Vivace Beachfront
Our Story
A Sicilian kitchen at the edge of the Pacific — born from tradition, shaped by the sea.
Our Philosophy
A shared passion for modern Italian cuisine
Vivace is the result of the union between creativity, tradition, and a love for great food. Our team shares a single purpose: to offer a dining experience where every dish reflects the soul of Italy with a contemporary touch.
Fresh ingredients, artisanal technique, and an atmosphere full of warmth combine to create moments enjoyed with all five senses.
Every detail — from the selection of wines to the presentation of each dish — is designed to invite conversation, enjoyment, and connection. At Vivace, eating is not just an act; it is a celebration of life, flavour, and the art of sharing.
The kitchen
Our Chefs
Luigi Tumminello
Head Chef
Born in Sicily, Luigi learned to cook at his grandmother's table — slowly, generously, and with whatever the fishing boats brought in that morning. He arrived on the Costa Rican coast with a handmade pasta machine and a wood-fire technique refined over decades. Every plate he sends out is a letter from the Mediterranean, written in Pacific ink.
Douglas Vázquez
Sous Chef
Douglas brings a deep knowledge of local Costa Rican produce and a precision that completes Luigi's vision. Together they bridge two culinary worlds — the flavours of Italy and the freshness of the Pacific — into dishes that feel both familiar and entirely new.
