" I visited Ria's for the first time last night, and I couldn't be happier! The staff was warm and greeted us kindly right away. My partner and I shared a marvelous chicken parmesan, which was perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. We also enjoyed the ambiance, which was cozy yet lively. Just be sure to make a reservation since this place gets packed! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve visited Ria’s many times, and yes, the food is always good, but I must mention the inconsistent portions. One day, I got a hefty serving of pasta, and the next, it was significantly smaller. I never had a problem with the flavor though, always delicious! Hopefully, they work on making their servings more consistent. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've had some good meals at Ria's, but it's hands down the pizza that keeps bringing me back! It’s incredibly flavorful and has that perfect crispy crust. I once ordered a meat-lover's pizza and it was a game-changer. The staff is always pleasant and quick, making the whole experience enjoyable. Just an all-around great place to grab a bite with friends. Would definitely recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I was a bit disappointed after hearing all the hype. The food was good, but I wouldn't call it remarkable. I tried their eggplant rollatini, which was a bit heavier than expected. That said, the staff's service was excellent—very attentive. Maybe I just need to try something different next time to really appreciate the food? " (*Curated Review*)

" If you've never been to Ria's, you need to fix that! The pizza is hands down the best in town! Crisp, fresh, and flavorful, with the right amount of toppings. The service is friendly and attentive as well. Can’t wait to bring more friends next time. My favorite pizza place for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I attended a group dinner at Ria’s and everything went well. The appetizers were heavenly; the stuffed mushrooms were my favorite. The staff worked quickly to ensure everything was smooth. I would say the only downside was that the main courses took a bit longer than expected. Overall, a genuinely pleasant evening! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had to write a review after my visit last night at Ria's! I enjoyed the caprese salad; it was fresh and flavorful. After that, I had their signature pasta dish, which left me speechless with how rich and delicious it was. The only downside was a slight wait time, but it was well worth it! " (*Curated Review*)
