Cafe Riviera

Love this place....Have lunch there several times a week....And as a South Philadelphia Italian, I can vouch that food is excellent.

Pretty good food. It is a pizzeria with the expected pizzeria food. You can get pasta and appetizers. You can also buy Pizza by the slice. They have a bar are you can also get beer. I suspect you can probably get wine also.

This place is in the concord mall and is fairly quiet. There is a counter for takeout as well a cooler for drinks and plastic utensils. I went on a Monday night and the place wasn’t super busy but they only had one waitress on the floor so there was a significant wait waiting to be seated as well as served. The food was average and they have specials each day, Mondays they have a pasta special. They have single person men and women separate bathrooms and high chairs available for use. I don’t know if I would say it’s the best Italian food but if you are out and shopping, it’s a solid option.

The tomato pie is THE best around. Staff is super nice too. Yes, this place is in a mall (!) but I drive from the Pennsylvania suburbs to get a slice of their tomato pie. You may even get lucky at lunch time and they will have a plate out-help yourself- of roasted hot and sweet peppers.

We visited this place coming home from a trip and did not know what to expect. It was a little bit more than we wanted to spend but the food was delicious. It can be a pizza place but also a homemade pasta. It was delicious.
