I treated my friend to dinner for her birthday and it was our first time dining at Rivera Italian Restaurant. The inside is small and cozy. It was clean and decorated very nicely. All of the staff that we encountered were nice and helpful when we asked questions. Each table is provided with a basket of bread. The bread was pretty good, I would have loved more garlic on it. As an appetizer I ordered fried calamari. It was crispy and fresh.
I couldn’t decide what I wanted for my main dish but seen they had a sampler plate. This plate included lasagna, manicotti, and cannelloni. The waitress warned me by saying that all 3 pastas would be on one plate. She said she was telling me ahead of time because customers have been confused when it is brought out. That should have been a red flag to choose another dish. I didn’t think anything of that because I would never expect them to bring 3 different plates and I figured it would be similar to the Tour of Italy from Olive Garden.
I was completely disappointed when I was brought a plate covered in noodles, red sauce and cheese. I couldn’t even distinguish which pasta was which because everything was mixed together.
I couldn’t even eat it.

My suggestion would be to get a large plate and add each pasta separately so customers can actually sample each one and taste the different flavors.

Other than that horrible sampler everything else was delicious including the desserts. The lemon cake was amazing.

Came here for lunch on a Wednesday and left very satisfied and will definitely be a returning customer. Our family was very impressed by the food and the atmosphere is so charming. We usually never get dessert but glad we did this time, the tiramisu was perfect way to end our meal. Our waitress was so friendly and knowledgeable about questions we had regarding some food items.

Excellent little Italian restaurant in North Little Rock. Lunch today was superb and service was excellent. There’s just something about an Italian restaurant that has delightful atmosphere and really good spaghetti and meatballs. $10.95 for the lunch service which was huge! A cup of soup or salad goes with it. And, the best little yeast rolls included. I chose the Tomato Basil soup and it was delicious. Creamy and just the right amount of basil. Great wine list and dessert menu; for next time.

The place is tiny and gets busy on weekends. It's worth making a reservation. I had the Tortellini Michelangelo it was maybe the blandest piece of Italian I have ever had. My son had the chicken parm and said it's the best he ever had, and my wife liked her pasta sampler, and my other son enjoyed his fettuccine alfredo. Basically, my family really enjoyed it, and I got the one thing on the menu that wasn't good.

the inside of the restaurant had amazing decorations, the music playing was at a nice volume (helpful for people like me with noise sensitivities), and the service was very fast! the food was amazing as well, really great portion sizes! i would definitely come back here

The garlic bread is absolutely fantastic, I got the tomato basil soup as a side and it was extremely full in flavor I ordered shrimp Alfredo with chicken added and I was very disappointed to receive there shrimp Diablo none the less it was alright and would have been good if I had ordered that... they made me the shrimp Alfredo to go but the damage was already done... I had the intention of giving 4 or 5 stars had I gotten the right order....

Great little Italian restaurant. The spinach ravioli was creamy and rich. The sauce would be good on just about anything. The service was just right, and the bread was also quite good. Everyone enjoyed their meal, which was a wide array of tastes and preferences. The tortellini Michaelangelo is also quite good.

I saw rave reviews about Rivera on google, so I had to check it out. We went on a Friday around 5:30pm, and it was busy! We were able to get a table right away, but after that, there would probably be a wait.

We ordered the calamari and the chicken fettuccine Alfredo. My sister also ordered the spaghetti with meatballs. All three dishes were very good. I mixed my fettuccine with the spaghetti, and it was amazing.

For the bread, make sure you ask for their garlic olive oil to dip. It's sooooo good!! It has a bunch of Italian herbs and seasonings and fresh garlic.

Service was super friendly. Can't wait to come back.
