Honored chef Jason Travi, Thierry Perez and their partners in Culver City’s acclaimed Fraîche have opened RIVA just blocks from the Pacific Ocean. Riva means “shoreline” in Italian and the new restaurant specializes in rustic, boldly flavored dishes from the Italian coast. Upon stepping into RIVA, guests are greeted by fragrances from boxes of herbs and fruits mounted onto walls on either side of the foyer, instantly creating an aromatic Mediterranean experience, with a chef’s counter offering the best views of the proceedings while enjoying superb impromptu menus. Much of the produce that makes it into RIVA’s kitchen is organic, obtained at the world-famous Santa Monica Farmers Market a few blocks from the restaurant. The chef’s alluring selection of crudo dishes includes Geoduck Clams with Orange, Watercress and Mint and RIVA’s entrées include Costata di Bue Per Due (Prime Rib for Two) with Tuscan Black Cabbage and Bagna Cauda.
