Vivace never disappoints. Their service, atmosphere, and food are always exceptional. No surprise it is always busy and especially at holiday time the tables are full of groups celebrating the season. Tucson is fortunate ate to have such a long term special restaurant.

Consistently excellent food and service. Today's special, PEI mussels, were some of the best that I have ever had, even compared to those that I enjoyed while working in Canada. The salads that accompanied my husband's pork parmesan and our friend's eggplant lasagna were garden fresh, as always, dressed in a light and tasty vinegarette. The tiramisu is classic and wonderful, more than enough for sharing. Best cappuccino in Tucson. Our friend who was celebrating her birthday received a complimentary Creme Brulee that she said was marvelous. The freshly baked complimentary bread is so good that it is hard to stop eating and spoiling your appetite for the main course. The wine selection is also notable. We shared a bottle of Barbera that was aromatically fruity and dry to the taste. Need I say more?

It’s been a while since we have been to Vivace. (5 months). Vivace truly stands way above surrounding Restaurants. Everyone is just a joy that works there. Everyone is professional hardworking people. The service is amazing. Everyone seems to know what they are doing and the expectations the Restaurant wants from them. Very well trained. The food is AMAzing. I was telling my husband tonight Vivace is consistent. Service is top notch. The food is top-notch. Everything is priced reasonable for what you’re ordering It’s such a pleasure to go to a restaurant where everybody is doing your job and watching the customer to have a good experience that just doesn’t happen anymore except at Vivace
