My Favorite Spot. This is hands down my favorite 'everyday' place to go.

I'm a regular at La Riveria, and am always welcomed and made to feel like an old friend by the owners and staff. La Riveria doesn't try to be anything more than it is- AMAZING traditional Italian Cuisine at a fair price. The handwritten menus give an old world and comfortable feel that is just as wonderful at being at nonni's house for Sunday dinner with the family.

Delicious gluten-free food. Finally, gluten-free fine dining in Jersey!!!!

My girlfriend and I were sick of going into the city every weekend for a good gluten-free meal (she has celiac disease). We stumbled upon this place after some research online, and we were so happy with our decision to come here. We split the "Primavera" salad as a starter - the mozzarella, artichoke hearts, and endive complimented each other very well. For dinner, my girlfriend got the chicken parm off the gluten-free menu (I strayed and ordered chicken marengo off the regular dinner menu, which was very good) and I can't remember the last time my girlfriend was this satisfied. Later, we got to talking with Maria, the chef's daughter (also a celiac sufferer), and learned that clearly a lot of time and energy is put into the restaurant's gluten-free options.

My girlfriend has already ordered out from this restaurant twice since we came here, and we plan to go back for the full dining experience again. Highly recommended for the Celiac sufferer (and really anyone who digs a good Italian meal).
