Friendly service, delicious pizza with exceptionally good dough, and a lovely ambiance in the glass-enclosed conservatory; the location right on the street is still pleasant and easily accessible. The seafood pasta was tasty, but rather average compared to the pizza. The prices are fair, and the overall value is good. Just barely five stars and a great choice for a relaxed pizza experience on Lake Maggiore.

We had the pleasure of dining here on a Saturday evening during a weekend getaway.
The owner of the B&B where we were staying (Villa Preziosa) recommended this place to us, and we thank him.
We tried a Margherita, paccheri alla norma, and octopus Galician-style.
Everything was truly excellent, highly recommended!
Thank you so much.

Excellent seafood restaurant and pizzeria, simple dishes made with quality ingredients, and friendly, welcoming staff. Stunning location, right on the lake in the summer. Generous portions.

We visited this restaurant in Lesa and found the experience overall pleasant, but we weren't entirely thrilled.
The atmosphere is refined and welcoming, very nice for a quiet dinner, and the service was also pleasant and friendly.
As for the food, some dishes were good, but nothing particularly memorable. Others, however, were a bit disappointing, especially compared to expectations.
Overall, it's a nice place, but for us it was just "okay," without that little something extra that makes you want to return immediately.

A lovely lakeside restaurant where you can find both fish and meat specialties, as well as pizzas with various flavors. Prices are reasonable, considering the location, considering the quality. Good service.

Riva da Franco is a restaurant that captivates with its high-quality food, fresh seafood, and generous portions, all combined with excellent value. The summer atmosphere by the sea is truly enchanting, with outdoor seating and a holiday feel. The staff is courteous, professional, and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. It's a popular restaurant almost year-round, so reservations are recommended.

Excellent pizza at La Riva with a great view across lake Maggiore. Staff were really helpful, even though we had made a booking by telephone they couldn’t find the booking when we arrived, but we were accommodated without any fuss. Very friendly and fast service.
