As soon as you arrive you are met with friendly staff who are all too eager to make sure you have a lovely experience with them. Viva Vita left us satisfied with their overall attentive service and friendly disposition. The rustic vibes and fire place adds to the romance of the restaurant. A great date place. Parking is available with an attendant to keep watch over your vehicle. The food came out quickly and was 5/5 for deliciousness. Shout out to the Oxtail. It was superb.
They have a play area for kids with sand and a jungle gym, the food was delicious and the service was great, loved the big clay pizza oven
Perfect steak and hearty veggies, generous portions, reasonable prices and friendly staff. We will definitely visit again. Thank you so much! 🍀
Beautiful venue, peaceful and very serene. We had chicken curry and it was superb. I enjoyed the pot which the curry was served in, very cute. Staff is friendly and also regularly checked up to see if all is still good.We visited again and once more I would like to add that the hospitality is awesome. The food was amazing! There is also a nice play area for kids. The fried calamari is a definite winner, if I quote my cousin, she said This is the best calamari I have ever had!
One of those truly rare gems! Really enjoyable and worth the wait to get a reservation. More than decent quality food and a wide variety, somewhat above average prices but through and through worth it. Service with a smile and owner managed / supervised (which definitely makes the positive difference!) Easily the best weve been to in the past couple of years. Well done to the owners.
Fabulous venue. Friendly staff. Excellent food.
The owner is not friendly at all, too busy entertaining his own guests instead of doing a walk about and greeting his clients to ensure everything is running smoothly. Guess we werent relevant
Good restaurant. Fine variety. Good seafood and Bulgarian dishes. Spacious. Napkins and table cloths a bit rundown and need replacement
A quiet gem. A place to go for some fine dinning but homey feel. Service was friendly and quick. Food was delicious. Small kids play area makes for a some nice mom and dad time
Nice quiet place, play area need some swings and more toys maybe... Nice sandpit.Good pizza, pizza needs to be cooked a bit longer but really good otherwise.A little difficult to find
A beautiful layout making it feel clean and cosy, they have both male and female restrooms as well as a disabled restroom that is also usable for Mom and baby, friendliest staff Ive met in a long time and communication is great.The kids play area is at a bare minimum with a sand pit and a jingle gym, size big enough for 6 -10 kids to play comfortably....Great pizza, would like to try some of their other food which also looks amazing!
Owner run. Brillaint service and high quality food
Best restaurant in Centurion. Something completely different, Bulgarian food is delicious.
This was such a pleasant lunch and the service and ambience was superb!
Food is tasty but takes a bit of time to prepare
Good pizza. Very quiet
Great food, excellent service and ambience.
Great food and lovely cosy environment. Great family restaurant
Great Mothers Day experience, they were really busy but managed to attend to all their patrons and the food was Superb!!! Keep up the great Service!!
What amazing owners. This place has such a great family touch to it. Not too busy. The food is incredible. The prices are fair. The quality of service is delightful. We went for my moms birthday and she had an amazing time. They so accommodating as well to your needs. Treat them well, this restaurants deserves the support of our community!!!
Good restaurant and would certainly recommend them.
Nice place, the fireplace is a nice touch in winter
Nice family style restaurants. My children lovee the play area and the food is great.
Staff: beyond excellent, food: perfect!
What a sweet place!Cosy and personal, love it.
Mediocre food and service disguised behind elaborate furnishing and decor. The dishes lacked finesse (Springbok carpaccio without capers or side plates, anyone?) and the prices were eyebrow-raising. Still, they tried their best in a time where the COVID-19 pandemic is rife.
One of the best meals i have ever had
Good passionate people and a beautiful restaurant
Food is good service is brilliant
Good food and friendly service
Excellent food and service. Worth the high prices
Very nice, spacious restaurant with super friendly staff that do not come and bother you while you eat. The owner is around and keeps an eye. Food was good and portions generous, I had a Greek salad side order and it was BIG and delicious. Lots of different rooms and eating areas, indoors and out making it interesting. There is also a jungle gym for kids. Overall a nice place to visit.
Amazing pizza!
We have been here on numerous occasions and never been disappointed. Staff are great with a sense of humour. Owner on premises and very accommodating. The food has always been excellent and we have something different each time. We come here at least twice a month and live the atmosphere which is relaxed and quiet but very efficient. Thank you for a great experience
The best Italian restaurant in Gauteng of not on SA
Most amazing pizza.Be wary of the Mexicana, it has quite the bite!Awesome food, will be back soon!
Very enjoyable experience. The wood fired pizza is a must. Wide variety of dishes to choose from. We will be back.
Affordable food. Great place to shop
Excellent service, great food at an affordable price. Will definitely go back. Thanks
Really good food and service. Consistently.
Best:))

Beautiful restaurant with a great atmosphere. The food is delicious and the service is excellent!
Loved the experience!
Outstanding pizza decent topping and a melt in your mouth base. Truly among the best to be found in Centurion.
Family friendly. Great meal and homely. Their fireplace is the best thing since sliced bread
Great food, great service! Beautiful place
This place is an absolute gem. Discovered it by chance and had a great time with excellent food. I will certainly return soon.
Attended a 70th Birthday celebration there today. Awesome place, service and food. A definite must go to place.
Delicious food, great service, variety of wines available and good place for children too
Another fantastic meal at Viva Vita. I wish they would get more support from the area.
Wonderful restaurant! Best prawn Ive had in a long time. Good quality and tasty food. Friendly service.
Very lovely restaurant,waitress and manager so good.loved the food and customer service is out of this world🤗,loved the music while dining
Excellent Food, great personal service, waiter knows menu and dishes. Could answer all the questions. New owners. Only Restaurant ever where I had oxtail with ZERO fat whatsoever. Will definitely go back. Thank you for a great supper!! 👍🏼👍🏼
Very nice, cozy, refined-feeling Italian restaurant. Distinctly one-of-a-kind, in that you can tell there are no other locations as it would be impossible to replicate. It is somewhat well-hidden but a gem at that, with very good food.
New management makes all the difference!Much improved service and a full menu with unique offerings
Amazing atmosphere, and glutenfree pasta
Friendly staff and good food at affordable prices.
Great tasting, good quality food, cooked to soothe ones soul
New owner, great food. Best steaks weve eaten in a long time. Diverse menu, great dining room, quality service.
Stunning place...great food
Loved eating at this lovely restaurant. Went for a graduation dinner and just fit the fancy vibe so much. Food was amazing and the drinks werent crazy priced. Loved it a lot will definitely come back soon.
Fantastic Service, good Covid-19 measures in place. Good food!
Great food.
Best Italian restaurant in town.
Amazing food, excellent service and an awesome atmosphere ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Well done !!! This is way I always return. 🙏🙏🙏
Good food, kids play area
Only been here once, but loved it. Nice and quiet, indoors or outdoors. Friendly and very helpful staff!!
Underrated gem. Authentic Italian cuisine in Centurion! Lovely place to bring the family with safe parking and friendly service. They also do fantastic takeaways if you prefer to have your pizza at home. But Id recommend coming and an enjoying the homey ambiance.
Lovely Italian restaurant with great food and friendly service. Small but sufficient outside play area for the kids in a sand pit with a jungle gym. Be sure to make a booking over most weekends this is a very popular place. Their pizzas are delicious and so are their pastas. Good wine selection as well.
Great experience, the pizza was amazing and the staff and management were friendly and helpful. There is no area for smokers inside the restaurant and they can work a bit on their cocktail making as they were not that good as they should be. However overall a great experience.
Since the new owners took over I find the staff to be extremely rude, disinterested and unfriendly. Also they offer absolutely nothing for vegetarians or vegans anymore. Won’t be going back.
The food was crap because it had no flavour and tasted incredibly bland. I can make better pizza and pasta at home. The manager was really unfriendly. She didnt even greet us when we walked in. The waiters seemed on edge the whole time. The prices are ridiculous considering the meal you get is crappy. The only reason why Im giving them a 2 star is because our waiter really provided great service, he was really attentive. As the night continued the manager also kept staring at us almost in a sense to get us to leave. Ive been friendlier to people when my calendar fever struck. No provisions were made for the customers for their lack of water. I couldnt have a cup of coffee. Its not that unreasonable to expect them to provide water to flush a toilet or have some on hand to wash your hands. I love my coffee, I needed coffee. I would not eat there again.
A great eatery. The menu has got great dishes to cater for everyone. I had a mexicana pizza which was one of the best Ive ever had.
What an incredible and friendly atmosphere! Food and service was spectacular. Thank you for a lovely lunch!👍😊
Good food, good service, nice atmosphere.
Good selection on the menu and the food was quite delicious. Also not too long a wait (we were quite a large group).I noticed that there is a Bulgarian influence (from the new owners I gathered), with some traditional selections/variants to try from the menu.
Thank you very much for amazing food, service & personal attention from the owners. It was a special experience & will definitely return
I was really excited to hear that viva vita had reopened! Its a lovely and cozy place and Id always had a great time there before. Unfortunately we waited for over 45 minutes for our food even though the restaurant wasnt very busy, and when our meal finally did arrive, my Carbonara pasta was so bland the entire meal could have been boiled. Was really disappointing and probably wont go back any time soon.
We hosted a baby shower there. The setting and service from stuff was excellent.
Back to the best. Glad to see the new owners are putting in a massive effort. Food was fantastic
Viva Vita is back!! The food and service are great.The new owners are a friendly Bulgarian family that is given Viva Vita new life. We will certainly return.
A truly terrible experience. The list of complains far outweigh the positive qualities of this restaurant. The service was incredibly slow, we waited 1.5hours before our food even started to arrive. We came on Father’s Day a busy day to begin with but their card machines weren’t working so we had to specially go out to draw cash. Then when it came to ordering drinks they hardly had stock of anything. Certain items ordered listed on the menu were not available either. Then when the food did finally arrive the food was not as advertised...the 300gram steak definitely was nowhere near 300grams. The food wasn’t even warm when it did arrive! This restaurant is honestly beyond terrible and management really needs to look at making changes as a matter of urgency!
Great food and service
Had my 50th there. It was awesome. All the food on the set menu was exceptional. And the service was excellent.
This is such a warm cosy place. I took my girlfriend here for our first date and anniversary. Its very special to us. The food is great. The service is great. Its nice and intimate as well. Not extremely exclusive or anything but great nonetheless. I will definitely be back again...
The food and service were excellent.
