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.

                                                                Went here for a pre philly marathon carb load and was pretty standard pricing and food - nothing too special. Got a variety of pizzas and pastas- some creative pizzas but some were burnt. Had a reservation for 2 tables but when we got there they didn’t have this available for us and had to reconfigure something for us that was slightly uncomfortable but worked. Pretty good desserts though!

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.
