Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Pontefract

Every thing about our night out was great until they brought the bill...i know things have a service charge but to stand there and say you don't have to pay it if you dont want kinda puts you on the spot a bit ,but our service charge was £7 (which i didnt pay by the way ) as£7 pounds for carring 2 plates is a bit high and if service charge wasnt on the bill we would have left a tip at our discretion...as we are pensioners and i felt for the group of8 students opposite whose bill was over £200 pound making that £20...im just glad we did not order a bottle of champagne at £100 as that would have been another £10for carring it to the table .......bit naughty Lucias

One of our favourite restaurants. Lovely staff, authentic Italian food and a cosy ambience food is top notch. Never had a bad meal here. Staff are friendly and helpful especially the “mad Italian girl” ( her description, not ours)

We went for the first time for my husbands birthday. The food and service was amazing. The venue is beautiful and we will definitely be coming back!

If you are visiting Harrogate then this restaurant is an absolute must to eat in ! The staff are some of the most welcoming I have met in any restaurant I have visited ! Their service was second to none and nothing was too much for them. The atmosphere is brilliant and not for one second did we feel rushed or like we had to leave at the end of our meal we were able to continue to enjoy the atmosphere and chat. The food is beautiful ! Well priced , great portion size and lovely presentation ! I will be back to visit I was extremely happy 10/10 !!!

We had a wonderful afternoon at Riva - delicious food, fab cocktails and looked after wonderfully by all the staff
