Vivo Italian Kitchen - Universal CityWalk at Universal Orlando

CityWalk at Universal Orlando Resort is a shopping, dining and entertainment district filled with lots of delicious options for your dining pleasure.  Vivo Italian Kitchen is centrally located within it and is definitely one of our favorite options for dinner after a day at the Universal Orlando theme parks. The price points are reasonable, there's something for everyone on the menu, and the service is friendly. Once settled, you are brought fresh bread and olive oil.  Be careful not to fill up on this yumminess, as you'll want to save room for your entrees! We started our meal with some appetizers - calamari and mussels.  Both were fresh and delicious, with the classic crispy calamari being my personal favorite.  They also have an antipasto appetizer that we almost ordered that can be a great choice for non-seafood fans.  Calamari - $14  flash fried calamari, lemon-gar
