An Italian history rich in family and friends.

Authenticly Italian

Vivace Restaurant, located in the bucolic community of Ivy, opened its doors in July of 1995. Housed in the former main quarters of a peach orchard, Vivace lures patrons with its diverse atmosphere. From the cozy, intimate upstairs, which hints at the comfort and ease of Nona's home, to the vast expanse of our multi-tiered terrace, the ambiance at Vivace appeals to all. The 1940s hand-crafted serpentine bar in the lounge provides both a frolicsome setting for the light-hearted and a cozy lounge setting in front of a roaring fire for the more romantic.

From the moment you step over our stone threshold you will discover that Vivace is a taste full of Italy. Our unique decor and old family photos will transport you to a quaint, Italian village (setting, restaurant). Creating a genuine atmosphere and providing authentic, tasty entrees have been our primary goals for the past ten years.
