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.

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. 🙂

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.

I’ve been to Vivace in Raleigh for both cocktail hour and dinner and every visit has been wonderful. The interior is stylish and perfect for a classy night out in North Hills. The drinks are great and the service is consistently impressive. Our server was so friendly and made the experience even better. It’s not pictured but for dinner I ordered the pappardelle bolognese and WOW.. easily one of the best I’ve had. Rich, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. I will definitely be back to try more of their menu.

My husband and I visited Vivace during our visit from Ohio and I can’t recommend this place enough. I can’t remember our servers name but he was a bald guy with glasses from New York and he made our visit amazing. He was attentive, accommodating, and pleasant. He gave great recommendations for food and drinks. I explained what type of drink I like and he pointed out a drink that I absolutely loved, and that’s rare for me. I got the scallops and risotto that was prepared just right and my husband had the lamb chops that were seasoned and grilled to perfection. We had calamari as an appetizer and I explained that I didn’t like the tentacles and he made sure we only had the rings. My husband and I truly enjoyed our visit here not only for the amazing food but the service as well.

the service was great. it was a little noisy. but the place was packed. the food was mostly good. I had the pan seared chicken thighs with the gnocchi and salad. the thighs were really good. perfectly seasoned and seared perfectly. did not care for gnocchi and salad was not very tasty. the dressing used was a too sweet for me.

there were 6 in our party. all the plates looked good and everyone said there meal was tasty.

if you go here you have to try the mango sorbet. absolutely delicious

My dining experience at Vivace was one of the most disappointing meals I’ve had at an Italian restaurant, especially given its pricing. The issues began immediately with cold, stale bread and unappetizing spreads—hardly an inviting start.

The ravioli were undercooked and bland, the crispy chicken was greasy and overcooked, and the gnocchi were rubbery and underseasoned. My steak ordered medium, arrived well-done, dry, and salty. Even the sides missed the mark—the caprese salad had unripe, mealy tomatoes, and the mushrooms tasted sour and cooked long time ago.

The cocktails were another letdown: watered-down, lacking flavor, and—most shockingly—garnished with brown, wilted mint that had clearly oxidized. If a restaurant can’t even manage fresh garnishes, it calls into question their attention to detail across the board.

For the prices charged, Vivace delivered an unacceptable level of quality. Between the poorly executed dishes, stale ingredients, and careless drink preparation, I cannot recommend this restaurant in its current state.

The Brussels sprouts were really delicious, nice portion for two people. I think it’s now one of our favs. Service was great & the ambiance was really nice and chill. The food portion was a little smaller than expected but the taste was great.
There’s plenty of free parking since there’s other businesses around. Our waiter was really knowledgeable and made sure we were well taken care of. We will definitely be returning!

First experience at Vivace. We went for lunch and enjoyed it very much. Pizza and pasta were delicious. The kitchen even agreed to make us a dinner item, the burrata, which was yummy! They have a very extensive wine list. I would highly recommend.
