    Our server Jessica was amazing. We enjoyed the atmosphere although it was a bit loud but it was also a busy night so that’s understandable. The food was good but not excellent so overall it was a bit overpriced for what we thought. I would go back to try a different menu item.

    The food, service, and ambiance are impeccable. People of all ages enjoying each other’s company ( almost no phones to be seen) in one of few white table cloth/no TVs restaurants left. It makes one realize how much has been lost in modern restaurants.

    This is a beautiful place we ate inside had a wonderful window table with beautiful mountain view. The patio looks perfect for fall or spring dining. We are Mesa residents and travel to Tucson to shop at the flea markets and fairs. Will defiantly be back to this restaurant veal piccata with the veggie pasta was fantastic loved the bread and pesto as well. The service was on point.

    We dined inside for lunch. We both had the mushroom shrimp salad which was wonderful. We have had it before & the chef went a bit heavier on the balsamic but is was still delightful. Our service was fantastic. As usual, Vivace proves itself an absolute winner.

    There's a reason it's hard to get reservations at Vivace -- it's one of the best restaurants in Tucson, and lots of people know it. Wonderful food at reasonable prices, excellent service, relaxed ambiance, a spectacular view of the city, and friendly people all around. It's a real treat!

    This was a gift from our girls. They gave us a gift certificate. It was amazing. We could see the whole valley from the windows. The food was so perfect. The coffee is wonderful. We are coffee people. Thank you for making our special day better and giving us just what we wanted. The spinach and cheese souffle was delightfully light and tasty. My husband had the pork. It was delicious too. We both had dessert. The creme brulee' with fresh fruit was superb. My husband had the tiramisu, which was huge. We didn't eat anything else after dinner. Thanks to my girls and to you.

    I always enjoy eating at Vivace for lunch. My go to dish now is the eggplant lasagna with the side salad. Two others in my party ordered that dish too. One ordered the manicotti, and the other person had a Caesar salad. Even though these dishes are great, I would like to see a few more vegetarian dishes on the menu—maybe a pasta dish with veggies or a gnocchi dish.

    We ate our dinner outside on the patio where it was nice & quiet & a beautiful fall evening. There were 4 of us & we couldn't have been happier with our service which was attentive without being overdone. Our food was beyond delicious. We started with one getting a spinach salad & another getting the pear salad, both of which we enjoyed. 2 of us had the Eggplant lasagne & would recommend it highly. It is just fabulous. Another had the salmon served over spinach & thought it was perfect & the 4th had the pork parmesan & said it was better than any veal parm he had ever had. We finished with a wonderful creme brulee. It was all perfection.
