My pizza was completely burned and when I call and ask for a refund the managers response was: Bring the pizza back and can’t do anything for you sorry. If I had ordered via DoorDash for sure they’ll refund my money back. Just lost a customer for lack of customers service.

Ordered from this restaurant last night. The bolognese was okay, but the chicken Milanese was shockingly bad. 2 very very tough chicken tenders (like leather tough) and a tiny little side salad for $26. Will never try them again.

The best Brussel sprouts I've tasted in a significant amount of time. They were crunchy and so compelling, we just couldn't resist them. For pasta lovers, Vivace is an excellent choice. Dishes like the chicken marsala and wild mushroom risotto have a delightful, intense flavor.

Very nice atmosphere, nice place for a drink. But the sit-down service has been bad the last 3 times we visited. Last night aside from the soup and glass of wine most items arrived wrong. First order was for skirt steak, 20 minutes late we were told it was not available, second choice same thing. Server didn't know the difference between veal parm and a veal chop. The server really had no clue what he was doing. He said he was new, however we had the same experience with him in May so not too new. Food was mediocre at best. Also the person making the pizza was not wearing gloves and constantly adjusting an earpiece inside his ear without washing his hands, that doesn't seem sanitary to me.

We came from the New York area. We were told this was a fantastic place and oh my goodness is it is. adorable ,very clean ,wonderful music ,and fantastic authentic Italian food. We had the honor to have Tommy take care of us. Tommy is actually the manager of Vivace, but they were so busy that he jumped in and took care of us. The service was incredible. He knows everything about the food and the customer service the hospitality like never seen before. We're looking forward to coming back the next time we are in south Florida .Thanks again for a wonderful experience.

Vivace in Plantation, Florida, is a culinary gem that we recently had the pleasure of discovering. Our takeout experience was nothing short of exceptional, thanks to the incredible service and mouthwatering food. We’ve ordered from Vivace a couple of times, but this was by far the best experience from start to finish. The highlight of our meal was undoubtedly the Diavolo pizza. It was a symphony of flavors with the perfect balance of heat and savoriness, topped with fresh ingredients and a delightful crust that was both crispy and chewy. It’s hands down one of the best pizzas we’ve had in a long time. What made our experience even more memorable was the outstanding service provided by Alyssa. She took our order with such warmth and professionalism, ensuring that every detail was perfect. Her friendly demeanor and genuine enthusiasm made us feel valued as customers. Alyssa went above and beyond to make our experience seamless and enjoyable, and it’s clear that she is an invaluable asset to Vivace. We cannot recommend Vivace enough, and we sincerely hope that Alyssa receives the recognition she truly deserves for her exceptional customer service. She is a shining example of what makes Vivace a standout dining destination in Plantation.

We talked with Tommy and Les throughout our dinner and they were both incredible- they had outstanding service and even greater personalities! They are both hilarious.

My husband took me to this place for my birthday dinner. This has to to be one of the BEST Italian restaurants I have been to in south Florida and the BEST in Broward county! We had the mozzarella triangles which was fresh and delicious in a bed of tomato sauce which was the winner of the whole meal for me. Best tomato sauce I’ve ever tasted! I ordered rigatoni bolognese for my entree and again the tomato sauce with the ground beef for me was another hit! This will now be my go to for Italian! 🔥🔥🔥 I apologize for not having photos!

Arrived 20 min early. A party had just left. Although we were invited in, we were then told after we asked if it was too early to order. We were told that the kitchen was prepping and pizza guy had yet to arrive. We were hungry and since it was not even an option to sit outside maybe, wait, order a drink...by then they would be open for dinner and we could have enjoyed a meal, we asked where else we could eat nearby..no definitive answer was offered, so we just walked over to Ella's. Not how we felt it should have been handled but....we are in South Florida where service is not always the establishments top priority.

Well, there’s no options for me to leave 6 stars so I’ll start here, this is what you’re in for: a warm welcome when you get there, a friendly atmosphere, and delicious, authentic Italian food at your table. The owners will likely visit to check and make sure everything is to your liking. They visited us and I saw them visit all tables surrounding us. They genuinely care which is rare to see in today’s restaurant industry. I’ve been here several times and whether at the bar or at a table, whether NY style pizza or homemade pasta dish; there’s really no going wrong. If you have the time and have never been, I highly recommend!

We experienced our first dining interlude at Vivace this past Saturday evening, and based on such positive first impression, we definitely plan to return soon. We had a party of 4 adults and 1 child. We had two appetizers, a bottle of fine Merlot and 4 adult servings and 1 child serving, and the overall cost pleasantly exceeded our expectations. My veal marsala was fabulous, and the meatball appetizer was incredible. My entire family all expressed a positive dining experience. The dining atmosphere and ambiance were so pleasant. Following the completion of our dinner, we transitioned over the restaurant bar lounge area and enjoyed a few adult libations while listening to the live entertainment, a saxophonist. Tommy, the bartender, provided superb service and, as a result, provided a very positive final impression as the night concluded. Tommy represented the Vivace brand exceptionally well. Tommy interfaced with the customers as if HE WAS THE OWNER! THANK YOU, Tommy!

I am a local and this is the 3rd different restaurant / bar in Plantation in the past few weeks where I’ve been told by the staff there’s no happy hour. I went on Sunday at 5 and I checked their website first. I asked the bar man what was included in happy hour and he said there is no happy hour on a Sunday. So either false advertising, or the owners are short sighted or the staff are afraid of less tips from half off drinks. Either way I’ll drive further to go to a different Italian next time. I would say local punters are important in a place like Plantation which is less touristy than say Fort Lauderdale.

OMG, because why are they SOOO GOOD. Literally, everything on the menu is amazing. Let's start with the ambiance. Before you enter the restaurant, you are greeted with a flood of greenery in an herb garden. Once inside, you have clean, comfortable seating and ambient light at each table. Now to the menu. Some of my favs are the Lobster Crab cakes. They have a unique arrangement of spices with a very unique coconut sauce. The bang bang shrimp and calamari are some of the best you will ever have. I'm conflicted between the bread and the garlic rolls as they are both amazing. All of the pasta dishes are perfectly cooked , not soggy, not hard, with an array of different , very flavorable sauces. The seafood is ridiculous. The fish has a nice crust on the outside but is super flaky and soft on the inside. And don't let me even start on the pizza. The dough on the regular pizza is amazing, but if you really want to treat, try their cauliflower pizza. They have a large assortment of amazing cocktails and martinis , along with perfectly baked desserts. From the service to the pricing to the clean environment, 5 stars all around. Hats off to the 👨‍🍳 he really has made a stellar menu. Highly recommend for Italian and Seafood dishes!!

Hi! The owners should be so embarrassed by the way we were treated at this restaurant. I went for a birthday this week with 11 people. Unfortunately, we had horrendous service. We never had a waiter come to our drinks, appetizers or meal without having to walk to the front of the restaurant to ask for service. If that was not bad enough, then they gave another table the outside celebratory dessert.

Pasta is quite overcooked and the chef uses more salt than the Dead Sea. We sent the lobster ravioli back and replaced it due to high salt content. The linguine and clams was very oily and ultra salty as well. My blood pressure was a bit high the next day. Last time going here.

As for the service - I asked for a cold adult beverage and they had just run out, instead of telling me they were out.... our server left the restaurant headed to a nearby store and purchased it, simply to "not disappoint a customer" Ordered, the eggplant Parmigiano, fra diavolo, chicken marsala all were absolutely excellent We will definitely be back

Recently went for the first time for dinner. To say we were impressed was an understatement. Top recommendations were the eggplant Parmesan and Chicken Romano. However the Fra Diavola was great as well as the Marsala. More than the food though, the service was incredible. Rafael, our server made sure he met every need and made great suggestions. I didn’t even take pictures because it was so good. Ambiance is nice and music was a great volume.

We stumbled upon this lovely restaurant when we were googling “calzone.” My husband had to have one. We arrive and both immediately felt like we knew our waiter in a past life. After questioning him we figured it out! He use to be a bartender at another restaurant we frequented in the past. What a small world. Tommy was amazing. He immediately had me with his personality, even before i made the connection. He’s the reason we will be back. Oh, and the food, Excellent! I had rigatoni bolognese and my husband had a calzone that could feed an army! It was much larger than expected. What a hidden gem in plantation!

The atmosphere of the restaurant is nice and welcoming. I was a bit disappointed with my birthday dinner. For the appetizer, we ordered calamari. I was shocked when it got to the table; the rings were so small that it was not worth it. I ordered the Branzino, my plate was not complete, missing the potatoes. I asked the food runner and the server, and they said they didn't know and would have to check. After a trip to the kitchen, they came back and said they would bring it out in a few, the potatoes made it to the table undercooked as well as the 2 inch asparagus. I ordered the crème brule for my birthday dessert, but they were out. I got the lava cake instead, which was overheated and melted—definitely not lava cake, more like chocolate pudding. We like to support our community by visiting restaurants around the area, but we feel discouraged about going back.

Post renovations, the atmosphere improved quite a bit. I think they also narrowed down some their menu into a more traditional italian restaurant while maintaining their pizzeria chops. Wife loves the vodka sauce here, I'm more impartial to a traditional bolognese.

Vivace was fantastic. The food was wonderful, atmosphere was superb - there was a saxophone player - on a weeknight no less, and the service was spot on! I had the pork shank special - braised pork shank on risotto - I died and went to food heaven. Everyone else in our party was extremely pleased with their dinner as well. My partner in crime had fennel sausage, mushrooms, in a sherry cream sauce over a large tube pasta - excellent. The bolognese and the Scottish Salmon were really well done. We were celebrating a couple of birthdays so our server had the saxophone player come play happy birthday while he served crème brûlée to the birthday boy and girl - how nice. We met the chef - Vito - who is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America - so he knows his way around the kitchen and is of Italian descent and worked in Italy (I think he still has family in Italy) so he knows good Italian food as well. BRAVO! Very well done - Go Eat - You’ll Thank Me

I found out Vivace had a bar last Friday and fell in love with the atmosphere. The younger bartender was very attentive and just fun to talk to. His drinks were amazing even though he’s only been bartending a couple of months. They have a live sax player on the weekend. Anyway I come in today and the pasta is completely different. I don’t know if it’s a different chef making it or maybe a bad batch but the Alfredo was just milky , completely liquid. Other than that the wings were great, just the right amount of flavor.

We tried this place for the first time on a Friday night. When we arrived the restaurant was full but there wasn't anybody waiting. As the first party in kine, it took just over 45 minutes for us to be seated....at a table which didn't accommodate our party at all but we took it because it was getting ridiculous at that point. After we were set it took around 20 minutes for us to receive menus and water. Granted it was busy, but how hard is it to see the party with menus in hand and have a couple glasses of water ready so as to not infuriate them anymore? Table bread finally came about 50 minutes after we sat down - about 30 minutes after we ordered- despite us being told when we sat down that fresh bread is on its way. From the time we ordered until the food came out we didn't see our waiter one time. Someone else brought the appetizers, which were absolutely flavorless and we couldn't seem to flag anyone down for condiments or anything else we needed. The entrees took around an hour 10 minutes to be served- only for two to be cold and undercooked. It's odd how the pastas are served as well, in a type of salad bowl you would expect in something like a cafe with salads for lunch - not a very expensive Italian dinner restaurant such as this! For the price here, dinner should definitely come with soup or salad as I know restaurants which are a lot more elegant / upscale, around the same price point or less, have more generous portions and come with such option. Trying to get the check and to go boxes for our leftovers was another exercise in futility. The ambiance is quite decent - it's a shame nothing else is in the realm of acceptability at this place.

I ordered a pizza and was pleasantly surprised that it was actually tasty. I’m from Chicago and most times find myself disappointed with the pizza in South Florida but this pizza was pretty good.

I've been eating here for about three years. My last visit will be my last visit. I normally order eggplant parmesean it was so tough I couldn't chew it. My son ordered linguine and claims which is usually delicious and it tasted rancid. We were offered a free cannoli. I took the cannoli, but I thought that offer was completely ridiculous. Since the remodel of the restaurant the food quality dropped significantly and the price is not justified.

I have gone once a week for a few months now and each entrée is delicious, the pizzas are good and the meatball appetizer was exceptionally wonderful. The desserts are delicious as well. They have just opened up a new cocktail lounge- very nicely decorated. An intimate atmosphere, but the way that it is arranged into three areas for eating and drinking, it is suitable for all kinds of occasions. Go, enjoy!

We were looking for a potato pizza with rosemary and olive oil and owner kindly offered to make it for us, even it’s not on his menu. Talking about exceptional customer service … Wooowww … Potato pizza was absolute hit and disappeared in a minutes. 😄 👍 Thank you so, soooo much.

Can't say enough great things about this restaurant. First impression: very easy to find, ample parking, beautiful decor and very well laid out restaurant. Staff is well dressed and extremely polite. Open concept to see pizza chef as he preps and makes the pies. Owners walk around to the tables and check on guests. We had several appetizers that we truly enjoyed. Bang bang shrimp, prosciutto and melon, Rocco's wings and they were all perfectly cooked. Presentation shows the chefs pride. The pizza ingredients were all top notch and the crust was thin which we love. Bombolini, key lime cheesecake, and caramel cheesecake was how we finished a perfect evening paired with homemade limoncello. We will be going back.

This is a wonderful neighborhood restaurant. Tonight our group had the Pittsburgh Pizza, chicken parm, beet arugula salad and pasta. All was delicious. The atmosphere was even better with the live jazz music playing in the background. We will definitely be back to enjoy drinks in the beautiful added bar area. The space looks so inviting to enjoy drinks with your significant other or with friends.

My friends and I celebrate each other's birthdays at various restaurants in Broward. Many of them in my group have eaten at Vivace when it was a smaller restaurant and loved it. We were there last night and they're in the process of expanding, the place looks really nice even though it's not finished yet. We started with fried calamari and garlic knots along with the free triangular breads that were absolutely delicious. Our main courses were chicken parmesan, pasta Bolognese and grilled salmon, everyone enjoyed their food, and sitting across from us were the Carolina Hurricanes hockey team. The general atmosphere was very festive and I would recommend this restaurant to anyone that's loves unpretentious Italian food. Our complementary bambolino's filled with cannoli cream were to die for.

Stick to the pizza if you’re going to go. It attempts to be fancy so we tried to go for the steak and wine. Wine was served warm and skirt steak was tough and flavorless. It was expensive for the place, but was poor quality. I guess that’s we get for ordering steak at an Italian place. We ended eating from our kid’s leftover food which was pretty good. I can’t make any excuses for serving wine warm. That’s just poor management and staff training. I hope they see this and fix their issues so others don’t waste their money.

This was AWFUL. I went for lunch and ordered a simple chicken parm. I asked for bolognese sauce instead of tomato sauce. I was told it was a $4 up charge. Ok. NP. I asked for soup. I never got it. It was supposed to come with bread. AGAIN….never got it!! The chicken was made 3 days ago and was dry and burnt. I went based off of a recommendation from the Next Door app. It was terrible. I wasted my money at the end of the day on a slice of pizza and a soup that was blah.
