In Riva is the first venture by Philadelphia-born chef Arthur Cavaliere who has combined the similarities of his two favorite cities—Naples and Philadelphia—to deliver an unparalleled culinary experience. Sticking with the Italian translation of its name, In Riva is located "along the banks" of the Schuylkill River in East Falls.

In Riva is a Southern Italian inspired restaurant with urban flair, specializing in Napoletana style pizza, house-made pasta and contemporary antipasti. In Riva also offers an eclectic array of new and old world wines, Italian craft beers and racy specialty cocktails.

    To start it off the place is esthetically pleasing. We sat down and waited some time to get my order taken. The menu is very limited which isn’t an issue. The issue was that it was 30 degrees and the place had no heat on. On top of that the pizza had zero to no flavor. My Coca Cola had more flavor than my food.

    The food was pretty good just the service was not good. Our waiter was not very attentive during our time at the restaurant and he barely acted like he wanted to answer questions we had on the menu. Will not be returning.

    Every time I eat here, I enjoy myself. I really wish they would bring back the pea soup. It's a crowd favorite!

    It was cold in the restaurant and the table was wobbly. Aside from that our waitress was terrific - she couldn't have been better. Food was good and served hot. I'd go there again, but maybe not until the Spring.

    I love In Riva! The food and service are excellent, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. They are kind to children, and accommodate their needs in a very thoughtful way. Parents can request small pizzas for each child, served very rapidly. These little pizzas are very popular with my grandsons. In Riva is a delightful restaurant, and my family and friends love it.
