This was my first time here, my boyfriend surprised me with a meal out. We both love Italian food, so it was a good choice, high five him lol. The food was amazing, and very generous portion sizes, we were stuffed and never made it to pudding. The staff were lovely and very friendly. My other half had calamari for starter which we were advised would take a little bit longer to come out. But actually we both got our food very quickly and they seemed quite busy. We will be going again and highly recommend to anyone. The food was gorgeous neither of us wanted it to end lol. Thank you
Fantastic! Family meal for 12, all came out at the same time despite very different dishes ordered, fantastic food, fantastic service, 12 full bellies :) would definitely recommend to anyone!

Had a fantastic meal here on Mothers Day, food was excellent & the staff were very attentive and helpful. Couldn't fault it we will be back v. soon. �
Had a lovely takeaway last Friday. Very reasonably priced, very good sized portions and we got a free dessert. The gluten free Spaghetti Bolognese was lovely, haven't ordered from here for a while but would definitely order again.

Wonderful food. Dont normally write reviews but had to for Vivere as just too good to not tell people about!
Had take away from here many times and never disappointed, always hot and tasty.
Decided to eat in and the food was absolutely lovely, staff were very friendly and it was hot. Was a little while of a wait for food but not enough to complain about inside, just worth noting.
A lovely meal once again and will always be one of my favourite Italian restaurants.
No where gets 5 stars but this was close.
Booked a table for 8 pm on a Saturday.
Not many in. The staff were friendly and the food was excellent
Definitely coming again
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!

TLDR: 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.
Was first time visiting here. Lovely kind staff & tasty food. I had tried the Vegetarian Pizza, well made just personally there was too much cheese!
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.
Food was tasty, hot and well presented, and given 6 of us ate more than enough with a drink each for £20 per head, I’d say that’s good enough value for money! Great service, but lost a star lost since the drinks are massively overpriced - nearly £5 for a Coke Zero is seriously pushing it.
Amazing food, service could be improved.
There is great choice of dishes on offer and the portion size is very generous. They offer gluten-free pasta (for an extra 99p).
Only thing that it it down was the service seemed a little overwhelmed for a Saturday.
Had a great time and will visit again.
The food was delicious, very well presented and there was a lovely attention to detail. We had excellent service in a warm and family friendly atmosphere.
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.

16 of us came for my son and daughter in laws 1st wedding anniversary. All the staff were absolutely amazing from the moment we arrived till when we left. A big thanks to, Lyndsey, Dore, Babac, Cory and Anya.
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.
A fantastic restaurant, top quality food, good prices, excellent service, clean friendly, nice atmosphere I couldn't recommend it enough, will definitely go back soo
Excellent food especially the mussels, and garlic and mushroom bread. Venison tagliatelle was very moorish and service from Rae was great. Defo recommend!
