   Hi Guiseppe Food and service was great and would recommend I never give 5 stars unless it was truly exceptional Only had that in Michelin Starred but it’s not that sort of place Regards Richard

   It was good but it was my birthday also and I thought I was going to get a happy birthday desert even if I have to pay for it . I don’t know if I had to request that myself.

   First time I had been to the Manchester Riva Blu Restaurant. I was well impressed with the cleanliness and was very tidy for a Saturday night when it was so so busy busy we had to wait a little from the time I had booked for the table, but that wasn't a problem. The meal was lovely and yes would book again.

   Roast potatoes were awful, obviously heated / fried up several times. Card machine not working at time of payment, waitress ran after me, bit embarrassing as all the other diners were looking as if I'd done a runner, when it was the machine playing up. Had to pay at the payment station.

    Absolutely deadly spot for a bit of food, the staff there were lovely and extremely respectful, I got 25% off my food as it’s the month of January so that was extremely nice. Definitely a fantastic pick if you are staying in Manchester. 10/10
