Riva's Italian Restaurant Italian Restaurant ·$$

Those unfamiliar with Montrose may have trouble finding the place at first, but you'll never forget again. Rivas is a different sort of Italian joint - one that pleasantly feels very much like home. There's a soothing combination of fun personality and old school elegance throughout the sizable dining room. The skilled bartenders transmit this culture while shaking perfect martinis and all sorts of other refreshing cocktails. Rivas' delicious approach to classic Italian favorites is well worth their fair prices. Get the Rosemary Pork Chops with Potato Pancakes for your entree - lightly breaded with a slight crunch, they're easily some of the best in town. The veal and pasta dishes are also especially satisfying.

Came back for another visit in December. They go all out for their Christmas decorations. And apparently it's no kids allowed, which I enjoyed. There was a bit of a wait as I did a walk-in but it...
