Riva, located inside the St. Regis, offers both breakfast and dinner in a family-friendly setting. The restaurant features fresh made pasta and a variety of Italian dishes. Guests frequently enjoy the sweet corn burrata with gulf shrimp, which is described as stellar and unforgettable, along with the seafood black ink pasta. For breakfast, the buffet provides plenty of choices, including fresh fruit, scrambled eggs, sausages, crispy bacon, breads, bagels, cereal, and fresh waffles, all served with attentive service. The egg station, staffed by a dedicated staff member, prepares perfect fried eggs every morning. Dinner options include pasta dishes like squid linguine, rigatoni, and gnocchi, as well as meat-based entrees such as Chicken Milanese. The pasta is noted for being flavorful, fresh, and homemade, with some dishes like the rigatoni described as a bit bland, while others, like the squid linguine, are perfectly cooked but slightly salty. Appetizers such as rice balls, meatballs, and burrata are highly praised for their rich flavor. The wine selection is solid but somewhat limited. Service from staff members like Dawn and Andrew is described as great, attentive, and knowledgeable. Overall, Riva provides delicious food, attentive service, and a family-friendly atmosphere, making it a popular spot for both breakfast and dinner during a stay at the resort.
