" Last night was our first visit to La Riv, and I have to say, it exceeded our expectations! The atmosphere was cozy yet elegant, perfect for a romantic evening. We started with the Brussels sprouts, which were crispy and flavorful. For mains, I had the steak, which was cooked exactly how I ordered it, and my partner enjoyed the salmon, which he said was delicate and delicious. The service was top-notch, making us feel welcome throughout our meal. I can’t wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely the best dining experience I’ve had in recent memory! The ambiance was warm and welcoming, great for groups or a romantic dinner. We ordered a range of dishes, but I will call out the veal osso buco, which practically melted in my mouth. Every bite was rich and luscious. Service was attentive without being overwhelming, which made the overall experience delightful. This place is a hidden gem that I can't recommend highly enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" I took my family to La Riv for a casual Friday dinner, and it didn’t disappoint. The setting is comfortably upscale and the menu caters to different preferences. The kids loved their pizzas, which were topped generously but still had that authentic taste I was after. I had the grilled salmon, which was seared just right, but the portion could have been larger. Nevertheless, we had a wonderful meal and will certainly return. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you’re looking for a true culinary experience, La Riv is the place to go! Each dish tells a story, especially their signature pasta selections. The attention to detail in the ingredients was evident in each bite. Our waiter was a gem; very professional and accommodating. The price is reflective of the quality, and in this case, it’s definitely justified. I will spread the word about this hidden gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" We celebrated my best friend's birthday at La Riv last week, and it was fantastic! From the welcoming service to the delicious food, everything was perfect. We ordered several appetizers, and the charcuterie board was a hit! The portions were generous, which was great for sharing. My risotto was creamy and flavorful, and the dessert? Don't overlook it—the tiramisu was heavenly! Definitely planning to return soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just got back from dinner at La Riv, and while I liked the food (especially the charcuterie board), I felt the service was a bit slow that night. The pizzas were delicious and beautifully presented, but waiting for our check took longer than expected. The atmosphere, though, was lively and inviting! I'd like to come back and give it another go. " (*Curated Review*)

" La Riv is my new go-to! The menu offers a variety of Italian dishes with fresh ingredients, and the wood-fired pizzas are amazing—you can't go wrong with them. We ordered the burrata for appetizer, and the flavors were great! Our server was knowledgeable, but it took a little long to get our mains. Nevertheless, once we were served, the dishes did not disappoint at all! Looking forward to my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)
