Riva Cucina

I have not dined-in yet as they were pick up only when I ordered. The pick up service was excellent and easy! The intoxicating smells from the food filled my car's atmosphere instantly. I went from 0-100 in terms of hunger. Absolutely delicious! Prices more than fair. Honestly, a great hidden, random treat for myself.

Will definitely be returning again. Hopefully, to dine-in next time!

Location was kinda hard to find. We originally went to the back of the restaurant. LOL.
Once we found the place it’s on point! I ordered the old fashioned and it’s goooood.
They have a good wine selection too. The clam on the shell is bomb. Our risotto and ravioli appeared to be small on portion but it’s just right! Not too much not too little and the flavor is good!! Love this place def on the pricier side. Make reservations! This is(was?) Michelin star restaurant I think and could get crowded. We were lucky it was busy on that Saturday night when we were there.

Sauce as good as my mom's! I haven't tasted food this fresh, authentic, and flavourful in a long whle! What a gem of a restaurant! I had the Bolognese sauce over a gluten-free pasta. To-die-for! It was full of flavour, without being heavy or salty. The anti-pasta was large enough to feed the three of us, and the cocktail selection, bountiful! A perfect, cozy ambience and the lovely staff will keep us coming back for more!

We got a couple paninis and a bowl of soup to share. Everything was delicious. The panini bread doesn't cut my gum like some do, it's nice and soft with a just enough crunch. The portion is a little small for me, I felt like I could eat more (but probably shouldn't?) after finishing everything. Price is reasonable and the staff was friendly. Will come back again to try their pasta next time.

Ordered the branzino w/arugula and roasted potatoes, it was flavorful and delicious. The woman ordered the bolognese and said it was very good. Atmosphere was very nice and upscale. For drinks, ordered an old fashioned, it was one of the best I've had. The woman ordered a margarita and it was also well made w/a hint of heat. Our server/waitress was great!
