La Riv Wood Fired Italian

We recently visited La Riv Wood Fired Italian, and it was a wonderful experience! The staff was friendly and accommodating, and the ambiance was warm and inviting. We ordered the Carne pizza and Spaghetti Carbonara—both were outstanding. The pasta was rich and flavorful, and the pizza crust was perfectly crisp and delicious. It was hard to choose between dishes, but next time I’ll definitely be trying the Shrimp Scampi! Highly recommend this spot for anyone who loves authentic Italian food.

My love and I had an excellent dinning experience. The food was exquisite, the cocktails were perfect and the night was excellent! Our server recommended incredible delights and im glad I've chosen the octopus. You should try it too!😉 My compliments ☺️ 💛

We dined here tonight and were so surprised by this place! We are very picky when it comes to authentic Italian and have lived all over this country on both coasts and traveled in Italy and eaten a lot of Italian food. This place is legit. We got the burrata salad and it was so fresh and so delicious! We also got the focaccia bread and it comes with a delicious marinara and a smoked butter that is really good. We got Cacio e Pepe and it was authentic and delicious! It was advertised with DOP pecorino and the flavor was perfect. The homemade pasta is good and was cooked perfectly. My husband got the gnocchi and they actually pan fry it and it’s crispy. The sauce isn’t heavy on the cream and it’s not very spicy but it has great flavor too. He got a tequila old fashioned that was really good (a little sweet but simple and well done). We skipped dessert because we were in a hurry. Service was wonderful and our server was cheerful and attentive. We will be back!

We had a fantastic experience at La Riv. It was our first time and we were impressed with the ambiance, food and service. We arrived early for a Thursday evening reservation but we were seated immediately and were able to choose the table. The cheese board and shrimp appetizer were good, the main meals were excellent. The wine was good too. The prices are high but definitely worth it. Great restaurant in a good location. Highly recommended.

This was our first visit to La Riv, and it was exceptional! We started with the focaccia bread, followed by the octopus, then the grilled wedge salad. My wife had the salmon (cooked perfectly) and I had the short rib pappardelle (tender and flavorful). We added a bottle of Chianti Riserva from their extensive wine list. A few things stood out for us … (1) the arrival host was very pleasant and welcoming, (2) our server gave us great advice on selections, (3) our food was staged perfectly and we didn’t feel rushed at all. We thoroughly enjoyed every course and the atmosphere was very nice. Overall, our experience was excellent and we will be back!

We celebrated Father's day here, my husband really like Italian food, so every now and then I hunt for new places to eat. My husband says it's ok but for me it's not what I expected. It's quite a lil formal restaurant which we really like. However, the food is not that flavorful. We are expecting more flavor and for the price we hope to have a good serving but we are all wrong. About the service, he's a nice guy but inattentive. I know it's a busy day but we saw him many times just on the side of the kitchen. For the restaurant that requires you to have 22% tip as minimum we expect a superb service. We are good with tipping especially if the service provided is excellent.

My wife and I ate dinner here. The octopus was so delicious. So was the beet salad. The short rib tagliatelle and gnocchi were outstanding. The tiramisu and bread pudding were also so good. Good service too despite it being packed.

Donny was our server and he was the best! The food was incredible. I loved the ambience as well. We celebrated our anniversary.
