Awesome service and great food. All dishes were great. Special wishes supported, like my half sized meal after salad.

Excellent, excellent food! Service is good and atmosphere amazing within the walls of Riva. We asked the server for recommendations and he said everything is good, just order what you like. This is either an indication of lack of knowledge of the menu on his part, or full confidence in the menu. Turned out the latter was true as everything we ordered was splendid. Highly recommend the Gnocchi Gorgonzola. Tuna salad, and bruschetta apps were great as well. The Rose wine from Croatia was also nice paired with all the dishes. Prices very, very fair. 210 Euro for two bottles of wine and a few dishes to share for six people. A little over 35 Euro per person not bad at all, including two bottles.

We started with mussels dish and it was amazingly good. We didn’t expect that buy was really good. Afterwards we ordered noodles with salmon and shrimp and also seabass dish and both were delicious. The waiter was really friendly and did a great job. We just don’t understand why they got so many bad reviews. You should try out.

Walking within the historic city walls looking for a ‘mid price’ restaurant… we found it at the Aquarelle Bistro. The food was good and we looked to our waiter to choose the appropriate wine. The major differentiation ( there is so much competition) was our waiter … helpful and very welcoming. Lovely ambience

Nice ambience with good food. Best thing was the exceptional and super-fast service. It matters when the servers are cheerful and interactive.only Disappointment was that the ale beer was not in stock. Fresh orange juice and other cold beer was good and so were most of the dishes. Order a little less because the serving is quite big.
