Great Italian food in this reborn restaurant of over 20 years. Although you are presented with a menu, the chef will prepare anything you desire. A great wine list and a fun experience. read more

Came here on a Sunday night. Randomly selected this place for a date night while we were walking on Bloor. We were definitely satisfied with the environment, atmosphere, service & food quality. I mean this spot hit every aspect we were looking for. We ordered the salumi board for the starter and we loved it. For the Mains we ordered the Rabbit & the Full Rack of Lamb. Both of these dishes were jaw dropping good even the mashed potatoes and veggies had a great taste. Once we ordered the food it did take a little while to come out, but definitely worth the wait as everything is made fresh to order. For dessert we ordered the creme brule and the sorbet & gelato. The dessert was amazing and I loved the smoothness of the creme brule and the creaminess of the sorbet and gelato. We will definitely be back. This place is a little pricey, but for a date night it was worth every penny. read more

A restaurant floating in the 90's. A loner in the city which has no equal. Quality service but the food did not match either the prices or the service level. I ordered mussels as an appetizer. They came with 2 tablespoons of broth. They were characterless with no taste. My main Branzini was overcooked and over buttered. I can see Vibo probably has a loyal clientele who enjoy the 90's era and that sure is culinary democracy. Suresh Chawla Toronto read more

We liked this place, but we waited for about 20 mins for our table to get ready, even though we had reservation. The service was great.

The short rib entree and the pasta marinara was absolutely delicious- highly recommend them. Fresh food, most of the pasta is made in house which is really nice. Portions are not pretentious at all. read more

Dinner at Vibo Restaurant. Having visited Vibo a few times in the past for dinner and never being disappointed with the food or service, my wife and I decided to hold our wedding rehearsal party there on December 30th. Vibo did not disappoint. We were a party of approximately 20 people. Our rehearsal dinner was during the Christmas holiday season, we expected service delays and attention from our server to be less than what we have come to expect from Vibo. However, this was not the case at all! We were pleasantly surprised. Luca and his staff were exceptional. They delighted both our guests and us with their prompt service and personal touch. All of us were very impressed with the food, the ambiance and the service. Our main server for the evening was Alain. He delivered as he always does; with promptness, attentiveness and a smile on his face. Alain is professional, courteous and extremely knowledgeable. We felt like we were in excellent hands. And we were! Thank you Vibo for a memorable evening. You are our new go-to place for the best Italian food in the city. read more

Vino is a wonderful place to have dinner. I would recommend trying the risotto. The staff is very friendly. The wine selection and atmosphere are very nice. read more

I ordered their bruschetta and fried calamari as an appetizer (opposed to many other options which were equally if not more appealing). They turned out to be absolutely phenomenal. I then ordered their lobster risotto which absolutely blew my mind. The server I had was so welcoming, and polite. I would definitely recommend this restaurant! Loved it read more

Came for lunch on a Friday. The service was amazing, had two servers and both were incredible assertive and friendly. Ordered the special which started white bean soup with kale - DELICIOUS. Our main was fettuccine with mushrooms rippini and beef. Very fairly priced and delicious. I don't have any complaints about this restaurant. It was very clean and had a beautiful atmosphere. I would come back anytime ! read more

Great food, great service and a great wine list. Vibo always has great specials and the kitchen never has a bad night. Lunch or dinner it is a great experience read more

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). read more

First class establishment with awesome ambiance and a piano player on a full grand piano. Fine dining at its best with impeccable service and wonderful hosts. The food is awesome, worth every penny. There are always great specials and a great wine selection. In an area with some other great dining choices. read more

Went here on a Saturday night date. The atmosphere was nice. It's romantic, cozy, had a live piano player. Our server was nice enough, but I am going to say I get a bit miffed when servers treat me and my boyfriend like we're too young to be in such a place. This isn't uncommon for our apparently young looking appearances, but we're 29 and 30, were dressed to the nines, and acting appropriately. Regarding the meal, they didn't have the wine we requested in stock, but were able to recommend a replacement that suited my tastes so that was good. The starter bread was not bad, crunchy outside, sort of dry inside. They provided oil and vinegar. We got the beef carpaccio as an appetizer, one of my favourite dishes, I've had many, and it was quite good, probably the hero of the evening. My main, though, left something to be desired. I got the penne a la vodka with pancetta. It had one, count it, one small cube of pancetta and it was cold when it came out. I probably wouldn't spend the money to come here again. read more

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. read more

I am a returning customer over and over again to Vibo, I have never had a bad meal here, the rack of lamb is my fav though! Mmmm If you like a great wine list Vibo is the place to be, and the waiters always make excellent suggestions to pair with the food you order. Service is great, the waiters treat you really special and even know us when we come in. Seems like its a good place to work because most of the waiters have been there for years and years! read more

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 read more

Vibo is fine dining. Every meal i have had there was hot, tasted fantastic and i've never had bad service there, although i have had a wierd server a couple of times that made inaproppriate jokes. the soup with gorganzola/leek is fantastic. i highly recommend it. the pastas are great. a few times that ive had the lamb it wasnt cooked exactly as i had ordered it, but overall this is one of my favourite restaurants in toronto and i reccomend it highly. If you go on a birthday they will sing happy birthday for you and the "big guy" is the loudest of all. Downsides- smarmy piano music in the back; patron volume can be very loud at times. read more

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. read more

Had a birthday party for my husband on Saturday night at Vibo. Only disappointment was that they weren't able to add a few last minute guests(I called the night before and could not have 2 people added) Everything besides that was wonderful! Food was fantastic but what always impresses me is great service especially for a group of 18. Our waiter was attentive, prompt and had a great sense of humour. Food portions were a bit on the small side but that might be because I ordered from the Winterlicious menu. Live piano music added to the liveliness of the evening. All our guests were happy and gave rave reviews. We will be back. read more

The ambiance and decor of this place is what I'm looking for in an Italian restaurant; intimate and romantic. The staff is super friendly and helpful, and the wine list was way more than I knew what to do with, but I would think a connoisseur would be impressed. I need to start doing these reviews closer to my visits to the restaurant so that I have a better memory of food specifics, but I do remember the food was excellent. I'll be back. read more

I've been coming to VIBO for years. The service and atmosphere can't be beat. Great selection of red wines. I always order the eggplant parmigiana. It comes out perfect every time! read more

We booked our company holiday lunch 3 weeks before for a staff of seven. Arrived at 12;40pm and by 2pm had not been served our meals. We spoke to the waiter who added insult by saying, the issue was we arrived late and it takes an hour to prepare the food!? After waiting for more than 90min., hungry and disappointed we had to leave asking them to deliver the food to our office. This took the shine right off our celebration. They showed no remorse and suggested the situation was not their fault. I will never dine at this poorly managed business and suggest you do the same. read more

Had a large group for dinner and we were not disappointed. The food and service was superb and the attention to detail by Peter and Chris, along with help from other waiters, ensured that every guest received their choice from the extensive menu in a friendly and timely manner. Highly recommend Vibo, be it for a table for two or as on this occasion for us, a much larger group. The quality and presentation of each meal was magnifico. read more

I spent my 65th birthday here...the meal was superb...the staff were courteous and most efficient... I would highly recommend dining at Vibo's..a very pleasurable experience...thank you Vibo's!! read more

Came here for dinner on Valentine's Day! Great service and extremely delicious food from the appetizers to dessert! Its one of the best Italian restaurants in Toronto that I know of! It's a hidden gem read more

It was the lady friend's birthday and she was feeling like eating Italian so we decided to try out Vibo and this restaurant turned out being the perfect atmosphere for a birthday date. It was our first time going to Vibo and I must say the service was top notch, starting from the polite gentleman at the door that led us to our table, to our meticulous waiter whom took great care of us making sure everything was exactly to our liking. What I really loved about Vibo was the atmosphere, I really liked how the restaurant was lit up with dimly warm colored lights and at each table there were candles, along with the grand piano playing in the background and the odd but intriguing decor made it a very pleasant experience. We started with the Crisp Fried Calamari which I really loved and recommend as an appetizer, the calamari was a lot thicker than I have had at other restaurants but surprisingly tender. For our main course we had the Linguine "alla Marinara" which had a lot of seafood on it, but for some reason my dish did not come with scallops as stated in the menu but my girlfriend's dish did, so I told our waiter about this and he apologized and came back with a plate that had two large scallops and some extra mussels and clams. When my girlfriend went to the washroom the waiter quickly came to me and confirmed her name and not long after she returned a Tiramisu in a glass with a single candle came out to surprise her. This was a very enjoyable experience and I definitely recommend it to those who want to have a great Italian dinner with the best service in a great warm atmosphere. read more

See all

What a great meal! This is my second dining experience here and each time was superb! Tonight I had the apple pecan salad with goat cheese to start. Perfectly tart apple slices with fresh greens and generous dollops of goat cheese-yum. My main course was the seared scallops and prawns. I couldn't go wrong choosing this dish. Tender, succulent scallops on a bed of sautéed spinach with some roasted potatoes and other perfectly cooked veggies. My dining companion had the calamari to start and the seafood linguini and he loved his choices as well. We both had dessert-chocolate molten cake for me and tiramisu for him. The tiramisu was deconstructed and appeared in a wine glass. I'm not sure if he loved it but I loved my cake with its fresh berries, premium vanilla ice cream and warm dark chocolate cake. It was the perfect end to a delicious meal. For wine I had the Italian Chardonnay (served by the glass) to start (lovely, crisp, slightly sweet ) and the Jester Shiraz to follow which was a delightful fruity full bodied Shiraz. read more

Honest to God, Vibo just might be worth what it costs to dine there. Beautiful restaurant, warm atmosphere, staff who treat you like family and know when to be available and when to disappear, and exquisite food. Last visit, we split an appetizer plate of their homemade gnocchi and had the rack of lamb and veal piccata entrees. All of it was literally 'melt in your mouth' perfect. I've never had a bad experience here and recommend it without reservation. read more

Great service, amazing food, we had starters, and our mains were delicious. I had pasta with tender beef strips, cream, shredded parmigiano, mouthwatering: Definitely will go back, highly recommend it. read more

Back for seconds! Just as wonderful and I like consistency with food and wine and good service. One time could be by chance, twice- now we are talking science. You won't be disappointed. Buon Appetito! read more

When I'm in the mood for Italian, Vibo comes to mind. My husband and I love coming here for dinner. Beautiful atmosphere, terrific food and meticulous and friendly service. We've never had a bad experience. My favourite dish is the veal piccata, it's so delicious. And if you still have room, order some dessert as they really are a treat. The crème brûlée is heaven. read more
