For a pre anniversary dinner , I chose Vivace and glad I did.
Service was a little slow as was the kitchen but that made for a relaxed and enjoyable, romantic atmosphere. Our server Tim was friendly and courteous even if was a bit confused at times.
Many tempting choices on the menu but after conferring we opted to share a bottle of San Pelligrino ( I don’t drink and drive ) , the house salad ( home made Gorgonzola dressing was delicious!) and the Veal Picatta.
Fantastic...read full review

Vivace is a restaurant that provides a wonderful atmosphere for a meal, although it can become a bit loud at times. The food is consistently excellent, with standout dishes including the pasta Carbonara, eggplant Parmigiano, and the Veal Picatta. The fra diavolo is also highlighted as spicy and flavorful. While the wedge salad may be slightly dry and could use more dressing, the homemade Gorgonzola dressing remains a highlight. The warm, crusty Italian bread is tasty and keeps diners satisfied while waiting, though there have been instances of slow service when it comes to bread delivery. The German Riesling is a must-try, and the portions are large, offering great value. Although the kitchen can be slow, the service is generally excellent, with friendly staff who accommodate dietary restrictions and provide stellar service even when busy. The pasta and sauces taste homemade, with a beautiful texture. The building itself adds charm, featuring a warm, classic Italian vibe with a touch of old-world rustic flair. Overall, Vivace offers an elegant dining experience that feels perfect for both special occasions and casual family dinners.
