La Riva is a great spot for dinner, known for its tasty pizza and delicious appetizers like straccitella. The restaurant offers a variety of dishes, with favorites including bronzino, steaks, and pasta. Guests have enjoyed meals like the angry rigatoni, which features crumbled sausage in a unique and delectable sauce, and chicken picatta served with broccoli rabe in a delicious white wine sauce. While the baked rigatoni could use more sauce, the pepperoni pizza with hot honey is still a highlight, although some have found the pizza disappointing. The brick oven pizzas are popular, and the drink selection, especially the Negroni and cocktails, is excellent. Despite some busy nights leading to noise, the staff generally provides fast service and maintains a lively ambiance. La Riva stands out as a delicious dairy restaurant, making it a great option on the island for anyone looking for a satisfying dining experience.
