    Lasagna bland with too much claggy pasta and not enough tasty meat / didn’t enjoy it
    Riva Blu Italian Restaurant & Bar - Leeds City CentreResponded on November 20, 2024
    We’re sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy the lasagna during your visit. Our team strives to deliver dishes that are flavourful and satisfying, and it’s disappointing to learn we missed the mark for you. Your feedback about the balance of pasta and meat is appreciated and will be shared with our chefs. We hope you’ll give us another chance to provide you with a much better experience.
