There are so many things to love about. Bovacci, I'd say first thing would be the service, but I really go for the delicious food. Pansotti, arancini with pistachios, chicken parmigiana, coconut shrimp, baked poltenta, butter lettuce salad, and on and on. Profiteroles for dessert are a must. No one makes a better pomegranate martini than Vivace.

We were looking for a date night spot for dinner and stumbled on this spot. They were able to seat us quickly even as a walk-in. The staff was super friendly and the food was not only good, but the portions were large! Great spot for a date. Be sure to also check out their wine list!

Went for our anniversary...started with muscles/sausage appetizer (unbelievable deliciousness) paired with a bottle of Tuscan wine (Tenuta Di Arceno) so perfect...main was a margarita pizza OMG goodness! We love Vivace!

Been here a few times and definitely like this charming restaurant. Their food is that Italian comfort food you crave in big American sized portions. Great wine and cocktail selection with my favorite dirty martini being extra dirty. The eggplant parmigiana is my go to and they execute it so well with that creamy tomato-y sauce. My only wish for this dish is a bit of pasta on the side to go with it, then it would be completely perfect. The bruschettas are great and worth ordering. Great bread too but you do have to order it extra (insert sad sound effect) which I feel goes against Italian restaurant laws or something. They have lava cake! Important info, believe me. Overall friendly service, though I do remember that on our first visit, I almost walked out because we had made a reservation but they still made us wait about 20 mins. There's no real sitting area to wait besides the bar which was packed so we were left with awkwardly standing at the entrance. I felt sympathetic with Larry David in that one episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm where he made a reservation for a rental car but they gave it away, or that time where he had an appointment at the doctor where they didn't honor the time. I also wanted to sputter out "but that's the whole point of make a reservation at a particular time". Thankfully I was able to keep in my hangryness and Larry David thoughts. I'm so glad we stuck around though, haven't had that occur again.

On a Friday night, we visited this location based on its positive reviews. We were served by an elderly gentleman who initially seemed quite stern and appeared upset, though he later gave us a smile. While he wasn't very warm or engaging, especially when it came to offering specials or checking on our meal, I understand that he's elderly, and I tried to be patient with him. Despite the service, the food was excellent, and everything we ordered was delicious. Our server did mention that the pizza was a personalized size, but when it arrived, it was much larger than expected--my dad could only finish two slices! I'd say the pizza is definitely shareable. The ambiance was great, and the place was buzzing with activity, which added to the overall experience.

First time trying Vivace and we really liked it. We made easy reservations on Open Table for a weeknight. Parking can be a little challenging but there is street parking and side street parking. We found the the hostess to be very nice as well as our server. We explained it was our first time visiting so I feel he gave us extra attention. We started with Calamari, flatbread and a Margarita Pizza as an appetizers for our group. The calamari was cooked excellent for our taste as well as the pizza. Everyone really enjoyed the entrees too. For dessert we tried the tiramisu and bread pudding. The one thing we really enjoyed about this place was the atmosphere. They also have a great bar area with a nice tv as well.

What can I say! I had never been here before and my cousin gave us an engagement party! The owner Michael completely took care of us! We originally had the smaller room, but he upgraded us to the larger room to accommodate more friends and family! It was absolutely beautiful! The staff was great, inside of the restaurant was beautiful, the food was amazing and the drinks were delicious! Every one of my guests commented on how good the food was and that they would be coming back soon! It was such a special night and Michael and his staff were gratefully appreciated! Here are some pictures of the night! So fun and will be coming back!

Came here for a team dinner and the food was great! We got burrata to share and I got a pasta off the specials menu. We got a bottle of wine to share as well. Service was good and the restaurant had that classic Italian restaurant vibe with the white table cloths. Would come again if I'm in the area!

Great restaurant in Belmont. The food is delicious and the service is excellent. Bookmark this for a future visit. Arrick was our outstanding waiter and was super attentive. See you again!
