Our evening at Vivace was 5*! This is our favorite restaurant in Tucson. Randy is the valet rockstar, always so kind and helpful. Bella was our first rate server. My husband had the seafood special and I tried a new pasta dish instead of staying with my usual stuffed chicken breast which is unsurpassed! The food is always delicious and the views and atmosphere are so romantic. Great date night place. Thanks for a lovely evening.

This was a beautiful place to have a celebration dinner. Our waitress was attentive but not hovering. Every dish was delicious and the servings were generous. The salad and dessert were enough to share. We will be back.

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?
