We chose this restaurant to celebrate our wedding in Venice, and it was simply magical! The view, the atmosphere... everything came together to make this moment unforgettable. The team was lovely and very attentive, the meal excellent, and the wedding cake was beautiful and delicious. Thank you to the entire team for their welcome and professionalism; it was perfect from start to finish! 💍🌅🍰

Dining on Grand Canal, across from Basilica Santa Maria was quite an experience. Delicious, high quality food and immaculate service. If you expect massive dishes, like most average American tourists in the reviews, there are other restaurants available. This is for beauty and quality. Hemingway risotto was 10/10.

We celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary with a dinner at this restaurant with our 9-year-old son. A huge thank you to Executive Chef Alberto, a wonderful dinner; every dish was a surprise. Thanks to the Riva Lounge staff. And thanks to the restaurant staff, especially Sergio, Domenico, Marianna, and Alessandro, for looking after and pampering us throughout the dinner.
We'll be back!

Food was really elegant, I had the seafood risoto, creamy but not too much, like just right. Then again I keep thinking maybe a bit more salt? but anyway was tasty. My wife’s pasta with lobster, full of flavor, she said wow three times. The piano music in background, calm, then I got distracted by gondolas outside, felt like a movie, no, more like a postcard. Staff was good, professional, explaind dishes slow, not rushing, chelner had blue shirt and looked kinda busy. Prices, yes high, I repeat, high, but ok you don’t pay only the plate, you pay the moment, the air, the water, all that. Romantic, yes, I say again, romantic.

Best hotel I’ve been to. The history, the prestige,tThe staff, and the food. Thank you everyone for the unforgettable memories.
Come here for an evening dinner, or even a nice continental/ a la cart breakfast.
Thank you everyone.

Right one the grand canal, looking at the water taxes and gondolas go up and down, outside terrace is an amazing location. Food and serive of course could be better. Worth of visiting once.

French service remains difficult.
Dishes brought during the aperitif
Wine not served with the main courses
Dessert ordered for one person at the start of the meal (because it required 30 minutes of cooking) and then only one dessert was brought. The others weren't able to order a classic dessert.
Otherwise, it was good, not exceptional, and still frankly expensive...
