Ristorante Vecchia Riva In Varese

01/03/2025: We arrived and after giving us a table they told us that the internet hadn't worked for two days and therefore we couldn't pay with the POS and that the ATMs in the area weren't working. We get up to leave as we had no cash and they tell us "but don't eat, then at the end of dinner one goes to withdraw and the other stays" 😮 We find a working ATM and return with the cash but already annoyed. We ask for an appetizer for two and we receive the dish in the photo. The cut meat was excellent, the side dish was not much. In the end €106 with a big discount! "come on give me €100" And no receipt but table receipt which I attach. First and last time here.

23/02/2025: Last night we ate at the Gibigiana restaurant. We were greeted with kindness and beautiful smiles. We started with two starters (Fassona tartare and starter recommended by the chef; I couldn't wait for some Parma ham accompanied by fried gnocco: delicious) As a second course, the waiter recommended a Bavarian rib-eye. I would say excellent, all accompanied by two glasses of Nebbiolo from La Morra. We didn't miss out on dessert or coffee. Since we were celebrating a birthday, the waitress surprised us with a candle on the cake. These small kindnesses towards us made me very happy and therefore I highly recommend this restaurant for any occasion, both for lunch and dinner. Our experience was a 10/10. Congratulations, we will certainly return.
