Vivere Italian

Ciao

Vivere Italian was founded by James & Louisa, driven by a shared love of Italian culture, hospitality, and honest food.

With 40 years of experience, our vision was simple: create a space that feels welcoming and effortless. Where guests can enjoy exceptional Italian cuisine and fresh seafood without pretence. A place where the atmosphere is warm, the wine flows easily, and every visit feels familiar, yet special.

From the menu to the mood, Vivere reflects their belief that the best meals are those enjoyed together.

Welcome to
Vivere Italian

At Vivere, food is more than something you eat — it’s something you experience.
Inspired by the simple philosophy of vivere — to live — James and Louisacreated Vivere as a place where people come together to share, slow down, and truly enjoy good food in good company.

We Serve premium, ocean-fresh seafood handpicked daily from the market.

Our menu is crafted by James, drawing on classic Italian techniques and quality ingredients, and evolves with the seasons to reflect what’s fresh and at its best. Each dish is prepared with care, respect for tradition, and a love for honest Italian cooking.
Out on the floor, Louisa is there to welcome and look after our guests, just as she would in her own home — warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in making every visit feel comfortable and special.

Whether you’re joining us for a relaxed midweek dinner or a long lunch with friends, Vivere is a place to savour the moment, feel at home, and enjoy Italian dining the way it was meant to be.
