    Excellent experience! I’ve taken my friends to Riviera a few times, and all of them absolutely love it here. The restaurant is welcoming and beautifully decorated. The menu offers a great selection of dishes, and one of my favorites is the truffle gnocchi. The octopus is also impeccable. I will definitely come back and recommend it to everyone!

    The experience from entering the venue to be sat at a table and ordering drinks was so bad that we had to leave it without ordering anything. 1. Broken escalator and lift 2. Strong smell from the toilet across the dining room even after changing tables to be positioned further from the toilets 3. Manager trying to sell us different vintages of wines to what was listed on the menu, patronising us by telling that wine estates run out of vintages instead of apologising for their menu not corresponding to the actual wine stock. We tried 3 different bottles and the situation was the same. We wanted an older wine but were presented with younger vintages. If you are a Londoner, this place is definitely not for you. It's a tourist trap! Disappointed!

    The food was not good at all. The portion so little for something so bad and expensive. Not worth it at all. We couldn’t wait to get out. The only good thing was the tea and the sweet girl serving us. The deserts tasted like microwaved brownies and not set milk with eggs. I never post reviews but I’ve never been so unhappy for spending that much on something so unappetising.

    Food was good. Ambiance was good. I would warn people to check the wine they serve you compared to the wine you order. I was given a 2023 bottle when I ordered a 2019. I queried this and was told that the 2023 bottle would cost the same as the 2019 bottle - exactly the same wine, different vintage.
