Caffe Vivace

An Unforgettable Night of Jazz – Can’t wait to go back! I stumbled upon Caffe Vivace recently and had such a phenomenal experience that I’m already planning a second visit to bring my whole family. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was perfect. But the real star of the show was, of course, the music. Listening to the band play (Stephanie Nakasian w/Phil DeGreg Trio) was an absolute treat. I loved watching the musicians interact, especially during the solos—the deep, resonant notes from the bass, the soulful chords of the piano, and the energy of the drums all blended together beautifully. The highlight of the evening was the vocalist. She performed a fantastic mix of swing and bebop, and you could feel her passion for the genre in every note. When she mentioned that her idol was the legendary Ella Fitzgerald, it all made sense; her scatting and stage presence were truly reminiscent of the greats. What really set the night apart, however, was how welcoming the club was. I even got the chance to speak with some of the performers after the show. They were so gracious and friendly, which made the whole experience feel incredibly special. If you are looking for authentic live jazz and a warm, inviting vibe, do not miss this place. I’m already looking forward to sharing it with my family

Thoroughly enjoyed the live music and atmosphere. Small and intimate. Purchase tickets early, they sell fast.

An absolutely charming place. The jazz music is outstanding,perfect for relaxing and enjoying every moment. The coffee is delicious, crafted with that special touch that makes you want to order another. The atmosphere is warm, wholesome, and ideal for having a good time in a calm and friendly setting. People truly enjoy themselves here in a tasteful way. The service is excellent, making you feel welcome from the moment you walk in until the moment you leave. Definitely a place I always want to come back to. Highly recommended!

Nice literate/Club tucked away in Walnut Hills. Very intimate seating but group, sound and service was excellent. Great couples getaway for a weekend or short drive from Columbus. Not far from Cincinnati’s Newport district.

This was a gift from me to my baby brother, and it was the first time he has ever been there. He thoroughly enjoyed the experience and the music was phenomenal. It was tunes that we both grew up with. We will both be back again, although I have been there numerous timesand I knew it was just the right place for his birthday gift.
