    6 of us dined on a Thursday night. The place was packed but our reserved table was waiting for us. We shared appetizers, meatballs, eggplant and calamari that were all excellent. The eggplant was my favorite ! Several of us had the creamy risotto with peas, langastinos crispy pancetta bits and perfectly grilled shrimp perched on top. 2 got salmon which was cooked perfectly and served with beautiful yellow beats. 1 enjoyed the baby clam pasta dish. We all had coffees and despite the beautiful dessert menu we didn’t have room for a bite more. As a matter of fact we had leftovers!! Well done!

    Vivace is our special occasion place. It is expensive but the service is great, they have a good wine by the glass selection and 4 older women with very different tastes in wine and food can all find something they enjoy. If you’re looking for the latest trends in fine dining this may not be for you but if you want a carefully prepared dinner with top quality ingredients then Vivace is an exceptional choice.

    I tried to order the chicken salad but they were out of chicken at noon on a Monday. Very strange. The pasta dishes my dining companions ordered were great. I tried the arugula salad with salmon. The salmon was fine but the rest of the salad was boring.
