Reviews

Our dining experience at Rivera restaurant was delightful! Welcoming personal and excellent services. The grilled calamari was a perfect start—fresh and tender.
On specials was pappardelle with chopped veal, dried tomatoes and mushrooms was a standout, boasting large portions of homemade pasta.
To top it off, the homemade tiramisu was the perfect sweet conclusion.
A must-try for those seeking quality Italian cuisine.

This a wonderful example of a small family-owned business providing an outstanding five star dining experience.
The wait staff wasn't hovering but was instantly available whenever we needed them.
There are plenty of options on the menu as well as an exceptional selection of specials.
I didn't see eggplant on the menu, so I asked if it was available; it was, and it was a close second only to my grandmothers.
I highly recommend it if you are looking for a suggestion! The entree portions are really large, so try to go easy on the bread they put out when you first sit down.
It is warm and some how perfectly crunchy and chewy at the same time.
We joked about eating just the bread and taking our dinners to go! This seems to be a popular restaurant within the local community, the owners greeted regulars by name and seemed legitimately happy to seat guests new and old.
We will definitely be back soon.

Great food.
Excellent service.
The chicken parm was huge.
Great overall experience.
