At Caffé Vivo, we’ve captured a bit of all that’s gorgeous and crazy, maddening and fun about Italy. The mood is lively, the style relaxed and the cooking generous. We’re not Italian, but we love the lifestyle, the food, the attitude. Our ingredients are pure, our dishes authentic, our heart in the right place.

A café by day, simple supper place at night, Caffé Vivo’s food is honest, joyful and full of Italian sunshine. Drop by for a cappuccino and fresh focaccia, a lunchtime bowl of pasta or mozzarella salad, an after-work glass of wine and plate of formaggi or a relaxed supper of grilled calamari or ossobuco. Just a taster from our menu. Plus Italian wines and beers, pre-theatre specials and private dining.

A former 17th century warehouse, the style is fun and functional-chic: brick walls, iron pillars, sparkly aluminium chairs, smooth leather banquettes. No frills, no fuss, just friendly service and a good-time buzz.

Unleash that inner Italian!

vivo (adj): alive, living.
