Vivace ensconces guests in a rustic and elegant atmosphere, where head chef Bobby Mekiney whips up a menu of luscious contemporary Italian fare. Generous diners can handpick a savory selection of shareable tapas, such as goat bread ($5.95), ham-wrapped dates ($8.95), and a rosy-cheeked roasted duck tart served in a toasted tart shell with marsala sauce and crispy leeks ($10.95). Meanwhile, the artisan-style pizzas—crafted with traditional Old World techniques—are anchored by fresh dough ($10.95–$16.95) that keeps chompers guessing with a crunchy exterior, chewy interior, a trivia question from 1926, and slow oven-roasted vegetables. Spring specials include a seared foie gras tapa ($17.95), as well as a fresh seafood cioppino ($28.95) and a bone-in berkshire pork chop ($26.95).
Bread-bound dishes include a selection of paninis served on ciabatta ($8.95–$9.95) and piadinis served on a grilled flat-bread wrap ($8.95–$10.95). Meanwhile, kids can dedicate their corner of the table to ordering dishes from the children's menu ($4.95–$5.95) and debating international playground etiquette. A familiar name on Wine Spectator Award of Excellence roster, Vivace possesses a staggering wine list with medium- and full-bodied whites and reds, as well as dessert wines, brandy and cognac concoctions, and specialty martinis served shaken, on the rocks, or in a pin-striped fedora.
