Before dinner had drinks at main bar in center of the lobby. Toad, the bartender took great care of us. Listen to Joe, pianist playing terrific music. Then had a delicious dinner in Riva. We both had the pasta Bolognese, outstanding! Dawn, our server was excellent.

Super fresh food! Everything has a lot of flavor. We got the Branzino and the shell pasta and split it. The branzino is super fresh, and very light. Recommend an app to go along with your meal. We did the meatballs and the purée was chefs kiss. Highly suggest going here. The ambiance is cute, very elegant. More than 5 starts if I can. Would go again.

Overpriced with cold ambience. No pleasant views from the dining room. Food was good but overpriced. Should have free valet for restaurant since there is no self parking. I felt like I was in Vegas with no Italian warmth. I will not return.

Three different servers introduced themselves as taking care of our table. The food was good but service was nonexistent. We sat for over 25 minutes with no one checking after we ate.

We have enjoyed Riva with visitors and with nearby friends and have never been disappointed. We especially like to order a number of appetizers which are always tasty and gives everyone a chance to taste something new. On our last visit, we found the octopus, fried artichokes and salmon tartare to be excellent.

Our waiter crafted an incredible meal for us. Our meal was simple, but delicious. The ambience reminds me of a cruise ship, they could’ve done a lot better decorating the space. It would be nice if the menu was a little more extensive, a wood fire pizza selection along with a great salad selection would make it an over the top experience. In the end, our service was so great that it made the meal better than it actually was. I think the restaurant caters to the folks that are staying on the grounds, I think they should reach out to the community and focus on more options and additional specials.
