Was Elta Miller at Vivere a mag?
This is restaurant week in Chicago We had tried Spiaggia Cafe..for lunch just so-so...we were disappointed Vivere was sooo much better: duck ravioli with a very delicious sauce, excellent squash soup..dessert..a cake with chocolate..not the strongest part of the menu Recommend Vivere..which, I did not know, is part of the Italian Village View all feedback.

What Michaela Zweck dislikes about Vivere:
Everything was very nice, but the portions were small. The menu decriptions gave the impression there would be side dishes but there really weren’t. We were disappointed with that. We ended up ordering dessert and asking for more bread after the meal View all feedback.

I have always enjoyed their pheasant-filled pasta, and my most recent visit lived up to my expectations.

I took my partner out for a romantic date and found this restaurant on Google. Even though I struggled with pronouncing some items on the menu, I thought it must be high-end. The portions were not large, but the food was extremely tasty. Our waiter was attentive in keeping our water glasses full, and the waitress was very informed about the menu. If you are looking for a top-quality dining experience, Vivere is the spot to visit. Just be ready for the high prices! And don't forget to leave a generous tip.

I had an incredible time at this restaurant. You have to try the risotto - it's a must! The service was impeccable.
