This restaurant was an instant favorite of mine. From the moment you walk in the door you know that this is not your ordinary run of the mill Italian restaurant. The decor is modern and crisp and the staff greet you right away - a mere hint to the type of food experience that awaits.
Unlike everywhere else I have have had Italian food in Charlotte, you can order even the heaviest of items from the menu and you will find that they have somehow been transformed into lighter crisper/fresher dishes. The flavors may become more delicate and modern as a result of Vivace' take on Italian cuisine but you should know that nothing is lost in translation.
I have been to Vivace multiple times and I have always had a great experience all around. The service is snappy and the food is good.
