Lovely atmosphere indoors and outdoors – a nicely shaded patio in particular. Great date spot. The food arrives quickly and portions are sizable. Some dishes were wonderfully satisfying and others fell a bit short; we do not recommend the marsala.

Great ambiance and awesome service! It’s only a dinner place and they have both indoor and outdoor seating arrangements. You can have a cozy candle light dinner here. I had a mixed experience with food. Though undercooked Fettuccine was quite disappointing, I like their house bread and Calamari Fritti. A very friendly waitress was apologizing so many times since the Fettuccine was not satisfying. She offered a nice chunk of dark chocolate mousse cake as a token of apology as well.

If you like Italian, go here! Fresh ingredients, amazing atmosphere that welcomes one and all. They really take pride in what comes out on the plate. My pictures done do it justice, so go try for yourself. The food, the food, the food is so damn good! I got the filet, which came on a bed of risotto and some asparagus. I don’t even like risotto and I almost ordered seconds. It was so good, and creamy, and seasoned to perfection. The asparagus was cooked perfectly, with just a little “snap” when bitten. My wife had their house special pasta. Which has a Marsala style sauce that was very good. It was a little sweet, but it paired well with the sun-dried tomatoes and our wine. Highly suggest you try this place. Some were dressed up, but def not required.

Vivance has a great atmosphere and good food. We liked the food, but we really enjoyed their outdoorseating area. We had the Oreganata pasta and the Spaghetti Carbonara which were both good, but our favorite was their Cannoli for dessert.

So many yummy pasta and pizza choices among others. Wait staff very friendly. Our service this one night was delayed; thinking they may have been short- staffed on this particular evening. One of our favorite places for a casual dinner that does not disappoint!

One of the best outdoor spots in cville. Wish more like it. Such a fun spot to celebrate anniversary! Food is 6 out of 5 stars as always. Wine bottle took longer than apps to come out by a long while. Not first time that’s happened. Still would recommend to anyone who wants good food and reasonable pricing!! Was happy to see bill so cheap for what we got!! Server was awesome but as any restaurant these days got to understand they are spread far and few between. Still excellent experience.

A true rustic Italian experience. Vivace is a staple to my family as a celebratory experience. The food is amazing and true to its Italian heritage, homemade pastas, traditional ingredients and methods, and impressive portions. Vivace always is a great experience. Graduations, anniversaries, birthdays, good-byes, you name it: Vivace has been there for us to provide excellent food, warm atmosphere, and an hour in Italy. Mangiamo!

Delicious Italian food! The homemade bread always comes warm and soft. The happy hour specials are great. The atmosphere is a little dated, but cozy and not terribly pretentious. Be prepared to make friends if you sit at the bar! Nice, outgoing people.

Super cute patio and we were glad to get seated on a Saturday without a reservation. The place can hosts many tables and is very busy at the time. Our server tried her best and was very attentive; checking back with us every so often. She took our order promptly and was running all over the place.
