Sunday lunch in Barnes
My favourite place to dine in Barnes, especially Sunday lunch, where I am always greeted in a friendly way despite being a solo diner. The food is always delicious and there is a good choice of wine by the glass.

Too expensive for bland food. Clearly has a dedicated group of customers but very unimpressed with flavours and portions were tiny for extraordinary prices. Very run down inside.

Perfection from start to finish. I stepped into this delightful cosy restaurant with two friends on 26th April 2023 and everything from the impeccable service to the unique and flavoursome food was incredible. The staff were knowledgeable and friendly and the service couldn’t have been better. A perfect dinner in London. Faultless.

I was told this was one of the best Italian restaurants in London - so I went here for lunch. The restaurant is small and expensive but the dishes were excellent and the ingredients fresh. Service was a bit quirky though - I walked in a bit early which appeared to completely throw the unsmiling waitress - "I told you on the phone what time we start serving" - not exactly friendly or welcoming! But she was at least gracious enough to allow me into the empty restaurant to sit at my table and wait until she decided to do me a favour and serve me - for the first hour or so I was the only guest! I had grilled vegetables, and then a pasta dish for my main. So whilst the food was excellent, the waitress drops a point and I wouldn't go back. Not the easiest to get to either as nearest tube station is Hammersmith, then a good old walk over Hammersmith Bridge and to the restaurant.

The food was excellent, this restaurant is an authentic Italian with a very homely feeling. I was even more impressed with the service, all the staff were incredibly friendly. Would definitely visit again.

Another lovely meal yesterday evening at our favourite Italian restaurant. We thoroughly recommend Riva
Be the first to ReplyDelicious REAL Italian food
Outstanding REAL Italian Resturant, as good as ever. Haven’t actually been in 5/6years, it was special then, as it is now. Love the service personality here, a bit quirky for some, very genuine and gracious for me. Wine selections good, maybe more choice would be even better, that said there is something for most tastes. The food is the main event, the specials in particular, all of which are described in detail by front of house professionals who along with the Chefs are Riva. We had Courgette flowers, Octopus, Veal, Lamb, Green Veg. to finish: Prune Crepes and the Tart, all delicious… What would I change, maybe a bit of TLC here and there for the building decoration, but a full refurbishment would ruin the understated elegance achieved by the simple decor, Riva is rightly all about food, service and Wine. Overall we had a really enjoyable and memorable evening, thank you Riva, we won’t wait years to come back.

Cannot fathom what others rave about. Been here twice and it’s consistently mediocre. Hard to put it any other way than the food just isn’t very good. Bland, basic and unexciting. Staff are nice though.

Last night was my first visit to Riva. I'd read the reviews and wasn't sure what to expect - the reviews were mixed. As someone who enjoys food & eats out a lot, I must say I thought Riva was excellent. There is a lot of choice on the menu & lots of specials. I enjoyed all of my 3 courses & for me the food was just a bit different, a bit more interesting with unusual combinations that really work. The service was very good and we were treated very well. I would recommend this place and I've booked up for a return visit in April.

Had the most incredible meal here! We came for my grandmas 90th birthday and they went above and beyond to make it special for her. I’d written to ask if we could have rabbit and polenta and they delivered in spades! They also catered well to my coeliac disease, checking if dishes were ok (I had the risotto which was amazing)
The staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful and the food was amazing. We’ll be dreaming about the tiramisu for years to come! Thank you for your kindness and for making a 90 year old very happy!!
Authentic Italian
Ignore the bad reviews. E have been coming to Riva off and on for over 10 years and have never had a bad meal. Last night four of us had a very convivial meal—osso buco, calamari, linguini and fregato, all beautifully cooked, rounded off by a bottle of very drinkable Barbera di Asti, for £50 a head. Not cheap but great food and lovely service. On a par with a top end French bistro. We will certainly be coming back.

We had booked Riva on Saturday, but after reading the two previous reviews we thought about cancelling.
What a mistake that would have been .
We were greeted by delightful staff- there were 5 of us eating various dishes and we were all blown away by our food. Crisp white tableclothes, very authentic Italian cooking, delicious desserts... What's not to like ?
Can't wait to go again
Disgusted
Do not go here. Awful service. Atmosphere and food.
Manager of this place is racist! Came on Sunday she didn’t want us to have meal in her place. It was obvious.
Not only was there flies everywhere around the food. The food tasted off.
Staff wonderful but food....
We sometimes agree to go to this restaurant with friends who love it and always question why we say yes, after the event. The food just isn't good enough if you don't eat meat. I don't know whether the meat dishes are better. Grilled vegetables too al dente, just not interesting enough to be a starter dish. Tough, thick ravioli with underwhelming filling and a side salad that was inedible - had they poured a whole container of salt over it? Good bread. Tiny dessert but far too sweet. It is very expensive and the food I eat there just isn't worth the price. However, the waiting staff are lovely, just the right amount of attention and make you feel extremely welcome. The restaurant has a good, authentic Italian ambience.

We heard Marco Pierre White recommend this so called ‘restaurant’ on a podcast. This was meant to be a treat. Far from it.
We waiting 1 hour for the starter to arrive, asking the waiter what the hold-up was. He replied saying everyone arrived at the same time.
The starter was terrible, tasteless. A so-called calamari, which would have had more flavouring down at my local chippy.
Our main courses, my bro had gnocchi with a green sauce and green peas. I could have made it better myself. I had the linguine, which was edible.
We asked for the bill ASAP, the waiter didn’t ask throughout how each course or if we needed more drinks.
The bill came to £103, I’ve never felt so ripped off in all my life for a so-called ‘meal out’.
Avoid at all costs.
Overall terrible
Me and my partner we were looking for a place to eat after a long walk on Tuesday night and one of the pub managers advised us to go to RIva, as we both haven't been there before and yet my partner grew up here so we decided to take a chance. As we arrived here we were greeted kindly and menu looked actually not that bad. As we were so hungry after a walk we ordered starters and mains. Starters arrived very average, Fritti was just in a beer batter like in a pub no flavour at all served with balsamic vinegar and bland tomato puree.. excuse me? give mayo, aioli cause. It cost £14.50 so obviously you expect it to be better. My partner had octopus with tin beans.. that was outrageous. In the very beginning no one even bothered to come and check how were our starters (one of the main rules in service), we tried to catch waitress attention for us to be able to cancel our mains. We asked if kitchen already started to cook them so we could just cancel it and their replay was "yes they did". so we thought we could give it a try cause maybe it was just starters that were not good.
Me and my partner we both work/worked in hospitality. I do work in the high end international restaurant and we still wanted to give a chance for this place. However, my main course tuna carpaccio came finely sliced like average ham on a pile of salad with a price of £24. I was absolutely shocked. My partners lamb was tasteless and potatoes where dry. We asked for mayo and we were told off by one of the waitresses and laughed at. Yet, we left most of the food in the plates and asked them to be taken as we were done and extremely upset. We had bill delivered over a £100 and from all of that the best part of the meal was bread in the beginning.
Waitress/or the woman in charge was clearly jugging us, by the clothes we were wearing. I can only say one.. "don't judge book by its cover". The attitude was absolutely appalling.. instead of trying to accept or listen to our comments we were just told of how wrong we are.
I do not recommend anyone to visit this restaurant (does not even deserve a name of a restaurant), because this is the opposite what we need in hospitality and specially in this area.
Worst food ever.
p.s. passing by to their toilet overheard staff talking that they dropped a dessert and they are not sure how to serve it now. what on earth is happening?!?!? If I would have known about this place when I was an inspector, this place would have been closed down.
Still excellent.
Seemingly effortless, Riva consistently just get it right.
My go-to restaurant for a special occasion.
