Rivoli is a beautiful restaurant, with yellow and red paintwork, a distinguished atmosphere, and a wall which is made entirely of glass and faces a lovely garden. Chef Wendy Brucker (formerly of Stars) has really found her niche, creating Mediterranean-inspired cuisine. Some favorite dishes are the portobello fritters served with aioli, Parmesan, and arugula; and the delicious nicoise salad, made with slices of the freshest ahi, grilled rare.
Rivoli serves up a Californian and Mediterranean cuisine. Expect to pay roughly $12 to $20 per person.
