The name, La Rivista, means the review, or more accurately, the revue, as in a Broadway show revue. The Marchignoli's intent is to present a gustatory revue of the finest dishes of the various regions of Italy, the pastas of Sicily and Naples, the lamb dishes of Abruzzi and risottos from Milan. It is in the food of Bologna, where La Rivista truly excels, the birthplace of owner Luciano Marchignoli. Menu and prices are the same at lunch and dinner. You'll find many familiar dishes and others that may be new to you.
Salads are large, comprised of crisp, fresh greens.
Naturally there are many appetizing pasta dishes to choose from. The veal is very thinly sliced, extremely tender, prosciutto and cheese ample, and wine sauce well-seasoned. Desserts vary in quality and availability. Dining room and restrooms one level. La Rivista offers its customers free parking.
