Alice NamFebruary 3, 2016Very interesting place... Depending on who gets in charge of the mic., your experience can turn out quite differently lol. Beer and tarts aren't so cheap. But i'd still recommend the berry tart tho
Amazing live music, great food and wonderful service! Try their desserts and local coffee.
ansje millerOctober 29, 2014Great mellow place for jazz to hang with friends. Sadly the service and food are lacking.
Elizabeth BursteinJanuary 22, 2018Great place for live music but the food is very meh. I had shrimp w saffron rice - too plain
Emilia AllonsoApril 28, 2015Nothing specially delicious on the food menu but the cozy and cool ambiance is very nice. Good to escape from the 'fancy not cool people overrated' manhattan rests
It’s never a good idea to be a cash-only place in the middle of the Village.
Magic moments. Oldest music cafe in the Village. Where i met people i never expected to meet. Kate Sland on Monday nights. Music every night. Woody Allen, Al Pacino, etc. were here. Read more
Charlotte EvansJuly 1, 2010Used to be such a great place. Not as fun as it was a couple of year ago but till a nice spot to hang out when you're in the Village for the evening.
FrancisJuly 30, 2015Great live music, but very bad value for money. The caprese salad is tiny, expensive and very low quality. Same for the rum and coke. Bruschetta seems ok'ish.- YouTube video about Caffe Vivaldi -
- Wrote blog of New York's longest surviving music cafe.
Come on Monday's for open mike night! Especially if Amy Vachal is playing:)

Every night, Caffe Vivaldi erupts into song. Talented musicans, fresh Italian fare and a cozy fireplace makes a great backdrop for music lovers to gather.

"So much fun! They have piano karaoke every night at 9pm in a cool retro designed lounge or you can sit in the front bar area and enjoy fancy cocktails and great food. Try the Sid Casesar kale salad!"
