Individual ratings for Ristorante Riviera
Directly on the waterfront, far from the tourist crowd, in the Dorsoduro quarter.
Romantically elegant, especially on balmy evenings, when sitting outside by the "Canale de la Giudecca" and beholding the surreally illuminated Hilton building across the canal.
Beautiful boulevard patio directly by the water with tables decked out in white and comfortable director's chairs. Of course this is also a splendid place to come to in poor weather, because the elegant dining room, done in earthy colours, will make you feel perfectly at home.
Excellent seafood cuisines and delicious pastries. The Tiramisù ball is certainly a must. If you cannot make up your mind and fancy a cross-section of the dessert menu, go for the "Mignon" variation of six small delicacies.
The well-groomed wine list focuses on domestic vintages.
The staff, who have worked here for many years, love to pamper their guest and are yet wonderfully discreet. Unprompted, they will include two dessert spoons when laying the table. It's the sort of thing that will leave you no choice but to put your diet plan on halt, and indulge a Tiramisù ball that is simply divine.
Ristorante Riviera Restaurant, Venezia
Price range
Dining with a view – it is magnificent to sit out on the pier and splurge on the fine fresh-market cuisine.
The "Coperto" cover charge is a bit stiff at 6 euros per person.
