Vivace Brighton is one our favourite restaurants. We ate at Vivace for a milestone birthday celebration with family and friends. The menu is creative, the food divine and the wine list is extensive. The staff always greet you warmly, with a welcome that makes you feel like family. Service throughout the meal is always courteous and attentive. We live on the Peninsula now, but the drive to Brighton is totally worth it - we'll be back.

Fabulous service and superb food. We are regulars at Vivace because it's such a wonderful dining experience and is consistently brilliant. They always offer great 'specials' each time so you always have something new to try - plus they know how to make great cocktails!
