Vivo Restaurant Review
Although our new sommelier friend was loud and crass and drunk, ruined a (gross pashing) couples date, broke a glass and ended up being politely told by his friend/the owner (Blair – so lovely despite our rudeness) that it was time to leave, his wine choosing ability was not impaired. I have neither the interest or money to need to remember what we drank but I can tell you it was two whites and a red that were fucking amazing, and I’m quite glad I don’t know how much they cost or I’d be feeling more than a bit guilty.
For the sometimes wine drinker like myself who can’t tell one amazing wine from another it wasn’t so much the wine I was interested in. I didn’t realise I was there for the food either, until I tried it. And boy oh boy, did I try it. Like sex on a plate the antipasti platter was some of the best food I have tasted in my whole life. I am kicking myself for being oblivious to the delights of Vivo until now, labelling it as a wine bar I wouldn’t be interested in when really the perfect food and comfy but flashy booths are everything I have been looking for.
I know where I’ll be taking my next out of town guest!
Vivo Enoteca Cucina, 19 Edward St, Wellington

Wow, that pictures looks really snazzy!
Wine bars seem kind of interesting. I know of one in my town that I’d like to eventually check out. You know, once I scrounge up enough money. Eesh!
I totally stole the picture from their website BTW. But yea, it’s a really nice looking place!
The wine here I’m sure was expensive for the good stuff, just like anywhere. But the food was totally reasonable. $40 for a big platter for two. $26 mains etc. Not really cheap, but pretty good for a flash place with the best for ever!
I think I know where that place is. Pole studio on top? I used to do pole… Now I’m curious about Vivo :-D sounds delish x
Not sure about the pole studio. It’s down Edward St, in that sort of mall bit across the road from McDs on Manners. The same street as The Watusi (was Tupelo) and Old Studio 9.
Mmm wine…
