The restaurant although quiet did not detract from the experience. Rather preferred it. Service by the ladies was excellent showing a good knowledge of the menu. Not rushed in anyway. My wife selected garlic bread starter commenting best she'd ever had. Followed by lasagne and wow what a serving dessert of fudge cake with chocolate ice-cream. I decided on the garlic mushrooms and a side of bread in basket. A Viva fillet in lemon and white wine sauce and chunky chips. Then Tiramisu A true wonder what should be hot was piping hot and what should be chilled was. Very good would visit again if in the area. Too far to travel. Loved it

Having been denied a number of last minute reservations as they have always been fully booked, we finally decided to book in advance and we didn’t regret it at all. We were afraid it could be slightly pretentious, but it was far from it. It was homely, with lovely service, with delicious and generous portions of beautiful Italian staples and the quality of it really reflected good value. We booked table again while paying the bill. Thank you and see you soon.

My husband and I went for dinner on Saturday night to belatedly celebrate our anniversary having recently moved to Barnes. We loved our evening at Riva and thought the food was delicious, wine lovely and the service was faultless. Our principal waiter was very friendly and we enjoyed chatting to him. We shared the antipasto to start and both had the tagliata di manzo followed by an affogato for dessert. We would definitely recommend and can't wait to go back!

As someone who has been a resident of Barnes for just over 16 year, other inhabitants will know this, we have seen a lot of boutique restaurants pop up and fade away (in some cases begrudgingly so.) So when the staff member of one of our pubs recommended RIVA as a new Italian place in Castlenaught, I was keen to experience it for myself. Perhaps the first red flag should have been the Domino's pizza the admirer was having delivered simultaneously. To be honest the staff were just average, a little rude laughing at certain questions, no check back at all to inquire how the evening was going (one of the first rules of service btw) and when we tried to cancel our mains assuming they would be on par with the starters, no one thought to ask why. We were told they were already being prepared... At the end of our meal we were met with an erratic attitude and a flurry of excuses.... this is not how you talk to guests, ever! She also said, "well when you asked if there is a pizza on the specials, I think maybe you don't know what kind of a place this is" and my personal favorite "I'm guessing you have a long way to walk home"... I have to assume that's because of our attire... I'm not even going to comment on that kind of profound ignorance. Now the food: Octopus - completely under cooked and served on old rocket and pretty much raw beans - I still have a stomach ache. Followed by lamb which had no flavor and was somewhat cold and old potatoes which were completely dry on the inside. My partner's food was little more to write home about, her starter would have been better coming from the pub across the road. All of that and a stomach ache to take home for an intended £102. The worst restaurant I've ever been to in this area for almost 2 decades.

This is a unique little place. There is zero design element to it (think bare walls, white paper tablecloths) - no bells and whistles whatsoever. But the service is super friendly, the menu is very good with just the right amount of options and the quality of the food is high. We will continue to return.

I am living abroad now, but one of my regrets is not being able to eat at Riva - the staff are intelligent and witty, fast and stylish - and remarkably, have been there since opening in 1990 - Mr Riva, the well-read, philosopher-restaurateur, never disappoints with either his wit and menu. I still have his copy of Schopenhauer (probably).

This is an old favourite where menu doesn't change much and quality/service is probably as good as anywhere in London. Everything is worth ordering and this is a destination of sorts in SW London.

Restaurante italiano sencillo y clásico con un hermoso interior. Tranquilo a la hora del almuerzo, pero esperado durante este tiempo, el camarero fue muy amable y encantador.Comí pulpo seguido de ñoquis, ambos tenían un excelente equilibrio de sabor, ninguno abrumador en ningún aspecto pero con mucho sabor; me recordó un poco a Daquise en South Kensington, que es comida sencilla y auténtica hecha con un estándar muy alto. No bebí, pero la carta de vinos estaba bien organizada y era sencilla, el margen parecía razonable.

We've tried to get a last minute table before but haven't been successful, however we managed to get a table last night (Tuesday). There was a buzzy yet intimate atmosphere. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive and highly professional. Most importantly, the food was INCREDIBLE. We started with octopus, which was seasoned sublimely and expertly charred.Then I had grilled Tuna steak (it was gigantic) and my partner had the squid, all perfectly tender and skilfully cooked with masterful, rich flavours. It is on the more pricey side (for us) but we were extremely satisfied with what we got for our money. It will be our choice of restaurant for the next special occasion.

I'm going to give this place 5 stars, even though I have some comments... The food was so good. Real, rustic homecooked Italian food, delivered in an informal setting. The surrounds to me almost felt like a film set. Specials every day - the Langoustines were everything I hoped for. My only negative is the wine list. Old, poorly put together and frankly boeing. Nothing aged, nothing interesting and only big names. This is where people go with money - the wine list needs as much attention as they put into sourcing the best ingredients.

The food was amazing. The setting is intimate and feels like a theatre set! My only gripe is the wine list. Nothing interesting, nothing aged and quite honestly very boring. If they put as much attention into the wine list as they do with their ingredients it would have everything. This is a place people with money go ... You would have thought that there is a place for a great wine list.

Yo y otros tres cenamos en Riva la semana pasada. Tenía muchas esperanzas teniendo en cuenta su reputación de ser un pionero de la moda de Londres.El servicio fue encantador y similar a lo que se puede esperar de un restaurante más céntrico, con estrellas michelin, que fue un buen toque. Para mi veneno opté por una media botella de Cianti bastante encantadora.Sin embargo, la comida era una bolsa mixta. Para empezar, tuve un plato de pasta con salchicha italiana y aunque la pasta era deliciosa y fresca y la salchicha agradable y rica en sabor, el plato en sí se sentía bastante básico y sin inspiración, como si faltara un tercer componente. Se sentía un poco como un bebé - comida.Tuve el mejor final de cordero para mi plato principal, que era hermoso y la ensalada y mostaza lo complementaron muy bien.El postre era un tiramisú dolorosamente normal que parecía haber sido abofeteado con entusiasmo en el plato, era comestible pero nada más.En general, volvería aquí para probar diferentes elementos del menú, pero esta experiencia fue algo decepcionante.

Cocinar comida italiana debería ser inspirador. Una visita a este restaurante fue de todo menos inspiradora: el salmón estaba seco y duro, y el postre no estaba hecho de bayas frescas. Por el precio - totalmente inaceptable. Lo único que era aceptable era el servicio, la camarera era agradable y servicial, pero la comida no era buena en absoluto. Tal vez el chef debería hacer un viaje a Italia, podría ayudar.

Que decepcion. . . un amigo y yo visitamos hace un par de meses para el almuerzo. Habíamos escuchado muchas cosas positivas y queríamos probar por nosotros mismos. En general, fue una experiencia bastante mediocre y con eso quiero decir de principio a fin. Elegante bienvenida informal, la comida fue extremadamente decepcionante, la cocina del viejo mundo sirvió como gotas en el plato y condimentos básicos (sal y pimienta). No hay rastro de los sabores fragantes de la cocina italiana con hierbas y un toque ligero. Bastante impactante en realidad. El restaurante, desafortunadamente, está atascado en una distorsión del tiempo, decorado (fuera), placas de producción de catering masivas baratas y ovaladas que recuerdan a los años ochenta, copas de vino de borde pequeño y grueso, camarero desatento que permanece ahí, probablemente porque el lugar estaba vacío y por primera vez Hora fuimos los únicos invitados. Claramente no es un destino para almorzar y tal vez si está lleno de gente por la noche, las deficiencias no son tan notorias o si hay más atención. Toda la experiencia fue decepcionante y es difícil imaginar que cualquier persona que no sea gente en las áreas cercanas que no quieran ir a la longitud de viajar a Londres se molestaría en visitarla. Muy caro también, e injustificadamente.

It's many many years since we've been to Riva and we thought we'd give it another try. Hardens (3 3 2) & Trip Advisor reviews are spot on. We really enjoyed the food and the service was generally very good albeit a little eccentric. The langoustines were fresh; the Mediterranean fish soup had lots of fresh seafood in it; the Osso Bucco had a strong pungent sauce and my Veal Milanese was unctuous and moist. Even the Italian apple strudel (not Austrian I was reminded!) was good too. What lets down this restaurant is the ambience & the owner. The restaurant looks as if it hasn't been painted since the 1970's with a dark brown ceiling, flaking paint on the interior doors, and a very uninspiring interior; and the owner chooses only to greet the regulars (one table on the night we were in) and hide behind his counter the rest of the time appearing to scowl and shake his head at the guests and the waiting staff. To cap it all we were charged £10 more for the Osso Bucco than we should have been which thankfully we noticed. A leading New York restaurateur called Danny Meyer extols the virtues of Enlightened Hospitality. This restaurant could learn a thing or two about it! So in summary a very enjoyable meal let down by a grumpy owner, a poor ambience and being overcharged.

A fine wine selection to complement the great fish, pasta and meat courses. Try the suckling pig, veal Milanese, or grilled langoustines. This place has a very loyal following , and if you want a table you really must book, sometime ahead preferably. I've been coming here for over 20-years and have never been dissatisfied. Amongst a sea of really good London restaurants, this is a truly great one. If you like then please 👍 . I"l riso nasce nell'acqua e deve morire nel vino".

Como muchos otros críticos, hemos estado yendo a este excelente restaurante italiano del vecindario durante varios años y somos grandes admiradores. Siempre esperamos una buena experiencia, así que es un poco decepcionante escribir una reseña de una noche en que las cosas no fueron del todo perfectas. El personal de la recepción fue excelente como siempre. El vino era bueno y nuestros entrantes, papardelle con ragout de liebre, verduras asadas y fiorelli rellenos de ricotta e higo en una maravillosa salsa de queso y coliflor fueron excelentes. Este último fue uno de los muchos especiales que parecen salir la mayoría de las noches y que siempre vale la pena prestar atención. La decepción leve (y fue solo leve) vino con los platos principales que eran buenos, pero no tan sabrosos como suele ser el caso. Las chuletas de cordero y una chuleta de ternera no tenían ese toque especial, pero el venado fue declarado hasta la marca habitual. Terminamos con una deliciosa tabla de quesos y un muy buen plato de panqueques en salsa de ciruela con helado de ciruela. . Me siento un poco culpable por ser crítico con un lugar que normalmente amamos, y con una comida que, seamos sinceros, fue bastante bueno para la mayoría de los lugares, pero sentimos que en esta noche en particular estaba un poco "fuera de lo común". hervir ". Esto ciertamente no evitará que regresemos, cuando estoy seguro de que se redimirán.

Tuvimos la suerte de llegar a este restaurante, que es muy popular con una sección de la población local, barnes.

Los platos de segundo piso eran, para mí - normal de Londres italiano. Ni de lejos tan buena como la anterior campos. Algunos también parecía ser de inspiración inglesa platos con un toque italiano.

La prueba de que la simple es a menudo mejor y perdurable. Grupo de viejos amigos que no habíamos visto otros por edades. ? Tomó una botella muy bonita y pagamos servir licor. Pedimos un blanco Soave.

I have eaten at most recognized Italian restaurants in London for years, but few have the same appeal as Riva. It offers a most authentic, true tasting, flavors-of-my-grandma Italian cuisine, with a service which reminds me of my childhood in Italy (even if Doro is actually Polish...). I have tried every dish and they are all delicious. But the two I keep coming back to are the spaghetti alle vongole and the cotoletta all Milanese. And I always conclude with a zabaione. Amazing Riva!

We dined here with friends. This restaurant fully deserves it's rave reviews. The food was beautifully cooked. The portions were more than adequate. The service friendly and efficient. What more could we ask. We will certainly return.

Having seen all the five star ratings, I was a bit disappointed. The food was mundane and yet pricey. The mediterranian fish soup was ok and the osso buco was a bit tougher than expected. Service was courteous and professional.

Only my second visit to Riva, and happily it was good as my first. Great service, friendly but efficient, with a buzzy atmosphere. All our starters were gorgeous, and I then had the Osso Bucco with saffron risotto. Wonderful flavours, and just what I needed on a cold December night. The only slight disappointment was my ice cream, which was lacking flavour as was meant to be nutmeg, but just too subtle. Obviously I still ate it all though! Overall a great dinner.

Lovely meal following homecoming from Texas. Monk fish was delightful and pasta starter was deliciously tasty. Dessert was divine. Good wine list and tasty coffee. Service was impeccable - helpful and efficient but not intrusive. Thank you!

I had not been to Riva for many years and Caroline had never been there so we were both interested in the outcome for different reasons.

Wed were a party of four who visited this nice Italian restaurant, located in Barnes. We had different courses which were all authentic Italian. The service and efficient and fast. It took us just one hour to order and consume a starter and main course.

Como residentes de Barnes, que eran muy conscientes de este restaurante de larga reputación permanente, pero en un número de ocasiones anteriores habíamos sido incapaces de conseguir una reserva. No es de extrañar, quizás, porque el restaurante es bastante pequeño. Finalmente, sin embargo, reservando con antelación, nos fueron exitosas en asegurar una mesa para la cena de mi esposa, yo y un amigo que estaba de visita desde Escocia. Qué excepcional noche tuvimos! Todo estuvo a la altura de nuestras expectativas, ya tranquilo y discreto ambiente, un servicio amable y eficiente, un variado menú mediterráneo, así como una tentadora de pecials del día'', lo cual hizo que nuestras opciones incluso más difícil! La carta de vinos no era enorme, pero era amplio y estaba incluido algunos vinos son bastante inusual y fascinante, en una variedad de precios. Cuando llegaron los platos, sin excepción, nos impresionó y totalmente satisfecho con el tamaño de la porción, la apariencia y, más importante, el sabor de cada plato. Bravo, Riva! Tenemos muchas ganas de volver si, por supuesto, el restaurante no es continuamente que vendidos, merece ser.

Excelente comida y un menú pequeño muy bueno con especialidades bien pensado. El personal es muy eficiente y amable, y el ambiente es relajado y familiar. Vale la pena una visita para todos es sin duda caro
