La Riva Reviews
Went there last night for dinner. Had the pickled vegetable, the romaine salad and the clam pizza. This was more than enough for 2 people. Everything was good and it’s nice to have another year round option in Barnegat Light
Great upscale dining experience on LBI! We had a terrific meal and the server and staff were very attentive and courteous.
Went to la riva on a Thursday and it was amazing pizza! MAYA was our bartender and she is amazing! She’s the most gorgeous charismatic bartender you’ll encounter on the island…. I’ll follow this girl anywhere she works 10/10 for maya drinks were on point as was the conversation you won’t regret spending time with her !

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.
