Vivace’s new executive chef, Rodrigo Velazco, has elevated the concept of “bar food” with a sophisticated new happy hour menu, available at the bar Monday through Friday from 4 until 6 p.m. For example, Vivace’s version of potato skins, patata con erba, is composed of crispy potato wedges, lemon and Tuscan olive aioli, white barbecue sauce and smoked bacon Dijonaisse. And for those whose idea of the perfect bar food is a platter of chicken wings, Vivace has you covered.

Melone Crostato – Seasoned syrup, crispy prosciutto, pickled bird eyes chilis
