    We had a delicious dinner. We started off with the Beet and Arugula salad. The bolognaise and chicken parmesan were exceptional. Paired with chianti for a fabulous Italian meal. We finished up with Gelato to the smooth Jazz sounds of the saxophone. Wonderful evening! Vivace combines the best of a neighborhood restaurant with luxury dining. Our host Tommy always goes above and beyond to make our evening special. Vivace remains at the top of our restaurant list.

    This restaurant is fantastic. Great drinks from Tommy and the food is delicious. I had the lasagna and it may be the best I have ever had in a restaurant. Also the garlic knots are amazing!!! Les was our waiter and he was funny and super attentive. This place will absolutely go on the rotation. Really amazing!

    Pasta was fairly good — tasty but nothing special. Brussels sprouts were both soggy and undercooked. We couldn’t eat them. We mentioned this to our server but she just shrugged.

    Music was beautiful! Loved the musician's choices, but we were so close to music, it was difficult to hear each other. I would choose the back room in the future. The pasta/cauliflour dish was very tasty. My husbands chicken parm very good also, I did have to send mine back one time, as pasta was cold and cauliflour was warm. Had the lychee martini, very tasty. Would come back and sit elsewhere. Server was very attentive.

    > We had a very different experience than other diners. We visited Vivace because the chef is a native of our hometown, Pittsburgh PA & we wanted a Pittsburgh-quality meal: Appetizers, soup & entree. Instead, it was a disappointment from beginning to end. >We arrived at 4:15 pm because we had a 6:00 pm commitment nearby. A server acknowledged us, then disappeared. Another server seated us & we waited to place a drink order. > When my wine arrived, the server said my wife's cocktail would arrive soon. After about 10 minutes, "Tommy" delivered her cocktail & apologized for the delay. > Our server never returned. We had to flag another server to place our appetizer, soup & entree order. The soup arrived before our appetizers. While finishing our appetizers, another round of soup was delivered to our table. A third round of soup was delivered as we waited for our check. You can't make this stuff up. > Meanwhile, two young boys played on the ledge beside our booth. At one point, a woman approached us, apologized, and said she would comp a dessert. > At 5:15 pm we asked our server about the status of our entrees. She said she would check, but we asked to have them boxed to go and requested our check. We didn't mention the offer of a comped dessert. We'd had enough. > The wine & cocktail were excellent. The wedding soup - a Pittsburgh staple - was bland. The meatball appetizer, while tasty, was served warm, not hot. The garlic knots were dry, but swimming in garlic & oil, which the runner dripped all over the floor in front of our booth. (Kindly mopped up by Tommy.) The entrees? TBD; small portions saved for another day. > Disorganization was apparent throughout our visit. This was not a staffing issue. There were no more than 5 tables dining when we left, with at least 5 staff on hand, chatting at the back of the room. > Unfortunately, this was one of the most disappointing dining experiences we've experienced in South Florida.

    This was our first time and everything was delicious! Service was excellent as well, will definitely be back. If there was one thing I wish were different though, it was the volume/energy of the music. It was pretty loud, which was a little too stimulating for me as far as a dinner vibe goes (found it difficult to relax). There was a special event happening at the restaurant at the time, so maybe that could have been the reason for the music. Otherwise, great food, great service, great place, looking forward to trying again! :)
