"Early dinner last night in the bar. First Christin the bartender is so nice and does a great job as the bar went from empty to packed while we were there. Our server Matt also did a great job as well. The menu has changed recently and the food we ordered was delicious. We shared arancini in Riva red sauce and they were crisp on the outside and loaded with fontina cheese on the inside. My wife had Bolognese with wide noodles which has been on the menu before and loved it. I tried the Tuscan burger which was a meatball recipe juicy burger loaded with flavor served with great crispy fries. Obviously Riva’s recent focus on enhancing their food is paying off as evidenced by the size of the crowd waiting for tables when we left."

The food was exceptional. The hostess was very courteous. The waiter could use some improvement in being more friendly, but overall it was a great experience. View menu

This restaurant offers superb service as well as delicious menu. My favourite restaurant in the area. The food and drinks served quickly and the rates are economical. Highly recommended.
Kim
We cannot praise this restaurant enough! The food is incredible. Ever since relocating from New York City and Connecticut, we have been searching for a great place to dine on Friday nights. The only downside is that it is small and gets crowded quickly. We do wish that the menu would vary a bit more.

I just found out from a kitchen employee at Riva that the restaurant is closing for good due to the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic on September 19. It's heartbreaking to see Riva leaving our town of Scituate, but we hope that another great restaurant will take its place in the future. It's devastating to see yet another restaurant lost to the pandemic, which could have been prevented with earlier action. Goodbye Riva, you will be missed. View menu

I decided to try out this restaurant for takeout over the weekend since I couldn't dine out. As a New Yorker, I am used to small portions and pricey salmon dishes, but I was shocked to receive a $28 salmon dish that came with only a tiny piece of salmon, 5 pieces of gnocchi, and HALF A CUP OF MELTED BUTTER. I was confused and disappointed, and it felt like they were taking advantage of the current situation where customers can't inspect the food before leaving. I will not be coming back and I suggest checking your food before you drive away with your takeout order.

My wife and I went to Riva for dinner last night for the first time and had a fantastic experience. We both loved our meals and wanted to share our positive review. I ordered the chicken marsala, which had a crispy coating and was served with perfectly cooked noodles. My wife had the short ribs and said they were incredibly tender, so much so that they practically fell apart with just a fork. Joseph, our server, was friendly, funny, and helpful throughout our meal. Overall, it was a perfect dining experience with delicious food, great service, and a cozy atmosphere. What more could you ask for?
