Reviews for Riviera Ristorante in Santa Rosa, CA

Randomly picked Riviera Ristorante because I was craving some Italian food and Marin Joe's was too far away. Very happy with our... choice. We didn't have reservations s and they found us a table anyway. Staff was awesome. Louisa "Lu" took great care ofus. Highly recommend this place! Read more

The food we had was awesome. The service we received was less than spectacular. The lamb shank and lamb ravioli were great. The... waitress ran over to our table and in a rush said, "the specials are on the board". She pointed to a board on the wall acrossfrom us and RAN off without saying anything more. She came back and said, "Hi. What do you want?" She didn't even make eyecontact with us. She took my wife's order then looked over her shoulder and said to me, "what do you want?" I placed my orderand she rushed off without saying anything. She didn't refill our water or wine during our meal. To me, food is only half of theequation. Good service makes a great experience.

Came in with no reservation and the restaurant exceeded our expectations. They tried to fulfill our seating requests to the best... of their abilities. We ordered pasta and the hazelnut mousse. Our food was paced well and tasted amazing. The staff is veryfriendly and it felt like they cared about their guests having a good time. I highly recommend you go. Read more

I had read such wonderful reviews about this restaurant and now I know why ???? Everything was so delicious. My pasta was... fantastic. I shared their calamari with my friend and we loved it. The staff was so friendly. It was packed when we got there.We didn't have a reservation, so I recommend making one before you go there. I'll definitely be going back!! Read more

What a phenomenal place to enjoy excellent food and good company! The owners and their staff are great people who take great... care in serving their customers. I had a dinner with some co-workers and it was great! We started with the absolute bestappetizers ever! The calamari was excellent but the bruschetta was off the hook!! Best I?ve ever had. For dinner we had somechicken, pork, salmon and I had the risotto with lobster! It was soooooo good! Highly recommend this place. I drove an hourand a half to be there and I would do it again!
