I spent an evening feeling like I was dining at a restaurant along the picturesque Amalfi Coast - and didn't even need to leave Manchester for the experience.
Riva Blu, an authentic Italian restaurant at the Corn Exchange, in the heart of the city centre, provided an evening of delectable food along with the glamour of the Sorrentine Peninsula, topped off by an array of colourful, spritzy cocktails. We were invited down to try the restaurant's brand new summer offer, a menu spanning 20 new dishes combining classic Italian staples with a modern Mediterranean twist.
We were seated inside after spending around half an hour browsing the menu at the cocktail bar. Italian music played as we gazed upon the open kitchen, with diners also able to sit at the alfresco terrace.
