What people say

"A place that I return to daily in Rome!!! Beautiful atmosphere from the chaos of outside, delicious array of desserts (Neapolitan Pastiera is my all-time favourite), yummy burgers, pinsa and salads, drinks to die for- ESPECIALLY matcha! The waiters are extremely helpful and lovely 💗 It might seem bit pricy (depending on your orders) but considering the fact that it is right in the heart of the busiest piazza, it is okay to treat yourself with everything Vivi offers!"
