Riva Blu Italian Restaurant & Cocktail Bar, Birmingham in Birmingham

Excellent food with a wonderful ambiance and perfect service the staff are super friendly Can’t wait to come back 😍😍😍

I was at this restaurant last week to celebrate a friend’s birthday. We were really astonished by the dinner, the service, and the atmosphere. We were served a lot of delicious dishes, especially the seafood. La uo The staff were very friendly and cheerful. We had a great time and would like to go back another day. I really recommend it.

It was supposed to be a birthday occasion but the surprise dessert had nuts in it and I had already clarified I was nut free twice that night! Definitely ruined my experience!

Place was recommended for eating in, was a nice interior, but we won't be going back. We ordered our food, and due to traffic, getting there we was in a bit of a hurry, and was late by 10mins to our table time. They only had one person taking orders, and had to wait a while to get our order taken. We saw our food on the serving area, and ask a waitress about our food and was rudely told, it was not her fault we was late, but the food had been sitting there for 5 mins !! And then one person's order had not been cooked, and waited 5mins for that to come out, and we requested the starters to come with mains, and we had to ask for them. Maybe the chefs should have spent less time looking at their mobile phones, and checked the orders. That's a problem when you have an open kitchen in front of the customers, customers can see everything. We had said it was our daughter's graduation day, and very nice, we thought from them, with our asking they brought out a glass of prosecco for her. We had to rush off, and left our friends to sort the bill out. When we met them later, the restaurant had, had the cherk to charge us for the prosecco, that we had not ordered. And for that reason, and rudeness of a waitress, I am rating it as I have. NOTE TO ALL, check your bill, for any "supposed complementary items" Shame as food was good.

We came here for my niece's graduation day celebration, the food was very good as was the ambience and decor of the restaurant, the staff were helpful. The pizzas deserve a mention, there's not a huge range but what was on offer was very good pizza, so I recommend them. What was annoying was the £9 charge for the glass of "graduation" Prosecco which was brought out unsolicited, so we'd reasonably expected it was gratis as we hadn't ordered it. I hadn't noticed it when checking the bill after everyone else had left but if I had I would've requested it be taken off as in opinion it was snuck on to the bill. A 10% service charge was added because of our group size. Overall a nice meal and happy occasion spoiled by craftiness with the apparently-but-not free glass of Prosecco.

Francesco was amazing very welcoming! Food was so tasty and there were lots of choice. Best pizza I’ve ever had!! We will be returning :)

Amazing service and food! The staff are so friendly, the place is really beautiful and really feels like we are somewhere in Italy 🇮🇹

Booked for birthday meal and loved it! The decor is stunning Staff all super friendly including Franceso Cocktails were amazing For main I had pasta with clams which tasted really good- recommend this dish for seafood lovers Dessert I had the choux bun again recommend to anyone with a sweet tooth to try Toilets located downstairs but super clean Overall loved the meal and enjoyed the atmosphere

Great service, and even better food! Sharing starter platter was plentiful with a good selection of cheese, bread and hams, and portion sizes of mains are perfect.

Discriminated because I was smoking a cigar outside the front where it is a designated smoking area - was told too extinguish my cigar as people where eating - in my opinion you should not be able to tell people what they can or can’t smoke . Like saying you can’t have a cherry vape only a strawberry flavoured one Absolutely disgraceful service and disrespect The gentleman in the photos should be highly ashamed -
