Restaurant RIVA - Mediterran Inspiriert in Bremen

Absolutely recommended, top notch from A to Z!

Just watch the video, the dish is carbonara. There's probably nothing else to comment on...

Great service, nice atmosphere. The selection is small but of high quality and tastes very good.

Good restaurant and nice service. Everyone at the table enjoyed it very much

Everything was tip top, highly recommended.

Eine sehr schöne Location in toller Lage mit Blick auf den Fluss. Modern eingerichtet und schön illuminiert. Da unser Tisch noch nicht ganz fertig vorbereitet war, erhielten wir von einem sehr netten und aufmerksamen Restaurantleiter vier Prosecco gereicht. Man weiß hier was sich gehört. Unser Platz am Fenster mit Weserblick war wunderschön und wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Servicekraft, die für uns zuständig war, kümmerte sich fürsorglich um uns und war außerordentlich angenehm in seiner Ansprache. Die Karte versprach leckere Gerichte und war professionell gestaltet. Die Antipasti war sehr gut zubereitet. Das Risotto wiederum hatte nicht den richtigen Gargrad und das Fleisch hatte nichts mit Saltimbocca zu tun. Übergarte Fleischröllchen trifft es eher. Bei der Zubereitung des Fleisches ist also leider Luft nach oben. Wenn in der Küche noch nachgesteuert wird, könnte dieses Restaurant noch mehr punkten.

Very tasty food, first-class service in a very nice atmosphere.

Very tasty food, very high quality, friendly and attentive service and nice ambience.

Delicious food. Very friendly staff. EVERYTHING fits here.

The food was good - the doneness of the meat was great. However, the piece was a little too small for the price. It was too dark in the dining room for me. Other guests had to use their cell phone flashlight to read the map.

We're always happy to be there. Super delicious food, nice ambience and nice staff. I particularly like the fish dishes at Riva, they are always great.

The Riva has a very good location on the Weser and a great ambience. Even when the restaurant was full, the acoustics were very good and you could have a good conversation at the table without any loud background noise. The staff is super friendly and professional, everything went like clockwork. A great selection of food. The dishes conjured up by the kitchen were super tasty and good value for money, at least when you compare the general increased prices in the catering industry. It was an all-round successful evening where everything was just right!! Many thanks to the Riva team, especially Ozan!

Sensationally delicious food, very good attentive service, ambience just 5 stars. Surf and Turf: Medium rare beef fillet to perfection, lobster tail delicious and slightly crunchy. Green asparagus (grilled?) a feast, etc. Ox cheeks another feast. Totally tender, no need to chew. just enjoy the taste. Plus delicious red wine. Koch would have earned many toques

My birthday party was excellently prepared and organized by the entire Rivas team. A big compliment to the kitchen with very tasty and fine dishes. In addition, a very warm and very attentive service. An unforgettable evening. Thank you very much!

Great food, perfect service and a cozy atmosphere!

Four of us were there on a Saturday evening, we were surprised at how quiet the evening was and how great the service from Bianca was. High praise, that was a very nice evening! Best regards Herbert Schöne

The food is amazing, it couldn't be better

Good food in a pleasant atmosphere and beautiful views

You can enjoy very good cuisine in a great atmosphere. The service is very friendly and accommodating. The price/performance ratio is absolutely acceptable.

I always thought Riva was very good, but I was often disappointed on my last visits. The risotto portion was reduced by half, so that for €23 you don't even come close to being full. Furthermore, the service at reception and on the telephone is not exactly friendly. The last time the wrong dish was served, which I don't think is a bad thing at all - it can always happen! But there was no reasonable apology. Unfortunately the Riva will be avoided in the future :(

Birthday dinner on 2/1/25. One can only praise the excellent cuisine of the upscale gastronomy and the service, there is nothing to complain about. The ambience is pleasant but relatively loud and everything is very tight. It is difficult for people with disabilities. Wheelchair/walker access is only possible via a lift, which cannot be operated independently. Registration is required (via reception, which can only be reached via stairs). The disabled toilet also serves as a chair storage and cannot be used. There is an urgent need for action here to implement appropriate precautions.

Very tasty food, great service and atmosphere. ADDENDUM MAY 2020: good implementation of the Covid 19 concept. You still feel comfortable in the restaurant and the service is very pleasant. Enough distance between the tables!

Very nice atmosphere. Really nice in summer with the Weser out at the back. A dream. The food, staff and service are great.

Great food and very nice/attentive staff. The good service also extends to the other restaurants in the group (Deck 20 and Q1). There are some restaurants (service desert in Germany) that are no fun but are always a pleasure here. Best regards

Food was very tasty, furnishings were nice.

The food was really bad and that was so sad and it ruined our date totally We couldn’t even eat it I took my first spoon it tasted horrible I decided to try another one and that was the end Paying much for a terrible plate of waste is totally painful especially riding from distance. Having to find a near by restaurant and spend another money that wasn’t budget

Ozan brings the best fizzy!!! Food was great too

Very pleasant evening with very empty food and good service.. of course we will come back :)

Weiß nicht wo ich anfangen soll, es war ein wundervoller Abend. Das Essen wach einfach super, der Nachttisch muss ich sagen war mein Highlight neben dem Service. Ein Danke a Stefan, der einfach seinen Job perfekt beherrscht, und wir und super willkommen und wohl gefühlt haben. Sowas findet man nicht alle Tage, wir werden aufjedefall wieder kommen. Fazit wir kommen wieder!!

My meal was excellent. Perfectly balanced in taste (risotto with green asparagus and spinach leaves on truffle). Ozan, our waitress, went above and beyond and was incredibly nice. All in all a lovely evening in a dignified atmosphere and very good acoustics, so that I could understand the person I was talking to very well.

As always, the food was great and the service was friendly and accommodating.

Very pleasant atmosphere. Friendly service and extremely good food. We liked it very much

You immediately notice the connection with the Q1 near Domshof. Menu, at least when it comes to drinks, is pretty much the same. The wine list is manageable and there is something for everyone when it comes to food. However, the spaghetti carbonara was extremely sticky and couldn't be handled with a spoon alone. Service was extremely friendly, but the location was very out of the way. Next time we will definitely not go there on foot, maybe Q1 again.

Very good restaurant. Everything is perfect here - location, ambience, food, service. Very happy again.

Very tasty food, value for money is right, Location is appealing. The service was particularly impressive. Were kindly guided through the evening by Stefan. Attentive without asking questions too often.

Very nice restaurant, attentive service and a beautiful view

The company event, as requested by me/us, was also carried out. Thanks!!

We were at the Riva again yesterday, it was beautifully decorated, we had the Christmas menu, which was really delicious, the portions were almost too big, the price/performance ratio was absolutely top. Will come back when I'm in Bremen again.

Great service, very tasty food, as always! However, fast delivery. There were practically no free seats in the restaurant (Saturday evening). Our special thanks go to the waitress Sophia: she made our stay in this restaurant even better, clarified all our requests, was very attentive, informed us about the seasonal menu and offered a delicious drink. and it was really tasty! told about the New Year's celebration in the restaurant. All this creates an atmosphere of warmth and comfort. So far - in 2 years in Germany the best service we have ever seen: from Berlin, Hamburg, Düsseldorf. I definitely recommend a visit!

We ate there with 4 people on a Friday evening. Of the four of us, only one was happy with his meal. We had to complain about three meals because it was too cold. When we got it back it was because fish and meat were warmer but everything else wasn't. Not exactly recommended given the prices. In any case, we were there for the last time.

A nice restaurant with a small but sufficient menu. There is the right food for every taste. The prices are sometimes a bit high, but it's still within reason. The Riva advertises its cuisine as being quite good. The ambience is very nice because it is located directly on the Weser in the beautiful Überseestadt. The portion size is also quite good. Unfortunately, my carbonara wasn't at the desired food temperature, so the taste wasn't what you would like. As a starter I had FORMAGGIO AL FORNO, which was very tasty and can be recommended. The CRÈME BRÛLÈE CHOCOLAT is recommended as a dessert. It's a slightly different taste. The service was really great, very attentive and friendly.

Great restaurant with a view of the Weser and a chic terrace. The food was very tasty. Quantity and quality were right! The service team was very friendly and attentive.

Nice atmosphere, very good boiliabaisse. Friendly, attentive service, great location

We recently had dinner at Riva. We ordered the antipasti plate first. It was already delicious 😋. My monkfish was excellent. My husband had the ox cheeks which were also cooked perfectly. The service was very attentive. We will definitely be back.

The ambience on the Weser, especially in the evening with the setting sun, is breathtaking. Small, cozy restaurant with a classy atmosphere and very tasty food 👌

Very nice restaurant with great service and delicious food! We always enjoy coming here.

Very nice club room for a small wedding party of up to 40 people and its own outdoor terrace with a view and access to the Weser

Das Essen war bis auf die Pizzen ok. Die Hauptgerichte fallen leider sehr klein aus, ohne Vorspeisen wird man nicht satt.

Very good value for money. High quality food, very good staff and great ambience. Absolutely recommended.

Unfortunately not so nice. First of all, we were seated for at least 10 minutes before the staff even noticed us. With us there were still 2 tables occupied by 2 people each. 2 employees were outside. Unfortunately there was nothing to eat apart from salad and pizza as the kitchen was preparing for the evening. That's completely ok, but just based on how the staff affected us, we decided to just have a drink and then go somewhere else. I think I'll give it a second try soon.

We celebrated our wedding at Riva and couldn't have imagined a more beautiful location. We spent a wonderful evening there with our 25 guests. The reception in DECK20 and the buffet later in the club room were just great. A big thank you goes out to Michelle & Arnora for the really uncomplicated planning and also for their great accessibility - they were always quick to help with questions and requests. Also a big thank you to chef Uwe for implementing all of our meal wishes; everyone really enjoyed it. And of course also a thank you to barkeeper Max from DECK20 and to the service team from Bianca & Co. Everyone was super accommodating and attentive. We can fully recommend the Riva in a private setting for dining and also for events 🤍

Had a lovely dining experience! The ambiance was cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxed evening. The food was delicious, with rich flavors and fresh ingredients. Service by Lara was exceptional—friendly, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome. Highly recommend!

The location on the Weser is great! The food arrived a little late, but we were fully compensated not only by the sight of the plates. All dishes were super delicious! Highly recommended. Our first visit will definitely not be the last.

A big thank you to the lovely waiter Ozan. Me and my girlfriend felt very comfortable here. He tried very hard to ensure that we had a lovely evening and responded to all of our food wishes. I will come again.

Beautiful location! Delicious food and friendly staff. Highly recommended!

We had a very nice dinner. Very good food and wine. We had delicious antipasti, schnitzel and a great fish soup .

Super beautifully located, directly on the Weser, it invites you to linger. Great terrace where you can sit well in summer. The prices are a bit high but appropriate for the location.

Rarely eaten so well. It took a while but it's not a problem when you're on vacation.

We had the 3 course summer menu. At the beginning there was bread as a greeting from the house and an aperitif. Fast service of the food - we will definitely be back.

10 von 10 ! Wir haben einen wunderbaren Mädelsabend im RIVA verbracht Angefangen mit einer freundlichen Begrüßung wurden wir zu unserem Tisch auf der wirklich - schönen Terrasse - mit Blick auf die Weser begleitet. Das Ambiente ist sehr gepflegt und lädt zum verweilen ein. Wir hatten nur kleinen Appetit und bestellten von der Vorspeisenkarte Die Speisen kamen zügig und waren appetitlich angerichtet - geschmeckt hat es auch :) Der kühle Wein ein Genuss dazu Besonders möchten wir die aufmerksamen Mädels loben, alle durch die Bank Höflich, nicht aufdringlich und sehr freundlich. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und wenn wir nicht hätten fahren müssen Wären wir sicher noch auf ein Glas Wein mehr geblieben ! Lieben Dank an Alexandra unsere Servicekraft und Team für diese tolle Erfahrung!

We were at Riva on a sunny evening with a wonderful ambience on their outdoor terrace. The tasteful ambience fits both inside and on the terrace and it is a great place to go out for a fancy meal. Just like the ambience, the menu and drink menu are also rather upscale and you can choose really nice dishes. Since we eat vegetarian we had a smaller selection but that wasn't a big deal. Starters and desserts are also very tasty and unusual. All in all, I would say that the Riva is a great place to give your palate a special treat and let your soul unwind. We'd love to come back.

We were here for dinner. The location right on the water is great. The prices for the food are high. We had truffle pasta with prawns and a pinsa. The pinsa was very good, the truffle noodles were tasty, but fell short of expectations. The pasta was overcooked, the sauce didn't really taste like truffles - I would have expected more for almost €30. Next time I would choose a different dish 🍴

The food is delicious! The tomato soup with mozzarella is highly recommended. The service and the kitchen are very nice and in a good mood.

Class service. Only recommended!!!!

Incredibly rude staff, as a waitress myself, I can't understand how you can talk to guests in such an aggressive and rude tone. When you then spoke to the boss, the obvious racism was excused by saying that the boss herself was a “Kanackin”. Although it was about the waitress. There will definitely not be another visit from me!

Very good Mediterranean cuisine, a little more expensive, but quite appropriate for the quality and location of the restaurant.

Dennis was our waiter and just super polite, always made sure everything was right and was simply first class. The food was excellent and everything else was really worth the experience.

We had 3 courses today. The food was great, our waiter Dennis was more than accommodating and super nice. I haven't had service like this in a long time. Gladly again!

A successful evening with good food and friendly service.

Great employees, very competent and the cheesecake (shot) is great!

Great food, great cleanliness and on top of that, super nice and competent staff!! Clear recommendation!

Delicious food in a very cozy atmosphere. Prices are a little higher, but definitely appropriate for the portions. Not outstanding, but a nice alternative in Überseestadt.

sat outside Very beautiful view. Delicious food. Unfortunately there was a very long waiting time and no parking space either.

I can not complain. The service was friendly and attentive, the food was perfect and the ambience is very appealing. You're happy to pay a little more! We'd love to come back.

Perfect! We celebrated our wedding at RIVA. The reception and meal took place in the RIVA and the party afterwards in Deck20 right next door. From the very professional planning to last-minute changes and the evening itself, everything was implemented perfectly. Due to the good weather, the celebration took place partly in the restaurant itself and outside. Which lightened the mood a lot. We and our guests were very impressed by the ambience, the food and the courteous service staff. Thank you!

A nice place to stop off. You can also take photos of great sunsets on the water. 👍 😎 🌊 ⚓️ 🌅

Absolutely underground. Pizza oven broken, so no pizzas. The pasta I ordered came in a sticky lump. Also hopelessly overpriced. Guaranteed never again. :-(

Ate a very tasty pasta again. Always my pleasure!

I loved the place, the food was really nice and we had a great time.

Unique atmosphere, super friendly service, food very good, only my steak wasn't quite medium rare, otherwise very tasty

Regular customer from Q1 - Now also tested the Riva. Starter of scallops and black pudding was super tasty. Unfortunately, corn-fed chicken breast is relatively boring, bordering on dry. Ambience class. Entrance a bit hidden. But come back. lg

Nice restaurant on the Weser in Überseestadt in Bremen.

Very nice service, really cozy and nice atmosphere, the food was perfect and delicious. Starter: caramelized goat cheese Main course: ox cheeks Dessert: crème brûlée

One of us has celiac disease, unfortunately the restaurant labeled gluten poorly but when we asked, everything was explained to us. When the food came after a while of waiting, the wrong one was accidentally brought, so we got the food on the house. Great gesture, you can tell that it's a good restaurant that values ​​its customers. We'll be happy to come back and recommend it to others.

We were there twice. Once I had the corn spulard, which tasted okay, but wasn't a highlight as it was a little overcooked on one side. The second time we had the 1kg prawn platter. It was really great both in terms of taste and appearance and was worth the €50! Unfortunately, one thing was missing - since you generally eat unpeeled seafood with your hands (even in 5-star restaurants), there were no bowls to clean your fingers. Alternatively, refreshing towels would have been necessary for this dish. Everyone who served us saw that the napkin got very dirty. But this was not replaced either. Overall, the atmosphere was very pleasant, although we had to wait a long time for the food both times. The first time over an hour. We'll come back for the shrimp ;)

Great restaurant, lunch is even a little better than the evening menu. Overall, absolutely recommended!

Top service! Michelle makes this unique! Finally in a good mood again after lunch👍

Nice restaurant with really good service. I would love to come back. Especially when Michelle serves me ;).

Nice restaurant with a great location. The food was great and the service was perfect.

A nice place right on the Weser. Very good food and friendly service! Perfect for that special occasion.

A beautiful restaurant with a fantastic ambience. The bruschetta in particular is fantastic! Clear recommendation!

We were there for a family dinner with 5 people. Everything was ok, but we ordered saltimbocca, among other things. The "meatballs", which had little to do with it, were completely dry, you couldn't taste the bacon or sage, I couldn't eat them so dry and I complained. At least they brought me a mini pot of sauce. I was also charged €5.00 for this. Really awesome!

Always happy - inside and outside

If you want to enjoy the Weser in style, Riva is the right place for you. You can sit comfortably inside or on the Weser promenade and let your eyes wander over the water and study the menus that promise Mediterranean delicacies. The kitchen does what the menu promises and is served by friendly staff. It's a very pleasant stay here and nothing stands in the way of a long walk along the banks of the Weser.

Food was testy but service was very slow and not kids friendly

Everything was great! We'd love to come back!

Very classy and very modern restaurant directly on the Weser. Great menu with delicious dishes. Great staff. I'd love to come back!

Top service, delicious food and nice ambience. For me it's currently the best restaurant in Bremen. There's no need to write more.

We had a wonderful evening outside on the terrace. Thank you.

The price/performance ratio is absolutely not right here when the restaurant is full. The food is good but rather average despite the unusual menu. Too loud, an unpleasant noise. Conversations are hardly possible. Our waiter forgot drinks several times, among other things, and the crowning achievement was a forgotten dessert. Unfortunately, that doesn't take away from the really beautiful furnishings.
