Vivace - Belmont

Food is always excellent. Sometimes the service is a bit rushed but overall it's a wonderful place to dine!

Good food… Good service… But the noise level was too high

The lasagna was fantastic.

Beautiful room set up in the back. Great service by the staff. Audio/projector set up needs help...we’ve never been able to get that to work in the 5 years we’ve hosted our holiday luncheons. Otherwise we love the restaurant!

Really busy (that is good) but it was really loud and hard for the 6 of us to have any kind of conversation. Also, we were a table of six which didn't fit very well in the middle of the room. waiters had a difficult time getting around us. And they were busy so not very attentive. But overall, food is good. ok for a group.

Chocolate Lava cake was the BEST part of our dinner!
Cooked & prepared in perfection, soft & delicate cake with gooey chocolate flowing after the first bite, yummm.....
The mussels with sausage appetizer is a favorite; mussels were awesome!
Seafood squid ink pasta & red snapper entree were very good too.
It was a fantastic dinner.
All dishes were cooked perfectly! :-)

Service was prompt and attentive throughout the evening. Food was extraordinary. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

We had a party of 8, reduced to 7. The restaurant was busy so we waited for a while. However, the staff was very apologetic and actually comped us a few appetizers. The food was delicious, and the service was good. We had a great time, and definitely will go back again.

Red snapper - very good. Pork tenderloin with gargonzola sauce - dry and powdery textured meat.

One of our favorites!

Everything was so good and we were well taken care of.

Birthday. Food and service were excellent as always!

Haven’t been here for a while and remembered it as a very good Italian restaurant. The menu selection was substantial. The appetizers and salads were great. I ordered the tortellini entree and found the homemade pasta was too thick or too al dente. The other pasta dishes were delicious. Service was different. Our waiter was a bit presumptuous on the cocktail and desert orders. Service went from fine to far too rushed. We were still enjoying our appetizers when all the entrees were brought out. As the restaurant became more crowded it seems as if we were being rushed to finish so they could seat the next party.

Hands down one of the better dining experiences you will find on the peninsula! From the incredible food, top notch service, to upscale ambiance Vivace is one of my favorite restaurants for any occasion.

Vivace is always my go-to place whether for a night out with the girls, a nice family dinner or a romantic dinner with the hubby. Love everything about this place.

Checking out restaurant to hold my birthday party . Been here many times. Food consistently good...generous portions. Great attentive waiter.

Nice atmosphere. Our waiter gave us a wine list and asked me if I wanted something. The two guys had to ask for beer. He didn't ask the two non drinkers if they wanted a drink and that had to be requested when placing their order. Everyone liked their meal. I had the eggplant parmesan and wasn't crazy about it. It was kind of heavy and in a cream sauce and does not come with pasta or veggies. The special, risotto with shrimp was very good. The teriyaki skirt steak was also good. Felt like it was a little pricey for what you get.

The food is really good and the service is great. It was just too loud (it was a Saturday night). I would recommend going on a quieter night, maybe a weeknight. It was hard to hear each other talk.

Was there for a BD lunch. Food delicious and waiter very attentive. I was brought dessert with a candle. Thank You very much.
I have been to Vivace many times for dinner.

The food never disappoints. This is one restaurant where we continually return.

Vivace is a neighborhood favorite for us. The food is always excellent. It's comfortable and the service is terrific. This was our anniversary and they gave us a little extra attention, but they're always very good.

This is a good restaurant, but its food and service are both about 20-30 years behind the times. The interior is way too hot, the decor looks like it's from the 1970s, and the tables are far too close together. The food is generally good, but not great. The scallop risotto was just OK. The highlight was the cabernet ice cream - excellent! There are several other Italian restaurants in the area that are much better.

good food and good selection of wines.

Birthday lunch
I treat all my girlfriends to their birthday lunch at Vivace. Never disappoints!

This restaurant tends to be my go to restaurant as the food is always consistently delicious! We had a wonderful waitress who had a great personality and provided excellent service!

Not good service. Ravioli was chewy and had no taste. Noise level was too loud and to fix that the DJ started to play music even louder in the small place so that no one could enjoy a conversation.

Great food, great service, and the noise level is rarely to the point of making it difficult to hear someone.

The food was fresh and delicious and the service was very attentive.

My two friends ate three for their fist time and were very impressed
The lunch menu was varied enough with something for everyone
I have dined here before, and will continue to repeat

My go to restaurant on the Peninsula for bussiness and social occasions. The food is consistently great, the ambiance is nice and it has a great bar a very good wine list.

We had a group of seven that was able to carry on conversations. The noise level was acceptable. Service and food were excellent.

We have been longtime customers but this one time you were disappointed in the food preparation, under cooked pastas. The noise level was extremely annoying but service particularly bar service exceptional. We would still go back though .

Wonderful anniversary dinner. Food and ambiance are great for a date night!

We alaway enjoy our dinner there.
But a bit dissatisfied as they didn’t have Osso Buco, “ran out???”
I would like to think, that they don’t serve that Veal Osso Buco anymore :-(
The other night was not the first....
3rd time already, & we weren’t late, for the dish to run out? 🤔

Consistently great food, excellent service, and nice atmosphere.

My first time visiting Vivace and I was very impressed. The food and service were outstanding and I will go back soon

Always outstanding, we are fortunate to have this gem in our neighborhood. Great cocktails, service great, friendly staff, comfy booths, all the food is excellent!

Made a late evening dinner reservation at the last minute. The staff were accommodating when we asked to move to a different table due to the lighting. Personally the lighting was fine for dinner time and created a cozy ambiance. The food was great. We ordered several salads and pizza from the regular as well as the special menu. We felt a little rushed by the staff when ordering. But then again our party was undecided too. Will definitely go again.

This restaurant is one of my favorites

Wonderful server and food. The table near us was extremely loud!! Difficult to hear evaen the person next to me!! The food came out in waves, some of our party got served after others were already finished with their pizza!
