    I wouldn't want to be a server at Piazza Gavi on Valentine's Day, but Jonathon was great juggling I don't know how many tables. And the place was jammed even at 4:00 in the afternoon. And noisy. But Johnathon remained fiendly, knowledgeable and efficient. And the food, as always, is top-notch. It's not on the menu, but if you ask for the Pork Fior De Latte, you will not be disappointed, and there's enough to take home for a second meal. Gavi is very much our spot for Valentine's Day every year.

    We lucked out and got Todd for our waiter. He provided impeccable service, and he even helped me with a wine selection, which was tasty. I had the yellow beet salad and the roast chicken with mashed potatoes. Both were yummy. For dessert, the crème brûlée was the ideal antidote for my sweet tooth. I was completely satiated, but not stuffed. My friend ordered a slice of the chocolate cake, which was HUGE. We had a delightful dining experience.

    The food was fantastic. The lasagna and Branzino entrees were delicious. We tried the zucchini appetizer which was also a treat for the tastebuds.

    Minor "glitch" early on remedied by restaurant Zoe McCarthy in superbly professional manner. Food fit our Wednesday night requirements perfectly- food board we split for four and four appetizers/pizza/salads (not all, we are seniors), plus the bottle of wine and we left happy (as opposed to happily left).

    Vivace continues to be one of the finest dining experiences in Tucson. Over the years the location has changed, both times for the better, but the food is consistently excellent. Their most popular entree is the crab stuffed chicken breast, and it has been my go-to dish for about 30 years.
