Riva del Mare in Kappeln

It wasn't that good and overpriced

We weren't happy with the ice cream sundaes because we assumed we had made our own ice cream. Carelessly decorated ice cream sundaes and sprayed cream.

Food tasted good, potatoes and pasta were still too hard, service was poor or unfriendly. Unfortunately not recommended

Service was okay. The beepers that cellars have in their pockets to hear when the next food has to come out are annoying. Otherwise they were quick, nice and friendly. The pizza my husband had wasn't that tasty. Underbaked and poorly seasoned. That's what you expect from an Italian. My penne gorgonzola with spinach was very tasty. Maybe we'll try it again sometime.

Food is ok, but it's probably - now it's getting flat - a matter of taste. ;-) Unfortunately only cash payment is possible, invoice/receipt only upon request! That's where you start to think about it...

So I personally can NOT confirm the negative reviews. The salmon was very tasty, as were the side dishes. The fried potatoes were crispy but still soft to eat. The staff were very friendly and the location was simply great. People enjoyed eating here

We ate grilled salmon with fried potatoes and salad. Just super delicious.

A nice outdoor space to enjoy ice cream, cakes, coffee, or a real meal on the other side.

Unfortunately, I can agree with the many “negative” comments. Unfortunately the meat was fried. The side salad was rather bland. Not recommended for the price/performance ratio.

Ate here for the first time and it was really good ☺️ Everyone enjoyed it and the portions were good. Good value for money. Nice view of the harbor. We felt very comfortable 😊

Bad food and bad service! Accepts cash only.

The only good thing is the location. The quality of the food was very poor, the service was terrible and when we had to pay in cash without any prior notice because card payment is generally not possible, we were served. Not recommended!!!

You can sit well here in a pleasant atmosphere, right by the harbor. Unfortunately, the actual purpose of such a location is not fulfilled here. Basically there is a lack of any kind of gastronomic training. Hitting dishes and reaching all over the table is the smallest problem. If you like good food and want to be served appropriately, you shouldn't come here.

Very nice from the outside, nice ambience, Food came very quickly. Unfortunately not seasoned and nothing special. Not recommended for the price!

The food was very bad: over salted calamari made on bad oil, pre-made pizza and very unfriendly and unprofessional service - when i said that i didn’t like the food (and i didn’t eat anything from the plate) the waiter just nodded and left - no further discussions, offering a compliment or excluding it from the bill. i would strongly suggest not to waste your money and time here. very surprised by rather high ragging for this place.

The Beate restaurant at the harbor is so delicious here by far

Tomato with mozzarella (one tomato and half a mozzarella, two 🌿 leaves for 10.50€) :( Without words….

Pizza disgusting! Good staff, none! Card payment, not possible, was then mentioned when paying!

Once and never again - if I could 0 stars for this disaster! The staff has difficulty communicating, you are ignored and you literally have to beg to be served! The tortellini were poured straight from the bag onto the plate, they weren't even warmed up, the dough was raw and hard. Served with aged ham. A plate was completely chipped and a small pile of pasta was presented on it. Our waitress was wearing completely dirty/dirty pants and a T-shirt. You didn't feel comfortable at all with the absolutely bad food - no ambience! There is no indication that payment is only possible in cash, no signs, no information from the staff. There was also no invoice. Absolute disaster and disgrace for the catering industry!

The food was really great....but.....the service was subpar. The non-German speaking employees felt like they only knew the word... "Ready?" The German-speaking employees didn't care if the glasses were empty or if you wanted a dessert. They preferred to chat among themselves and if you indicated that you wanted to pay, it was "ignored"? NO CARD PAYMENT possible without a note when ordering. It's not on any posters or anywhere else. We didn't get an invoice either. Just ask yourself why!!!!

The staff doesn't make much of an effort and the fish platter for just under 33 euros was a failure. Bruscetta in advance was great!

Maybe I should have read the reviews beforehand... The food came quickly and looked really good, but the quality leaves a lot to be desired. A rump steak had a super thick bacon rind, the fish was twice as bad, the dressing on the salad wasn't seasoned, the fried potatoes were super soggy.....

Chock full and just average pizza. Service friendly. Unfortunately no card payment possible. Incomprehensible in times when I already pay by telephone at market stalls.

I ate there twice and both tasted the same.

The food was lukewarm, instead of medallions there were strips of fillet, the staff didn't care what German they spoke (the guest wasn't even able to organize an ashtray, we should look for it ourselves in the restaurant), instead of clearing the table we preferred to sit down the side alley and plays on his cell phone, unfortunately the rest of the wait staff cannot communicate adequately with the guests. There was no question as to whether you wanted something more to drink, rather you had to ask for the bill.

Here you feel welcome. The food and service is nothing to complain about. Top.

Pleasant atmosphere right on the water, Fresh, delicious food, very friendly staff.

Unfortunately that was a “sentence with X” the fish was twice as dead and the dressing on the salads was bland. Unfortunately the food wasn't seasoned, and unfortunately it wasn't put on the table for seasoning either. A dish was forgotten. Glasses weren't washed clean either. The non-German speaking staff tried hard. The waitress didn't even listen to the criticism. It's a shame, it could be better!!!

We stood outside at the ice cream stand with others. Were simply ignored by the waitress. At 2 EUR per ball you probably don't need it because of your wealth.

Yummy. Fish the day before yesterday, pizza today. Yummy

Very unfriendly, the restaurant has seen better places and the food is average at best and way too expensive.

We only ate ice cream there. Service was fine even though there wasn't much going on.

Ordered small bitter lemon and got large one. Same with ginger ale. Fried fish rolls with very thin dried fish and slightly fried rolls. Rest of the food like plaice and salmon was ok.

Cozy restaurant at the harbor with a great view of the Kappeln harbor. We were served quickly. A service person brought us the drinks rather listlessly, our child's pizza was forgotten and had to be made (we were not told this... "in a minute, yes?"). They could have been honest here and given us a discount. The pizza was ready when we had already finished eating. The result was a whiny child, some of whom ate with us. It's a shame, but good service and hospitality are different. The food was good, there is nothing to complain about here. All in all, an unfortunate experience for us.

Delicious food and a beautiful view of the harbor

We were looking forward to a lovely evening. Unfortunately, this went a bit wrong. The glass of water was completely dirty and there was a paper price tag in the food. The waiter's response when paying: "Hmm, that shouldn't happen." That was the end of it.

All the dishes have always been delicious. Nice service. Unfortunately only cash payment but it can be set up. Nicely located in the harbor with a view of the Schlei.

The waiter switched the order with another table, when we pointed this out to the waiter he rushed to the other table and took the people's food away again. He then brought the plate to our table as it was. He claimed the other guests hadn't eaten any of it. Even if this is true, it is an absolute no-go for hygiene reasons. There was no apology and no offer to get a new plate. The service seemed “loveless”. The meal was okay. We won't visit the restaurant a second time.

Very, very tasty pizza and pasta. Nice and courteous staff. Attention - no card payment possible.

We ordered a fish platter for two people, which was very clear and served on a plastic tray. The fish was fried and dry, the 4 scampis were also fried. Unfortunately not recommended at all!

Nice restaurant, service was nice and courteous, but the food was a bit too fatty for our taste.

Unfortunately, some expensive ice cream, which didn't really blow your socks off. Ball for €2, which is quite small. Ice cream chocolate for €6.50 with a little cream and half a scoop of vanilla ice cream says it all. If you had known beforehand, you would have saved the money.

Great restaurant in the harbor area on the Schlei in Kappeln. The staff was very nice, the order went very quickly despite the restaurant's full outdoor area, and the drinks arrived in no time. Not bad at all! Ordered food, two pizzas, two pasta dishes. All four dishes were very, very tasty. The pizzas were a little different than usual, and an extra request was also taken into account. Everything was perfect for us! The price of everything is absolutely okay for today's standards. We would eat there again...on our next vacation!?

The water for the children didn't come, the third cutlery wasn't brought even after the second request, the fish was thinner than some fried potato slices and correspondingly dry after grilling and a shandy was brought instead of beer. All in all very disappointing.

Friendly and attentive service, so we didn't have to wait long for our food. The selection of food is good and it tasted great. I deducted one star because I found the drinks overpriced.

What more could you wish for? We'd love to come back

We ate here 3 times on our vacation and every time everything was great, price performance was right and the waitresses were super friendly, there is a solution for everything, we'll be back soon *****👍👌08/2021 everything is the same here again tip top food and service and the menu has been refreshed a bit with great new dishes keep it up *****👍👌07/24/2022 we stopped by again and everything was the same as before tip top 👌

Mass processing, some service staff make an effort, others unfortunately don't. Given the prices, I expect more friendliness, more service and the food needs better quality!

The service is a disaster and the drinks are overpriced. Coffee and ice cream are OK, but not good. We don't have to go there again.

Directly at the harbor pier. You can sit outside well. Pizza tastes good.

Food is great. Only recommended.

Ate well and cheaply. Friendly service. Gladly again

Delicious coffee and cake, the service is friendly and attentive. The prices correspond to what is usually charged here.

We were turned away because the kitchen supposedly closes at 2000 p.m.... unfriendly and negative service... then we preferred to go to the neighboring restaurant

An average restaurant. The food was good, the service was nice. The prices are, as expected given the location right on the water, a bit too high.

There is a large selection of Italian specialties. The service was attentive. It was very comfortable outside. The price-performance ratio is okay.

We ate delicious ice cream there with a great view of the harbor and the drawbridge

The food was good, unfortunately the fried potatoes were too fatty and the sauce was far too little. For dessert there was only ice cream, we ordered 2 Bailys ice cream. We first got 1 ice cream without Bailys and without chocolate sauce. Then we were told that the cream was out, then after 10 minutes we got the second ice cream, that was ok. We then wanted to pay, but it is only possible with cash. Card payment is not possible, we could have been told that beforehand

Very tasty dishes. Friendly service and right at the harbor.

Nice personel. We only had something to drink on the outside area

Super delicious pizza, really nice service and with a view of the Schlei 👍🏼 Price-performance ratio is completely reasonable

We've been coming back for 4 years. Delicious food and great guys doing the service there.

We were very disappointed with the strawberry sundae. Two very small chopped strawberries are simply not enough, and that in strawberry season! The ice cream and cream were ok.

Very tasty food. With a view of the water...nice service

Good pizza, decent portions. The only small downer: There is no small pizza for the children in the children's meals. That's a bit of a shame. It was still tasty and the outdoor area was a dream when the weather was good!

Table reserved, arrived, no space. Set 6.

Nice personel Delicious food Fast service

Bad ice cream, bad service. We won't come back. Even one star is too many

Visited for the first time yesterday with a group of 5 people. Previous reservation (online) worked, service was very attentive and friendly and food was very good. Prices within the usual range. Recommended!

If the food was as good as the service, we could recommend the restaurant with a clear conscience. Unfortunately disappointed with the food, very unfortunate. Spacious indoor area and also good places outside with a view of the Schlei. Toilets clean. Service top!

Attention well. A great price/performance ratio. Was content.

I ate pasta there that was simply awesome. My colleagues all ate different dishes and were also thrilled

Very tasty and perfectly prepared fresh food. Friendly service. Price/performance good. Short waiting time, nice to sit outside at the harbor. Gladly again.

Finkenwerder-style plaice was okay. I had two small plaices with fried potatoes and some salad.

Once and never again! That's not Italian! The staff is unfriendly, argues loudly with each other and can't do math. It was definitely an accident! ;-) Coffee & cake, just one restaurant further... Good food, choose one beforehand or another of the good restaurants at the harbor. NOT HERE (anymore)! That applies to me! Everyone can test it for themselves first. :-)

Super accommodating and friendly service. Delicious food whether warm or cold. We recommend.

The food was manageable and too expensive. Taste wise 4 out of 10 points…

Everything was fine again. Fast friendly service. Coffee, ice cream, cake was good. Prices good. Toilet clean. Food at the next tables (fish) looked good and was said to be great. I like being here.

Very good food. No matter whether pizza pasta or fish

Good selection of cakes. Fast service.

Is a nice restaurant. The service is courteous and makes an effort. The pizza and simple meat dishes were also good and sufficient. Unfortunately, due to the relatively small portions, the noodle lovers went home hungry. It was a pleasant visit but unfortunately a little overpriced for what you get.

I would have liked more fish in the breading for the pollack fillet. The service was quite slow, but everything else was ok.

Absolutely the worst food ever 😔 0 stars from here - it's definitely not recommended to leave money with them - and only cash... wonder why

Only cash payment, but it doesn't say anywhere, the waiter doesn't point this out to you. There is no invoice either, which is very strange. I would send the tax office there.

We stopped here during a bike tour. Friendly service and prompt service. The two pizzas were also very tasty. We also sat quite nicely. We'd love to come back.

Very dirty, no card payment, staff just stood around (including in the kitchen) and left

the service was friendly It was delicious 😋

The ice cream was overpriced, tasted so-so. The latte was lukewarm. This is definitely better and, above all, cheaper. Here you pay for the view.

Unfortunately, ready-made cake. Nice personel Price performance rather poor.

The ice cream and the view are great, you really can't complain. Which is a bit disappointing that only cash payment is accepted. You can reach a bank in 2 minutes on foot, but it's a bit inconvenient. We like coming here, but we still ask every time whether card payments are now accepted :D

Very tasty food and very friendly staff. We were there several times. We recommend.

The place was unclean, especially the seat cushions. My coffee cup still had residual marks from the previous user. Of the 9 types of cake offered, 4 were not available and that was in the early afternoon. Staff wasn't very attentive. Cashless payment wasn't possible either.

The dog had choked so much that everyone was in an uproar. The friendly employee immediately agreed to reschedule the reservation for tomorrow. TOP, thank you very much

No card payment possible...not possible at all. Without prior announcement.

An unfriendly young man would rather have a conversation with his colleague than sell me 3 scoops and then charge €2 per small scoop rather than €6 for 3 small scoops of ice cream and then mushy claim everything will be more expensive! This is simply cheeky and overpriced! That was the first and last time I bought the ice cream!

Delicious food, dogs are allowed, children too. 🤭. Friendly staff and good service. The fish was very tasty, as was my ice cream. We had 4 dishes and dessert. The hot cherries for ice cream came without any additional sauce and were therefore not the best choice, we have had much better. The drinks and food were quickly at the table. No long waiting times. Not even when it comes to payment. I recommend a visit.

We were recently there as part of our holiday in the region. We rarely have high expectations of an Italian restaurant in Germany. Most of the time pizza and pasta taste average and far from the real Italian reality. But what we will see on March 25th. What we found in the "Riva del Mare" in the evening was simply amazing. My wife and I each ordered a pizza. And what must say? The pizzas were outstanding! A pizza dough to melt and kneel down on. Really good. Possibly the best pizza we have ever eaten outside of Italy. The rest was also correct. Nice service, modern atmosphere. TOP recommendation!

Hello, my dears I went out to eat with my family. We ordered all sorts of things and I have to say the pizza bread is an absolute must. Super delicious if you like garlic. The carpaccio was unfortunately watery and there was no rocket. Unfortunately the daily offer (mussels) wasn't available either. The service is first class🍦, very nice staff and very accommodating. It was clean and tasty. Ps: The fish platter for one person is also highly recommended and is enough for two. LG BB

Nicely located, but you have to work on the fish kitchen, guys...

Ordered pizza from home. Pizza wasn't good for €15. Tasteless toppings and sweet pizza dough that wasn't fully baked.
