La Riviera Reviews
I dinned here for the first time in 1993. The atmosphere was one of no frills solid food and portions. We moved out of the area shortly there after and returned again just a few days ago. While under new management, the food was every bit as good as it was all those years ago and the staff put the "pleasant" in Pleasantville.
The Food is very Tasty and Sara was very friendly helpful with the wine 😉
Delicious food in a comfortable atmosphere

La Riviera in Pleasantville is a charming restaurant that offers authentic Italian cuisine in a warm and inviting atmosphere. Nestled on a quiet side street, it has been a local favorite for many years, known for its vintage charm and nostalgic feel. The menu features classic dishes such as chicken parm, lasagne, chicken with spinach and mozzarella, veal, penne alla vodka, and homemade potato croquettes. Specialties like crab cakes and linguine vongole in white sauce showcase the chef’s skill, while baked clams, calamari, and family-style salad bring fresh, flavorful elements to the table. The food is consistently fresh, well-prepared, and beautifully plated, with many dishes reminding guests of traditional Sunday dinners at an Italian relative’s home. The staff, including Sarah and Rudy, are friendly, attentive, and professional, making diners feel welcomed and comfortable. Notable highlights include memorable homemade bread, a delicious cosmopolitan cocktail, and a variety of specials that keep the menu interesting. La Riviera’s vintage atmosphere, combined with the quality of food and service, makes it a great spot for quiet dinners, gatherings, or special occasions, ensuring many guests return for its delightful and nostalgic experience.
