Cucina Vivo

This is an amazing restaurant located inside the The Star. Food was amazing and service was outstanding. Ernst was such a good host very attentive and knew everything about the menu. I suggest you try this place out it is located on the 2nd floor it is a hidden gem! You also must try the dessert, you will NOT be disappointed. The atmosphere and the vibe in this restaurant is so calm and relaxing. Thank you to all the staff at
vivo so much for a beautiful night.

A fantastic place to dine. Come here very regularly just for its specialty wood fired pizzas. Fabio the head chef and his colleague Vinny make the best pizzas in Gold Coast. We're vegetarian and Fabio makes unique special pizzas just for us. Fabio is a magician with some truly amazing combinations. Highly recommended.

The best Italian food in Qld. The team of Fabio and Vinny are magicians with their hand stretched pizzas. We come here once a month and it's always a pleasure. They make really special pizzas for us.

Fantastic Night.
Very accomodating staff and great food. Had a wonderful evening with friends and a special visit from the Pizza Chef, Fabio, whom explained the process of making the pizza dough and how he paired the ingredients, for his pizza creations.
My friends and I would definitely be back, especially for the pizza. Simply amazing.
Thank you to the staff and Fabio, for making our night memorable.

Really good food. Probably the best Italian I've ever had. Stumbled upon it too so we were lucky they could squeeze us in on a busy Wednesday night.

We ate here before a show. Service by Ernst was great as was the food. We did book ahead and got a low down table (rather than on a higher table with barstools). We both preferred the fettuccine boscaiola as it was lighter and not as rich. We were too full for dessert.

Excellent Italian food with nice ambience. The strachiatella, puffed pizza bread, and agnolotti were all amazing. Highly recommended.

Food was great ! Plus all staff were really friendly! Our special thanks to Vini and Fabio , they made us feels like we were in Italy , it was such a good night!

Great service, food, and atmosphere.

A couple of months ago friends and I went here for dinner. What more can I say other than the service was impeccable and the food was great. Our servers name was Carly and she was outstanding. We asked questions about the menu, what she would recommend and gave great advice. She made us feel welcome and like we had known her our entire lives. Highly recommend the arancini balls and freshly made pizzas. Food I will give a second go if it isn't great, but if service is terrible I will never go back. Will always return to Cucina Vivo.

My husband and I booked this restaurant for our Wedding Anniversary after it was recommended to us. We were very pleased we did. The food was delicious and full of flavour. One of our favourite dishes had to be the Veal Scallopini. The ambience of the restaurant was relaxing, quiet and just what we were hoping for our special night.

Olivia (from Brazil) was our host for the evening. She was so lovely, attentive and knew the menu very well. She arranged and surprised us with a special little anniversary dessert. Attention to detail was on point.

I loved the Veal, it was very soft and the sauce was delicious. The Nutella pizza was deliciousss and tiramisu was very good.. the atmosphere very nice too and the burrada was amazing.

Our second time dining here and the service has been impeccable, the food authentic and the atmosphere simply amazing! The wood fired pizza is an absolute must, truly authentic Italian pizza. Olivia took really great care of us and the special birthday surprise was a cherry on top! Great service is hard to come by these days, this has been simply marvellous.

Could not fault this place!! Atmosphere was great, service fantastic & food absolutely delicious! My daughter LOVES Italian, & she thought this was up there as one of the best she’s tried. We started with the focaccia Romana (simplistic yet perfect) followed by the Arancini (delicious crispy balls of goodness) Caprese salad (so fresh) & then for mains Fusilli bolognaise (requested fettuccine instead which they were more than happy to oblige) & Campanelle which we’re both absolutely devine! Unfortunately I was so full I couldn’t fit a dessert but my daughter tried the Tiramisu which she LOVED! Wait staff were friendly & attentive. Would highly recommend!

Had the $99 three course meal and unlimited prosecco deal today.
Great value for 2.5 hours with live entertainment.
The food was delicious, the service was outstanding and the glasses were always full.
Had a wonderful time and made new friends along the way.

Dined here during Christmas period and was fantastic. Great atmosphere, very nice setting and food was very tasty. Prices are a little more expensive but no more than other Italian places in Broadbeach. Definitely worth it as the staff are super friendly and attentive. Will definitely be back.

Couldn’t fault our experience. Fantastic meal, great service.

Cucina Vivo is probably one of the better upmarket establishments on the Gold Coast and has an incredible array of Italian inspired and authentic dishes. You can't pass up the pizzas here, Napoli style wood fired with a traditional approach to toppings. They are the perfect start to a fulfilling meal ahead. Main courses range from classics to modern interpretations or inspired dishes. I've never had a dish here that left me still feeling hungry or unsatisfied. Dessert wise, well, the traditional desserts are, of course, available and usually the perfect end to a well enjoyed dinner.

Mariana, our waitress was FANTASTIC!!! extremely helpful and gave us the best recommendations. Super friendly!!! We ordered the set menu and were soo full! We even had leftovers to take home. :) The panacotta was the perfect finish.

Restaurant manager gave us a nice seat with a view. Waitress is very nice and attentive. Gave us great recommendations. Atmosphere is a perfect place for a date or for families.

Meal was great!! Everything came at once and the mains tasted really amazing. Also appreciated the cannoli - it's really good portion wise as well.

Ps. Get the star membership to keep costs down ;)
