Vivo Italian Kitchen and Hot Dog Hall of Fame Opening Soon

Before the end of this month (June 2014), two new venues are scheduled to debut at Universal Orlando’s CityWalk as part of this year’s historic expansion to the entertainment complex. As you know, Menchie’s has officially opened and is located on the second floor promenade of CityWalk. This popular frozen yogurt shop provides guests a unique and fun frozen yogurt experience with an expansive, self-serve toppings bar that is guaranteed to make guests smile.

Hot Dog Hall of Fame and VIVO Italian Kitchen will soon join the CityWalk line-up. Hot Dog Hall of Fame, located across from Antojitos Authentic Mexican Food on the second level of CityWalk, will feature iconic hot dog creations from ball parks and cities from around America. 

Universal exclusively partnered with Steven Schussler, the global culinary concept creator behind the popular Rainforest Cafe, to bring his Hot Dog Hall of Fame concept to CityWalk. 

Located on the ground floor next to Red Oven Pizza Bakery, VIVO Italian Kitchen will immerse guests in the essence of modern Italian cuisine. This original concept restaurant will showcase a contemporary dining atmosphere, allowing guests to watch chefs handcraft pasta from scratch and create classic Italian dishes with a modern twist. 

Menchie’s, Hot Dog Hall of Fame, and VIVO Italian Kitchen join Red Oven Pizza Bakery, Antojitos Authentic Mexican Food, Cold Stone Creamery, and Starbucks as the latest establishments to open as part of the expansion to Universal CityWalk. Other venues will open later this year.
