Wine bar

Great little fine dining place where the menu is huge and the prices are not outrageous. Wine is also of high quality.

horrible creepy owner

by badserviceworsefood

The food was alright but it costs a fortune. I understand paying a lot for good food and good service but if you don't speak spanish forget about eating here... Your going to spend at least 120 for two people and the owner is extra creepy always touching you inappropriately and asking if everything is all right like 50 times and yelling at his staff. Stay away from this place with a vengance. The owner had to write the other two reveiws... what a weirdo.

• Pros: a decent chicken parm
• Cons: creepy creepy owner and nobody speaks english

food, wine and service

by katzlife

The food was awesome! There was not one thing served that I did'nt like. If you enjoy classic foods this is the spot. The menu was a rustic twist on classic italian . Since moving from San Francisco To the Los Angeles area my palate has been very spoiled finding it hard to find really good eats. If you lived in and dined in the bay area you know what I mean. This restaurant The Riviera is to die for.

The customer service is at its highest quality . The staff is very friendly and accomodating which now a days is pretty much half the battle in fine dining. These boys were over the top!

The wine, spectacular! Who ever selects the wines has exceptional taste. This is by far my favorite restaurant and guess what I'll be back !

• Pros: parking, wine , customer service , food

Nice little place in Calabasas by the people from Tuscany in Westlake Village

by vsusa

This restaurant is by the same people of Tuscany in Westlake Village. I went here with a large group for a work holiday lunch. It's a nice little restaurant with friendly service and decent food. If I could recommend one thing from the entire menu it would be the Limoncello cake! Even if you are not the biggest fan of lemon, you will love this dessert! It's most and very flavorful. Everyone was fighting over it. Not sure if they always have it though.

Some other standouts were the Slow-braised short rib and the Butterfish (a special).

• Pros: Good desserts and good service
• Cons: Menu could be a little more diverse
