Vivace In Siena

Really an amazing restaurant, I cannot reccomment this place enough! It has perfect location, charming view from a romantic terrace, wonderful stuff (Antonio is really one of a kind, his English the best I ever heard in Italy in 20 years…) and the food we had was delicious. Actually I was blown away the moment we entered the restaurant, as the waiter was immediately helping us with the babystroller and tried to distract our baby girl from having a tantrum in pouring rainy day in Siena. You can tell they know how to take care of their clients! The service only got better as they were ready to help us choose and in perfect English. We tried the seafood and also the burrata pasta and it was excellent. We saw other dishes that made us sorry we were there just for one day… We enjoyed their desserts, wine and the caffè granita too. The rain gave us enough time to savour it all… And all this time we felt welcomed, our baby included. We had no idea the restaurant had an amazing view and were able to see it as our waiter invited us to enjoy it with their umbrella despite the rainy day. His colleague even offered some interesting information about the city when he saw me looking at the pictures of Siena… they were very welcoming and professional, really a delight that made our visit so much better. All of them, the italian mamma from the kitchen as well. We will be back and congratulations to the owner, you have a real treasure. (Honest review of a demanding guest who looks for how the best service is delivered, as I got spoiled in Costa Smeralda. ;)) I came back later when the rain finally stopped for good to see the terrace once again as Antonio suggested, to know what to look for on our next visit. Grazie mille e arrivederci!

Peaceful garden, great view, friendly service & delicious food! 🙂

The view from this restaurant is stunning and it's the best place to be, if you want to watch sunset. Food was good but not the best we have eaten in Tuscany. There was nothing to dislike and everything was cooked well. Service was slow but we didn't mind it at all. They were really busy and run off their feet. Would recommend if you're in Siena and wanting to dine somewhere with a good view.

We got lucky again! We we wandering the streets in Siena checking view points and wall gates etc and we came across this place away from the crowds and a robot started to tell us about the beautiful views available inside. So after checking the menu board we returned for a sunset dinner. It was lovely! The view was beautiful as promised and it was quiet and the food was delicious and unique. We enjoyed the fig and feta and walnut salad, the pork with green apple sauce and green beans with sliced almonds and chili. One of my favourite places I have eaten. Unique and delicious. The staff were friendly, courteous and efficient. And we got to hear the many church bells ringing in the distance while we were there.

Conveniently open during off hours when most places are closed. Tasty food with a fantastic view over the edge of a cliff back up at the city conveniently close to the Cathedral.

A wonderful experience! The view at sunset is sublime and tranquil. The food and service were also excellent.

Restaurant with a view. Well, you're paying for that, of course. The price-performance ratio for the last star was lacking. I'd gladly pay €20 for tortellini if ​​they were that good. Overall, the quality is impressive. The service is courteous, prompt, and friendly. Yes, like every big city in Tuscany, it's geared toward American tourists. You can tell that here, too. The wine we ordered was good, but overpriced. We didn't feel ripped off. It was borderline expensive, but the service made up for it. A little more quality and attention to detail in the kitchen, and it would have been five stars. Dogs are welcome and allowed.

The scenic view from the terrace is exceptional and impressive. The service, especially Antonio, is warm, attentive, and courteous. Our meal was excellent. The evening was enjoyable. Dining in this setting was a highlight of our vacation. We enjoyed it and can recommend the restaurant.

Very nice on the terrace. The pappardelle al forno was amazing.

5 stars don’t do justice to how nice Vivace was to all of us and our family in terms of food, location and views, and most importantly service. They were very accommodating to all of us! We hosted friends and family at Vivace for our wedding welcome party and everyone was beyond impressed. The food was incredible (they even accommodated a few dietary restrictions in our party), the view from the terrace is absolutely stunning, and the service we received was above and beyond. Thank you to Vivace, the staff, and a BIG THANK YOU to Mena for making our event amazing! Coordinating, communicating, and executing our event were exceptional from Vivace and Mena! THANK YOU!!!
