Went to cafe riva yesterday with my work

colleagues, I had the ceaser salad and I throughly enjoyed it. Colleagues all had the steak sandwich and said it was very tasty

Went for dinner last night with my partner, staff extremely friendly, food was beautiful and it had a really warm atmosphere. Nothing could be faulted!!

This is always our first choice for pizza, it's delicious and has never disappointed. The staff are friendly, service is quick and there's free wifi for the kids to entertain themselves on their tablets. And if you've room for a dessert there's plenty of choice.

Not long back from cafe riva, beautiful meal n great service. First class staff,.service with a smile. First visit n highly recommend it

My wife and I had lunch this afternoon and were amazed at the quality. Service was super and the food was to die for. Would recommend very highly. Thanks :)

Just had an excellent evening out to celebrate AQE results. Gorgeous wild mushroom bruschetta, amazing pizza and the list goes on. Was great to be served with some new Shortcross Gin, a good local product, and the service was impeccable. Thanks so much for a lovely evening. If you haven't been yet.... whats stopping you???!

Just had a beautiful meal for mothers day. Had 3 courses, each as appetizing as the last and food was piping hot (except the ice-cream....obviously)! The staff were most welcoming and attentive. We will definitely be back!

Haven’t been down for a long time then was there twice in a week. Staff were lovely, nice relaxed atmosphere & the food was absolutely to die for. Had the same both nights as it was so good. Only negative was the wine wasn’t chilled enough but when I mentioned to the staff they were more than happy to take on board. Met the owner he was lovely too. Booking for Xmas dinner �

Have eaten here quite often - kids birthday party, romantic meal for two, tea with the kids and always delivers ... Agree with other comments - the chef will endeavour to accommodate all requests from extra chilli in a pasta dish or grilled chicken instead of battered goujons in the kids menu... As served today. Lovely atmosphere and waiting staff too !

Had a late lunch/early dinner today.

Lovely food and the best pizza in town. Lewis was a great waiter..... He never stops, cleaning tidying and yet still keeps a close eye on customers needs. We will be back for sure!

First time in the restaurant last night. We were not disappointed at all. The staff and food were excellent. We had chianti with our meal last night so left the car and walked home. Walked to pick up the car this morning and decided to have breakfast. Lush! The food was lush and again staff were excellent. My new favourite place. Larne's best kept secret. �� Thank you to the staff and the chef for an excellent experience.

Fantastic as always , superb quality of food & dishes that are bursting with flavour , service excellent also , one of my top places to eat , keep up the good work

Couldn't recommend highly enough. At a busy time of year, they were flexible enough to make sweet potato mash especially for our group. The entire meal was excellent, not just the basics but obviously had gone the extra to make sure the food was prepared and presented very well. Service was superb, relaxing, professional & friendly. Great spot, with huge potential :-)

Another lovely dinner here last night gorgeous food definitely try the sirloin steak great service and we will be back 2017 !

Absolutely delicious food. Have ate in it a few times now and always get a great meal. Service is great also

A lovely place to go for a meal or a cup of coffee. Food and service both excellent.I plan to return again soon.

Had a great meal in the restaurant yesterday. However I enquired about the possibility of getting a gluten free pizza the next time I was in if I gave plenty of notice. I was told that wouldn't be possible as they didn't have any gluten free flour and even if they did it would cost me about £30. I accepted this as I know not all establishments cater for coeliacs but on reflection I wondered how on earth a gluten free pizza would cost that much. You can get gluten free flour in Asda which really doesn't cost that much. I get that maybe they would be worried about cross contamination but to even consider selling it at that price is astonishing.

Food was really tasty but writing the menu in Italian hardly makes it Italian...I see they do have pizza so maybe that's where the Italian reference comes into it. Nonetheless the food was good and wait staff lovely..would definitely go back

We've ate here a few times. This time wasn't great at all. It was over 20mins before our drinks order was took 30mins before our food order was taken. I'd see through it if it was busy, but no there was a table of 8 still to be served and that was it.

My dad's sausages dish was so spicy he couldn't eat it.the waitress carried our cocktails through the restaurant like a snail as she was carrying them by the stem instead of putting them on a tray, spinach was grainy like it hadn't been washed. The whole service was just below power for having three staff and having to wait so long was ridiculous. The only good thing was my steak cooked to perfection.
