Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Windermere

Amazing food, ambience and service. Jacob was our server and listened to our preferences and made recommendations that were perfect. The food was delicious, and very well presented.

GNOCCHI best I have ever had even in Italy. PAPPARDELLE also excellent. Ravioli good+. Pizza just OK. ROASTED VERDURE salad, different and delicious. Short but quite decent Italian wines selection. We will return.

The experience was awesome. Service was great we are welcomed with refreshing beverage and our server was very accommodating. Food was amazing.

This was not our first time dining at VIVO, & for good reason. The food, as always, was both authentic, & scrumptious, each choice we made so incredible that we willingly shared with others at our table as the portions are both generous, and simply too delicious to gate keep for ourselves. If there’s someone you’d truly enjoy sharing a culinary delight with, VIVO is the place to be! We can’t wait to go again to try other offerings on their menu, while pairing new choices with the favourites we just can’t pass up.

Buco exceeded expectations! Despite arriving early, we were seated right away, and our waitress was incredible—kind, attentive, and thoughtful. The appetizers (arancini, prosciutto-wrapped mozza balls) were amazing, and the ribeye with garlic dip was perfection. Highly recommend for delicious food and outstanding service. Can’t wait to return!
