    We ordered the mussels, Caesar salad and pappadelle with short rib. Mussels were great, salad was good, pappadelle was awful. Sure didn't look like the picture. Two small pieces of short rib and one was nothing but a hunk of fat with a morsel of meat. The fat was literally half off the meat prob and inedible. On top was this layer of what appeared to be grated parmesan with parsley, but it was all just a plate of a congealed mess. Looked disgusting. Very disappointing. I spoke to the server but got no response from the chef or management. This place isn't what it was when itt opened.

    After reading all the positive reviews I thought to try this restaurant. And what a shock - not sure where all the good reviews came from. I ordered the meatball which was no better than at north Italia. I ordered the pappardelle with braised short ribs and the shrimp in pesto. These dishes took over an hour to arrive and were cool to the touch. Had to be sent back to be warmed. Pasta was average - nothing to write home about. And the braised short ribs were inedible they were so full of fat. If you’re going to charge $160 for this dinner (with wine) you need to massively improve your food and service.

    Our first time here. Service was outstanding. We enjoyed the cheese plate, focaccia and shared a farmhouse salad. (It was the best). We all enjoyed pasta dishes. Overall great experience. We will definitely return.

    This was our first visit to La Riv - Georgetown. Great diverse Saturday night crowd, great service, great food. There are very good places to dine in Georgetown and this is certainly one of them. La Riv is located right in the heart of town with a very safe and secure location. So, get a reservation because the place fills up quickly, enjoy the food, and enjoy the small time but very active vibe!

    Idk I feel like I paid alot of money for terrible food . I usually don’t criticize, but the ribeye barely had edible pieces. My creamy pasta had zero cream… where was the cream? Personally wouldn’t return, wish it was better because with our schedules & kiddos we only get to do this like 3x a year.

    Minor slip ups: They sat us but no servers apparently knew we were in their section so we eventually caught the attention of a food runner and she said she would get our server. Gave us our bill and I paid using the Sky Table app but then found out I wasn’t supposed to do that (?). Regardless, food was great and the server was apologetic and friendly so it was all good in the end.

    We love this restaurant! Heidi took great care of us, the food was wonderful and we appreciated Enrique, one of the managers, coming by our table. What a great team and dinner spot! We will be back soon!

    We've eaten here often and are never disappointed. The food is good and the serving staff are superb: friendly, helpful, professional, and efficient. The sound level is just a bit high--but I guess you can expect that in a nearly-full popular restaurant where everyone seems to be having a grand time! The only downside we've ever encountered are those (few) patrons who insist on bringing their very young children--who scream the entire time they are present.

    This was the third time our family has visited and this was the third time the restaurant has run out of items on the menu. Many of the wines on the wine list were not available and our waitress was not sure how to properly pour. They were also out of ice cream for one of their desserts which should not be difficult to fix. The food was really good but it’s frustrating to constantly have a problem with items not being available. We like the food but I’m not sure we will be back anymore.

    Best Italian around Austin area. Ravioli is homemade and perfect. Steaks are of the highest quality. Pizza dough is a dream.
