Vivace is a visually pleasing place to go for an upscale or moderately priced meal. There are pasta and entree options priced in the teens to 20s. The pizza is a little bit more affordable and would be great enjoyed in their outdoor spaces on a nice afternoon. \n\nThe space is my favorite part. Lots of nice things to look at - modern wood paneling, big orange chandeliers, high ceilings and more. The outdoor spaces are pretty lux and streamlined as well.\n\nThe food was good. I got a chance to try the calamari, which was served in a large portion with sauteed red pepper slices and the gnocchi with shrimp (rich and delicious!). The melon and prosciutto salad was excellent. For entree I got the chili capellini and lump crab. It was a little spicy and was good, but I wasn't amazed and thought it was outshined by the gnocchi I started with. I preferred my friend's sweet corn and potato agnolotti with smoked chicken. I thought it was interesting that they stuffed the pasta with the sweet corn.\n\nService was pretty good. Our waitress was helpful and friendly and great at keeping our drinks refilled. The entrees took a while to come out, which was strange since the place wasn't that crowded.
