In Riva is the first venture by Philadelphia-born chef Arthur Cavaliere who has combined the similarities of his two favorite cities—Naples and Philadelphia—to deliver an unparalleled culinary experience. Sticking with the Italian translation of its name, In Riva is located "along the banks" of the Schuylkill River in East Falls.

In Riva is a Southern Italian inspired restaurant with urban flair, specializing in Napoletana style pizza, house-made pasta and contemporary antipasti. In Riva also offers an eclectic array of new and old world wines, Italian craft beers and racy specialty cocktails.

    Good food and good waitstaff. The restaurant did not honor our reservation. The host offered no explanation nor assistance. After about 15 minutes we asked if there were any options and were told we could sit outside. We did so because our whole party was already on site - but we had reserved an INDOOR table and CONFIRMED our reservation. To no avail.

    The food is delicious. We really enjoyed the broccolini Caesar, pizza, and ravioli. The atmosphere is relaxing.

    The food was very creative and superbly prepared. Our waiter was very engaging and helpful with making suggestions for a less adventurous eater. All of us were thrilled with the experience. A wonderful dinner.

    A nice leisurely dinner with family after a day of doing some work around the apartment. It was a delicious meal in a casual setting.

    Branzino appetizer was generous in size and well prepared; very lemony. We found both pasta dishes too salty.
