The food was incredible!!! I adore Mediterranean food and this spot is probably the BEST Mediterranean food I've ever had. I am so excited to go back! Their hummus was so smooth and creamy, I was in heaven. And their steak kabobs were cooked perfectly and tasted fantastic. Just a heads up, there will be a bit of a wait for your food. Great, fresh food is worth the wait!! The workers were kind and the owner even came out to say hi to us. We now have a new favorite restaurant in Bentonville.

Excellent food. We had the Vivace signature for 2 which has a little bit of everything and it was all delicious. It was hard to pick a favorite. The staff was kind and attentive.

Excellent food! -fresh , delicious, made to order , and quite decent prices considering the excellent quality and freshness of ingredients . The owner is very gracious and friendly, cares very much about his guests and his restaurant. A world-traveled friend first took me to this treasure 2 years ago and ever since when I visit nw arkansas from Central Coast CA several times per year I make it a point to stop at Vivace

First time visiting the restaurant. We were impressed with the food that we ordered. We go the signature plate for two. Plenty of food and enough to take home another meal. All the meats were very good with lots of flavor. The platter could have used another roasted vegetable maybe carrots. The restaurant is family owned and staffed as well. The owner works very hard covering multiple tasks. The place is small in size but has a nice atmosphere. We will be going back again.

We were very, very happy with our dinner choice this evening! Our new brother, Ibrahim, invited us in and everything we ordered and devoured was absolutely delicious! Even the tin of baklava sold up front with its variety, for our group of 6, was finger-licking-good and satisfying. We will be back!

Enjoyed this Mediterranean restaurant this evening. The Mezza Platter was fresh and good. My chicken kebabs were delicious. The grilled vegetables were very flavorful. My husband got the Ahi Tuna and it was prepared beautifully.

I went for lunch on a Monday, I had been before, but not for at least a year. I thought they used to give complimentary bread or pita, but maybe that is only dinner hours. We were all happy with our food, but the service was very minimal. No greeting when we walked in and we're not checked on after getting food. There was also no music so it was odd sitting in a silent restaurant with just 1-2 other tables.
