SALUTÉ TO 2026: The Southern Italian restaurant is offering two courses for £20, all day, every day, until the end of March.
Welcoming 2026 in style, relaxed southern Italian restaurant Riva Blu is offering guests a taste of ‘la bella vita’ with an expertly curated menu of regional favourites, complete with a primi and secondi dish for just £20 per person. Birthday guests can also enjoy the new menu on the house when dining with 3 or more guests.
The new Riva Venti menu also includes dishes from Riva Blu’s masterful Lighter Bite collection, serving up reimagined Italian classics for petite appetites.
With locations in Leeds, Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester and Hull, Riva Blu brings the sun-kissed allure of the Italian Riviera to the UK’s most vibrant cities. Each restaurant offers a relaxed yet stylish dining experience, where vibrant Mediterranean hues and carefully curated décor transport guests straight to the sunnier climes of Italy.
The Riva Venti menu offers Italian classics, plus new Lighter Bite menu items for those seeking smaller portions with great taste. On Sundays, guests can also enjoy two courses for £20 with Riva Blu’s Sunday Roast.
Riva Blu also offers a special treat for birthday celebrations. Birthday guests can enjoy the Riva Venti menu on the house, choosing any two courses (drinks excluded) while their party guests dine from any menu of their choice.
Riva Venti starters are a vibrant introduction to Italian flavour. Lighter options such as the Insalata di Arance combine blood orange, fennel, Italian leaves and a citrus dressing, finished with a delicate chilli and black olive crumb. For classic starters, guests can savour Calamari with a Southern Italian twist, accompanied by courgette, red pepper and confit garlic aioli, or Bruschetta Pomodoro, crafted with sun-ripened tomatoes and aromatic herbs.
For secondi, traditional Italian favourites take centre stage. Indulge in a classic lasagne made with slow-cooked beef ragu, the spicy kick of Penne Arrabiata with a rich tomato and chilli sauce, or authentic Spaghetti Carbonara prepared with free-range eggs, guanciale, Pecorino Romano, and finished with flat-leaf parsley.
For those seeking something extra special, Riva Blu offers indulgent dishes for a modest supplement. Linguini Gamberoni is a bold pasta creation with wild red prawns, king prawns, vine-ripened tomatoes, and a chilli-garlic sauce (£3 supplement), while the Orata Con Lenticchie presents a baked sea bream fillet atop braised lentils with a tomato and herb salsa (£2 supplement). For a true statement dish, the Bistecca, a 170g fillet steak served with classic fries, is available for just £10 extra.
On Sunday, diners can savour Riva Blu’s Sunday Roast as part of the Two for £20 offer. Choose from herb-roasted chicken, roasted beef rump, vegan nut roast, or slow-roasted pork belly, served with all the trimmings, including roast potatoes, maple-glazed carrots, braised red cabbage, seasonal greens, rich gravy and Yorkshire pudding.
Riva Blu’s Riva Venti two for £20 menu is available all day, every day until 31st March and excludes drinks. Riva Blu’s complimentary birthday meals are available for a limited time only.
