Dining room at Vivace, Tucson, AZThe Scordato family has long been a part of the fine dining scene in Tucson. Today, it's Vivace that retains some of that Scordato allure, thanks to Daniel Scordato, who earned his stripes at an early age in the family business. Our favorite dish, the seafood lasagnette, is layered with fresh sheets of tender pasta, seafood and spinach in a barely there tomato sauce. But we also like the seafood soup, rich with a creative assortment of fish and seafood. You shouldn’t pass on the osso buco, a longtime Scordato family treat. Save room for Danny’s famous molten chocolate cake---it easily serves two. The twenty minute wait for this heavenly ending to your meal is worth it, but if you let your server know you want this dessert, they can get it started for you. Wines by the glass are varied, and there is a full “by the bottle” list as well. And whether you dine in the warm, sophisticated dining room or on the patio, it's reminiscent of supping in Tuscany.
