Riva Restaurant
Italian restaurant
Riva, the restaurant, is named after the legendary yachts and cruisers of Northern Italy. Inspired by the beauty and style of these Italian watercraft, we have sought to embody these qualities in the building with its grand terraces, gardens and fountain, the dining room's nautical influenced design, and the ambience and food.
Riva is located in the historic Golden Apple building which underwent an intensive restoration and renovation from 2010-2012, the dream of Joe and Lucie Pal. Read more
