Vivace

FOOTHILLS. Vivace is Italian for "lively," and this midtown restaurant lives up to the name. With a spacious, inviting dining room, an open kitchen and a separate wine bar, there is plenty of room to accommodate groups. A smaller dining room is suited to intimate dinners or special occasions. Chef Daniel Scordato, highly regarded in Tucson for his fantastic Italian cuisine, has created a stellar menu full of favorites like crispy crab cannelloni, linguini with grilled salmon, and veal osso bucco.
