Lasagna bland with too much claggy pasta and not enough tasty meat / didn’t enjoy it
Riva Blu Italian Restaurant & Bar - Leeds City CentreResponded on November 20, 2024
We’re sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy the lasagna during your visit. Our team strives to deliver dishes that are flavourful and satisfying, and it’s disappointing to learn we missed the mark for you. Your feedback about the balance of pasta and meat is appreciated and will be shared with our chefs. We hope you’ll give us another chance to provide you with a much better experience.

Had a lovely time seated near the window, very relaxing setting. All staff were very attentive hower the service was slow for food coming out. The pizza was amazing, the carbonara wasnt the best ive had but not bad. Also had ice cream for dessert which was delicious. Would come back for pizza and wine again
