Vivace

“- good food and vegetarian options available. - though an italian fare, the food didn’t feel as greasy or cheesy - which was good. - attentive and quick service. - nice ambience, but the tables are placed shoulder to shoulder and felt cramped. - almond flour orange cake was a bummer , as it was more chewy than expected.”

“Vivace was easy to find with the shopping district. All servers and hosts were very educated on all items of the menu and were able to answer questions on the spot without hesitation. The food took a little longer than expected after ordering but it was worth the wait. I wished they served bread like in any other Italian restaurant does instead of ordering as an appetizer. Other than this we had a good time.”

“Great dinner with friends at this Italian dinner. Food was delicious. We shared apps of meatballs, foccacia & roasted brussel sprouts. I had the Pappardelle Bolognese and it was perfect. Noodles tasted fresh & done right & the meat sauce was good. Some folks opted for the affogato for dessert. They said it was perfect. Took off one star because they had the music cranked so loud that people had to shout to be heard. Why do restaurants do that? It's annoying. Go for the food & ask them to turn it down. :-)”

“The caprese salad to start was delish. Bread has to be purchased vs. given to the table like many places do. My food came out cold (I did a combo of ravioli and meatballs). The meatballs tasted like they were taken out of the fridge and sat on my plate. My friends plates were also not hot... but we only asked to fix mine since they were cold cold. Our waiter/service was great! My plate returned piping hot as it should have the first time. It was good, not memorable. My friend also said her pizza was so hard the crust was hard to chew thru. I'm not eager to go back, but I would give them another chance if the occassion arose.”

“I’ve been a patron of Vivace for many years and generally enjoyed it in the past. However, something has changed. The quality of the food was disappointing and under seasoned. My husband had chicken, $30 for 3 thighs that were dry as hell without much flavor. I had the osso bucco and it was greasy and bland. We also ordered a pizza and couldn’t get past how dry the crust was. Seems like some of the heart is missing. The prices are high, ingredients aren’t in line with what you get, flavors are subpar and I don’t think we’ll be trying again.”
