Restaurants near Peninsula Museum of Art

We had a late lunch on a Saturday afternoon in the outside dining space. Service was attentive, bread with dipping oil and balsamic to start while we checked out the menu. A great choice of Craft Cocktails, the Evil Eye was delicious, Ketel One Peach & Orange Blossom Vodka, Blue Curaçao, Passion Fruit Purée, Lemon Juice and Coconut Syrup. Tzatziki with pita and Crispy Olives were perfect starters before our main course. The Seafood Paella was enough to share with a butterflied lobster tail, prawns, salmon, scallops, mussels, chorizo, tomato, peas, clams in a saffron broth was a perfect combination. The courses were spaced perfectly. The Greek Cheesecake was a work of art served with berries. We look forward to returning with friends and family.

Three visits within the past year and have noted its consistency with high quality food and service. As a patron who has visited on and off since 2009 and perhaps even before, this is heartwarming to know. The clientele appears to be repeat customers and for good reason. Very enjoyable pasta courses and salads. It is tried and true but never disappoints. The overall vibe is casual yet feels upscale and elegant. It's a place to relax, enjoy, and open a bottle of wine.

I have been to Vivace a number of times but haven’t been back for quite awhile. This visit for our party of 4 was equally memorable as the previous times. We all thought our dinners were superb and the portions were generous. We thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered from the Bruschetta appetizer to the Cesare and Butter Lettuce salads to the Orecchiette Pasta, Eggplant Parmesan and Scaloppine di Vitello entrees and the Hazelnut Sundae and Tiramisu desserts were simply delicious. While the restaurant was full and rather noisy, we were fortunate to sit in a booth at the end of the room we were in, so the noise was abated. We look forward to our next visit in a much shorter period of time.

Great service as always. Incredibly delicious food! Truly the perfect dining experience!

Amazing from start to finish. Burrata and crudo were are favorite apps. Pizzas are all incredible. Reminds me of traveling through Italy. Finally a great spot without having to drive to the city!
