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!

We just hosted a large birthday party at Riva Cucina with tremendous success. Jen and the Riva Cucina staff were amazing hosts, welcoming everyone as if we were part of their home. The food was amazing and the space was perfect. The birthday girl and guests continue to glow about what a perfect evening it was. Riva Cucina rocks!

We had a takeout order and it was fabulous. They have great vegetarian and vegan options. The handmade pasta is marvelous and the salads are thoughtful. I would love to see even more salad options because everything is so good!
