Review from Tara A.

I need to start this review by saying that I have NEVER been to a restaurant as happy as this one. Now you might ask what was so happy about this place? Well it's simple. EVERYTHING.
The service was some of the best I have had in an incredibly long time. The staff were always coming by to tell a story or to hear ours. They were quick with suggestions and just genuinely loved working here. (says something for the management right?!)
The atmosphere was lively and energetic but still intimate enough that you can enjoy a first date (or last!) and be satisfied. The piano player in the middle of the restaurant was a beautifully added touch to the whole environment.
The wine list was impeccable. My advice on this one, bypass the wines by the glass as they are low on the totem pole and go outside your comfort zone. You may be surprised as what you may find here. Also, let them recommend something. I promise you that the servers here know how to serve a drink.
Now for the BEST part, the Food. I had the Calamari to start which was everything I was craving. I then had the mushroom risotto which was probably some of the best risotto I've ever had. Everyone at the table was salivating over every course that was put on the table. I tried my friend's gnocchi. Let me say this about their gnocchi. If you have never had gnocchi in your life, do not go here to try it first. It will ruin you for any and all future gnocchi dining experiences. It's amazing.
My advice on the food as well, wait until they tell you the specials (there will be several!) before making your selection.
Lastly, save room for dessert. You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. I promise.
It does NOT get much better than this place. And if you are looking for a round table dining experience, this place accommodates it!
I will be forever changed about my "sighs" when I have to go to the west end because of this place. -

Great looking place, and great staff. I was here for a private party, in a private room so my experience might be atypical. All around good ambience in the main dining room. The steak I ordered however could only be cooked one way, medium. No option for rare, medium-rare, or well done. Not sure why.

Good meal, good atmosphere.
Waiter had good sense of humor, told us that sparkling water had round bubbles.
Their rendition of happy birthday puts all others to shame. -

Big delicious Italian Vibo serves up classy generous portions of Pasta, Risotto e Farinaci and Main courses. We were a party of five sitting beside the piano. Risotto balls, zoupa of the day, and bruschetta for appetizers and veal with lingunni as a main. Cresspella and deep fried risotto balls were 5 out of 5.
Main courses we equally splendid. Great old school service and accommodating staff. $80pp with alcohol and dessert. A full meal. Bloor west has a good deal of restaurants to choose from and Vibo is a great example. -

We had dinner consisting of poached pear and gorganzola salad, calamari sorrentino (pan fried with olives etc.) shared mushroom risotto (perhaps the best I've ever had), beef tenderloin medalians (nightly special), rack of lamb (also one of the best rack ever, with 7 chops).
The portions were large, the quality was excellent. price was good for all that food plus a few drinks: $148 incl tax.
Service was exceptional too. Live music provided by grand piano.
It is not cheap by any means, but with the quality so high, it is a good value.
Highly recommend. -

My boyfriend and I have birthdays two days apart. So, we get a week long celebration. My dad wanted to take us out for dinner and he likes Vibo and hadn't been in a while, since he moved out of the neighbourhood. We were pumped, who doesn't like free food, birthdays and not having to travel to another area code for dinner?
The food was pretty good, though the tomatoes in the salads we ordered were quite cold. My pasta special was delicious, in fact I'm trying to hold off eating my leftovers right now (it's 9:15 am). Mmmm tomatoes, red onions, rapini and sausage! We were too full to have dessert.
I took one star off because they tried to sit me with my "party" unfortunately I had no idea who those three women were! Luckily I found the people I knew : ) -

I've been to vibe several times and I would go again and again. I've yet to have a dish I wasn't thrilled with and even if I wasn't they would make it right by remaking it or bringing me something else.
The vibe there is nice...the servers know what they are talking about and make good wine suggestions. The owners will usually come by and make sure everything to to your liking
Don't expect a cheap meal but do expect quality -

I was quite impressed by Vibo. The food was amazing and the staff was helpful and extermely freindly. I felt like I was welcomed into their house. Starting with the Eggplant Parmigiana set the stage. The tomato sauce was simple and flavourful. It felt like another. For dinner, the roasted rack of lamb melted in my mouth. I would order it again, but maybe after I work my way through the rest of the menu. I will be back! And I am sure it will be an internal battle on whether I have the Eggplant Parmigiana again or I try another app.

Was very disappointed in Vibo. It looks really nice from the outside and it's trying to be a fancy wine bar, but really is quite an average place. Very pricey food and very slow service. We were there on a Tuesday evening when it was very quiet and it took 45 minutes for our entrees (we didn't order appetizers). The steak was great but the prawn and scallop dish was average and definitely didn't justify the price. The wine list was very mediocre. We wouldn't go there again but if money isn't a problem, then it's a nice enough place (which is why I gave it 2 stars instead of 1).
