We were only in Riva for a couple of nights and chanced on this retaurant, which in truth didn't really look the best from the road particularly with the usual 'Tourist Menu' board outside, which did very nearly put us off from going in but we decided to try it. We asked to be sat inside as it was quite... More

The welcome from the staff was lovely. We received a complimentary glass of prosecco, the restaurant was really busy but the food and service were superb. Could not fault anything about it. The bruschetta starter is large enough for 2 people and the pasta courses again were quite large but really tasty. We visited twice during our weeks holiday even... More

3 areas to eat. Outside on street edge, in the garden area which has heaters if needed and inside the restaurant area. Lovely meal although we felt very rushed to order when we entered. this seemed to be their 'good service' so eventually we got used to the fussing. Good range of food but no pizzas. A glass of prosecco... More

You are very well looked after in this family run restaurant. Prosecco is served for free when you arrive and as you finish your meal liqueurs are placed on your table for you to help yourself to the bottle! On our anniversary we were told to take the bottle home! The best salmon i've ever had and my husband's steak... More

On a summer's night this restaurant would be lovely to go to as it has a courtyard garden area close to the the main church ...... That was our way of finding where the restaurant was as it's quite secluded. We went inside and were well looked after by the owner and her two helpful waiters. Try the toasted goat's... More

Service -very attentive bit not overbearing. Complimentary prosecco was a nice touch for an intro. Starter was fabulous -mozzeralla & prosciutto portion was difficult to eat especially thinking about the pork -3 slices with parma ham & cheese to come-all served superbly- with roast potatoes - could not contemplate a 3rd course but succumbed to the complementary grappa - help...

We had a meal at the beginning of the week long holiday and this is where we chose to come back on our last evening as it was the best we had that week. The location in the town was convenient and looked nothing special but go inside and you are in for a treat, it is a garden setting... More

We enjoyed the food as well as the setting - the front garden has a pretty view of a baroque church, the roofed garden is surrounded by greenery. Services was friendly and quick, very welcoming to children. We appreciated the "small surprises" - welcome drink and a sample-sized desert (lemon sorbet) - on the house (not sure if they are...
