    Enjoyable experience. Came on a Wed night (day before Thanksgiving) around 6PM and were easily seated. They clearly spend a lot of effort/resources creating an inviting and upscale environment. "A" for effort there. They had a pretty extensive drink menu and had a local IPA which is good in my book. We started with the Bruschetta ($12) and my bride really like it. She ordered the Salmon Salad ($19) and really enjoyed it. I went with the Shrimp Salad ($18) and I was really pleased with the fresh ingredients. Service was prompt and friendly. Great dining option if you are in the area.

    Vinny is the consummate host. He and his staff put a very nice banquet together and decorated for a Baby Shower I attended yesterday. The setting was so lovely and the service was perfect. Food and Bev was just right. Thanks!

    Everything we could've asked for. We had prompt and friendly service. The wine was served in a manner befitting the decor, with a tip toward service and quality. Both our buttered chicken and Greek gyro were top notch. The only downside was the portions were so generous, we had no room for dessert. We will be returning for future fancy date night dinners!

    10/10 experience! Went on a Sunday, where they had live music that was fun and aligned with the romantic ambiance of the restaurant - even had a song performed for my partner and I! The lamb curry and lobster ravioli were nothing short of perfect. The manager was incredibly kind, walking around, chivalrously checking in on us multiple times throughout the experience. Thanks!

    Stopped here on the way back home. Wow did not expect to get such amazing food. The service was excellent and staff were friendly. Definitely a nice place for lunch of dinner. I loved how the restaurant puts its own little spin on classic dishes. Too bad we don't live in the area otherwise we would be frequent guests. If you happen to be in the area this is a spot to check out.

    My husband and I decided to try this place for our dinner date, stopping by from VA Beach to our hotel. My favorite part of the meal was my appetizer! I love their Caprese with fresh mozzarella cheese, balsamic and complement it with smoked apple jam makes it perfect! The steak was marinated and melts in your mouth! The service was so awesome, Winnie makes sure that we got everything we need in timely manner!. Over all we love our experience and definitely want to come back here!.

    SERVICE Rolled in on a late night for a spontaneous date and…read morewas told the wait would be about 45 minutes since we didn't have a reservation. About a few minutes after purring our names down, we were told it could be shorter since some parties cancelled their reservation! AMBIANCE We were seated upstairs in a small table in the middle of the dining room. It was a cute candlelit and homey and cozy spot...the booths upstairs seemed to be able to fit 6 or so and it was somewhat loud later in the night due to some nearby folks on their second or third round of drinks. Once seated our waitress served us water and bread which was slightly warmed. We decided to each order a salad and try the pasta dishes but no sides to save room for dessert! FOOD Our salads came pretty quickly and were good portioned for the price in this economy. The spinach salad with goat cheese, beets and the walnut candied crunch were quite tasty and the Caesar was solid too. Nothing amazing but served as fresh appetizer/starters for us. 10-15 minutes later our pasta dishes arrived. The spaghetti bowl was massive and the bolognese was also a huge portion! The meatballs were hefty and well seasoned. While a bit oily for my taste and in leftover form, the bolognese dish was delicious! Loved the house made tagliatelle with the thick handmade bounce texture and beefy tomato sauce. Definitely too much food for us so we got a takeout box and took half home. The tiramisu was well portioned, fluffy and airy and the ladyfingers were not oversoaked and there wasn't as bold of an espresso flavor as I liked but definitely one of the better spots in this area. OVERALL Totally would return for next date night and way better valued than Tavola. Loved the pasta dishes way more here and the tiramisu was at least much more authentic in my opinion. Only taking off a star since our service was definitely way slower than expected after asking for more water and the check. But overall cute and solid through and though.

    Disappointed in the decline in service and quality. We've been a patron of Vivace for a long time,…read morebut have really seen a significant fall off in the last year or so - especially regarding service. Our most recent dinner there was slow and inattentive. Dishes were forgotten and did not arrive, and the ones that came were lukewarm at best. No one cleared plates and no one checked on our satisfaction with our meals. Expect an experience that leans heavily on the long time reputation of the place and less on the current quality of the food and service.

The food here is fresh and made from with skill. They handmade all their pasta dishes and the quality is felt in every bite. While the price is quite expensive the quality matches what your expectations should be set too. Service here was spectacular. The nursing student who helped us was extremely attentive yet not overbearing. This is the perfect place for special occasions or taking visitors to dinner when they want a good Charlottesville meal. Would recommend.

Between us, we did 3 cocktails, 2 apps, 2 entrees and 2 desserts and the bill came to about $220 tax and tip included. The restaurant had their main door closed (maybe they always do?) so we entered through a narrow back alley entrance into their bar. Parking is kinda tough. We did arrive a few mins early to our reservation and watched a table of 2 and 4 get seated before us which was a bit frustrating (it seemed like the host knew them and maybe they were given preference). Additionally, despite the reservation saying it was for my partners birthday it was not mentioned while we were being sat or by our server during our meal. Other restaurants in town (particularly Orzo and C&O) are really good about noticing these reservation notes and ensuring they are acknowledged. Both restaurants have also provided complimentary dessert or champagne and so it was a bit of a bummer it seemed to not be noticed at all. The ambiance was also much louder than we expected. Unfortunately we got sat next to 4 very drunk rowdy women which can't be helped but we could hardly hear each other over how loud the room was. The vibe was more of a nice dinner out with friends than romantic intimate dinner we hoped for. The music was upbeat and funky. Not a bad thing just maybe a misfit for what we were hoping for this evening. I haven't been here before so it might have been nicer to be sat in a quieter corner since it was just the two of us (not sure if that would have been possible). Our server Ginger was nice. She did provide a list of special for the evening which we ordered a few of. Food wise, tavola, in my opinion, certainly beats mockingbird or the local which are its two neighboring restaurants I've been to. It's actually not even a close comparison the food is significantly better imo. For starters we had the fried artichoke in aioli. Delicious - 5/5. Only problem was there wasn't more of it! The bread was from alb baking co and was served with olive oil. It was fine. Not the best bread or oil I've had. For drinks we had the alpine air (gin, pear, lemon, rosemary I think) and some pear cocktail (pear simple, Tito's, maybe pear liqueur?). My partner had an espresso martini with dessert. All cocktails were 5/5. Very good. For entrees we had the duck rotini and the pork special with collard greens and potatos au gratin. The rotini duck was interesting. I liked the flavor profile of duck, cocoa (in the pasta), pickled chiles and mushroom. I did feel like the flavor combination was so rich I wish they would have been a little more bold with the cocoa flavor. To be honest, it got lost and was completely overpowered by the mushroom flavor in the sauce. The sauce itself felt more of like a butter and fell a bit flat. The duck was chopped into small pieces and I just felt like the execution of this dish didn't do the ingredients justice. I wish they had done a braised duck breast in maybe a cocoa-orange sauce as I thought the cocoa duck combination was quite smart. I felt like the pasta version of these flavors just fell a bit flat and ended up feeling a bit bland as the mushroom was the only prominent note. Overall, I'd give this a 3/5. Neither of us were wowed by it but I think the flavors are ambitious and interesting. The pork on the other hand was fabulous. The pork was cooked perfectly in what felt like a wine reduction and was incredibly tender, no knife needed. The potatoes au gratin were a tad on the underdone side and had a bit more bite than maybe I expected but the flavor with the caramelized onion on top was fabulous. The collard greens are some of the best I've ever had. I love collard greens and am quite picky and these were amazing. I wanted a whole plate of them. 5/5. We ordered Brussels and pancetta on the side and this was also a 5/5. Very good. For dessert we had the tiramisu and the cheese plate. The tiramisu, frankly, was a 2/5. The lady fingers were totally soaking and the dessert was actually just a wet blob. The texture was just not good. The cheese plate was fine, 3/5. It was served with grilled crostini, cherries and candied walnuts. The cheeses themselves were a soft maybe goat cheese, what felt like pepper jack, and then two hard cheeses similar to Parmesan. None of them were particularly flavorful or compelling. I wish the plate had been served with some sort of jelly or sweet spread to accompany the cheeses as I felt the bread nut cheese combo was a bit too dry. Overall, I would say the main foods we had were very good and I think next time we may try their more traditional italian pastas like the carbonara or the bucatini. Overall I think the food here is very good and we would be back.

Overall, the claim of the owner's long and exceptional culinary experience was not evident here. He either lost his passion or is not actually here, ever. Basicly an overpriced Diner. Maddingly the waitress held onto the credit card machine and stared at the screen while I tried to pay. Is that intimidation for a higher tip, since the machine starts the suggested options at 20%? one and done, other options nearby.
