First Look Into RivaBella, Now Open on Sunset

Yesterday we took a look at the lunch and dinner menus at RivaBella, the brand-new West Hollywood collaboration between Sushi Roku and Boa operators Innovative Dining Group and Italian master chef Gino Angelini. Today, we take a look at the space. Designed by Studio Collective, RivaBella spreads spectacularly across 8,000 square-feet, with a look inspired by a Tuscan farmhouse, albeit one of a land-tiller who’s stacking a lot of lira. The expansive restaurant holds rustic touches among a contemporary layout, with details like a brick-lined wine cave, a wall arrangement of native plants, a beveled bar mirror under a ceiling of polished blonde woods, an eclectic mix chaise lounges and chairs, a water fountain straight from the old world, and a wood-burning fireplace centered on the restaurant’s impressive garden patio. Come tour RivaBella as we take a look at the newly opened restaurant in our slideshow.

RivaBella, 9201 Sunset Blvd. West Hollywood; 310-278-2060.
