Vivo Bistrò in Muralto

A very cozy atmosphere, extremely warm and courteous staff and excellent and authentic Italian food.

I had lunch here with some friends. Informal, refined environment. Very friendly and helpful staff. The fresh pasta they produce every day is truly excellent! You can feel the difference and the chef's hand is perfect for making you savor exquisite and delicious dishes. Even the other dishes, such as the appetizers, are no different. Excellent price quality. Highly recommended!

Amazing food (spaghetti Carbonara and ravioli with eggplant, super friendly waitress and cozy place. We're super happy we came today evening 🤗

Wonderful restaurant. Had an awesome meal here. Will happily come back - great food, wonderful service. A delight! Dog friendly too!

Very good dishes. Pleasant and professional service girl. Well furnished interior. Unfortunately the outside (where I ate) is next to a busy road. But I will definitely return!

Really good homemade pasta. Great insider tip.

Found everything delicious by chance 😋

The waitress is very nice!! The food was also very delicious😋 I recommend this restaurant to anyone!!!

Excellent food and service! Thanks also for welcoming Ellie😻 See you next time😃U&L

Hospitality is the top priority here! We couldn't stop raving: the food was an absolute delight! Heartily prepared and with an unmistakable taste. The service is super friendly, professional and very warm.

Incredible food, very kind and helpful staff. The atmosphere is inviting and you feel right at home. All our dishes were perfect and you felt the love in cooking them. Like every other review here no complaints and we will for sure come back!

Food was freshly prepared, beautifully presented and just as delicious. The service was courteous and friendly, and the atmosphere was cozy. Clear recommendation.

the perfect pasta 👍🏻 we will come back 😁

Very nice little restaurant with a great ambience. Food was fantastic, everything freshly prepared. The price is absolutely right and the staff is very accommodating. We work here with passion and a lot of heart and soul. It's definitely worth stopping by.

Vivo bistrot good experience, good culinary choices with a mix of good Campania and Ticino cuisine

We happened upon the Vivo Bistro via Google recommendations while driving past Brissago. Fortunately! Even though we were a little late, the service was very friendly, competent and accommodating. The two pastas we ordered tasted excellent. We are very happy that we found this restaurant, recommended it to others and will definitely come by again ourselves!

Very nice little restaurant with an exceptionally great offering (small but fine menu). The food was excellent for all of us, the staff was very friendly and all at a very good price. We would love to come back here!

Small restaurant with a not zero eight fifteen kitchen.

The place is wonderful, the food is excellent and is beyond delicious. The waitress was very friendly and helpful. A very huge bonus was that the tiramisu is alcohol free. Highly recommend the spot. Perfect.

Nice place and friendly staff. The menu is not too wide, and the food is excellent. Italian-Neapolitan cuisine I enjoyed it. Reasonable prices

Spectacular. A single word that summarizes the experience that every person has when entering Vivo Bistrò in Muralto, where their goal is the freshness of the products and the happiness of the customers. Fresh pasta is their strong point, handmade, with different possibilities of sauces and side dishes. There is certainly no shortage of seasonal starters and second courses. With the different proposals they are also able to satisfy customers with intolerances, vegetarian and even vegan diets (in any case it is better to ask beforehand, during the reservation to make sure that everything goes well). We return whenever we can because there is always something that attracts us, the spaghettone with red prawns and burrata, the aubergines, the prawns with citrus fruits, the lemon cake. Nothing is left to chance and Mario always manages to amaze his customers from his cuisine. Vivo Bistrò is now a fixed stop whenever you want something good, so I recommend anyone to stop for dinner at Mario's.

The food was perfect! Very good wine as well ;) The service was over the top !!! If you take out the noice from the road this restaurant is more than perfect for pasta 😃. Thank you !! Highly recommend!

The way pasta should be - wow! I had spaghettoni carbonara and melted like the guanciale for the carbonara. Come back next time in Locarno!

Have been here several times now, small, clear menu and everything very freshly homemade and seasonal and great service, actually an insider tip for Locarno.

Professionals at work in the kitchen and also very professional in service 👌🏻

Very delicious food and friendly service. We enjoyed our night there, will definetely come again.

Extremely friendly little restaurant with fine, lovingly prepared dishes at fair prices

Wonderful food, service, pure oasis of well-being! Thank you very much for addressing my intolerance to garlic and white onions Always happy the next time we stay in bello Ticino Thanks

From the starter to the dessert, the food was consistently delicious Super nice service Clear recommendation

The food was very tasty. The service is 1A. The tiramisu is homemade and should definitely be tried. All in all, I would give it more than 5*

I went with my partner and a couple of friends. We were all pleasantly surprised by the beautiful climate and above all by the good food. I recommend, really good, congratulations!

Relaxing and welcoming place, knowledgeable and kind staff. Mario the chef delighted us with excellent dishes. Super recommended place.

Very friendly service. The dinner tasted excellent. Small but nice menu. The restaurant is lovingly furnished. Gladly again.

If I could I would give it a ten! Cozy place, very attentive, friendly, smiling and knowledgeable staff. The proposed menu reflects the passion for cooking! The abundant and well-presented dishes, prepared fresh and with love! It's addictive!:)) Super recommended!

Highly recommended little bistro. The menu is small but nice. We ate there every evening during our vacation. The service was very friendly and you can tell that this bistro is run with a lot of passion. If we were to vacation in the area again we would eat there again in a heartbeat. Thanks again to the Vivo Bistrò team for the great time and nice hospitality.

Highly recommended. The service is amazing, she walked us through through every single item in the menu. The location was easy to find. Booking was so smooth, I booked for three people on Saturday via WhatsApp number. And they responded within minutes. We are ordered pasta, I had artichoke pasta and it was delicious. The prices are very reasonable. We would definitely come back again.

Everything you get is fabulous😁

Absolutely delicious!! And very friendly!

Very good food, friendly and accommodating service. Small, nice restaurant with fresh cuisine. It was really a pleasure

Wonderful, welcoming place, Mario and Jenny very helpful and kind!! One of the best restaurants in the Locarno area!! Delicious dishes... all top quality! Homemade pasta and pinsa were a winning choice :) I'm definitely a regular customer!

very very tasty pasta. courteous service.

We went here based on the reviews and weren't disappointed. Very friendly and helpful waitress who spoke English and helped us with the menu. We followed her recommendations for food and it was delicious. Well worth the walk up from the lakeside.

Seriously the best pasta ever. Fresh, fragrant and exciting as well as comforting at the same time. Had to order twice. 🥰

Best meal we had in our 4 day stay in Locarno! Truly an excellent and inventive restaurant with warm service and delicious wines. Will be back!

Excellent dinner, especially the tasty and well-seasoned first courses. The rest is also very good, friendly and helpful staff. The only flaw is the limited choice of wines.

Mario's homemade pasta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, highly recommended!

Defo deserves its high rating! The pasta were to die for, great ingredients, original but simple dishes. A real gem. Brava!

Don't waste your time and money in the restaurants by the lake. This one is offering a great cuisine reasonably priced. Fresh ingredients, either local or imported from Italy. The dishes are perfectly executed. Highly recommended

A very pleasant evening, we ate a delicious pasta all'amatriciana and a fresh and tasty veal with tuna sauce. Good presentation, atmosphere and wines. The terrace in the evening is enchanting and the guys were super helpful and kind.

We had a wonderful experience at Viva Bistrò! The food, the wine, the ambience and above-all, the service was top quality! Tutto bene! Grazie Mille 😊

Very an excellent restaurant with a fantastic welcoming service. I went there before one week with my husband and my daughter. The waiter help us in translation the menu and give us nice recommendations. She is very patient and helpful. The restaurant’s atmosphere was wonderful . The food was beyond excellent for me. They are very professional. Thank you so much.

Excellent experience, very good and refined dishes. Friendly and kind service. Well done, we'll see you soon.

Kindness and professionalism but above all a delicious Amatriciana and a spectacular Carbonara.

The best homemade pasta you can eat! I highly recommend getting the Roman pinsa as a starter.

Friendly, modern and very well run by its young and friendly owners. To be recommended.

Wonderful place, kind and attentive staff and excellent cuisine! Five stars are few!

A very pretty restaurant with top-notch service! The staff is friendly and happy to inform you about the allergens in the dishes. They offer gluten free dishes and also a gluten free dessert which were both delicious. Grazie!

We are just thrilled. Very good quality of food, great service. We'll definitely come back. Heidi and Oliver

Great service and very good original dishes!

Absolutely the best pasta in Switzerland, authentic italian flavors with a special touch, also delicious apetizers and mains! great wines and fabulous service!

Where to eat Ticinesi...very friendly and attentive service. The kitchen is super fresh and modern, interpreted in a straight line. Will definitely come back. Best Küngeli I have ever eaten. Ottimi, kitchen and service. Siamo status accolti with tanta gentilezza e professionslità. Grace. Ritorniamo di sicuro.

Excellent food, very helpful and kind staff

Top food and friendliness of the owners, everything delicious from the first courses with handmade pasta to the delicious desserts! Congratulations indeed, I would happily return also for the very welcoming location

Very nice place, ideal for an evening for two rather than an evening with friends.

Exceptional, unrivaled catering.... Excellent management, excellent staff, tasty cuisine and a very welcoming environment. Highly recommended!!!!!

First of all I would like to thank the delightful welcome of the staff, which makes this place absolutely hospitable and familiar. The dishes offered are truly unique, particular and of great quality! Excellent work by the chef!!!❤️

What was missing in the Locarno area, a small inn where the cuisine is spectacular, full of excellent products, processed and cared for with particular attention by the chef. The menu is seasonal and respectful of the territory, the service is very careful and attentive, managing to make you feel at home with small gestures. Suitable for all dietary needs, as they are always ready, even without warning, to prepare delicious dishes for vegans, vegetarians, ... To enjoy good, traditional cuisine, revisited in a modern key, this is the perfect place

Beautiful location, amazing food and knowledgeable and friendly staff. Absolutely to return.

An authentic pearl in the Locarno area. Located in an area slightly away from Muralto, it has absolutely nothing to envy of the restaurants on the lakefront. Here you can enjoy excellent fresh homemade pasta (for example the best Carbonara I have ever eaten) and many other delicious dishes. The desserts are also excellent. The managers are very friendly and motivated to make the experience in their restaurant pleasant. Definitely worth a try.

We went to Vivo Bistrot for a romantic evening; pleasant atmosphere, friendly and knowledgeable staff. We let the chef advise us and we were able to taste both the excellent appetizers and the pasta made by him: all very good. The most surprising thing is the delicate and harmonious combination of seasonal and local ingredients. We can't wait to go back! Good guys!

Wonderful, welcoming and familiar place. Qualified and always available staff. Delicious cuisine, top quality food processed by expert hands. The experience is guaranteed, especially if you decide to taste a fabulous dish of exceptional homemade fresh pasta. A fixed stop if you are in Locarno or in the surrounding area. I will certainly and very willingly return to VIVO BISTRÒ, with dear Mario and Jenny.
