salmon linguine and lemon pavlova cheesecake were excellent. The staff were very welcoming, accommodating and attentive. I highly recommend this award-winning restaurant!

Wheelchair accessibility: All on the level, so wheelchair users should have no issues.

Had a fantastic Father’s Day meal food was great and portion sizes are enormous service was brilliant Lyndsey and Ray are great would definitely recommend

Wow. The food here is just stunning . Really good value . Why youd ever go to a terrible chain restaurant with this gem of a place open is beyond me.
The staff are amazingly friendly. Including the Chef who was out talking to customers before it got busy  . The allergen awareness was brilliant. Lots of gluten free choices . Would highly recommend . Advise you book in to avoid disappointment.

Dietary restrictions: Allegen awareness was fantastic and lots of vegan options .

I came here for a meal with my colleague and we really enjoyed our time here. I had a pasta dish (penne with seafood) and my colleague had a chicken dish with salad and   chips. The food was lovely and reasonably priced. The waitress was so lovely and friendly. We had a wonderful time and would high recommend.

Been at vivere last night with my boyfriend and 2 kids we had version tagliatele and kids portions bolonaise  and Quatro pizza ,can say everything were beautiful and very good value for money also they offer homemade tiramasu and Panna cotta which we have tried tiramasu very fresh and tasty  😋 …

Had a beautiful meal there with my partner and a friend tonight. The staff were so lovely and polite, and were not afraid to have a laugh with us. The food was just gorgeous with plenty of flavour and even the coffee at the end stayed nice and hot for ages. Just stunning, thank you so much to the whole Vivere team.

Ordered through Oh my god this place is insanely good. You really need to try it. The fusilli al puttanesca along with a mariola are two fantastic dishes that aren’t too spicy (sensitive to spice) but pack a seriously flavourful bang for your buck. Save room for desert.

Our visit was a last-minute “lets do it!” and fate couldn’t have been kinder. The décor conveys a classy, elegant, family-run restaurant with an emphasis on quality. The staff were extremely attentive, polite and welcoming with a smile.

We started with a fairly light starter – bruschetta along with some in-house made bread with some olive oil and balsamic vinegar (beautiful decanters and plates). I am very picky about my food and had never been brave enough to try bruschetta before. This time it looked so good I decided to explore, and I was not disappointed. The flavours were quite impressive – a fantastic combination of sweet, salty and spicy with a crunchy and powerful base. The bread with the oil and vinegar was warm, crispy and still a bit moist. A beautiful accompaniment. The starters gave an indication of how good the food was going to be but I hadn’t expected what was to come.

For our mains we ordered fusilli al puttanesca along with a mariola, myself having the fusilli. The first bite (quite literally) of the fusilli al puttanesca is quite difficult to describe. I was instantly in shock. I have worked in kitchens for 7 years. I have spent and dined for 2 weeks on the Amalfi coast. I am a lover of Italian food. This dish truly shocked me as to how good it was. The flavours were explosive, rich and full, all the  while the textures caused a celebration in my mouth. The fusilli was Perfect. The sausage was Perfect. Sitting typing this out, I long for that first bite again. How can something, described so basically as “Napoli red sauce, with salsiccia Italian sausage, chilli and parmesan.” Rock my tasting world so much, be so rich and flavourful and be cooked so perfectly so as to get a solid feeling and understand the meaning of “al dente”.  The Mariola left my partner speechless. The bacon, pasta and sauce was all cooked beautifully giving a powerful flavour combination that was difficult to resist – even when we felt like we were going to pop! We somehow managed to polish off these mains along with a cheesy garlic bread (with actual slices of garlic!!!!! Yes!!!!) that was the perfect accompaniment.

After a wile debating and trying to figure out if we had room – we decided to go all in and try a desert too. We opted for a Raspberry Pavlova and a Salted Caramel Cheesecake. I’d love to tell you how the Raspberry Pavlova tasted and looked, sadly I only managed to catch a mere glimpse of it before it disappeared at light speed. It seems it was irresistible to my partner. What I didn’t know is that for the entire 10 minute car ride home he wouldn’t stop talking about how good it was and if he wasn’t going to pop, he could easily have gone for another. My salted caramel cheesecake was delectable, smooth and, believe it or not, salty! It’s so difficult to find something today that is advertised as salted caramel that is actually salted! The portion size was perfect – enough to enjoy but small enough to not be a chore to finish, while also being presented impeccably.

Overall, this may be my new favourite place in Stafford. A truly hidden gem, sitting right under our noses when we all walk by. Only those who are brave or curious enough to enter will understand what culinary delights hide behind those doors with subtle banners of green, white read. I’m due to leave for another adventure soon. When I am back, I know where I am going to go for my food. Ciao and I will see you soon.

Parking: Free, massive parking area just across the road.

Dietary restrictions: Caters to dietary restrictions including ciliac (GF).

Ordered through Uber eats and it was fantastic! Portions are amazing and the pasta is so tasty. Free garlic bread too! Definitely order again!

A lovely little restaurant with great food and very reasonably priced. It would definitely be one of my regular haunts if I lived locally. Excellent value, highly recommended.

Excellent  food. Soo tasty

We had a really lovely anniversary meal here on the evening of Friday 28/04/23. We had pre-booked a table and I'm glad because it was busy but there were still empty tables so if you haven't, don't worry too much. We were sat in a secluded spot by the window in the bar area, which was lovely. The servers were all so nice and greeted you with a smile. We had 3 courses. I had the bolognaise stuffed pepper and my partner ordered a garlic pizza bread as a starter, both were full of flavour and the meat in my dish was melt in the mouth delicious! For mains, I had a pizza and my partner had a carbonara, again both really good. For desert, we couldn't decide so we ordered all 3 of the options we wanted and had the chefs special tiramisu, which I am not exaggerating when I say it was the best I've ever tasted in my life and I will be going back for more so I hope it doesn't dissappear as a special, then we also got the lemon meringue cheesecake and the salted caramel cheesecake, both seriously delicious! My partner did also get a cocktail, which he really enjoyed. We did try to order the Limoncello one but they had ran out of it, which for an Italian I was shocked by, so he just had a 2nd of the one he'd been drinking. Overall, a lovely meal. Great for a date night or special occasion and would recommend to others.

Vegetarian options: The menu did have veggie and vegan options for all 3 courses but it also said to discuss options with the servers, who in our experience we found very helpful

Parking: The car parks opposite are max 2 hours stay and are monitored by anpr so if you are likely to go over that, better not to. There's free steet parking adjacent, so we used that. Just park as far on the kerb as possible with space to get past and push your wing mirror in if you can

Wheelchair accessibility: The entrance and restaurant are flush to the floor with no steps, being wheelchair friendly.

Dietary restrictions: They asked us before we placed our order if we had any allergies and the menu did say to let the server know of any dietary requirements.

Definitely recommend...lush

Just had the new venison dish as a takeaway, fabulous 😋😋

Lovely food, great atmosphere, nice friendly staff. Decent vegetarian choices and reasonably priced. Can't wait to go back.

Been back to Vivere many times, the food, service and atmosphere have been amazing every time.

Brilliant food & brilliant service would definitely recommend

Myself and my husband visited here last night,to celebrate our wedding anniversary.We were greeted by a lovely girl lyndsey,who was our waitress for the evening.Nothing was too much trouble,she even made her own version of a mai tai,for my husband when he requested one.It was delicious!(should be on the cocktail menu!).We ordered stuffed peppers for starters,and for main,I had pollo fusilli,and my husband had fantasia.The food was sublime,and as a nice suprise,the owner Dorrieh,came to our table and wished us a happy anniversary,and we had complimentry drink each.I would recommend this restaurant to anyone,for the great friendly staff,beautiful food and great service.We cannot wait to go back!A little piece of Italy right here in Stafford.

Last Wednesday me and my daughter visited Vivere, we were a little skeptical to visit after reading some of the reviews however we were blown away in a positive way with some of the best customer service I personally have experience in a long time. My daughter had a pepperoni pizza (her favourite) she's bugging me to go back ever since. I was recommended a salmon dish by a lovely young lady (Rae), some of the best grub I've had in years. Thank you to Rae and the m kitchen staff, we'll definitely be back soon

Truly amazing food(have dined at leading Italian restaurants in both Birmingham and Manchester),this is fine dining at incredible prices.The service was also exceptional (friendly and efficient),in a cosy and relaxing atmosphere.Large car park (free)across the road.

Stopped off on the way to Liverpool for a ferry after finding on Google. Easy to find and park near. Delicious food and lovely staff. Our daughter has food allergies and staff were really helpful providing the allergen information booklet for each dish to make choosing easy. Will definitely stop here again if passing.

Lovely food great variety well worth a visit or takeaway

Lovely, friendly staff. Quick and efficient service. Good food, which was very filling.

Lovely food, great atmosphere, nice friendly staff. Decent vegetarian choices and reasonably priced. Can't wait to go back.

Excellent restaurant lovely food , highly recommend

Stunning food, highly recommend we  had a spontaneous night  best night in ages thankyou guys xx

Very nice place with very good and quality food

The lady who served us was lovely very friendly and helpful. It was a very quiet night only one other table. The food was very tasty I had pasta and my friend has pizza. We both went for the salted caramel cheesecake which was nice but frozen. It's a shame they don't make their own instead of buying in frozen desserts. But still will definitely go again and would recommend.

Great food, my absolute favourite is the cannelloni!

Fantastic food, piping hot and delicious. Loved the service button at the table. All staff extremely attentive and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent food and service.
