" We celebrated my daughter's birthday at Ria's and had a wonderful time! The chicken francese was light and flavorful, and my wife couldn't stop raving about the eggplant parm. We were seated promptly, and the staff made us feel special, making sure to sing for my daughter! I will definitely be coming back for another family dinner. " (*Curated Review*)

" I dropped by Ria’s primarily for a quick lunch break, and their lunch special didn’t disappoint. I had a classic marinara that was super flavorful. The pasta was perfectly al dente too—much appreciated! The service was prompt, which was really nice considering I was short on time. Happy customer! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Ria's, but unfortunately, my visit was marred by issues with service. It took a long time for our food to arrive, and communication was lacking from the staff. The food quality itself was up to par; very tasty with good flavors. I won't give up on Ria’s just yet—I want to see them improve the service during my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I am a huge fan of authentic Italian cuisine, and let me tell you, Ria’s hits the mark! The flavor profiles are spot on, reminding me of my time spent in Italy. The staff is friendly and attentive too, particularly during busy hours. Do try their specials; every time I’ve ordered one, it has exceeded my expectations! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been going to Ria's for years and the quality remains consistent. Their take on traditional Italian dishes keeps my taste buds satisfied. The only drawback is sometimes the wait can be long, but every bite is worth the patience. The tiramisu for dessert is a must! " (*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*)
