Lovely place, great servers and beautiful decor. Loved it! Food was yummy.
The staff are working so hard to keep the restaurant safe and still operating, very professional and pleasant too. The food was very good, huge portions, tasty, had to take some away with us! Unfortunately it was the biggest storm of the year and we were in the draughty area of the restaurant, would have preferred the other side to be honest. Also don't like a big screen TV on in a restaurant while I'm trying to enjoy a nice meal but that might just be me.
Staff were lovely, helpful and obliging but the meal not so satisfying. Calamari starter was very, very salty. I then had the lasagne which had barely any meat in it, small portion and had been microwaved to it's death! Burnt all around the edges and a very messy plate. Fried sweet potatoes were also very overdone. Then cocktails which were below average. I'm afraid I would not recommend Riva.
Friendly as always and handing Covid rules so well. Great food and cocktails
The starters were delicious. Prawns and leeks in white wine for me and scallops with bacon for my wife. Generous portions but correspondingly pricey!
Lovely meal during lockdown!! Good food and sun shining thanks
Food lovely with big portions and looking out onto waterfront. Staff attentive
The atmosphere was excellent & the staff were very friendly. We had one issue in that the Chicken Wings starter was undercooked, but this was dealt with very professionally.
Fabulous welcome and food as always thanks Mario and Team
Lovely evening with the family. Up on a visit from Devon to spend some time with our son. Lovely food and great service with a smile.
Exceptional food, excellent service and a very nice atmosphere with some wonderful live music.
service very good but food (pasta and veg) quite bland
Pizza not really good quality before was really delicious now something changed
Excellent service and livery food will definitely be back x
Absolutely love Riva. Recently moved to the area and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. The food is great and bonus, dogs are also allowed.
Amazing foods, ambience & very accommodating staffs.... will definitely go back again!
Enjoyed our lunch family birthday so all went well thankd
Family dinner staff were wonderful and kids loved meeting Santa. Fantastic for the price
I booked the table on behalf of my mother, who was coming in with my father and friend. she requested the lunch time menu and was advised that there was no lunch menu and would have to choose from the al a carte. this adding an extreme amount to the bill. Given that they are pensioners this came as quite a shock.
Service and atmosphere were excellent, pizze were tasteless, dough should be more crusty. Salsiccia wasn’t good.
Staff lovely. Food delicious. Love the decor. Will definitely be back and will recommend to friends.
Lovely setting for a quiet chat and a delicious meal. Staff very attentive and helpful.
Nice place to eat and Good food. Well worth a visit
Had a lovely fillet steak and was served by the lovely waiter Hamish! Definitely be back!
waitress was excellent and very good knowledge about the food being served. Everyone enjoyed their meal and all six of us would certainly return.
The food as always was fabulous, just love to come.Its so relaxing, when my family come from Glasgow this is the place they like to eat and drink.Thsnk you for another great day
Very warm welcome and cosy atmosphere. Waiter happy to chat with us about the menu. good service. GREAT food! A very nice touch having lemoncello to end the meal..on the house! How often does that happen these days?! Very good value for money and would highly recommend Riva to anyone...Sugar boat is not on a par with this lovely Italian restaurant!! Well done guys..we will be back!
Great night food was very nice. Could do with some decent ales on draft. But apart from that a really nice experience
Good visit to Riva. Food was nice and good atmosphere. Starter and main was really good. Desert was a bit disappointing for what you got.
Apart from a very limited wine list we had a wonderful time. Staff all excellent
Great place to eat. The staff are friendly, the food is delicious.
Attentive staff great food, was a wee tad noisy for a bit due to “happy” dinners close buy. But did it did not detract from the experience.
First visit to Riva but will definitely be back. There was 3 of us all with different tastes including 1 vegetarian The service was excellent and the decor is lovely. We had pizza and calzone all which were very good. Especially liked that the dough was very fluffy and light. Would definitely recommend a visit!
This was a really lovely meal start to finish. All 4 of us rated the food, drink, service & cost highly.... and we are fussy gits. Could not fault it. Keep up the great work Maverick, Mario and the team. We will be back for sure.
The food and service was very good thanks very much
Thoroughly enjoyed the full experience on dining at your restaurant
Thoroughly enjoyed our first visit to Riva. Good food, great atmosphere and enjoyed the live music. Will definitely go back.
Loved Riva...friendly attentive staff and delicious food. The whole place had a nice feel to it.
Lovely evening with nice live music in background! Staff lovely and friendly and funny. Great wee night!! Lovely food! So enjoy it here! We were over 30 mins late and although we’d telephoned ahead to say so, staff were lovely!
Wow what a find. First time visit but will have many more. Superb food - medium rare ribeye, perfectly cooked melted in mouth - Ab Fab spaghetti carbonara with a smoky flavour - bruschetta perfectly seasoned - all that and attentive and friendly staff. This perfect evening was rounded off by live music from Paul Michael. Highly recommend.
