Viva - County Durham

We wanted to go to weatherspoons, but our thoughts changed after we smell the food from viva. we sat right away, but where we were put was too cold to enjoy our time there. I mentioned this on our server, who said no problem, we can move them we were redirected next to the fire and a heat sink. nothing was too much annoyed. the food we ordered came hot and perfectly boiled, we shared garlic mushrooms, bruchetta and potato skins for our appetizers, which were all tasty and good portion sizes. my yr old had a pepperoni pizza, my yr old had meatballs while my man had the maranara and I had the alfredo. everything was very pleasant and tasty, very well cooked and delicious. we will definitely visit again.

Love this place! never had a bad meal! her risotto is amazing and everything is always hot. great also worth when they go for the happy hour!

Holiday in toft hill and found this restaurant online. the waiter who served us was beautiful. started with garlic cheese brot this was thinking and crispy and tasty, my man had pfeffer filet steak, under I had filet stroganoff, best I have ever...had, not. one with rice, but with veg and new kartoffels. would definitely go back if it started.

Beautiful eating, huge portions, great service and more than the money worth. we never had a bad meal here, highly recommended!

Went out with a family of drinks where okay (but no fosters on tap), ordered our meal on a quiet Saturday night at turn over time was good, but forgot one of the starters, so had to eat that alone as everyone else...had finished before that starter arrived. Then the mains came, pizzas where good to be honest, but had the risotto which was wrong when it arrived so sent back to fix, they brought another dish out completely different and then once the correct dish came out it was disgusting! It was horrible chicken, loads of raw spring onions, and I found a piece of rubber in the dish. When I mentioned this, I got... aww sorry. This was it, nothing else just take the plate away. This is on my door step and truth be told, I would rather stay at home and cook myself if this was the experience I knew I was going to have. For me, it ruined our family night out together.
