Eight Decades, One Kitchen
Vivio's has been serving Italian food in Indian River from the same historic log cabin for over eight decades. Some things shouldn't change.
The Log Cabin Dining Room
Log walls, a stone fireplace, checkered tablecloths, and mounted wildlife overhead. The cabin was built in 1938 and still looks the part.
From the Kitchen
Vivio's History
The main dining room was erected in 1938 and at that time the business was run by Fred Bradley. It was the Gypsy Tavern and advertised in the local paper as the House of Sandwiches. Fred Bradley died in 1939, and Minnie ran the business until it was acquired by Docker. Then Quick's bought it from Docker's, and Vivio's purchased it from Quick's. John and Theresa Vivio started the Italian cuisine and upon their sale of the restaurant to Middleton's in 1973, it has remained the same cuisine and atmosphere henceforth. We are still in the same building and proud of it!
What our guests are saying
Old fashioned charming log cabin with delicious Italian food. I personally love their pizzas, especially the Mediterranean. Their chicken cacciatore is fresh and flavorful.

Best Italian food around! Great service! Highly recommend their pizza and lasagna!

Food is good, staff is friendly and all the different animal mounts are interesting. Our family has been going here since I was a baby we love it.
