The Open View

For two star Italian, try Vivace in Tucson. This place is moderately priced. Know before you go: this place features great views. When you step inside the restaurant, you'll notice a romantic atmosphere. This restaurant features catering and fine wines. This place is good for groups. People who have eaten here found the food fabulous and incredible.

User Reviews of Vivace Restaurant

Extraordinary Experience

Vivace has consistently lived up to our expectations and surpassed them. The service is the best in Tucson, quiet, unobtrusive, but attentive. Ambience of restaurant is way above average for a relaxed lunch or leisurely dinner. We find the service is the same whether we are a large party ordering expensive items or a couple having a light lunch. The spinach souffle is beyond delicious and the accopanying salad is absolutely perfect. The Pork tenderloin is another winner but the Cibatta from La Brea bakery in LA, ordered frozen and baked on site served with olive oil, garlic and basil is so incredible that one almost wants to make a meal from this. Vivace hits all the right notes and we hope they continue for a very long time. Donna Rochester

3 of 5 stars. Took my boyfriend here for our anniversary a few years back, and I've gotta say, we haven't been back. Don't get me wrong, the service was wonderful, atmosphere was nice, and the food wasn't bad.

1 of 5 stars. Never understood how the "Italian" gets into the description. This vegetarian can only get one thing, the souffle (Which I believe is FRENCH) The service is always good, but the choices are limited.
