Restaurant was almost empty at 6pm. Margarita was $24. Food was ok but expensive. Valet parking charged $10 Service was ok Menu choices were new but still need work. Live Local but doubt will return.

Beautiful location, food was not worth the price at all. The breading on my calamari fell off every piece and the bread was stale. Very disappointed in the experience but the resort is stunning. Drinks were great, but the base was $14 plus $23 for tequila to make it a “margarita”

We had an incredible dinner while staying at St Regis. Their sweet corn burrata with gulf shrimp was stellar and unforgettable! We also had the seafood black ink pasta which was delicious.

It's breakfast by day and Italian dinner by night. We had breakfast here for three out of the five nights we stayed here and had dinner one night. And dined at CW Prime and places on the island. Fine, attentive service by DAWN who served us for breakfast. Great coffee that gave us that morning boast for the day. We opted for the Great buffet, plenty of great choices, fresh fruit, scrambled eggs, sausages, crispy bacon, breads and bagels and cereal for the kiddies, fresh waffles and an egg station which was manned by AARON who made me three fried eggs, sunny side up, no flipping and no cover every morning !!! So perfect and the way I love my eggs!!! TY!!!🍳🍳🍳🥓🥓🥓🧇🧇🧇 For dinner, one evening, we had ANDREW who was on top of his game, knowledgable about the menu and specials, answered all of our questions about the entrees and the way the chef preps the dishes. A bottle of Amarone Tommasi started our night for my wife and I. Our friends had a Prosecco Rose, and a few JW Black for my buddy. For our apps we all shared the rice balls, meatballs, and the Burrata. All three were just delightful, full of rich flavor, seasoned perfectly, and hitting the spot. We ate up all the focaccia bread and dipped it in the sauces!!! For our main entrees, my wife had the Chicken Milanese, I had a spaghetti with bolognese sauce, our friends had the corn and ricotta Agnolotti with shrimps and my buddy had the Squid Ink Pasta. All four entrees were absolutely Delish, flavorful, fresh made in house pasta, and hitting our palates with satisfying results!!! Paired it with our wine and we were very happy!!! Overall, great food, this is the only place in the resort for sit down breakfast, and Italian dinner, superb service from Dawn and Andrew. We will be back!!!🍽️🍽️🍽️🍷🍷🍷🍝🍝🍝🥓🥓🥓🧇🧇🧇🍳🍳🍳

Everything was delicious. We had several pasta plates in our group (gnocchi, rigatoni, squid pasta) and chocolate cake dessert. The wine selection is a little restricted but solid. The kid meals are plenty, and the mac n cheese is impressively made from scratch with handmade pasta and cheese sauce. It is pricy, but hey it’s inside St Regis…

Located inside of St. Regis offers breakfast and dinner. Fresh made pasta. The star was the flordia citrus and beet salad. The squid linguine was a little bit salty, although perfectly cooked Al dente, and the rigatoni was a bit on the bland side . The kids buttered pasta and rigatoni with meat sauce was excellent . Very good service and family friendly.

I ate here both nights of my recent stay. Jose is a 5 star waiter. So kind, so personable, and went above and beyond to make my 6 year old daughter feel special on her birthday weekend.
Food was great. Drinks were great. Ambience was great. Would definitely return.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I celebrated my birthday at Riva and it was a truly unforgettable experience. The atmosphere is elegant and welcoming, perfect for a special occasion.
Every dish we ordered was delicious—the shrimp pasta was flavorful and perfectly cooked, the Caesar salad was crisp and fresh, and the tiramisu was rich and authentic. I also had the gelato, and it was the perfect refreshing treat to end the evening.
The service was excellent—attentive and warm. Highly recommend Riva for a memorable dining experience in Longboat Key!

The service was great, food was excellent, atmosphere can’t be beat! This was by far our best experience dining in Sarasota so far since living here the past 4 months. Most places are casual. This is fine dining in a more relaxed atmosphere. If you like fine dining or excellent Italian food, go here!
