Osteria Vivo Restaurant

We had a phenomenal first meal here and will definitely be back. We started with the Caesar salad and the house-made focaccia … both were excellent and highly recommended. For our mains, we tried the Scallops and Linguine and the Lobster and Oxtail Pasta. Both dishes were incredibly fresh and the flavors were outstanding. The quality honestly competes with the best spots in the North End. Can’t wait to return and try more of the menu!

I cannot recommend the composed oysters on this menu enough! They are absolutely to die for. We had a great time sitting at the bar with our incredible bartender who took great care of us while we had a drink and some snacks before heading to a show at Soundcheck Studios. Fantastic spot, can't wait to come back and try more.

What a wonderful experience. Leo our server was fun, knowledgeable and patient. He served me delicious coffee, while I awaited my large party and checked out the menu. We tried a little bit of everything. The food was decadence in a dish. After appetizers and entrees, we could not resist dessert. The cannoli, lava cake and tiramisu were gobbled by the spoon full. I will be making reservations for my birthday!

Not pictured is any of the food we consumed because it was so good I was too busy eating it to take pictures. The miso Arancini, mussels, and pasta with sausage and broccoli rabi were amazing. Martinis are top-notch! Only downside is they save room at the bar for regulars even if the seats are empty. We were denied a seat at the bar and those seats remained empty until after we were leaving. Definitely left a bit of a sour taste.

Went here for the first time on Valentine’s Day. Obviously a busy night to go out to eat. They were running a little late for our table but we got seats at the bar, and they were really communicative. And they kept it all very seamless for us with keeping the same server when we switched to our table, so we didn’t have to worry about cashing out or anything. The food and drinks were great and all the staff was all very nice. Would definitely recommend and return!
