Vivacino blends New England roots with Italian heart, nestled in downtown North Andover. Named to reflect the lively spirit of Italian dining, where friends and family gather around the table to break bread, drink good wine, and be merry! Vivacino is a collaboration between long-time friends and industry veterans, Chef Nimesh Maharjan and Richard Bertin. We offer a seasonal menu highlighting ingredients from area farms and producers. Our bar boasts a spirited cocktail program that draws inspiration from both the kitchen and artisanal Italian ingredients. We also offer a thoughtfully curated wine list, showcasing great wine at affordable prices, and a selection of local craft beers. We here at Vivacino are big on having fun, dining out should be fun, after all, while maintaining a standard of excellence when it comes to the guest experience.

    All around this wasn’t a good experience. I should have known being there on a Saturday night at 6:30p when only 40% of the restaurant was full that this wouldn’t be a good option. Food had no flavor. Only one server and although she was pleasant, couldn’t keep up even with only 6 tables occupied.

    Food was really good. Service was slow but I think because too many people came at one time. Waitress was very pleasant but hard to find when we needed her. New owner was very visible and wanted to help out. Biggest issue was the noise level. There was a singer and he was much too loud for that space. We will definitely return because the food was so good.

    Recently changed ownership formerly Buono Bistro so menu quite a bit different and a little more money. Food was very good. Some classics not listed but can be made depending on what.

    We sctated with the calamari, the wee Luke warm and tasted like they were cooked in a microwave, ok but not very good. We then had a Caesar salad,, disappointing, they had no flavor. I had the carbonara for my main course, it was good but the sauce was a little thin My wife had the blackened tuna, it looked very appetizing cut was just ok.

    Food was not worth the price. I got the Buono land and sea, description of entree was not at all accurate. It had only 3 shrimp and the lobster was a joke. Maybe a total of ten pieces of lobster, each no bigger than a dime. The sauce was very bland tasted like it was just a can of diced tomatoes. My husband got the stuffed haddock, which was "wet" not moist. The couple sitting at the table beside us sent back their order twice. We will definitely not be returning.

    We are happy to see the wonderful changes that the new owners have already made. We noticed a substantial improvement with respect to the menu. The food is so much better now. Great choices and reasonable prices. The Chef (owner) comes into the dining room and introduces himself and is very interested in every person's dining experience. So unique and classy. Katia, our server always goes above and beyond to ensure that we have the ultimate dining experience every time we dine here. Looking forward to seeing all of the wonderful upgrades and experiences in the future.
