Specialties
Chef and Owner Dean Vivolo serves regional style Italian fare, inspired by his love of the culture and his family’s traditions.
History
Established in 2001.
It all began in 2001, when Dean discovered the small diner, and worked to refurbish it and make it his own. Trattoria Vivolo has a reputation of flavorful Italian recipes and a wine list with a myriad of selections from all regions of Italy. It has been a trademark of Harrison’s Halstead Avenue for over thirteen years. In the unique setting of an original 1940’s diner, complete with authentic chrome accents and retro bar stools, this surprisingly chic restaurant is classy and charming. Combined with the attentive and hospitable staff, it is an unforgettable place that brings loyal customers and admirers.
