Food was good. We came in without a reservation on the weekend. Quickly got a seat and food. There are two things that was out of the ordinary though. There was a weekend surcharge like $25 or something. That should have been more clearly communicated since it is neither norm nor a small amount on the bill. Secondly the staff is on the boundary of pushy vs. attentive. The food was really decent though.

Had a delicious dinner at La riviera. Went with my partner and had a very soft and fruity glass of Pinot noir for Tasmania. That lead into some the fluffiest wood fired focaccia I have had in some time. The scallops were well cooked, and the cauliflower puree was a good touch, while the fish roe added texture. For mains we had the ravioli and pork cutlet. Both were top notch with the pork cutlet being juicy and with a peach salsa that was nice twist.

Overall great Italian, and for where it is, reasonably priced.
