we wanted to go to weatherspoons, but our thoughts changed after we smell the food from viva. we sat right away, but where we were put was too cold to enjoy our time there. I mentioned this on our server, who said no problem, we can move them we were redirected next to the fire and a heat sink. nothing was too much annoyed. the food we ordered came hot and perfectly boiled, we shared garlic mushrooms, bruchetta and p...

Have been here many times and recently had several takeaways but this time the food was min (ok just an estimate on when it’ll be ready so fair enough) but the main dishes portions were very small, takeaway container (rectangular not the usual round...ones we have had from here previously which give a good sized portion) was barely full and looked more like a child’s portion on the plate.

Viva offers a mixed dining experience, characterized by a warm atmosphere and friendly service, though inconsistencies in food quality and portion sizes have been noted. Many patrons appreciate the delicious, well-cooked dishes, with highlights including garlic mushrooms, pizzas, and hearty pastas. However, some reviews cite disappointing experiences with misplaced orders and small takeaway portions. While the restaurant's popularity can slow service, many find it worth the wait for the generous early bird specials. Overall, Viva remains a tempting option for families and groups despite occasional hiccups, inviting diners to enjoy reasonably priced meals in a cozy setting.
