Inspired by the culinary traditions of Northern Italy and the Adriatic Coast, with stylish décor referencing early twentieth century sculpture, Riva is Sarasota's premier Italian dining destination. Packed with flavor and culinary artistry, its appetizing menus feature the finest home-made pasta, fresh seafood, and authentic Italian classics, all created using high-quality seasonal ingredients. To fully immerse yourself in the vibrant Mediterranean atmosphere, join a pasta-making class with our chefs at the pasta bar and enjoy a refreshing beverage from the Vespa drinks cart.
