    Sat out with a fabulous setting eating and drinking amazing food and wine under the stars in Venice…..what’s not to love about that? The food was excellent and the service staff just as good, really friendly. And creating a relaxing atmosphere. Thank you Rivera for hosting us

    Very nice and attentive staff. Food was amazing and so were the drinks. Americana so I enjoyed a pre dinner spritz and an after dinner espresso martini. Perfecto!

    Better than expected than what we thought when we sat down. I chose this place mostly due the food pics.. The ambience was less intimate than expected as it's on the edge of this very large pier but that's my fault. Service was good,, drinks better than expected and the food was very delicious. I would go back for a casual dinner.

    Mr. Kloe from Albenia made it incredible. His knowledge of the best dishes and pairing wines. The ambient he provided. Everything was perfect.

    Great food & service, with a nice view over the canal. Couldn’t ask for more.

    Tables were right on the Grand Canal at one of the less scenic spots, but one certainly does get the sense of the busy traffic on the canal as boats of every share and variety are going back and forth constantly. The service was competent and friendly, although the food could have been better. Nonetheless, it was enjoyable to watch the sunset over the water while enjoying the Venice atmosphere.

    I think the experience here depends on the waiter that you get. Ours was very inattentive and barely paid us any attention. When we asked him to come to our table, he mumbled and was hard to understand. But we noticed and overheard tables nearby getting great service. Food was average. Overall our service experience in Venice was subpar compared to Tuscany (Florence, Siena).

    Our food was outstanding as was the service, along with a very pleasant view of the canal. The presentation and flavoring is with this restaurant’s unique style which is of a high quality. We strongly recommend this restaurant!

    A little torn about this review. Ambience was perfect by the water - the food was delish But it appears they restauran maybe understaffed and because it was a Saturday it didn’t help. We saw our waiter maybe twice- otherwise we had to ask other waiters and staff for additional drinks - dessert- and bill.

    Location and food good. Service prompt but 2 of our 3 waiters could not have been less interested in serving us. Did not tip - the only time during our 5 day stay.

    They went above and beyond to accommodate our last minute change in reservation, my failure to mention gluten tolerance when I ordered my pasta. They welcomed us with our early arrival as we changed the time from 7 to 5:30. I forgot to ask for my gluten free pasta and they made sure I received it anyway. They made me a fresh loaf of gluten free bread. I enjoyed my dinner without getting sick as they went above and beyond to accommodate me and my table. It was really hot outside and after 7 hours in the sun we decided to eat in. They turned the air down to make us comfortable. Super welcoming, attentive, polite, helpful and last but not least the food was delicious! I would highly recommend this restaurant to everyone. Hats off to all the staff and the chef.

    The service was good as the price

    Ristorante RivieraOwner

    I’m really sorry you haven’t enjoyed this experience. The prices are legit and if someone considers it too expensive they can just skip it. We try our best always therefore I’m sorry to hear that.
