5 of us arrived without reservations on a very busy summer evening. The hostess was exceptionally helpful multitasking to ensure we were seated as quickly as possible. The very ambitious but well priced menu worried me but every order exceeded our expectations for flavour quality and presentation. The alcohol menu was well chosen. Staff were great! Highly recommend this beautiful Italian dining location. Next time we will make reservations!
Lovely ambience. Light music so you could have a conversation easily. Incredible drink selection. Comfortable seating. We had a soft seat booth. Foid was done lovely. Server Nolan was very helpful and friendly.
First: FIVE STARS FOR JUSTIN! He's a great server! He's friendly and professional and doesn't miss anything to do with his tables. Second: (Sadly) we have to say THE FOOD WAS NOT MEMORABLE (TWO STARS AT BEST). We'll give it another go simply because we loved Beacon Landing for all those years and hope(d) that Riva would match the same local-cuisine-attention that we enjoyed previously. Cheers!
We came back to the restaurant that my now better half had our first date 16 years ago. The Beacon is closed but the Riva was a great upgrade. The meal was wonderful and Justin our server made it even more memorable.
PS. Justin really does deserve a raise. :) We really enjoyed his wit and made the night for both of us.
Cheers

Four of us dined at Riva the past two evenings for dinner. We found the food and service to be excellent! The menu offers many different Italian choices and allergies/preferences are accommodated with no problem. The meals are tastefully presented and flavours are delicious. Our server, Meryl was very attentive and helpful. We highly recommend this restaurant! Very cozy atmosphere as well. Thank you for two great evenings!!
