The smell of roasted coffee, herbs and spices used for delicious meals, coupled with our original interior design, are the essence of this restaurant. One could say, it is the Italian kitchen lover's paradise. Our menu not only includes popular dishes, such as pizza or spaghetti. We also offer pasta prepared in many ways, wonderful salads and meats prepared according to Italian recipes. "Viva" is also our café and patisserie, where we brew the best coffee in town and prepare mouth-watering desserts. The restaurant is divided into 2 sections, one of which is in the restored original 19th century basement of the hotel. Our outdoor restaurant’s garden is open during the spring-summer season.
