Wonderful meal at Vivace again. Service was much better this time. Nicely decorated for holidays

Vivace Belmont is easily one of the best neighborhood gems on the Peninsula. The food is consistently excellent, the pastas are beautifully done, and the service is warm without being intrusive. The team makes you feel like a regular from the moment you walk in. Whether it's a casual dinner or a special night out, Vivace delivers every single time. Highly recommend.

Everything was perfect! The food was praised by all four of us. The service was excellent and the girls commented that our service provider was very handsome.

Vivace has always been a great restaurant that we love to go to for Italian cuisine.  we have never had any issues with the food or the wonderful service that everyone provides

We normally love vivace but something was off tonight. We sat for 20 minutes before our order was taken. My husband's pasta was not good. We were there for over 2 hours and had to rush through the birthday dessert so my daughter could get home to do her homework.

Eating out is a bit pricey these days, but, it always feels worth it at Vivace. They are always welcoming with wonderful service. Also, the food is always consistent. We've never had a bad meal. Quality of food is fantastic.

Fortunately my date & I arrived right at opening because the place filled up quickly, as befits a Belmont institution. The oso buoco was perfect and calamari steak appetizer was the most delicate I've had. I need to eat here more often

Went to Vivace for a Tuesday date night and was not disappointed. The food was delicious and we had a great server. The restaurant ambiance was great and had a mellow old school vibe. Will definitely go back!

What truly elevates Vivace is its genuinely warm and attentive service. The staff here operates with a level of synchronicity and passion that makes every guest feel special. Our server was knowledgeable about the entire menu. Plates were cleared promptly, water glasses were never empty, and every interaction was marked by professional courtesy and a delightful enthusiasm for the food they were serving. This isn't just good service; it's the kind of service that defines a premier dining establishment. The food at Vivace is nothing short of spectacular. It's clear that the kitchen sources only the freshest, highest-quality ingredients, and their preparation reflects masterful technique. We savored every bite—from the rich, perfectly balanced appetizer to the main course, which was cooked to absolute perfection. Whether you order a classic dish or one of their innovative specials, the flavors are clean, bold, and incredibly satisfying. The presentation is artful without being fussy, highlighting the inherent beauty of the ingredients themselves. Go to Vivace! In summary, Vivace manages to perfectly blend phenomenal food quality with a menu that offers great depth and variety, all wrapped in a blanket of truly exceptional service. It's rare to find a restaurant that nails every element so flawlessly.
Always a great place to have dinner and drinks. Food is consistently good. Staff is very friendly love Dana at the bar. It's our neighborhood go to restaurant for a great meal.

My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary. We both had the daily specials. He had the calamari & I had the  halibut. We split the  Caesar salad. Everything was fresh & delicious. Service was spot on!

Why I did not like this place even though it is highly rated, let me explain, even though the food is really delicious, the day I went I had to wait first for a table, then they take us to an area where they celebrate birthdays and the noise of the voices talking was extremely loud where I could not even hear the person next to me, then we had to wait approximately an hour for them to serve us, they bring us the drinks and we waited another 40 minutes if not more for them to take our order, even so we were still waiting for the food to be brought for approximately 40 more minutes bringing us the dishes in a different order and waiting to have the entire thing for everyone to start eating, anyway we never saw the waitress to ask if we needed anything, the service was fatal, the noise was extremely horrible and I left the place so stressed, the only thing that seemed very polite to me was the boy who came to apologize (thank you) and gave a coupon to my friends that I hope someday they both enjoy and do not go through that bad experience again, of everything else the place seemed beautiful to me, well kept and of presence.
