ViVi – Villa Pamphili — Restaurant in Rome

My family (two adults and one toddler) and I, plus a group of friends, have been at “Vivi Bistrot” for celebrating my son’s birthday. We booked one week in advance and we choose the terrace at the back of the chalet. We started our lunch at 12.30. And the adults enjoyed a lot the children-friendly environment. Here’s the experience in short: Atmosphere & Place 7: This little chalet is very well organised with a cosy area for the bar and some tables and the two outdoor areas. The restroom cleaning state was acceptable. Menu 7 ½: I opted for the brunch menù available on Sunday. I had scrambled eggs with crispy bacon, pancakes, white yoghurt with granola and a black americano coffee. All perfect and very yummy+ Service 9: The staff is very organised and happy to support the customers. Our table was the most challenging one because of the kids. They were able to serve us in a perfect way always with smiles on their faces. You folks rock! Bill 6 ½: The price of the menu and the dishes is on average considering the area where the Vivi...

It was a warm day when I visited Vivi Bistrot. The atmosphere buzzed with energy, the decor authentically Italian, and the food was light and reasonably priced. I recommend this bistro to anyone wanting to feel immersed in the atmosphere & culture of the Romans.

The small restaurant is located on the grounds of the largest protected green space & landscaped Public Park which sits just outside the ancient city's limits. The pathways are flanked by GIANT TREES I had never seen before called Stone Pines (Umbrella Pines or Parasol Pines). There are fantastic views of Rome's skyline, moss covered fountains carved centuries ago dotted here & there along the pathways, and people relaxing, playing, & gathering.

I absolutely loved it and highly recommend a stroll through this storied park to visit...

I didn’t receive a resturant service, it’s was more of cafeteria.

They ASKED for a service fee, also known as a tip, which I normally give after receive the service, not before, and definitely not when asked, if you choose not to pay they’ll seat you in a table with backless chairs, literally five steps away for the couch, I tried to sit there without paying and they wouldn’t let it go.

The sandwich inside was cold even after heating it, I couldn’t bite the “homemade” scone as it was so dry, the pie and coffee were the only two things I could eat/ drink with no complains.

The place is located in a very beautiful area, I recommend you pack your food and coffee, come here without passing by...
