As soon as you enter you’re greeted with a smile and shown to your table. We decided to eat in the bar area at the bar.There’s a special lunch menu and normal menu plus specials of the day. There’s never a shortage of food selection. A Campari Spritz aperitivo to begin with and selection of food to follow. The merenda ( a school sandwich- schnitzel encased in white bread, wrapped in foil ) is the obligatory starter.We shared the risotto with gorgonzola and radicchio, the orecchiette with broccolini, anchovies, garlic and oil and the deconstructed hamburger with a green peppercorn sauce. All were extremely flavoursome.Our favorite dessert is the zabaglione and the chocolate mousse was a special of the day. Both delicious.Will always return for another moorish Italian meal and I know I won’t be disappointed.

Cafe e Cucina hosted a group of 45 staff members from Football Victoria for a late celebratory lunch this week. Not only was our meal absolutely beautiful, the service we received was so personalised, warm and friendly, we’ve been talking about the experience in the office ever since. I cannot thank Mauro, Massimo, Arthur and the entire team enough for creating a very special afternoon for us.

My husband, my son and I had dinner on a recent Sunday evening in the Garden Room at the back of this restaurant. We had a selection of tapas which were beautifully presented and delicious and then we each had a main and we were all delighted with out choices. The meals were beautifully presented and delicious and the service was really excellent with a very friendly and helpful waiter. From the street, the restaurant is deceiving as one has no idea of the lovely atmosphere in the Garden Room at the rear of the restaurant. We will definitely be returning.

Affordable main meals and a management that listens to clients’ suggestions about the menu. New waitresses and waiters have made ALL the difference. Genuinely courteous, pleasant and efficient wait staff make a huge difference to the ‘eat-out’ experience. Kindness to children is much appreciated, so there’s a nice atmosphere for families to enjoy.

The staff are friendly and helpful. The take out order is quick. Recommend The vegetarian, Hawaiian and Margarita. Also recommend the Tirmasu. Good size serving. Easy walking distance from the Alfred hospital. You can eat in or take away. You can also find the menu on line.

Our 'local' turned out to e a highlight of our Melbourne stay. From the minute we stepped inside this tiny [27 sq m!] restaurant we felt at home. Our waitress, Carolina, was a gem - ensuring always that we had enough water and wine, and were enjoying our food, without ever being intrusive. Everything is made on the premises and served up with Italian music in the background. Just fabulous and can't be recommended highly enough.

Friends got together at this restaurant and we all chose something different. From pizza, salad, boulabaise, spaghetti bol and so on. Everyone was very happy with their choice, great wine was added to the dinner and we had a wonderful night. The service was excellent, there for us when we needed them. Not too pricey and as I said the servings were pretty large.

Vivace has never disappointed is. I recently had a dinner to celebrate being alive after a bout of cancer. The food and service was incredible. Chris is great to deal with and was flexible with my food choices. On a number of occasions I've eaten there and never been disappointed with the quality of food. I highly recommend the pork belly, the risotto, the oysters with the shallot dressing, the calamari, and the seafood linguini. If you're lucky, you may get Andrew as your waiter who is just lovely.

Fabulous wait staff, Peter, helpful and friendly without taking over, especially since it took us about half an hour to make up our minds. Ordered drinks speedily delivered and after ordering meals were soon delivered hot and tasty. My beef rage was had lots of meat and a generous serving. Dessert was also nice ; the restaurant is ideal for a cheap and cheerful meal.
