I enjoyed this place. Nice, classic Italian dishes won't leave you disappointed but if you expect something from different cuisine you shall be more careful with your choices. This place is about Italy, Italian people, their culture and their cuisine. I do recommend for pizza and pasta lovers: you will taste a difference between Italian food and a food which pretend to be Italian.

One of, if not THE best meals I’ve ever had. From the moment we walked in we were made to feel right at home. I was with my wife and honestly it was perfect. A great place for a date. We haven’t been to a place like this before (though we’re already relatively familiar with places like this) and the concept was explained very clearly to us.
The food was absolutely breathtaking. Every single piece of meat was full of flavour and cooked to perfection. The sides were great too. Drinks perfect. If I was being really picky, the drinks service was a little slow but honestly, it doesn’t make

We had the pleasure in visiting Glasgow from London and we absolutely loved Viva Brazil, the staff, atmosphere, surrounding and location. They were very welcoming and attentive. At the end they surprised our little girl with a birthday cake and song! Thank you for being part of her special day and making it awesome! Highly recommended

Viva is, without a doubt, my favourite Italian restaurant in Glasgow.
It's always immaculately clean and the staff are friendly and attentive. Decor wise, it's a mix of dark wood panels and exposed brickwork - but it doesn't feel dingy and dark, just really warm, inviting and cosy.
I've been here a gazillion times over the years - I've never left disappointed. The food is simply awesome. My favourite starter is the minestrone soup - which I used to really dislike until I had it here. It's full of pasta and chunks of veg..perfect for an autumn eve :) Mains...they

What may be adequate for a business lunch disappoints as a post-business dinner. The minestrone was smooth and tomatoey. The parmesan rocket salad was fresh and cheesy but too dry with only a light balsamic. The meat lasagna was okay. The penne salsiccia had good sausage but a bland tomato sauce and food service pasta. The service was friendly, but slow.
So, not a bad dinner -- but nothing noteworthy, memorable, or demanding a return visit, either.

Came into this establisent and it was pretty quiet which can indicate eat worries but I decided to let the food do the talking. Had mozzarella salad which was lovely perfect portion size ind as fresh as u like. Then for my main course a had beef al fungi. It was a beef style pasta in a cream sauce it really was delicious and the staff were friendly and attentive. Would Defo come again

Nothing wrong here - Just about.
Ottimo ristorante italiano adatto a tutti. Damn, sorry. The Learn Italian tape in the toilets is rolling about in my head. Maybe I've visited too many times? In fact just by coincidence and circumstance, I've visited this restaurant twice in one week. On both occasions the place was buzzing, and yet, the service was just as swift and attentive from the smiley and youthful staff. It's Certainly a large space on the corner of Bothwell and West Campbell St, so you'll not feel cramped and it's ideal for large groups.

Second work lunch this week, this time dining at Viva on Bothwell Street.
Again, a large crowd of us (14) and again, like La Lanterna, the staff were ready as we had pre-ordered. Polite and quick service (always high on my plus points list).
The restaurant is clean and simple with a mix of panel wood and bare bricks. Again nice and laid back even during a busy lunch time service.
I had the Fettuccine alla Matriciana, which was delicious, nice wee kick of garlic in there too. Portion size was more than satisfactory. Only (very minor) negative would be lack of choices on the lunch menu hence my

Twas a double birthday in the office today, and we all fancied trying somewhere we hadn't been before. As Italian is always a hit with everyone, even if it's just pizza, we selected Viva - another place in Office Land, just a wee bit up the road from our place of civil servitude. Having booked through 5pm, we were to get 30% off the bill. Being that this was a working lunchtime celebratory meal, we were delighted to find that we could phone in our order as well! All around, this place checked all the boxes.

Popped in here for a quick and easy meal, one night after work. The thing that sticks out in my mind is that the staff were lovely - friendly, courteous and attentive!
I had the spaghetti bolognese, which was great! The desserts looked good, but unfortunately, I was far too full to have any! Next time!

Food and service both very good, although garlic bread a little disappointing.
Spaghetti with seafood was fabulous, lots of shellfish, but less squid than I would have liked.
Loved the Italian lesson piped through in the toilets instead of music, very amusing!
Was packed at lunchtime, will definitely go back
