Really cute place, but pasta was a bit tough- for a place that appears to make its own pasta noodles that was surprising, and the chicken I had added to my pasta was frankly terrible- overcooked, and the focaccia was raw on the bottom- underproofed or underbaked. Wish the food was better because the restaurant was pretty.

The food was very salty from the table bread, salads, and main entrees. The service was quite slow but I believe that was due to them training additional staff. The ambience was beautiful.

I always enjoy coming here. The service is outstanding. The pasta is wonderful. Wine list is excellent. I love sitting in the back and watching what goes on in the kitchen. I would love it if they could add a large bar area where you could come and have great Italian wines by the glass and cicchetti like you find in some of the non-touristy squares in Venice or Apertivos like you'd find in Florence or Milan between 7 and 9 pm! In Italy Cicchetti and apertivo is a time-honored tradition-not to be rushed. Here , while they do serve some cicchetti, it's treated more like American pre-dinner cocktails rather than a leisurely affair all its own.

Since they opened, I have been a huge proponent of this place. Some of the best Italian around, but I had a wonderful filet mignon the other night. Perfect!

Vacanza is an amazing restaurant. First, you feel like family. They are so welcoming. The service is wonderful. The food is so delicious and unusual. Unusual in a good way because everything is house made from the huge, delicious croutons to the incredible pastas. Last night I had the Pappardelle Ripienne. A tasty sauce with eggplant, garlic confit, and hazelnut butter and pesto. It was wrapped in the pappardelle. So yummy. It was my birthday and they served me a complimentary tiramisu that was also house made and so tasty. This restaurant is definitely a neighborhood gem.
