Private Dining Done Right

Whether it is a rehearsal dinner, brunch, small business meeting or celebration, Vivo’s private dining room is the ideal venue.

Our beautifully decorated private dining room sits adjacent to our award-winning Vivo Seasonal Trattoria. Your event will be serviced by our highly trained staff and your guests will be impressed with the selections prepared by our award-winning kitchen.

The Private Dining room can be combined to seat up to 56 guests for a dinner or hold up to 38 for meetings with audio-visual. The room can be divided further to accommodate 15 guests or 10 with audiovisual, for smaller meetings. For groups larger than 56 guests the entire restaurant may also be available for a private dining option.  For more information on how to secure these rooms for your function, as well as menu options and pricing, please contact our Sales Office at (860) 760-2361.
