The new restaurant "Riva" develops the Mediterranean theme. A large two-light loft is a bit like the interior of a yacht. The first floor is a dining area that looks like a large mess room. A stepped balcony with soft sofas is an improvised deck, separate zones with tables are located on different levels, each of the tables is separated from the neighboring ones, but it all looks like one big space. Everywhere soft chocolate colors - from light beige to deep brown. Curtains made of silk taffeta in the color of champagne, antique Chinese screens, aged leather chairs, wooden furniture made according to the author’s sketches, a working antique fireplace - these are just a short list of the merits of the new place. And, of course, photographs of collectible yachts are everywhere - on the walls, on lamps, on the panel ... The Riva menu consists entirely of the author's cuisine of the Italian chef, Fabrizio Lucenti. It is sustained in the traditions of the region, located around the famous Lake Garda. Handmade pasta, freshly baked bread, the freshest fish and meat are all of the highest quality.

In "Riva", Patricia Orchani chose a place on the balcony where there are soft sofas, crystal lamps are burning, photos of Lake Garda are hanging

Oksana Kashenko: Is this your first time in Moscow?

 - What did you dream of as a child?

 - When I was little, I dreamed of being a pianist. I started to sing early. At the age of nine she participated in the contest of children's voices and sang the song of the famous Katerina Caselli. I won this competition in my region - Marche, in the city of Ancona. But despite this, I liked the accompaniment of my accompanist much more, and I also wanted to play the piano. Signed up for courses at the conservatory, began to study. But, apparently, my fate was already predetermined, and once, when I was laughing with my girlfriends, the vocal teacher noticed me and said: "It seems to me that this laugh hides a wonderful voice!" So I went back to singing and began to study opera.

- Do you love to travel?

 - Highly!

 - Both! Emotions are important to me, and I am always glad to see new things. For example, when I arrived in Moscow, I saw a lot of amazing places. I am very happy that I came.

 - What does a talented person need to become famous?

 - First of all, you need to learn a lot! And never stop this process, even when it seems to you that you are a professional, even when you have achieved a lot. You should not be content with what has been achieved, you should not rely solely on your talent. It is necessary to work seriously, and only after that the talent will unfold in full.

 - Tell us about Andrea Bocelli.

- Experience with Bocelli was amazing! We went on a tour of America and Northern Europe together. This was my first experience at huge venues - for 15, or even 18 thousand spectators. Andrea is wonderful! I, probably, do not know another such modest, kind, just good person! And then, he is a great singer, colleague and partner. Very serious performer!

 - I love to try new things, I love many world cuisines! But the Italian, of course, the queen! We have overtaken the whole world, and I say this not because it is Italian. Of course, in other kitchens there are delicious dishes. For example, yesterday I ate at a Georgian restaurant and was very pleased! Well enough, stop talking about food, because I really like to eat. I also love our Tuscan wines, both red and white. In this case, we have already overtaken even the French!

It is he who tells me about new trends and helps to decorate my house. By the way, I love to do home and enjoy taking care of him!
