Score
Across the available record, Riva has 15 inspections on file, the first dated 2010. The most recent visit was on May 16, 2019. High risk usually means inspectors flagged either critical violations or a stack of smaller ones. The most recent inspection at Riva is from May 16, 2019, and nothing newer appears in the public record.
The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around seven violations each, up from closer to two violations before.
“Food and non-food contact equipment utensils clean” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing 12 times across the record.
The city-wide average sits at 81, which Riva's 50 doesn't quite reach. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
