Review:

Vivace is an authentic Italian restaurant based with an elegant charm that serves traditional Italian cuisine in a historic farmhouse. Established in 1995 and serving the community delicious Italian cuisine ever since, the friendly bar and eatery feature comfortable indoor and outdoor seating with bright décor, sandstone statues, and European artifacts. The outdoor area boasts a tranquil, romantic feel surrounded by tall trees with fairy lights and flowering plants. The restaurant’s menu features a variety of Italian fare such as house-made pasta like clams oreganata, along with signature plates of oyster parmesan risotto and veal marsala. Italian wines by the glass or bottle are the perfect partner for the cuisine, while decadent desserts add a sweet note to the end of the meal. Vivace is open for dinner Monday through Sunday.
