Love this place! Delicious Italian food, with a very homey, quirky feel! Diverse menu, with traditional favorites, but not too pricey. I had Veal Parmigiano with Fettuccine Alfredo and it was delicious! Absolutely LOVED all the Halloween decorations! Great place to host a Halloween party! Great place for a date too!

I didn't take any pictures of my food because it was too delicious to not eat right away. Such an amazing experience when you are greeted with, "Hello beautiful. You look amazing tonight!!!" Great food and great service!

Food was amazing, service was great But “Managers” nasty attitude was the worst. She claimed she orders the wine and I specifically said I don’t want something sweet and recommends me a different wine other than the one I ordered and sure enough she was wrong and did not know her wines …..

This past Sunday, around 1 PM, my girlfriend and I, as well as one other couple (with a child around six years old) tried to eat lunch at this establishment. Immediately you are greeted with inflatable Christmas decorations right outside the entrance. My first thought was how tacky it seemed, but I thought it might be fun for the child in our group. Unfortunately, right after we stepped into the restaurant, a man rushed over to tell us to leave immediately. It turned out that a restaurant decorated with children's Christmas decorations, was not family friendly...go figure! He told us that children 'under the age of 15' were not allowed at Rivas. There were patrons of the restaurant at the bar who saw the whole scene unfold. As we stood there, we all could not help but feel both confused and humiliated. We left promptly, as we did not want to cause a scene. In the parking lot we rechecked the website and nowhere was it stated children were not allowed. There was also no signage on the door before you walk in. Therefore, we decided to go back in and speak with a manager to get to the bottom of this. The same individual as before, who was both rude and inconsiderate, turned out to be the manager! I thought to myself, what a poor choice in selection of staff to run a restaurant. He then accused us of being confrontational and argumentative because we simply wanted to know where it stated kids were not allowed. The best part is he threatened to call the police on us... Horrible establishment, run by horrible people. Do not give them your hard earned money people. But hey, don't just take my word for it, read the other reviews!

Looks like a nice place, but we weren't allowed in because there were 2 children in our party. Does anyone know why they don't allow children!?
