One of Charlotte's best Italian restaurants, Vivace serves up great food in a fantastic setting at Midtown's Metropolitan. In the heat of the summer, the cool, modern interior beckons you to enjoy a light meal and a few drinks, while the patio's spectacular Uptown views invite you outside in cooler weather.
I've paid a few visits to Vivace after a long day at the office, and absolutely love their Pappardelle entree, as well as delicious Gnocchi and Lobster Ravioli. For an appetizer, you can't beat either their Calamari or Bruschetta. There's a full bar and some wonderful local craft beers, although none of them are served on tap.
So swing up to Midtown one evening for an outstanding Italian meal in a great setting -- Vivace won't disappoint.
