The food was good, though the service could have been better. We asked to swap the long pasta for a short one and were told it was fine, but the change never happened. We also ordered a couple of digestifs from the menu; the server seemed confused and said they didn’t have them, even though they were clearly listed. After pointing them out, we eventually received them. There were also no takeaway bags available, and we had to wait around 10 minutes to get our coats. On the positive side, the pasta sauce was very nice, and the ambience and atmosphere were excellent.

Our firm recently arranged a celebration dinner (group of 23) for a highly valued colleague, and I handled the reservation and pre-ordering. My email communication with Madi was flawless—she responded promptly and accurately to every query. From the initial booking to the moment we left, the team at Riva Blu Birmingham delivered exceptional service and hospitality, making us feel like royalty. Special thanks to Madi, Alexandra, Astrida, and especially Michele, whose attentiveness ensured drinks were topped up and the table setting was truly elegant. The food was outstanding, and the private ‘Amalfi’ room created a perfect atmosphere. Every colleague praised the experience, and I’m grateful to the entire team, including those not mentioned by name, for making the evening truly magical.
marni!
I have never, and I wish I was exaggerating, enjoyed eating a meal as much as I did! I dined here on Sunday by myself and it was just perfection starting with the hosts and waiter Astrida and Cristian. As much as the food was perfection to be served by these two was a delight the small words exchanged throughout the meal definitely made the experience! I would go again just to be served by these two. The food as I said was perfection starting with the bruschetta, a dish so simple yet so intensely good the flavours the tomatoes were so fresh and sweet and everything you want when eating this dish. Feel like im talking for days so I'll stop soon but the linguine with prawns so good so yum so great! Thank you so much for a great dining experience.

We Visited Riva Blu for our 5 year anniversary and everything from start to finish was impeccable. The food was outstanding (the scallops were a big highlight!), the drinks were well presented and delicious, the restaurant was pristine and The service from Michele made the experience much more enjoyable, he was very friendly, went above and beyond, very informative and professional throughout. I highly recommend visiting here whether it’s for a special occasion or a nice meal out with family/friends. I recommend booking as it gets very busy.
