Very cool restaurant with several dinning areas. Great selection of food and all reasonably priced. Really awesome gnocchi! Have also been just for desert as it is open late. Well worth a visit!

Given a one star rating due to 2 out of the 4 of us firstly sending both of their Veal mains back because they tasted very bland and overcooked, secondly because what one of those meals was replaced with was the chicken risotto which tasted like a campbells chicken soup tin recipe. I could make much nicer food at home. Thirdly on leaving one of us wanted to give $5 more contribution to the bill which the ‘man’ behind the counter was totally confused about and then blamed us for there being a queue because HE had got confused. Used to be a good place, is no longer I’m afraid. Much better places out there!

Went to Vivace on Friday night with a small group of friends.
The food is not absolutely amazing, but good portions and tasty enough.
The wait staff were attentative and friendly.
The main issue with Vivace is their tendency to add a few extra drinks onto the bill. This happened years ago when I went here and then again on Friday night. We caught them out on it on Friday night, and there wasn’t even a real apology.
I am certain that they do it deliberately and often get away with it.
So this is a warning – especially if you are in big groups with a number of drinks being ordered – check your bill carefully.

We had a really lovely dinner here, the food was lovely, market fish – not something I would normally order. the wine list is truely amazing and the service was friendly, very attentive and non intrusive. Definately helped make the night of our engagement a truely special evening.

Food is consistently good here, the wait staff are exceptional, they know us and are always friendly, but not intrusive.
We love the tapas as it suits the group that we dine with, which can be 2 to 10 people. The variety of tapas is good and the cannelloni is great also! Sometimes wish they would have a specials menu to expand the tapas as we end up having the same old things everytime.But they are good same old things.
I’d recommend this restaurant, it’s casual, friendly, buzzy with good food.

I held a birthday dinner with 14 friends, booking was very smooth, and I was able to ask them how it was to be arranged. The people were always very helpful.
Food was excellent, everyone enjoyed their meal. Service was exceptional, if they keep up the high care they pay to serving their customers I will definitely be back. The place was nice, if a bit dark (hard to read menu).
There was a $15 cake fee which was unexpected but they did a good job of slicing and serving on plates with some cream and raspberry sauce.
Very good experience, will be back.

I’ve been here so many times and have never been disappointed! Any time I want somewhere NICE to bring someone, especially out of towners.
Go for the belly pork entree and the individual pavs for dessert. OMG, it’s all good to be honest.
I even used one of their function rooms for my birthday last year. I love their food, the atmosphere, and if I could find out HOW they train their staff so well, I would bottle it!

Very difficult to be disappointed here – consistently excellent and interesting. I’ve been going here since they were in Vulcan Lane, take all my overseas visitors and recommend it to everyone. Everyone loves it.
