Viva Sgobba - Reserva de mesa

It starts with bread being served with butter, not olive oil. The wine card has only a handfull of italian wines to choose from and even at 60$ a bottle, the pino griggio doesn't even have a cork, in true Quebec fashion it's a twist cap! Accompanying pasta was overcooked and served in a creamy sauce. No italian I know would dare to serve supermarket pasta instead of fresh pasta. Although I mentioned to the server that such pasta are unedible, we were not offered an apology nor a grappa on the house. But for the rest of my party who had not travelled to Europe and could not compare to real italian food, they found it acceptable. Seeing the cars parked outside, it looks like this is a highly r...

Now, let's talk about the food—oh my goodness! It was bursting with flavor, and the texture was just perfect. Overall, it was a genuinely exceptional dining experience. Our amazing plates arrived without too much of a wait, and we were left utterly satisfied. It's clear that all the ingredients are fresh, and we appreciate that, as we prioritize fresh food. It's evident that the owner genuinely cares about the quality of the dining experience offered, and that deserves high praise. I highly recommend this place—it's a resounding yes from me, much like recommending the moon!

The management of this restaurant hails from one of the top establishments in Quebec City. If you call a few days in advance, you can request special dishes. The location is fantastic—it's close to everything! I've visited several times and have never been disappointed. It can be a bit pricey, but the experience is well worth it. The service is outstanding, and the staff is friendly and very accommodating. And once again, the food is simply 'WOW.'

This was my first visit as part of a birthday dinner treat from my boyfriend. We received a warm welcome, enjoyed great service, and loved the atmosphere. I am quite particular about food quality, and I have no complaints—everything was excellent. Thank you to the owner for their hospitality, the Calvados, and the Grappa; we were too full for dessert! Wishing the entire team continued success, and thank you! Reserva una mesa ahora

Overall, a great offering a good at Viva. The plating was on point both for the bisque and my snow crab risotto. However, it's misleading to call this place an Italian restaurant... it's not really Italian in terms of dishes. To give you an idea, there wasn't any pasta option for lunch. Therefore, I can't say it's a 5 stars. All in all though, a good option for a good meal and well presented meal.

We ordered a bottle of wine from the menu, along with two dishes: duck risotto and seafood linguine, totaling $150 for dinner for two. Both dishes were delicious, and the portions were generous for the price. The pasta was fresh and included a good amount of seafood. I can confidently say it's the best risotto I've ever had. The ambiance was fantastic as well!

Went a saturday evening. Ambiance a food was good but the service extremely slow. Waited 90 minutes for the appetizer and another 60 minutes for the main dish. Obviously they had a problem which happens to the best. But no one came to inform us out of respect. No explanation. Lack of respect to the clientèle

I really enjoy this restaurant. Every time I visit, I'm always pleased with my meal. Their pasta and risotto come highly recommended. The atmosphere is quite relaxed, and I usually receive good service. Occasionally, the entrance could use a little improvement, but overall, it’s a great experience. Reserva una mesa ahora

What a wonderful place for a romantic dinner. The service is impeccable and very attentive. You have to try the veal cutlets as well as their Brazilian or Irish coffee.
