- PPatVIPNew York State •53 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoIf you’re looking for an authentic, Sicilian meal, run to LaNorma’s! The outside patio is lovely. Service was excellent. Shout out to Gustavo! Arancini, Eggplant Rollatini, Rigatoni/Meatball Bolognese & Lobster Ravioli were outstanding. A bottle of Montepuliciano sealed the deal! Unfortunately, couldn’t fit dessert; therefore, we must return!

- SSteveVIPTampa / Central Florida West •33 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoWe were very skeptical about eating at Riva. We had friends eat there twice and said the service and food were horrible. We had another friend eat there less than a week ago and said it was fantastic so we decided to try it. The entire dining experience was excellent. Our water, Jose, spent a lot of time going over the menu which was appreciated. Our appetizer, the grilled octopus was excellent. Our entrees came out and were prepared perfectly. Dessert and the wine were both enjoyable. It was a wonderful evening ending with Dennis Quaid walking in as we were walking out!😀More infoRiva at The St. Regis Longboat Key ResortPrice: Very Expensive• Italian• Longboat Key•4.6

We sat under the trees by the bay and the portable heaters kept us warm on a cool night. The Spinach and Artichoke Empanadas were a great appetizer and the entrees were excellent too.More infoMar Vista Dockside Restaurant & PubPrice: Expensive• American• Bradenton Beach•4.6
