Started with Burrata which had the most flavorful salad accompanying it. Followed up with broccoli and cheese omelette with potatoes. Omelette was beautifully done in a French omelette fashion and potatoes crispy and fluffy. Service was impeccable

I love In Riva! The food and service are excellent, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. They are kind to children, and accommodate their needs in a very thoughtful way. Parents can request small pizzas for each child, served very rapidly. These little pizzas are very popular with my grandsons. In Riva is a delightful restaurant, and my family and friends love it.
