Riva Mediterranean & Turkish Cuisine

"Incredible food. Don’t know how else to describe it. Always tastes phenomenal. Finally a great Mediterranean location in Staten Island that delivers savory food that is close by. Chicken Caesar wrap is great along with the fries and Buffulo wings. The lamb shank is next level good."

"Very nice modern interior with authentic Turkish accents. Service is great and menu selection has good choices of meat and vegetarian dishes. Arugula salad with goat cheese filled with fresh leaves but tomatoes was already mushy, cheese cut into 3 large pieces that were hard to distribute equally with the salad and salad dressing was ok. Lamb chops are the star dish. Grilly, tender, delicious. Lamb shank on my taste was extremely overdone with a lot going on sauce and strange taste of mash potatoes. I believe this restaurant definitely is a good place to have a nice meal with your family and friends."
