Vivace is a staple in the charlottesville community, so to have poor service is just disappointing…read more The place was packed per usual on a saturday night and we were seated on the patio at a table on a significant slant, shifting when dishes moved and making it hard to set drinks down. Our waiter, Timmy, was very inattentive the entire time, even thought he was training someone. For example, the whole 2 hours our table was there, he did not refill our waters cups/top them off once. After our food came out he came over to check we had the right meals and then for the next hour didn't come to check on us, even when we were visibly done eating and shooing away the flies circling our untouched food. After he finally came over to see how we were doing and we asked for boxes, he proceeded to forget them the next 3 times when he came over to divvy up the bill. We were even celebrating a birthday and he didn't say a single thing. The food was wonderful, a long wait as expected on a saturday, but i highly recommended the ragu alla bolognese made with fresh pasta. Great place for a girls night, family dinner, date, but trade off is you can't care much for good service.

My favorite item of our order was the Jalapeno Poppers - they were so flavorful and crispy! I tried the Buddhist Pizza, which was tasty and I loved the "zing" that the sundried tomatoes gave the pie. We also had an order of the brussels sprouts - love to see a sprout on the menu. These ones were very soft and sauced - they could have used a bit more flavor, but they were nonetheless delicious. Would love to see some vegetarian protein options for the pizzas!

One word... EXCEPTIONAL! I've never been so excited to leave a review…read more Vinny, the owner, sets the bar for service, hospitality, and overall quality. He is attentive, generous, and ensures everyone's needs are met above expectation. He has a sense of humor as well that makes you forget he's the owner and want him to join you for dinner. Now the food... absolutely delicious! The mashed potatoes, butter chicken, curry, limoncello cake, spanish coffee, etc etc etc! Everything was so delicious, I didn't take any pictures, I lived in the experience! The staff were amazing as well. Always on it with refills, clearing the table, ensuring you have the best time. This is now a for sure stop when we visit the area. Add Vinny and the Fiorano team to your dining list!

Enjoyable experience…read more 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.

My husband and I wound up having an early dinner at Vito's on 08/09/26--and, if I must say so…read moremyself, it was a GREAT decision of mine! As always, we were greeted with a warm smile and seated immediately. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and efficient, and she brought over some decadent garlic knots for us to enjoy while we waited for our meal. Of course, our meal was really nice! A little over cooked coconut chicken, but still very tasty! Beyond our own wonderful experience, I couldn't help but notice the exceptional service being provided to another table. I have honestly never witnessed wine service quite like that in person! The customer ordered a bottle of wine, and the waiter promptly brought it to the table carrying it as though he were presenting a million-dollar bottle. He carefully opened it right at the table and allowed the guests to taste the wine before offering to fill their glasses. For a moment, I felt like I had stepped into a black-tie, Michelin-star restaurant! The attention to detail, presentation, and genuine care he gave that table were absolutely impeccable. While our own service was wonderful, I couldn't help but notice that extra touch of grandeur being extended to his guests. THAT is what exceptional service looks like! Way to go, Vito's! What an impressive experience!

1st - Tavola is a nice venue. Quaint but spacious and comfortable…read more They stay open late and put no pressure to hurry. We arrived about 9 pm and were seated promptly. The 3 meals that we ordered were very tasty and served considerately with salads first and then the mains. Not all at once like so many places are prone to do. Bad Knock 1- Any quality establishment should offer Bread for the Table but Tavola charges extra for bread. Strange practice for a pricey menu. Bad Knock 2 - While we were greeted nicely on arrival our server was quite Curt and a bit Short with us during the ordering. This just makes for an uneasiness during the meal. Bad Knock 3 - This one borders almost as Unethical. Tavola has a policy of Adding a Mandatory 20% Gratuity to ALL CHECKS. Regardless of party size, solo diner or large party. When questioned, the server noted that it is stated on the menu. ( in fine print ). This practice seems very questionable and Tavoli should make the fact more obvious before the customer orders. JUST ANOTHER ODDITY for what otherwise seems like a quality establishment.

It's cool that the noodles are hand-made but they were very chewy to me. Maybe I'm just not used to home-made pasta but it was lacking. I appreciate that they have vegetarian options, however it seems like it's written by a meat-eater who thinks, "this is what vegetarians can eat!" Very limiting and not very creative (from a pescatarian). Pasta was ready very quickly which was nice but if it was rushed, it shows. $12 for butter noodles. Can't say I'll be going back.

This place is somewhere in the range of unimpressive to disappointing…read more We were seated then promptly ignored. No waters, no wine list. We just sat there. Even heard the staff person who seated us say to a co-worker "don't forget about the table in the window." Asked for the wine list and ordered a bottle which sat sweating in plain sight on the bar while we ate our salads. My chicken dish was cold when it got to me. I sent it back and got a do-over plate of the same order. The re-do was better, but my judgement was clouded by that point. My fellow diners felt their entrees were decent, but that the bread was really the best part of the meal. I left wondering how and why this place survives. The whole operation feels like it just wants to nod off to sleep. Maybe a Thursday night is slow? Maybe outside of the school year there's a lull at this place? Those are the benefit of the doubt questions I want to ask in their defense. But ultimately I feel like this place seems to keep going out of some sort of "but we're a restaurant" obligation. Won't return; don't recommend.
