THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Vivo 53 Restaurant Review:

Residing on a busy corner in downtown Fort Worth, Vivo 53 is named for the number of times the owner tried mastering a perfect handmade pizza crust before eventually succeeding. The interior is accented with white ceramic tile and support beams, skillfully placed as dividers between tables. The pizza oven, which greets guests who walk in, dispenses a variety of pies, including the first-rate margherita, another with fried kale, or the popular egg-and-bacon pizza. Chef Graham Blackburn, who uses a proprietary crust made for his 'za, also offers his homemade Italian pastas (we recommend the signature pasta cremosa pentola), antipasti and salads. You can choose from appetizers like chicken liver bruschetta, burrata with roasted tomatoes and pesto, a charcuterie board, or bone marrow. A brunch menu proffers smoked salmon Benedict, fresh berry torta and french toast served with vanilla maple syrup and house-made honey butter. Dessert, whether it's during brunch, lunch or dinner, features fresh berries with cream or a homemade ice cream sandwich paired with cappuccino. Additionally, Vivo 53 boasts a selection of craft cocktails, including the Vivo 53 Bellini and the Cavaliere with tequila, prosecco and chocolate bitters. The restaurant also offers local Texas wines and craft beer options.
