RIVEnoteca In Como

The food was excellent. The restaurant cooks seasonally with regional ingredients. The portions (first and second courses) are a bit small, so it's recommended to have an appetizer if you're very hungry. My friend had a meat platter for starters and fish ravioli for the main course. I had truffle spaghetti. For dessert, we shared a tiramisu. We started off with a welcome from the kitchen, and I should mention that they took my vegetarian needs into consideration – very thoughtful! The staff gave us a warm welcome and were very friendly throughout our entire stay. We felt very comfortable. The ambiance (we had an outside table) was wonderful. It was lovely in this little alleyway. The wine bar (self-service wine vending machine) was well explained to us and was easy to use. The wine was delicious. We would come again.

A pleasant discovery amidst the streets of Como, a tranquil haven where you can enjoy excellent wine paired with quality cuisine. What will win you over most, however, is Francesca's professionalism and her wine knowledge, the opportunity to experiment with the vast selection by the glass, and the pleasant, intimate atmosphere. Highly recommended

A true highlight in Como! Upon entering, we were warmly welcomed and immediately informed about the special concept of the wine vending machine – a great idea! There are 24 different wines to choose from: 2 rosés, 10 white wines, and 12 red wines, all carefully selected from the surrounding regions around Como. The wines can be easily dispensed in three different quantities – you simply insert a chip card into the vending machine and select your wine at the touch of a button. The service was extremely friendly and attentive. We were greeted with a delicious welcome from the kitchen. A particularly nice touch: our shared appetizer was immediately divided between two plates – a small detail that makes a big difference. The main courses were very tasty, albeit rather small portions – quality is clearly paramount here. Overall, a wonderful experience for wine lovers and connoisseurs. I'd love to come back!

First we got a background story and small tour. Very nice to know that the ingredients are only local produce. Great attention to detail in terms of the food. You can sense how much work has been put in the development of the meals. It’s possible to taste a bunch of wines in different quantities at a self service bar. It has a very classy feel and the service was great too. Kind and to the point. Great atmosphere. Perfect music and again great focus on the details. Very beautiful simple tablewear. Definitely one of the highlights of our stay. We recommend.

Loved the self serve wine concept, and great wine selection. Pasta was well done. Duck breast dish was both overcooked and under seasoned, both duck breast and vegetables

An excellent dinner with attentive service. Special mention to the excellent wine selection and the sommelier who gave us excellent advice!

Wonderful dinner experience. The dishes were perfectly executed and paired with excellent hand-picked wine.

Tucked away from the busy streets is this incredible place. EVERYTHING about here is exceptional. The food is locally sourced, beautiful and fresh. The wine fabulous and the service just wow! A wonderfully, homely experience. We were made to feel very special.

Perfecto para una cena romántica. El proceso de selección del vino fue la primera vez para mí y mi pareja y la comida no se quedó corta en absoluto.

Excelente comida en un entorno maravilloso. El personal estaba bien informado sobre la comida y su procedencia. Magnífica colección de vinos locales y nacionales por copa o por botella. Una experiencia realmente encantadora
