Stumbled across this place about 6 weeks ago and had a lovely meal so decided to book it for my daughters 21st family meal. Well we weren’t let down, the food was excellent and the staff were bril. Thanks for an enjoyable evening
Just came in on a snowy February evening for a special date night with my husband to celebrate a late birthday and valentines date meal! I can’t thank the staff enough! Food was delicious and my husband even spoke to the chef Dave as he cooked the most amazing steak to his liking! The salmon risotto was delicious!! The restaurant is clean and we both felt so relaxed!
Only issue we had was the ladies toilet was extremely cold and the heater didn’t seem to be working! The whole meal and service was the best!
Lovely staff meal, the staff was friendly and the meal was delicious! Was served fast too! Would recommend�
Love this place, food is amazing, yet to find anywhere that does a better steak. Staff friendly and always accommodating would highly recommend for a fabulous meal xx
This was our first night out since having our baby, went for my husband's birthday and was not disappointed. We originally wanted to go to Herd for steak but they are shut on a Tuesday, we are now so glad we chose Viva. The food was amazing, the fillet steak was to die for (I enjoyed sharing my husband's!!) and reasonably priced. Also had prawns and antipasti to start which was yummy and a pasta dish, also yummy �. Tiramisu also fab! All the staff were lovely and there was a lovely atmosphere in restaurant, could see why it was almost full on a Tuesday night, so I'd recommend booking esp on a Friday or Saturday. I can't believe we've not been before, but we will def be back, thanks everyone x
Excellent Steak Diane and a killer Tiramisu - one of the best meals I have eaten in years !!!
Not particularly cheap but worth the cost �
Walked in with our 5yo for an early dinner after a gullivers trip. Food was gorgeous, service very good. Lovely waiting staff who were lovely with our daughter (who was a little gem throughout #winner)
Would definitely recommend. �
Visited yesterday for a meal with a friend and highly recommend to others. The food was amazing and service was great � Make sure you call to check if they have tables free during the weekend as they're busy but definitely with a visit if you like your Italian food!
Ate at Viva Matlock with a dozen or so friends. Excellent food. Good atmosphere. Good service. Helpful staff.
Fantastic food and great service. I would definitely come back and recommend to friends.
We booked in for dinner. The restaurant was busy but the service was not affected.
The food was superb. We had a tagliatelle bolognaise and the manzo cacciatore, with a side of ciabatta bread.
The food was delicious and was generously portioned. We paid £38 for two main courses, a side and two sift drinks.
All in all, we could not fault Viva and will definitely return.
Great quality classic Italian cuisine. It arrived quickly and was piping hot. Very healthy portion sizes so reason to give anything but 5 ⭐️s. The steak tartare was my personal favourite 🤩
Lovely food and great surroundings, very popular Italian restaurant with a large menu selection. I would have given this a full five stars but the only thing that let it down slightly is the service which one member off staff in particular appeared very inexperienced.
Fantastic food wonderful staff 1st class service 5stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Nice meal. House wine not very nice and certainly overpriced for the quality.
Pleasant staff. Unhurried service. I think there weren't enough cooks for the number of diners. Very fancy plates, garnished with swirls and wiggles of decorative condiment.
Really good quality food and large portions, service was attentive but relaxed. Highly recommend
Out for a day trip.we booked ahead no problem. There was three of us including our baby.
Food was very nice and came out in a timely manner. Pizza was a lovely thin base and cooked perfect.
We all had a great time. Would recommend and go again
Lovely Italian, food was beyond amazing … great presentation and friendly service. Would recommend. Very reasonably priced as well.
We visited for our 40th wedding anniversary with family and it was a lovely experience. Very attentive staff, amazing food and very comfortable surroundings. Definitely visit again.
Called in without reservation and was greeted warmly and given a choice of tables.
Service very friendly and attentive and not hurried. Food was delicious and delivered within an acceptable time and was lovely and hot and tasty.
In all very happy and price very reasonable.
The food is incredible, cooked to perfection and beautifully displayed. The decor was lovely and oozed Italian vibes. Unfortunately we weren't greeted at the door and stood in the empty restaurant for a minute. We didn't receive a check back about our food and the staff weren't too cheery, as a waitress this did bug me.
There were around 6 songs on the playlist and we heard That's Amore 3 times. I love Deano as much as the next person but it was annoying.
I'd come back for the food but I wouldn't if the service was at the same level.
Loved the restaurant. The food was amazing. The restaurant just opened after pandemic and few of the staff were on their first day of work. But they were doing their best to serve well in a busy restaurant. I Wish them all the best .
Dropped by early on a Saturday evening to be greeted by lovely staff who were attentive and polite. Ordered drinks and informed that we would not have to pay for them due to a lack of gas on the pumps, in fairness they were fine.
On ordering we were informed to show restraint on the starters as they were large, as a result I only ordered a main (wife had a starter!) and we were really impressed with the honesty.
The food was piping hot, well presented and best of all really tasty. Pricing for main meals was also very reasonable.
All in all, fantastic spontaneous visit. Can't recommend Viva enough. Brilliant. First of many visits.
Upon arriving, we got seen within seconds and seated in a lovely spot next to the window. After seating, the service was very fast and we got our food within 20 minutes of arriving as did the other customers there. The manager and waiters were ever so polite and even let us take the meal home! The restaurant has such a creative menu and the decorations around the restaurant are outstanding. Very unique style and it feels so magical in the environment. Not to mention, the food prices were fabulous and portion size was excellent!
Will definitely be coming back here, amazing business!!
