The service was a very positive note. Everyone was kind and attentive. We were treated and served well. Unfortunately, the food doesn't live up to the beautiful location, with its fabulous coastline. There's nothing to compliment it.
The dishes are more trattoria-like than restaurant-like.
The prices are exorbitant (for the selection and execution).
I'd save the mussels and the fried fish...
I have to say the pizza is more appetizing, but the value for money isn't justified.
The place deserves more attention to detail and well-executed menus. You can't make money off the location alone!

I went with very low expectations due to the reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised. The pizza was very good and had a nice topping. The staff was very patient and kind, even though my relatives, unfortunately, put everyone to the test! The place is very nice and the entertainment is good. The only downside is the slightly high prices, but otherwise I had a really good time.

Wonderful place, it's always been my favorite place, and now that it's been renovated under new management, it's fantastic. I was pleasantly surprised by the pizza, which was nothing short of spectacular. The pistachio pizza was fabulous. Well done, truly well done. As a true Sicilian, I'm happy to see that a place like this is in the hands of those who make it shine.

My dining experience at Riva Smeralda was truly exceptional. From the moment we walked in, the welcoming atmosphere and attentive staff made us feel right at home. The menu offered a delicious array of dishes, all expertly crafted with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Every bite was a culinary delight, and I can't wait to return to Riva Smeralda to explore more of their delicious creations. Highly recommended!

A very spacious restaurant in a spectacular location, right on the seafront at Capo Milazzo, with the option of dining practically at the water's edge. The seafood dinner was excellent. A negative note: during our two-hour stay, any chance of conversation was thwarted by the high volume of a duo playing live music, pretending they were putting on a concert rather than simply providing background music for the guests' dinner. Truly annoying and absurd. Despite the duo's skill and the waiters' requests to turn down the volume,

We organized a 50th birthday party. We were greeted with kindness and courtesy by the staff at the buffet table prepared for the occasion. It was immediately clear that the evening would be a success, thanks to the constant presence of Mr. Giuseppe Nastasi, who, with his attention to detail, made the buffet very enjoyable. Thanks also to the staff, especially Mr. Paolo, who looked after us throughout the evening with the utmost attention and courtesy. The quality of the products served was excellent, well-prepared, and with generous portions, all accompanied by excellent live music. The price was more than reasonable for what was offered. Finally, thanks to Irene who, despite the late hour, served us coffee and liqueurs.
Thanks to everyone for a wonderful evening.

Hello everyone! The other day we went to the Riva Smeralda pizzeria and restaurant, and I have to say we had a great time.
We were happy with their service.
I recommend the Riva Smeralda restaurant in Milazzo (ME), because they welcome their customers with kindness.

I visited this restaurant-pizzeria on an August evening with my family. The place is truly a gem, overlooking the sea. We ordered fried chips, fried fish, and an appetizer of parmigiana, caponata, and eggplant roulade. We followed this with pizzas (pistacchiosa, seafood, and Valtellina flavors), seafood risotto, busiate pasta with swordfish and eggplant, and Aeolian-style swordfish roulade. What can I say? We were all more than satisfied. The service was friendly and attentive. The shuttle service that takes you directly to the restaurant was also excellent. The evening was lively with live music, and there was even entertainment for the little ones. Highly recommended!
