Vivace Restaurant Review

Good place for a family dinner.Came here with my family and we enjoyed the food and service!Big thumps up

We came here once a week! Then we had a baby and now we have the food delivered from Vivachi. Still the best Italian, ever! Can't wait to bring the baby there!

Authentic and delicious food. Friendly and professional staff. The best on the peninsula!

Too dark in evenings. Cant read menus! Very limited parking. Small portions. Ritzy upscale dining.

The food is ok but not worth the price . I was surprised that we only had 3 small appetisers and it s $50 at the bar - no drinks even-! They were not even the main meal! Tsk tsk! I am not going back there ! I rather go to Towns in San Carlos !

Consistently great food and service! Can't miss with Vivace.

Awesome restaurant with friendly staff. Food is delicious and the cocktails and wine selection is great as well.

Good pasta better drinks. Really liked their pomegranate cocktail.

Really good service. Food pretty good. Authentic Italian.

Great food, and amazing cocktails.. ask for bartender Dana!

Great ambience and delicious food, served with love. Go there if you love Italian and you will appreciate your decision. Thank you Vivace.

Great atmosphere and service. The food is good, but for the price, it's so-so. The dessert was the best part by far.

We had my mom's 80th surprise party here with a party of 48. Arrick and team did a phenomenal job! The food, the atmosphere and service was fantastic. Nothing but compliments from our guests!

Very quaint and cozy place. Great food and service. Recommended!

Food is good, but not enough servers on Sunday night.

You can't go wrong with anything on the menu! Absolutely delicious food and great drinks!

This is one of my favorite restaurants and they have really done an amazing job during the shutdown. Every meal that I have ordered from them is phenomenal and one can order a delightful cocktail to be delivered pre-mixed in a chilled mason jar. GENIUS!

Service was great! Food was really good!
Wait was a little long, but luckily we made reservations in advance, but for being December 31st that was perfect.

Love this place! Food is always amazing, ambiance is great, staff is friendly!

Excellent food, good service, reasonable prices! Couldn't ask for anything more.

Lovely atmosphere, services decent but the food was just okay. I had an excellent side dish of beets but the main dish was black and flavor

Amazing! Every time I come here it exceeds my expectations!

We ordered the margherita pizza and black mussels via Uber Eats to enjoy with homemade arugula salad. This hit the spot! Tasty and flavorful, we want to try other dishes in the future.

I went there on new year Eve hoping to get a great dinner however the food was medicore. The service was great , our waitress was very nice but the food was not at all worth the money. I got ln lamb ragu fettucine, I felt the lamb was old coz I got stomach ache after eating it. My friend got ravoili, the sauce was oily instead of creamy and the whole dish was sweet. Won't be visiting again.

Excellent food and drinks. The wait was a bit long and the waiter seemed rushed due to the Friday evening crowd. We will go back again, not on a Friday night though.

Food was amazing, fabulous flavors with reasonable portions. Nice cozy environment and good wine list.

$26.00 for three tiny meatballs and some with 1/2 cup of. What a ripoff!

Tiniest little medallions of eggplant $22.00

The nerve of these people...

Never go there again!!!!!!

The food and service were amazing! There was a party of 60 in one of the back rooms but they made sure that we were served first and that we were comfortable. Definitely want to go again soon. That focaccia bread was delicious!

You have to try the Arancini and risotto here! Friendly staff too.

We finally found an amazing restaurant! The food was fabulous, the atmosphere was perfect and the service was the best we've ever seen here.Would definitely come back!

I don't think I've been in the when the owner, Mike, isn't there greeting and makes sure the place runs smoothly. The staff is great and the food is fantastic. Don't expect to find it dead on a Friday or Saturday night, but we always seem to find a table or a spot at the bar fairly shortly. Try the place, I'm highly doubtful you'll dislike it.

The food is consistently fresh and delicious, cashiers hands out excellent customer service. I like how neat it is and atmosphere. Will come back again.

A small and intimate place, good Italian food with a few surprises! The staff is attentive and friendly and the place is quite cozy. True thin crust pizzas are my favorite - try the Diavolo! There is secret parking just east of Vivace - a small public lot by the ballpark.

The most upscale restaurant in Belmont. Great food and drinks.

Always a great time Good good, atmoshpere, people and syaff

This restaurant is a favorite of mine really really highly recommend it the owner is fabulous the wait staff is wonderful and the food is excellent

Good food but the wait was a bit too long. Would not recommend casual attire. I had the lamb, it was good. Wife had the seafood pasta special and loved it. Friendly staff. Would go back.

Very solid meal. Good sized portions for the prices, and friendly and attentive service. Would definitely recommend and plan to return.

Amazing food, wonderful staff and Mike the owner friendly engaging with his customers.

Great meeting place for a great bottle of wine and appetizers!

What an absolute amazing experience at Vivace Ristorante! Arrick, the event coordinator was flawless! Arrick, thank you for your help from the outset with all the many choices, suggestions, guidance and coordinating the many details that went into creating such a wonderful Baby Shower gathering. Everything was perfect!
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone for the fantastic service, the comfortable venue, the outstanding food, service, advice and help I received prior to and on the day of my daughter s Baby Shower. Many guests who reside in San Francisco were delighted to find a restaurant that exists outside of The City.
The private room was perfect. The service was impeccable. The staff went out of their way to make everyone feel welcome. The attention to detail and your great communication skills made this a day to remember. This was in no small way due to the efforts of you and the entire staff.
Thank you again for making the day so wonderful. I felt like I just showed up and everyone took care of each detail. It was all just so perfect!

Convenient place in Belmont with very friendly service and delicious food.

Our neighborhood secret treasure. Great menu, consistency, delicious and a very good wine list.

Had the prawn and kale salad. Vinaigrette was light and refreshing, prawns were cooked perfectly and seasoned as you d expect...great lunch meal that was filling and light at the same time.

Great food, wonderful atmosphere, and this place is busy!

I've been going here for over 25 years. Always a pleasant setting and service. Food, Wine/Cocktails, Deserts - are all excellent. When other Italian restaurants drop their quality - Vivace has always remained top-notch.

Superb service! Food sumptuous, we had the seafood pasta. The ambiance of the place is festive, and friendly. Was highly recommended by friends. Definitely, a go to place.

Outstanding service and wonderful food! The Eggplant parmigiana is the best!!!

If you have dietary restrictions don t go here. They don t do well if you ask for something special like a vegan option. At least my meal was not good - a pile of pasta with a very common tomato sauce.

Great scene, some of the best Italian food on the peninsula, and generous happy hour food and drink specials

Very nice ambiance. Good cocktails and great service. The appetizer was very well prepared. Will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu.

Great Italian restaurant and bar, in Belmont. Very personal host, able to make you feel at home.

Excellent service and food. Disappointed in the "by the glass" selection of Chardonnay wines

My all time favorite restaurant in Belmont. Never disappointed with the food, friendly staff and owner. They just remodeled the bar.

Our family birthday celebrations were handled by a very able , considerate , prompt staff and manager. We all had different dinners and everyone was pleased !

Good location, but parking can be a problem if you have a lot

Good business brings in too many customers it can not cope with. Pretty noisy and crowded. Yet my friends and I found the dishes are just mediocre.

Food here was great and the service impeccable at reasonable prices. The lasagne, scallop risotto, osso busco and desserts were all excellent!

Great food and nice atmosphere. Nice little neighborhood restaurant with a fun wait staff. Recommend it highly!!! Not cheap, but worth it!!!! Coach Bob, Belmont Blast !!!!

Manicotti was very good and the service was pleasant and prompt. Definitely going back!

The steak I had is very tender and the service is good.

Great atmosphere, delicious food. Perfect for business lunches with clients

This restaurant is my first choice restaurant. Of all restaurants I know I love it most. I never miss an opportunity to go to this restaurant. Whenever I want to go to a decent dinner, this is the place that comes right away to my mind. best and food and a large list of dishes.helpful crew, and good spirit. In addition to that, the cost is reasonable. I suggest this restaurant with no hesitation.

Good food and great service. A place for repeat visits.

Nice cozy restaurant with excellent decor. Wine selection is pretty good and vegetarian pizza was awesome too. I will definitely come back for more.

A bit noisy though on a Friday eve.
