The warm and welcoming eatery, that opened its doors to diners in March of last year, features a sprawling bar — where dining is permitted — etched with an eye-catching, panoramic mural of the Mediterranean, and lounge seating that accommodates up to 50 people.

The main dining room, replete with a wine wall and dance floor, seats up to 90 guests or a standing reception of 135 guests. Beqiri says: “Riviera is a little piece of the Mediterranean right here on Staten Island.
