Service was good but good for an italian was interesting. Some meh items were missing.
Wine in Egypt has a 3000% import tax so $20 wine is $700. The local Egyptian wine are reasonably priced for what they are.
I had the soup which was bland, had no bread with it and seemed to miss something. Wife had need carpaccio which again she felt uninspired.
The lobster fettuccine was supposed to be a creamy bisque, but didn’t appear to have much of a creaminess to it. Wife had the mushroom risotto and again this lacked anything and was 3/5.
Give it a go but as it stands needs some important refinement in the menu.

The ravioli and calamari were okay; however, this restaurant honestly had the most careless and worst tiramisu I have ever had. It was not properly soaked and came with a poor-quality cream. Considering the quality of the food, the prices felt unjustifiably high.
We chose to dine at the hotel again because we were very satisfied with our first evening at 8 restaurant , but the second night was a major disappointment because of Riviera.
The wine selection was also quite limited. Additionally, the overall atmosphere did not match the standards expected from a Four Seasons restaurant. Guests dressed in tracksuits and sneakers were allowed inside, which negatively affected the dining experience. The table setting was also disappointing, with runners used instead of proper white tablecloths.

The restaurant is delicious and clean, with food cooked in authentic Italian style. During my last visit to Cairo, I went there twice because the food was so good and the service was exceptional.
Big thanks to all the staff, especially Mr. Gamal, for his excellent service and kind attitude!

We celebrated my wife’s birthday at Riviera by the Nile, and it was truly exceptional! The ambiance by the river set a perfect backdrop for the evening. The staff surprised us with a beautifully crafted birthday cake, adding a personal and thoughtful touch. The food was outstanding—especially the appetizers, which were bursting with authentic Italian flavors. Every dish we tried was fresh, well-presented, and delicious. The service was warm and attentive without being intrusive. If you’re looking for a memorable dining experience with top-notch Italian cuisine, Riviera by the Nile is a must-visit!

The service was great and the views amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed the bursts salad and the dessert. Unfortunately the pasta and risotto was lacking – in flavour and texture.
