What a wonderful meal! The string bean salad, the veal, and the homemade cheesecake. A lovely welcoming atmosphere and Sarah makes an amazing cosmopolitan! The fresh bread alone was memorable, as was the Pinot Noir. I look forward to dinner there again soon!

A true revived gem! This restaurant brings back the nostalgia of Sunday dinners at an Italian relative’s home. The food is authentic and delicious. The dressing on the family style salad brought back memories of my mom’s simple and tasteful oil and vinegar dressing. The chicken marsala, penne alla vodka, and homemade potato croquettes were all so good and flavorful. The atmosphere is a classic throwback, and Sarah, our server, made us feel very welcomed. So glad this place has been brought back. It’s a definite must try!

I am enjoying a delicious dinner of crab cakes and linguine vongole in white sauce. The flavors were wonderful and the chef, Rudy, does a great job with all the dishes. The menu is a mix of classic Italian dishes, as well as delicious specials. Attentive staff, both front and back of house.

Another delicious meal at the Riviera. Great food at an affordable price. The place is so consistent. Old school Italian restaurant. It's in out the way place but do yourself a favor and find it. You won't be disappointed.

Love this place. Out of the way location. Simple but tasty Italian food. Excellent value and very friendly staff.

This used to be our weekly Friday night,” let’s celebrate the beginning of the weekend place.” Under new owners it’s regained its sparkle! The atmosphere is relaxed, the food is great and affordable, its staff couldn’t be more friendly and accommodating. Check it out! You can have a conversation! Great to bring kids or catch up with friends.

Delicious food and friendly atmosphere; lasagna bolognese, scrod special, green beans with Gorgonzola, carrot cake are excellent. Ingredients are fresh and scrumptious; prices reasonable for fine-quality Italian food. My new go-to spot in Pleasantville!

Good food, generous portions, great prices.

This is a gem; unbeatable prices for excellent food. Italian classics and then some fresh takes such as the green bean salad with Gorgonzola. The clams oreganata were also out of this world, and the made-to-order chicken parm. Service and atmosphere were excellent. Good music but not too loud. I will be back for the fettuccine carbonara. This is the local hangout of my dreams!

This place is great! Recently under new management, and the pricing is really good especially given the quality. Standouts were the clams oreganata, green bean salad with Gorgonzola and the chicken parm. Can’t wait to come back.
New owners. Same great food. Best bargain in town. A Pleasantville classic Beats the pricey options in town

Food was bland (no garlic). Salad was nothing but iceberg lettuce. We had to call the server numerous times. We were ignored by everyone except the busboy. Never go back again.

My family and I celebrated Mother's Day here. We arrived at 4:00 and had the whole restaurant to ourselves at first because they generally don't open until 4:30 which was great because our grandchildren were free to walk around. The food and service were very good. My shrimp scampi over broccoli rabe was delicious as were the mussels and clams oreganata. My husbands fettucine alfredo was light and flavorful. Everyone was satisfied with their dinner and the prices are reasonable. Bathroom needs updating. We will be back.

Worst meal experience I’ve ever had this place probably still is only in business because of old locals that don’t know any better what an actual dump sitting in somebody’s basement Fly’sbuzzing around while trying to eat salad out of a bag made the stupid mistake of ordering fish that was the worst thing I’ve ever tasted in my life never been to such a bad restaurant in a long time. Ordered a soda they came out of a can. Diet soda look at the date on the bottom it was expired by like two years my parents took me here, and I frankly I was embarrassed for them. The guy serving the food was disheveled and his clothes are dirty. It was really disgusting. The health department needs to take a look at this place Time to just close down and pack it in.
