We had heard a great deal about Vivace and decided to try it for dinner. The service was perfect - from wine selection to a personal thank you for our tip on the way out. The food gets a grade of B+ at this point. There was nothing bad or mediocre but it just wasn't great. The scallops with procuitto... More

This is one of our favorite restaurants in Omaha. We love to go when we can sit outside & enjoy the Old Market vibe. The best advice is to take your time & enjoy the meal. Don't be in a hurry!

The restaurant can be somewhat noisy (depending on where you are in the restaurant), but many of the tables are relatively quiet. Service is very good. Good bar for pre-dinner drinks, and nice hors d'oeuvres if you are in the mood. Good pastas, tasty Italian mains and a good selection of specials. Wine list is pretty good for a mid-American... More

This restaurant is located in Old Market and has a nice variety of Italian selections. The portions are on the large size and are very tasty.

Beautiful restaurant in the old market. Romantic yet not stuffy. Jeans to Evening Wear. Everyone fit in. Fresh warm garlic herb flat bread/sticks delivered to your table. So yummy. I could have just eaten these! Both my husband and I chose to "design" our own pasta. I had fettuccine with gorgonzola cream sauce topped with steak. My husband had angel... More

This was a very pleasant experience. We ate outside and watched all the street life as we dined on excellent food. The menu choices were such that it was difficult to decide what to eat. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was very enjoyable. Will go back again.

We really miss Vivace in the old market! It was my favorite restaurant down there until it moved out west. Amazing food!

I realize that I chose what I ordered, but it was not at all tasty! I'm not a picky person either and I usually don't complain about a restaurant but it really wasnt good. I couldn't even stand the smell.

Vivace is delicious. Love the ambience. Wait staff is very attentive and Scott, bartender, is great. Knows what kind of wine I like when I don't even know. :) The homemade pasta always hits the spot for comfort food. The greens salad with strawberries and candied walnuts is so good. The brunch on Sunday used to be one of the... More
