Ristorante OsteRiva

Came highly recommended by our hotel and it did not disappoint. We had the fish balls as appetizer and they were just right. We both had pasta for a main meal. Sausage and fish sauce, respectively. The home made pasta was delicious. The wine selection was very comprehensive and they offered several choice which were reasonably priced. For dessert they offered a special, citrus cheesecake. It was very light and really really tasty. Enjoy!!!

My husband and I had good first courses of the excellent trout carpaccio and big spaghetti with fish. The subsequent dishes disappointed - our medium-rare steak came more rare and wasn’t a good piece to start with as it had alot of cartilage (and my husband knows his steak); the grilled white fish was not well cleaned, came with lots of scales. Feeling unsatisfied we ordered the apple strudel which was a mistake as it was the most disappointing apple strudel we’ve had as the pastry was really tough and didn’t taste fresh.

Riva!!! 🙌 It is good to see that there are still places around that offer typical local cuisine. The food was great and the staff excellent. Give this place a serious try.

We had a wonderful meal! The service, atmosphere and food was wonderful! I highly recommend the Blue Fin Tuna!

Amazing restaurant with absolutely tasty meals and fish in an incredible and relaxing athmosphere

You know how you can tell if a place serves authentic italian food? Look for locals dining in it. If you can trust a stranger (Italian), do yourself a favor and give it a try. You'll go there again the day after.

This ended up being my favorite spot in Riva. I was in town for a conference and needed to find dinner every night on short notice at a time and with a number of people I couldn’t guess ahead of time. The places that are willing and able to accommodate that are usually mediocre, but this one was fantastic, so I ended up going twice. I doubt it’s as easy to walk in on the weekend, but mid-week in early September they were very accommodating, even when we had a group of eight one night. The food is really good, and the wine list has a good number of interesting/appealing options about which the staff was able to make helpful, informed recommendations. Service was friendly and attentive.

Very kind and helpful staff. Tasty food.

Had dinner with wife and son. Sat inside because we didn't want the bustle of the street, and we still enjoyed its energy. The food was delicious for all courses. This was the best service we had in all of Italy! The waiter did a great job of pacing the courses. We never felt like the meal was rushed or lagging. We had worked on learning Italian for a few months before going and the waiter did a wonderful job working with us in Italian as much as we were able and using English when we needed it (as we requested). Hope to come back soon!

Charming local bistro. Friendly servers, delicious and creative take on local cuisine, all locally sourced. We had the gnocchi with perch, salt beef, gnocchetti (gnocchi made from a blend of spinach and basic, great!), and Tagliatelle. They also have a kids menu for the bambini. (hot dog & pommes, etc). No Pizza.
