    Beautiful Italian food, the pizza are typically authentic Italian pizza, absolutely delicious! Thin base and not doughy. Calamari, the best I've eaten! The staff are so tentative but not over bearing, which is perfect. They're all so friendly and knowledgeable about their menu. Highly recommended!

    Great meal at Riva Blu Hull, service was excellent from start to finish attentive and not rushed. Megan went out of her way to look after us and the bar staff was efficient with the drinks we chose. We had three courses each and every plate was full of flavour. Will definitely return in future. Thank you Riva Blu.

    Very nice atmosphere. However, we arrived at 530pm with only a couple of other tables with people but it look 75 minutes to get our food (2 pizza’s, antipasto cold cut platter, pasta dish) and it would have taken longer if I didn’t ask waiter what was the problem. Once we got the food, no one came to check on us again for 45 + minutes and they asked if we wanted more drinks. We waited another 30 minutes and had to wave down a waitress for our check. We were there from 530pm to 800pm and had no dessert. Food was ok. Male drink waiter was friendly, girl waitress rarely smiled and didn’t look happy to be working.

    Thank you Emily for the review. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the atmosphere. However, we’re sorry to hear about the delay in service and the overall experience not meeting your expectations. This is certainly not the standard we strive for. We appreciate your patience and will address this with our team to ensure we improve in areas such as wait times and attentive service. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us enhance the dining experience for all of our guests. We hope you’ll consider giving us another chance in the future, and if you do, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us directly so we can ensure your next visit is exceptional. Kind Regards, Davide Carta General Manager
