When I started my hospitality career in the early "90's" at McCormick Hotel I was invited to the new Vivo Italian restaurant in the Randolph Street market area. This was the old fashioned produce neighborhood where I used to buy the most beautiful fresh fruits I ever saw that would adorn my home at Christmas time. I would carve out the huge red delicious apples and insert candles and give them away when my guest would leave. And as I arrived for my first visit to Vivo I thought, "what is happening here?" Now we know. The impact of this charming and beautiful dining home that made its mark on Randolph Street lead the way for the areas "welcome to the west end of town". Executive Chef, Vicente Duran, has been a part of Vivo since day one. Vicente believes that the best Italian food is straightforward and true to its roots. There are no tricks here at Vivo, just honest-to-goodness Italian food served in a chic setting. the environment The room is absolutely amazing with stacks of wine bottles making an elegant twist to the exposed brick walls and rustic wood floors. Exposed beams, soft lighting, and whimsical floral arrangements take the edge off the enormous amount of business diners that frequent Vivo. Vivo is the number one place to take that someone special. The tables along the wall of wine are sought after, but it would be a tragedy to Vivo if we did not mention the table in the converted elevator shaft. The table where Michael Jordan, Oprah, and practically everyone that makes a reservation wants to sit, is perched above the rest of the dining room with its own private velvet curtains. It is always booked a month in advance and is the one table in the windy city that actually can be booked years in advance. |
