Vivo Seasonal Trattoria

Lion & Poodles adventures

We ordered 2 sets of their jumbo wings which were very good! The only reason we give this place 3 stars is because the server rarely came to check up on us and the prices were too high l.

We had a great dinner there this past fall (2018). My dining partner and I wanting to order two different things, the steak with gorgonzola and the gnocchi, the waitress asked us if we wanted the chef to split the two items between us, which we happily agreed to do. Delicious pairing and amazing gnocchi. Our friend who joined us had a full order of gnocchi which he agreed was perfect. Modern interior. Attentive staff. Follow up visit in early May this year (2019): We returned to share the same two entrees we did last fall they were so delicious: The steak and the gnocchi. With restaurants, chefs or buyers for their menu items can change, so this visit was not as impressive. Our food was good but not exceptional as our first time. The grilled sirloin steak seemed to be of lesser quality and the gnocchi con funghi was quite overcooked with a brown crust. Plenty of mushrooms, however. This chef did not split our two dinners for us in the kitchen either. We each got one entree and were told to split them ourselves. The bread, olive tapanade and bowl of olives that comes with your meal is still good, and our waitress did go and find some white bread for us when one of us couldn't eat seeds. A friend who joined us liked his bolognese alla rigatoni very much. The atmosphere is spacious and pleasing decor wise. Our drinks were well made. There is a large wine selection, too. The appetizer portion of the menu could use a little variety as there's nothing we have felt like ordering this visit or the previous one. Photos from May meal below. First dinner 2018, dinner photos can be seen under Marriott Hartford Downtown, as Vivo is in this hotel's lobby.
