After hearing so many great things, I finally made it to Vivace! Even with all the hype it did not disappoint! It is absolutely one of the best in Charlotte. You'll find a great atmosphere and delicious menu. Perfect for a date night, group dinner, or drinks and appetizers at the upstairs bar after work overlooking the Charlotte skyline.
For dinner I enjoyed the scallop risotto--amazing! And my friend was generous enough to let me taste the mussels--also incredible! Trust me that you will clean your plate, but don't deny yourself dessert. They are amazing! We ordered several desserts for the table to get a taste of each and in my opinion the best were the gelatos. They change their flavors but we had cinnamon, mint chocolate chip and nutella--so good! I'd say Vivace is the best Italian in Charlotte.
