" Had a pretty mediocre experience at Riva's. The food was okay, but nothing memorable. The staff were friendly, but the timing of service left much to be desired. I feel like it has potential but it wasn't executed well during my visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Riva's is my go-to Italian spot in Montrose! The food is consistently delicious, with the lasagna being my absolute favorite. I also love the cozy vibe of the place, and the staff has always been friendly during my visits. Highly recommend checking it out if you're in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved my dinner at Riva’s! The garlic bread is to die for and the ravioli was incredible. The atmosphere during the holidays even made it more special. The service was friendly and efficient; everything was fabulous. I'll definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a surprisingly pleasant experience here. I didn’t expect much when I walked in since it was a smaller place, but the food completely won me over. The seafood pasta was absolutely savory, and the atmosphere was surprisingly lively. Would recommend if you're looking for something cozy! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, what a great place! The atmosphere is cozy and inviting during the holidays, and the food is delicious. I tried the Penne Rosa pasta and it was outstanding. Generous portions too! The garlic bread made everything even better. I will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend this place! " (*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*)
