a'Riva

We decided to try a’Riva for Sunday lunch, and I have to say—it was absolutely delicious! We started with the Caesar salad, which was incredibly fresh and flavorful. Next, we enjoyed the Bolognese pasta; the homemade pasta made it truly exceptional. We also shared the chicken sandwich, served on soft, flavorful focaccia bread—simply delicious! The service was outstanding, and the restaurant’s decor is beautiful and inviting. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I can’t wait to come back!

Came in for brunch/lunch and was overwhelmed in the best way possible in brunch menu possibilities from French toast to sushi to pasta! Our group couldn’t decided so we got one of each. The harbor club sandwich was executed perfectly with juicy chicken to a unique Caesar salad the avocado was a plus. The Bellini service was a nice touch; not a basic mimosa. The bartender Dan was very sweet and accommodating with our flavors. He was very helpful with recommendations and gave us great, attentive service.

A’Riva A’rrived in Sunset Harbor around October ‘24. Yet I bet you have not tried it out. It is by far the best restaurant in Sunset Harbor, in fact one of the best in Miami Beach. So get your ass down there and try it. We have been going for Saturday brunch for the last few months. It’s truly wonderful. It’s also attached to the new members club The Harbor Club. The food is wonderful, the chef is incredible, even the pastries are all freshly baked in house. The service is wonderful such a lovely team. Can’t rate it highly enough

A gem is born in Sunset Harbor. Let me welcome a new and special addition to our neighborhood. The food was quite excellent, with twists to old favorites, like Caesar salad; while introducing new and unique pastas, such as those with zucchini flowers and more. The lamb chops were “ just right” as were the desserts. The food was excellent and the service was impeccable. Kudos to Laura and the entire staff who are professional, friendly and observant. In fact, I am one of those lactose intolerant people and the chef was quite accommodating. The homemade sorbet was so creamy I was afraid that milk was used ( but it was not.) A Riva has that “Buzz” that lets you know that this is a special place, with an upbeat feel, that welcomes people for lunch, dinner and Sunday brunch.

This is the best restaurant I have been to in many years in Miami Beach. Sophisticated atmosphere but also a trendy vibe and very welcoming. Service was incredible. I have a food allergy and the attention to detail keeping my meal safe and delicious was better than any restaurant I have visited anywhere. Food presentation was beautiful but the taste and quality were the best part. I will return many times. I got the crudite plate and other people I went with said the homemade pasta and sea bass were amazing. Also homemade bread and gluten free bread!

I've been to a’Riva multiple times for brunch and dinner, and I can confidently say it’s amazing every single time. For brunch, you absolutely can’t go wrong with the Pistachio French Toast—it’s a must-try! When it comes to dinner, I have a few favorite dishes. The Crudo Trio is fresh and beautifully presented, a perfect start to the meal. The Harbour Club Caesar is another fave because they do a refreshing twist on a classic. And the Chilean Seabass—simply superb. That said, it’s difficult to go wrong here because everything I’ve tried has been delicious. Whether it’s appetizers, mains, or desserts, the food is always spot-on. Beyond the food, the staff at a’Riva are incredibly friendly and attentive. They go above and beyond to ensure your dining experience is perfect. You can tell they genuinely care about providing a top-tier experience. I can’t recommend a’Riva enough. I’m already looking forward to my next meal here. If you're looking for a place that consistently delivers in every aspect, this is it!

What an amazing surprise. The food incredible. The simple Ceasar salad is hardly simple. The crude fresh and delicious. I had the veal ragu pasta. Harry and Ashley made the experience top notch. Attentive but not intrusive. Will return for sure.

delicious food, fantastic ambience - a little like a NYC west village upscale restaurant. Great cocktails, bar feels like a speakeasy. Service is amazing. (little expensive for the area though)
