Great cocktails, good service and excellent food. The atmosphere is very chill and private seating in the back a big plus.

I have enjoyed pizzas here since their opening in the 1980's. Their food truck never disappointed me, nor has their other restaurant. Sadly, Café Riviera's pizza consistency is a fond memory and not a current reality. During the pandemic, orders were sometimes off. Once I asked for mild banana peppers as a topping and received chili peppers. When I explained the issue, they said they didn't even inventory the peppers I wanted. Between this issue and their policy of charging someone the full price for a topping when you only want the topping on half the pizza, I decided to only order plain pizzas from them. No more toppings. I can overlook some things because of the pizza quality, however, that changed this week they served me a pizza that was badly burnt. I never thought to check before leaving the store, since this previously wasn't an issue. I was really hungry so I scraped cheese off and some non-burnt crust. The next day I returned and showed the lady what I was served. I would have expected someone to apologize and say they'd make it right. I wasn't going to beg for a new pizza that was cooked properly, and since my IMPRESSION was that the server could care less, I said that she could have it and walked away. Seriously, how can the man who made the pizza serve it to a customer? It's protocol to look at the bottom of the pizza before pulling it out. How could anyone not see the black bottom? I sincerely hope they can get their act together. As for me, I'm going to focus on the pizzeria given the most positive reviews currently, instead of going with decades old accolades. read more

I just want to give kudos to Cafe Riviera. Even though the dining room is closed, my family and I got five meals last night and they were great. Burgers were cooked perfectly and the gnocchi and the veal was tender. Linguine and shrimp was fresh. We got the garlic knots but also got an order of the pepperoni knots. They were amazing. If you want good Italian food, give Cafe Riviera in the Concord Mall a try. We need to support a local restaurant like this that is in a struggling location. read more

Went to this restaurant in concord mall, and first off the mall is dead, and Secondly who doesn't have cheesesteaks! The waitress that waited on us couldn't even tell us what they had You could tell she was very inexperienced. We ordered boneless wings ,4 slices of pizza, and chicken tender and fries. The total was very high, and outrageous. The pizza was alright, but when we got home my husband took out his boneless wings, and all they were chunks of chicken in Buffalo wing sauce They no where resembled wings at all. Whoever was the chef sucked. I was totally upset one because I spent way to much money for our food to turn out that way I am utterly disappointed. Will never go there again. They should seriously think about closing that location Won't even give them one star. They need to be retrained read more

Today, I put in a delivery order via one of those food delivery services. As it turns out, the restaurant gave the wrong order to the delivery service, and couldn't get ahold of the driver. They called me right after the driver left to let me know that there was an issue and they were trying to get ahold of him, and then they called again a couple minutes later to say that they couldn't reach him. They told me I could keep the incorrect order where it arrived, and also the manager headed over to deliver the correct order herself (arriving just moments after the original driver). I was very impressed with the customer service, especially considering we had actually ordered via a third party service. Best pizza around. Fantastic customer service. Definitely 5 stars. read more

Aesthetic: 3stars Casual & clean. Nothing special. A basic mall place, that's a little outdated. Staff: 2 stars They usually seem to have clueless, awkward college kids working at the front counter. Honestly, they seem pretty useless... and are always getting corrected by the much older, gruffer staff. Get better help. Pizza: 3-4 stars Not gourmet, but just decent pizza with quality ingredients. (Their crust could be a little more charred.) Less pretentious, and less expensive, than their sister company, La Pizzeria Metro.) Decent cheesesteaks, but their strombolis aren't as good, though. read more

Very tasty Chicken Marsala and sauce, Italian rolls and generous portion of pasta as well! All for a nice solid price

Love their pizza. We've tried some other dishes and haven't been disappointed. Would recommend for a quick take out.

I had Cafe Riviera delivery and was pleasantly greeted with food that reminded me of the old-fashioned Italian restaurants. The food was wrapped with care and special note was taken so the food would not spill. , The ingredients are fresh & the meal was made with care, like being in someone's Italian home. The very great pizza with the fresh cheese & tasty meat reminded me of the yummy pizza as a child along with a well-made & delicious layered lasagna with a good sauce, enough for two people. I was fortunate to enjoy the wedding soup, which was just warm and delicious, With a rich broth and plenty of spinach, with a wonderful large meatball. The soup was so good, I would not share it with anyone. Prices were reasonable for the amount of food received. I have found my happy place to order Italian food. read more

This place is a hidden gem! It looks like something out of The Sopranos show, hehe! The food is delicious and the service is great!

I love the pizza here! EVERY time I get pizza it's always delicious and prompt! I got a half white/half plain pie. Their white pies are so good you just have to close you eyes as you enjoy every bite! I highly recommend Cafe Riviera! The closest pizza you'll get to New York style in Delaware County. Two large 14 inchers for $37. Too some it might be a lot, but I know some comparative pizza places and they sell 2 pizzas for $40-$60. I used to buy pizza by the slice here growing up going to the Concord Mall. They're pizza is STILL delicious after 25 years of service! That says a lot! Thank you Cafe Riviera!!! Oh yeah and your bruschetta is excellent as well, very authentic. They use real baguette bread for the base, not that disgusting cracker melba toast you'll find in other establishments. read more

A friend of mine was having a wedding and catered from Cafe Riviera. The cater came in a nice large truck with all their ingredients and supplies, while their staff came along in other cars. While we had some Hors d'oeuvre, the catering staff set up a kitchen underneath a tent. They then began to make all sorts of delicious concoctions including house salads, lamb chops, chicken, calamari and lobster ravioli. After the ceremony, we were able to get our food. I tried a bunch of different items including their salad, fried calamari and lobster ravioli. I started off with the salad, which was really good. The lettuce and tomatoes were both nice and fresh. However, it was the delicious dressing that improved everything! I than had the lobster ravioli, which was immaculate! The ravioli noodles were nice and tender while the lobster inside was full of flavor! Finally, I had some of the fried calamari! The calamari itself was great, though I wish that they didn't fry it as long, as it was a bit too crispy. The staff who made and served the food was also really kind and sweet! Altogether, the catering from Cafe Riviera was great! read more

Holy 'I can't believe there is still a reason to go to the concord mall' Batman! Hidden deep in the bowels of Concord Mall is this little gem, Cafe Riviera and my namesake bartender extraordinaire, Jimmy!! Everything was awesome (felt this way before the Mad Elf) EXCEPT there was virtually no meat in the cheesesteak. The roll, cheese, fried onions, mushrooms, tomato and Lettuce were plentiful and bursting with flavor and they completely overshadowed the meat. Look at the close up picture; everything looks great and you barely see the meat. My guest eater went rogue and had the pizza, He loved and got a 2nd slice. Shooters = Awesomeness. That is a picture of a picture of Blood Mary's, they look great! See you soon Jimmy!! read more

Fantastic pizza and curbside pick up experience! Really friendly woman answered the phone and recommended the veggie Sicilian when I was stuck deciding between that and the meats. I was not disappointed! Veggie pizza had roasted zucchini, eggplant, spinach, cheese and rye crust was perfect! The cheese pizza with half sausage was also phenomenal. We sat in the car and they brought the pizza to us. Really happy with the pizza and service! read more

I had the Pepper and Egg Sub and it was delicious! I enjoyed it for two days. I also had the Hot Long Peppers, also excellent.

"Let's go to the mall for great Italian food!". You wouldn't think so, but you would be wrong. The best pizza in the state of Delaware, not because DE pizza is generally pretty bad, but because their pizza is legit. Very good entrees as well. I don't know if it's always the case, but during COVID you could pick up takeout by driving up to their backdoor and they'll bring it to your car. Big plus, not only because it's convenient, but because I would never go in to the mall to pick up dinner. read more

When I heard they were closing the first thing I thought was I have to get some tomato pie. I ordered one today and it was nothing like the slices I get when I'm in the mall. The tomato was so thin you can see spots where there is no tomato. Not wanting to complain given their circumstances I really had to share my disappointment. Guess I'm too late for getting a last taste of the tomato pie I love. read more

So I was so excited to eat here after the slices of pizza I had tried the week before. Service was mixed...although our waitress was very friendly and kind...things seemed to take forever... I only say this because once our "jumbo" 18" pizza arrived it was not very hot...we all know fresh pizza out of the oven is to hot to eat...not today! Because we had ordered the pizza in addition to other menu items the server suggested to bring it in a box...an 18" box for a Jumbo 18" pizza...this was my other problem the pizza was 16" at best...and much thicker then the slice I remembered...(seems like the pizza maker didn't stretch the dough enough) Anyway Veal parmigiana finally arrived...pasta had tomato sauce that looked like it sat under the heat lamp to long and the veal was Luke warm at best...not to mention the breading was falling off... Ordered an entree No bread...nothing!! Knowing how difficult it has been for restaurants didn't want to send anything back... but moving forward next time at the Cafe Riviera I'll think I just stick to a plain cheese slice to go. read more

Best pizza in Wilmington hands down. Also, LMFAO at the reviewer who was complaining that the tomato pie wasn't crispy. You clearly don't know what tomato pie is. read more

Veggie pizza was 'ok' even if the crust was pre-made. Grilled veggies were tasty but the sauce was bland and the cardboard crust fell apart as soon as you picked up the pizza. This place had the worst service I've had in a while at a restaurant. Pizza came out from a separate server and had to wait for than 5 minutes for plates and never got the additional napkins or soda refills. Never got asked how the food was either. The only thing that came out fairly quickly was the check which I had to stop and ask the waitress to get. Other tables also had poor service too from the other waitress in our area. It wasn't even that busy with our waitress only waiting on 3-4 tables and finding plenty of time to disappear in the back. Maybe I would get a slice if I was at the mall again but there is no way I would sit down for a restaurant with such horrendous service. Basically is a mall food court restaurant masquerading as a sit down place since it has a bar and a liquor license. Even Grotto Pizza (unofficial pizza of Delaware) has better pizza. read more

Cafe Riviera provides a lunch buffet of hot items (with cold pasta or green salad along side) for our corporate cafe once a week and man, is it ever delicious. The meatballs, Italian sausage (with peppers and onions) and Chicken Cacciatore are classics and so well executed -even for a mass buffet. So pleased - and now I wanna go to the restaurant! read more

I've ordered from them a long time. The last two orders through Menufy have been wrong. When I called this time, last time I didn't say anything, the lady was rude said it was Menufy's problem that there wasnt an option. Then verified the chef forgot a sandwich told me Menufy would have to credit me and hung up on me. Great to know their customer service is of importance. read more

We stumbled upon this place in search of a good Sunday Funday Afternoon Bloody Mary & we were impressed! Located inside the Concord Mall, at first glance the place looks like your typical mall pizza shop. Go inside, & walk past the booths, & it opens into a spacious Italian restaurant with a comfortable, 7-seat bar! But none of that matters because... The Bloodies were DELICIOUS.!!! So then you know we had to try the pizza. Yep - DELICIOUS. We were so pleasantly surprised with everything, walked away three Bloodies in, & a large pizza pie to go!! I think we found our new Sunday Funday spot. Dangerous, since were in the MALL. read more

Excellent food !! If you love seafood try the Shrimp in white wine sauce over fettuccine !!! It is AMAZING 6 STARS all the way !!

Wonderful restaurant. The noodles and tofu and chicken were wonderful. Great desserts too. My kids love it here, especially the linguine with red sauce and pizza. My wife loved the crab. Excellent service too. It is close to my house which is great, but it is worth a ride to get here for a special dinner. Can't say enough good things. The bathrooms were spotless and welcoming! Truly a special place! read more
