Description: If there are any three young people who have had the experience it takes to open their own restaurant, these three are it - - and their coming together reads like a story. Franco Lazzari, Daniele Kucera and Stefano Terzi originally met each in the early 90’s while working in New York. At ViceVersa, Franco, Daniele and Stefano, unveiled their vision for a contemporary Italian restaurant, combining the traditions of their own cultural background with the youth and energy of their years, and the sophistication and experience of their time in major New York City restaurants.

Went to Vice Versa for the first time for a pre-theatre birthday dinner. Was not disappointed. The prix fixe dinners looked terrific, and were a great value. We ordered a la carte and were thrilled with the food. Mixed drinks and wine list are extensive. Desserts fabulous. We'll be back! More

This was my 3rd time visiting this restaurant. I thought the food was good this time but not as outstanding as the 2 other times that I visited (the last one was Feburary 2011). I ordered the branzino and shared the Cesar salad and the octopus with the table for appetizers. I really enjoyed the ambiance and the service this... More

We went to this restaurant on a recommendation of a friend. It was very nice. The staff were great! I asked them to bring out a birthday dessert and they did so very nicely. The food was tasty and Frank ,the man in charge for the night, was most charming and warm. The bar area is lovely and the Cucumber... More

This is definitely one of the better restaurants in the theater district. Nice, friendly service, and prices were not bad. Atmosphere was clean and modern. Outdoor seating was available out front and in a small garden in the back. The 3-course pre-fixe dinner was a decent deal at $35. I enjoyed the fusilli but the banana cake was a bit... More

Lovely food and excellent service. The restaurant was attractive and the menu was interesting. The food was well presented and delicious. Best meal we had during our stay, but the bill was not the most expensive. Would recommend this place. More

We were looking for a restaurant close to the Gershwin theater and found some good reviews. We indicated that we were going to the show and they made certain we were on time. Our reservation was for 5:30 and we were seated immediately. Service was efficient and friendly. We each had a salad, mine was the beet carpaccio with goat... More

All four entrees were superb and the service 5-star. We enjoyed their pre-fixe dinner in 90 minutes - the pacing was perfect. Can't wait to return in good weather to enjoy their lovely patio in the back. More

We went to this place for dinner a couple of nights ago with some friends. The place is nice but nothing out of this world. We shared a few appetizers, which were just ok. I had the pasta with veal. I have to be honest, I have had better veal Ragu. My husband had the spaghetti with crab and he... More

The food was decent overall. I wouldn't hesitate to go for dessert after a show, it was by far the best part of the meal. May I recommend the carrot cake and also the pistachio gelato, yum! More
