" This was my first time at Riva's and I was very impressed! The garlic bread and salads were fresh and tasty, and we ordered a variety of entrees. All were hearty and felt authentic. A solid dining experience, I will definitely return again soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Riva's has quickly become one of my favorite spots! I love how family-friendly it feels yet also perfect for a dinner date. The pastas are homemade and the portions are generous. Don't forget to try their house wine with dinner - it's fantastic! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes but was ultimately disappointed. The ambiance is nice and the staff is friendly, but the food was not great. My ravioli felt like it had been frozen and heated up. I won't be rushing back any time soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful dining experience! We celebrated my friend's birthday and the staff could not have been more accommodating. The décor was festive and fun. Each dish we ordered was absolutely delicious and filling. I especially enjoyed the shrimp scampi. It’s hard not to feel at home here! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the misfortune of experiencing poor service at Riva’s on my last visit. The food was average at best, and our waiter barely checked on us. The highlight was definitely the garlic bread which was delicious, but overall, I left feeling unsatisfied. They really need to work on their service quality for how much they charge. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just wonderful! tried Riva's last night for a cozy evening. The staff was super welcoming, and I loved the decorations all over the restaurant. My steak was perfectly cooked, and my partner had a delightful seafood dish. Portions were generous too. I will definitely be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Riva's is charming with its old-world decor and festive look. The portions were generous, yet I found some dishes lacked the authenticity I craved. My experience was mixed; while the bread was delightful, my veal didn’t have the best flavor. I'll consider returning for the atmosphere alone. " (*Curated Review*)
