Riva, the namesake of Chef Jason Travi’s Santa Monica dining spot, means “shoreline” in Italian—and the Mediterranean cuisine, near-ocean locale and fresh ambiance of the kitchen coincide with the semantic title seamlessly. Renowned for its crudo (an Italian raw fish specialty), Riva also excels in wood fire pizzas, chestnut soup, salmon, meatballs and, of course, tiramisu.
Guests with a movie ticket stub from a nearby 3rd Street Promenade theater receive a complimentary beer or glass of wine, Sunday-Thursday after 9:30 p.m. as part of Riva's "dinner and a movie" special.
