riva restaurant & bar in Düsseldorf

Wir waren am Samstag um 18:45Uhr im Riva und sind völlig genervt vom Service um 20Uhr gefahren. In der Zeit haben wir genau 2 Bier bekommen. Unser Kellner war ein älterer Herr, scheinbar Italiener, der mehrfach die leeren Gläser sah, am Tisch vorbei lief und aber nicht angesprochen hat. Im vergleich zu vorherigen Besuchen im Riva, war diese Erfahrung katastrophal und eröffnet die Frage, ob man weiterhin Gast des Riva sein wird.

Viel zu laut, zu unpersönlich und zu schnelle Abfertigung. Essen war gut.

Das Riva ist für gutes Essen und guten Service sehr bekannt. Waren sehr zufrieden . Kommen gerne wieder.

Tolle Ambiente Tolles essen Tollere Service Immer wieder gern

Sehr nette Bedienung, brechend voll. Super Stimmung. Keine Ahnung wie das die Küche schafft fast 300 Leute zu bewirten. Aber es funktioniert, und das Essen war ausgezeichnet. Von den Süßkartoffel Pommes bis hin zum Rinderfilet, Gambas, oder zur Seezunge. Alles Spitzenklasse. Es ist halt laut, wenn man sich wirklich unterhalten will, ist das der falsche Platz.

Essen phantastisch . Alles SUPER . Atmosphäre phantastisch

Ich war schon öfter im Riva und es war eigentlich immer gut aber diesmal war das Essen so versalzen und die Nudeln so weich gekocht dass es das Geld wirklich nicht wert war. Zudem sitzt man drinnen so eng dass es echt unbequem ist mit anderen Leuten nebenan da man kaum an den Tischen vorbeikommt. Der Service war an sich in Ordnung aber nicht besonders freundlichen und aufmerksam. Ich denke es war mein letzter Besuch denn ich war sehr enttäuscht.

Wunderbares Restaurant. Essen ist köstlich! Hat meines Erachtens nach einen Michelin Stern verdient. Personal Super professionell und schnell.

Sehr netter Abend mit gutem Wein und leckeren Speisen. So stelle ich mir das vor.

Superfreundlicher sehr aufmerksamer Service. Angenehme Atmosphäre.

Das Essen war lecker und der Service sehr gut. Mir persönlich stehen die Tische viel zu eng beieinander und die Musik ab 21 Uhr war so laut, dass es nicht möglich war, ein Gespräche am Tisch zu führen.

Das einzige relativ positive war das essen. Worauf wir aber 1½ Stunden warten mussten, als es dann endlich da war war das essen schon relativ kalt. Preis-Leistung total übertrieben, nur zwei offene Weinsorten. War ne Erfahrung aber nochmal werden wir dort nicht essen.

We had a reservation for 8 people for 10 PM. We were simply sent into the restaurant and left to our own devices (despite the reservation). Eventually, we were seated at the bar to wait, where we were more of a hindrance than a help. No one attended to us. When we still hadn't been seated by 10:30 PM, we asked the waiter what the situation was, and he told us to keep waiting. There was no apology or anything of the sort. We ended up leaving the restaurant.

Ein wirklich gutes Restaurant mit tollem Essen, einer der Kellner wirkte an dem Tag etwas überfordert, wurde aber durch die Kollegen aufgefangen. In der Gesamtheit werden wir gerne wiederkommen.

We were there with a large group. Reservations are mandatory. The food was very good, and the service excellent. However, the large room is very noisy.

Alles war bestens! Vielen Dank, wir kommen gerne wieder!

After a long time, I went back to Riva with a friend and had a lovely evening. The food, the service, the ambiance, the crowd, and the occasional live music – everything was perfect! For me, it's one of the top three locations in Düsseldorf's Media Harbor.

Very high quality food, a bit expensive, but still great

Wir hatten eine tolle Datenight in tollem Ambiente und mit vorzüglichem Essen.

Hier passt einfach alles! Wir kommen gerne wieder! 

Delicious food at reasonable prices. Friendly service.

war einfach fantastisch! Die Sauce war perfekt gewürzt scharf, aber nicht zu scharf und die Pasta war al dente. Ein echtes Geschmackserlebnis!

Unfortunately, very disappointed! There were six of us at "riva" and unfortunately, we had to endure a very long wait of over an hour for our food. That was truly disappointing, especially because the service left much to be desired. We almost had to search for a waiter ourselves to even order – which in itself is a bad sign for a restaurant in this price range. But that wasn't all: When the waiter finally arrived, our order was only half-taken. This, of course, caused further misunderstandings and inconveniences. Unfortunately, the price-performance ratio was not justified for what we saw on the bill at the end. While the quality of the food was okay, the service unfortunately spoiled the overall impression. Based on these negative experiences, I unfortunately cannot recommend "riva." There are many better options in Düsseldorf that offer significantly better service and value for money.

I've enjoyed visiting Riva in the past and have held many business meetings there – the food is excellent and the ambiance is very nice. Unfortunately, this time I had a very disappointing experience: If you arrive in a suit with clients, you'll be treated courteously and get a table without any problems. However, if you show up in jeans and a polo shirt, you'll initially be left standing in the middle of the restaurant until, after a while, you're rather reluctantly seated. We were finally assigned a table, but with the warning that we could only stay for a limited time, as "everything was reserved" – in a nearly empty restaurant. A few tables had reservation signs, but most didn't, even though they were supposedly also reserved. As the meal progressed, we were given strange looks, while other guests were immediately seated, offered water, and served as a matter of course. We were neither poured water nor asked if we'd like some. I've never been treated so disrespectfully in a restaurant. Especially with regard to customer loyalty, it's a shame that people act so aloof here – until now, I've always been welcome and welcomed. Unfortunately, I will be looking for another venue for business meetings in the future.

Super Lokal mit tollem Service, Sehr leckeres Essen mit tollen Getränken.

Top restaurant for a lovely evening! The location is right on the water, and you can take a lovely stroll afterward. The ambiance in the restaurant is also beautiful. The food and dessert were both delicious. A bit on the higher end, in keeping with the restaurant, but in my opinion, everything was still within reason. The staff was very friendly, and we didn't have to wait long. Highly recommended!

We had to wait 10 minutes at the entrance and weren't even spoken to, even though four waiters looked at us. What a pity...

Top store🤍 Everything is just really good. Beautifully decorated, you feel comfortable – everything is simply top☺️

The food is absolutely not good. Very bad. I celebrated my birthday with a small group. Everyone was disappointed with the food. Totally tasteless and overpriced. You're more likely to pay for the location. Even that couldn't save it. The staff asked every five seconds if you wanted to order. Everything was too hectic. There was no calm or cozy atmosphere. Pure disappointment. You're more likely to find good prices in the old town. I don't understand all the positive reviews. Definitely not a recommendation.

The food was very tasty this time. I ordered the Kiko chicken. The price-performance ratio wasn't quite right; it was rather overpriced, but that's certainly due to the location. Our server was friendly, and the service team in general, plus the entrance area, is a bit unusual. Overall, though, it was a pleasant evening.

Disappointing experience at Riva – the value for money is completely out of place! I was looking forward to a lovely evening at Riva, but was bitterly disappointed. The value for money is, in my opinion, an absolute disgrace. A Wiener Schnitzel for €40, which arrived on the table after only five minutes, makes me seriously doubt that it was freshly prepared. This was fast-food quality at an absolutely exorbitant gourmet price. Even the truffle fries for €18 couldn't compensate for the poor quality of the main course. One wonders how such prices can be justified for this level of service. Added to that was the absolutely unacceptable service. The waiter seemed listless, unprofessional, and seemed to see his job as more of a burden. The climax was when he asked me for a tip while paying and responded to my reply that I wouldn't leave one with ridicule and teasing in German and his native language. Such behavior is unacceptable and has no place in the restaurant industry. In summary, a visit to Riva was an expensive disappointment. For this price, I expect fresh, high-quality food and professional, friendly service. Instead, I felt like I was at a fast-food restaurant that was ripping me off. Save your money and go somewhere else.

Alles bestens wie immer. Ein gelungener Abend. Kommen seit Jahren hier hin.

The food was great. Great space to have dinner. But the waitress was more focused on having conversations with the DJ than serving.

War ein schöner Abend, muss man sich aber leisten können … besonders hat mir der Gesang vom Chef gefallen! Wir kommen bestimmt irgendwann mal gerne wieder

The worst experience ever, i went to have dinner alone and they completely ignored my table, i had to ask for menu 2 times for it to come. The food was awful zero taste and expensive for nothing, i asked for drink menu and the waiter answerd me in a very rude way like why do you need it tell me what you want , i said i want to see the menu, then he brought it and throw it on my table, and then gone again for sometime, they made me feel awful just because i was having dinner alone. I understand the clientele is a bit diff but in means this mean to treat me like this, especially im also paying money. I noticed how the waiters chat and laugh and waste time instead of making sure everytable is served, the couple sitting next to me had to also ask many times to be served , the waiter keeps running and being rude and very far from elegant, never going back there and never recommending it to anyone. The waiter was also taking to me in Italian, its not even german or english . The only highlight is the guy at the door, he was kind and good representation.

Top-notch food, top-notch service, everything was perfect! I always enjoy coming here.

A slightly artificial Italian flair with average convenience food.

We had a lovely evening at Riva in Düsseldorf's Media Harbor. The atmosphere is modern and elegant, and the location directly on the water is impressive – perfect for a relaxed dinner in a stylish setting. The evening was a culinary success: The sea bass was excellently cooked – crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside – and beautifully presented. The shrimp salad was also fresh, well-seasoned, and prepared with high-quality ingredients. Both dishes were absolutely top-notch in terms of taste. The service was friendly, but at times seemed a bit overwhelmed. The waits between courses were longer than necessary, and a little more attention to the drinks would have been appreciated. The prices are on the high side – understandable given the ambiance and the quality of the food, although at this price level, one might expect a bit more precision in the service.

Essen war gut wir haben Austern bestellt, Trüffelpommes und Tuna Tartar und Wein dazu. Das Essen war sehr gut abgesehen vom Tuna Tartar eher eine 6/10, aber der Service war schlimm… wir haben gemerkt, dass es anfing zu regnen und wir saßen draußen. Daraufhin haben wir die Kellner gebeten uns umzusetzen und sie meinten es gäbe kein Tisch mehr frei. Andere Menschen wurden umgesetzt und als es stärker angefangen hat zu regnen, wurde das Essen nass und man hat uns nur gefragt ob wir zahlen möchten. Aufgrunddessen möchten wir nicht mehr zurück…

Very good, high-quality food! A chic clientele. The prices are correspondingly higher.

Stylish ambience with an exclusive flair – but loud. The Riva bar exudes a real "Rich Monaco Nights" vibe – modern, chic, and very busy. However, the atmosphere is quite loud, making it almost impossible to have a conversation at the table. The clientele seems rather elite, which is probably reflected in the rather high prices. The staff, however, were extremely friendly, attentive, and professional – absolutely top-notch! The restrooms were clean and well-maintained. If you're looking for a stylish evening with an exclusive flair, this is the place for you – but don't expect a quiet lounge atmosphere.

Thank you for the delicious Margherita and delicious espresso 😋

Wir waren lange nicht mehr im RIVA. Hatten für Freunde aus der Schweiz auf der Terrasse reserviert….die Terrasse war nicht ausgebucht… Wir fanden die Bestuhlung auf der Terrasse zu eng aneinander, Tisch an Tisch, kaum Privatsphäre, Leider wurden die Bratkartoffeln zum Schnitzel viel zu spät zum Tisch gebracht, eine zum Essen bestellte extra Portion Spinat kam erst viel später nach Erinnerung (wurde wohl nicht in der Küche bestellt) …, für die Kurse, die dort aufgerufen werden, naja Das Service-Personal sehr freundlich und nett. Hatten RIVA besser in Erinnerung, schade.

We sat here with a larger group in the winter garden and were absolutely thrilled. The service, the ambiance, the music, and of course the food were all incredibly good. I had the veal tarts, and they were the best I've ever eaten. Of course, the price is a bit higher here, but it's absolutely worth it. I highly recommend stopping by.

Unfortunately this is not a good place to dine. The service is terribly slow because there doesn't seem to be enough staff. The food is very expensive for what it is. Most of the restaurant is outside which is ok until someone is smoking next to you, especially as the tables are very close together. It's not very comfortable because the chairs don't tuck in under the tables, it's a gravel floor, and the tables are large meaning you're really far away from your companion. We went because it was on the amex platinum list and so the meal was free, otherwise we would have been very disappointed

Das Wetter war warm und sonnig, so dass wir Draussen sitzen konnten. Unser Essen war sehr gut und lecker. Es war sehr voll und der Geräuschpegel dementsprechend. Der Service war sehr gut. Alle Tische waren belegt und wir wurden dennoch schnell bedient. Auch die Vorspeise, Hauptspeise und der Nachtisch wurden schnell an unseren Tisch gebracht. Alle Mitarbeiter waren sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

We had booked a table on the terrace through Open Table. I then wrote directly to Riva again, requesting a terrace. A response came promptly, saying yes, but no guarantee of where! It's always busy there! When we arrived at 6:00 p.m., the outdoor area was empty. The ambiance is pleasant, and the tables are well spaced from the neighboring table. We had expected better quality from the food, especially considering the price. You don't have to go to Düsseldorf for this. I can get it at my local Italian restaurant around the corner, and it's better, and at a fraction of the price. Show less

The location is truly top-notch, and the staff were consistently friendly and dedicated – kudos to them! Unfortunately, in my opinion, the food didn't live up to the rest. The quality wasn't up to the price, which is why I returned my dish. While I was offered something else without any problems, it unfortunately wasn't as tasty either. I'm really sorry to have to say this – your location is fantastic, and your team does a fantastic job. I really hope there's room for improvement in the kitchen!

The food is good. The wine, cocktails, and drinks currently have room for improvement. Perhaps less ice and more essence. The value for money of the drinks, in particular, could be better.

Delicious food and beautiful location

The service was inattentive and inappropriately arrogant, but not unfriendly. The portions were large and tasted perfectly fine.

The Rheinische Post reported on poor service in Düsseldorf restaurants. I've rarely experienced that. BUT, the service at Riva is definitely a major contributor to this poor review. Impossible service!

We always enjoy our time at Riva. The staff is always friendly, the atmosphere is always great, and the food is unbeatable. For us, it's an absolute feel-good place!

Ein sehr schönes Ambiente mit guten Essen und guten Servixe.

We were there for the first time yesterday, and it was incredibly good. The food was a top-notch, the ambiance was beautiful, the atmosphere was very good, and the service was incredibly polite, courteous, and friendly. It won't be my last visit to Riva, that's for sure. Best, Tim

Visited for dinner whilst staying in the area on business. We hadn't booked and upon arrival the terrace was very busy, we were soon seated at a table inside. Very well decorated restaurant. Service was pretty slow but drinks and food were ordered. Food was absolutely fantastic, excellent presentation, cooked perfectly and very tasty, Will visit again when back in the area

Wie immer ein perfekter Abend - wie bei Freunden.

Wie immer Top. Service manchmal unaufmerksamer wenn es voll ist.

One of my favorite restaurants in Düsseldorf. Always worth a visit

We went to Riva Düsseldorf on a recommendation, as we regularly visit the city and appreciate high-quality cuisine. The food was good – but the service was disappointing. As soon as we arrived, it was unclear whether we could be seated or should wait. Communication was brief and uncoordinated. Despite politely asking, we weren't given a water bowl for our dog – even though it had been promised. After the food was served, there was no eye contact, no inquiries as to whether everything was okay, no attention whatsoever. What was particularly disappointing was that we felt we weren't treated equally because of our appearance. In a restaurant of this price range, service should be on an equal footing for all guests. We would have liked to order something else, but decided to continue the evening elsewhere. Even when paying: no thanks, no conversation, no interest in our feedback. Unfortunately, the service was so disappointing that we won't be visiting Riva again.

It was our first time there. The service was super friendly and attentive. The food was truly delicious and of high quality. We'd love to come back.

Very Disappointing Experience I had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. While my friends received their meals on time, my order was completely forgotten. I had to remind the staff twice, and even then, my food never arrived. In the end, I had to cancel my order because my friends had already finished eating and we needed to leave. This kind of unprofessional service is unacceptable. I won’t be coming back, and I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone expecting basic courtesy and reliability.

We dined at Riva Restaurant & Bar during our stay in Düsseldorf and had a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was elegant and cozy. We enjoyed the beef main course, tuna tartare, and tiramisu. The beef was tender and flavorful, while the tiramisu was light and not overly sweet—perfect to end the meal. The staff were attentive and made us feel welcome. A great spot for a refined dinner or a special occasion. Highly recommend making a reservation as it can get busy.

Es war wie immer super danke für den schönen Abend 😁

Tolle Location, immer wieder schön dort zu sein. Essen mit Freunden - das trifft es.

Very nice restaurant! The food was extremely tasty and the portions were large. The quality was top! The service is friendly and courteous and the atmosphere in Düsseldorf's media harbor is very pleasant! Absolutely recommended! But I would reserve a table in advance.

Es war nicht unser erster Besuch bei RIVA. Wir wurden wieder sehr freundlich empfangen erhielten den gewünschten Tisch und die Bedienung war sehr freundlich und kompetent. Das Ambiente in diesem Lokal ist toll. Man kann sagen, es ist einfach war los. (Sicher kein Lokal für diejenigen, die den Abend sehr ruhig verbringen möchten) Wir finden das altermäßig total gemischte Publikum toll. Junge Leute, Paare mit kleinen Kindern, Gruppen jedes Alters... es ist alles vorhanden. Das Essen war, wie immer einfach phantastisch. Sicher, es ist kein günstiges Lokal, aber es liegt preislich durchaus gleich mit anderen sogenannten "guten Lokalen". Nur dass hier eben der Preis einfach angemessen ist, weil die Küche dementsprechend absolut höchste Qualität liefert. Und nach unserer Erfahrung gibt es äußerst wenige Lokale, von denen man das sagen kann. Wir werden gerne wiederkommen!

I changed my reservation or 1 hour later with confirmation, the man at the entrance just repeated.. it's too late.. despite I had a confirmation and instead of apologizing he was 00 professional, you ask the question why is the website needed

Excellent food, but poor service unfortunately (made us feel unwelcome a couple of times and didn’t notice us for 20 minutes. We could only order drinks 40 minutes post arrival).

With 1 1/2 to go they won't let us in anymore. Very unfortunate. Although it wasn't full inside.

Short and sweet: The food was delicious, the atmosphere was very nice. Just some loud music but we were there relatively late. Service was a disaster! Everyone was in a hurry and not paying attention at all.

Spezi with just 0.2L costs €5.5 And a margarita €12 in my opinion Price performance ratio is not appropriate at all.

Ladies and Gentlemen I would like to express my dissatisfaction with the service in your Riva restaurant. When my girlfriend and I visited the restaurant, a waiter came to us and asked directly: "There are two of you?! Then sit at another table." However, the table we were directed to wasn't even cleared. The waiter also lacked basic politeness - he didn't seem to be familiar with words like "please" and "thank you". This unfriendly treatment made us feel unwelcome and decided to leave the restaurant immediately. Treating guests with respect should be a given, but unfortunately that was not the case in this case. I hope you take this issue seriously and take steps to improve service in your restaurant. Best regards, Tetyana

Waiting an hour and a half for a lowe truffle pasta for way too much money

Hip Lokal, sehr laute Geräuschkulise, haben uns nicht sehr wohl gefühlt sind wahrscheinlich zu alt dafür.

The Riva in Düsseldorf is characterized by attentive service and an elegant ambience. Delicious starters, such as oven-fresh pizza bread with tuna cream and aioli, as well as perfectly prepared main courses, including Tagliarini with truffle and Fussili Norma with eggplant and burrata, pamper the palate. The dishes are not only visually appealing, but also taste impeccable.

A very nice restaurant that you come back to again and again. A favorite meeting place for everyone! The service is very friendly, the food is of consistently high quality and the atmosphere is always nice evening to late evening party. Always a pleasure!

Service was excellent, prices were reasonable being on the harbour. Great views. Service was excellent for such a large group and food was excellent.

Überheblichkeit ist das Motto und ganz oben auf der Tagesordnung!

Service unfreundlich! Wir hatten einen Tisch an einer Tür, wo ein Vorhang hing. Nach mehreren Bitten, Flaschen etc. durch den Haupteingang hineinzutragen, gab es unfreundliche Antworten, der Kellner, nur genervt, von Freundlichkeit weit entfernt

Alles in allem war es ein super Abend, das Essen wie auch die Getränke waren gut bis sehr gut. Die Pasta war lauwarm und etwas zu hart für meinen Geschmack, dafür das Flat Steak sehr gut auf Medium und die Truffelpommes waren sehr lecker Was mir am Anfang nicht so gefiel, dass man als man herein kam gemustert wurde als wäre man am falschen Ort nur weil man wie die anderen nicht auffallend genug Monclair, Dior oder Philipp Plein trägt.

Extrems freundliche und vor allem sehr aufmerksame kellenerin!!! Weiter so !!! :-) das Essen und der Wein waren super.

Yes, recommended at any time and great events.

Sensational menu with the most delicious wine and very attentive service! And that even during the overcrowded boot trade fair.

Very good, good menu, nice atmosfere. The waitress was friendly and professional. We didn’t like the entry too much, as you have to pass the smoke area.

We ate in Riva for the first time on Friday and have to say we were completely satisfied with the food and the service. Starter, main course and dessert were all on point and very tasty. The waiter was friendly and attentive and immediately refilled the glasses when the glasses were empty. The atmosphere is pleasant and high quality. The only point of criticism was that the tables were a little too close to each other. We'll definitely be back.

If you don't want to spend this kind of money on food and drinks, you can, go somewhere else and don't complain about the price afterwards, everything is neatly stated on the menu😉 Staff and speed of service are top notch, drinks, starters and main courses are served without asking anyone who had what, service is top 😊

Rivas ist ein gutes und vor allem schönes Restaurant. Das Essen ist großartig. Auch der Service ist ausgezeichnet. Schade nur, dass unser Tisch überbucht war und wir um 21 Uhr abreisen mussten. Wir werden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen.

Waren schon öfter im Riva, dieses Mal auf einer Geburtstagsparty. Der erste Eindruck war leider nicht positiv, es roch im gesamten Restaurant nach Zigarettenrauch, da im Vorzelt geraucht werden darf und es ständig von dort reinzieht. Als Nichtraucher vergeht einem da schon mal der Appetit...Karte war wie gewohnt sehr umfangreich und vielfältig. Leider ließ das Essen ewig auf sich warten, Speisen waren gut, das Risotto allerdings deutlich zu bissfest. Die Pizza war allerdings überhaupt nicht gut. In einem Restaurant dieser Preisklasse erwarte ich eigentlich, dass die Servicekräfte mal nachfragen, ob alles OK ist, das erfolgte nicht. Insgesamt ist das Riva meiner Meinung nach zu teuer für das Essen, aber man geht ehrlicherweise auch nicht für das Essen hin. Es geht eher ums Sehen und Gesehen werden, was am Publikum sehr deutlich zu erkennen ist. Uns werden sie allerdings nicht mehr sehen.

Es gibt eigentlich wenig, was man kritisieren kann. Allenfalls, dass es keine freien Parkplätze in restaurantnähe gibt und es etwas laut im Restaurant ist, aber auch nicht zu laut, eher geschäftiges Treiben. Das Ambiente ist sehr gelungen. Die Bedienung ist stets und sofort da, die Kellner reagieren auch, sobald etwas fehlt und man kurz schaut. Das ist sonst eher selten der Fall. Das Essen selbst war auch sehr gut gelungen, wir hatten ein Steak, Kalbsbäckchen, als Vorspeise Trüffelnudeln und zum Nachtisch Tiramisu. Gerade den Nachtisch kann man sehr empfehlen. Die Kalbsbäckchen allerdings auch und die Trüffelnudeln auch. Dazu gibt es es einen sehr guten offenen Wein. Wir waren mit Kind zu dritt und wollten nicht zwei Flaschen Wein nehmen, da Nudeln eher weiß und die Hauptspeise eher rot war. Kein Problem, auch die offenen Weine waren sehr hochwertig. Rundum gelungen, nach unserem Desaster (anderes Restaurant) in Köln kommen wir hier sehr gerne wieder hin.

The store was cute if you're up for some unprofessional, rude and rude behavior. Go there! You felt totally unwanted and the colleagues were very stingy. Too bad.

Ein tolles Ambiente, herausragender Geschamck und erstklassiger Service. Jederzeit wieder und sehr empfehlenswert.

Es wurde uns erst ein Tisch draußen mit Heizstrahlern angeboten, unter dem Ziach wurden die Beine nicht warm->also haben wir uns drinnen einen Tisch geben lassen. Selbst hier haben wir etwas gefroren. Wir waren ständig von Fruchtfliegen umgeben -> das hat genervt. Das Restaurant wird SEHR eng bestuhlt, Zweiertische stehen teilweise nur 2cm auseinander (eigentlich Vierertische)->wir haben mehrere Gäste gesehen, die deshalb gegangen sind. Die Vorspeisen waren gut (1/2Kg Gambas und Rote-Beete Carpaccio), die Hauptspeisen (2*Tagliarini Trüffel) waren völlig versalzen. Offene Weißweinempfehlung ok. Für das Ganze 170€->das war es definitiv nicht wert. Wir waren im letzten Sommer dort, da war noch alles super, deshalb kamen wir wieder und hatten uns schon gefreut. Dies war aber unser letzter Besuch...

Unmatched! Ultimate quality and service! One of the best restaurants!

Wir kannten uns in Düsseldorf nicht aus weshalb wir ein wenig zu spät waren. Auf der Seite steht wenn es mehr als 15 Minuten werden soll man anrufen. Wir haben sogar schon vorher angerufen um Bescheid zu geben, dass es noch 5 min länger dauern wird, nur ist sich nach dem vierten Anruf keiner ans Telefon gegangen. Wir haben trotzdem einen Tisch bekommen und erst war alles gut. Wir wollen erstmal Getränke bestellen und dann Dieter etwas kleines zu essen. Als der Kellner das hörte sagte er sofort „hier kann man nur essen, nicht trinken“. Er hatte einen abwertenden Ton und wurde sofort frech. Wir wollten erklären dass wir später auch etwas essen wollten aber er hatte schon die Karten mitgenommen und außerdem alles von unserem Tisch weggenommen, außer unsere Getränke. Man hat gemerkt, dass uns dies abschrecken sollte und er uns so schnell wie möglich aus dem Restaurant haben wollte. Wir sind dann auch schnell gegangen. Insgesamt eine schlechte Erfahrung mit unfreundlichen Mitarbeitern. Im Endeffekt ist er nur Kellner, Habsucht qber so gefühlt als wäre er was besseres als wir. Sehr sehr schlechte Erfahrung. Ich kann das Restaurant nicht weiterempfehlen.

Wir gehen seit langem regelmäßig ins Riva und alle Kriterien sind nie schlechter geworden. Aufenthalt auf hohem Niveau.

Rarely have I had such an unfriendly and unmotivated waiter... Half of our water was spilled when pouring and the cutlery was thrown on the table. The order was taken reluctantly and was not informed that the dishes ordered were out or that the kitchen had already closed for dessert. The ambience doesn't match the price, you sit in a cramped heated tent. However, the food was okay.

Re: Complaint about discriminatory treatment at Riva Restaurant Ladies and Gentlemen I am writing to you to express my disappointment at the treatment I received at your restaurant. Unfortunately, I felt like I was discriminated against because of my background. I am a businessman and I came with my business partner at 9pm with the expectation of enjoying a pleasant meal with you. Despite your stated opening hours until 00:00, I was told that the restaurant is already closing. This happened for no understandable reason and I found the situation extremely disrespectful. This experience left me with the impression that I was disadvantaged because of my southern background. I wonder whether such behavior is tolerated in your restaurant and whether racism should really still exist in our society today. I await an explanation regarding this incident and a statement from you on how you will ensure that all guests in your restaurant are treated equally, regardless of their background. Best regards,

A very nice bar restaurant. We had a reservation for 7 p.m. and could choose whether we wanted to sit inside or outside. The waiters were very friendly and attentive. The food is debatable as to whether 10 prawns for €48 were worth it. It was tasty but there was still something missing. All in all, we definitely recommend a visit here for the beautiful ambience.

Way too expensive for the mediocre food. Service is like that, ambience is like that. There were 6 of us in the restaurant and we had different dishes.
