    Jordan was an amazing waitress. Very helpful, Very attentive and very sweet. We enjoyed our meal and I greatly appreciated her compensation on the dish I couldn’t eat. She’s a five star server and they should be proud to have her on staff.

    I have been to Vivace a number of times but haven’t been back for quite awhile. This visit for our party of 4 was equally memorable as the previous times. We all thought our dinners were superb and the portions were generous. We thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered from the Bruschetta appetizer to the Cesare and Butter Lettuce salads to the Orecchiette Pasta, Eggplant Parmesan and Scaloppine di Vitello entrees and the Hazelnut Sundae and Tiramisu desserts were simply delicious. While the restaurant was full and rather noisy, we were fortunate to sit in a booth at the end of the room we were in, so the noise was abated. We look forward to our next visit in a much shorter period of time.
