Vibrato is impossible on the piano. The closest you could come is with the growling effect using the damper pedal, but this can be risky.
Vibrato is a standard technique on the clavichord, where it is called Bebung. This is possible due to the direct mechanical connection to the tangents which strike the strings. This possibility was a casualty of the development of the piano's escapement mechanism.

On an acoustic piano, a sideways vibrato action on a key similar to what you'd use on a cello string has a subtle effect. It's nothing like a string vibrato, of course.
The hammer has left the strings by this time, and the very slight mechanical vibration of key is insignificant compared to the vibration of the soundboard and the strings. I'm wondering if this has been proven anywhere? I think you'd really need to shake the whole piano to have any effect at all
