Trattoria Riva in Stuttgart

The Riva is one of the classic Italian restaurants in Stuttgart. Centrally located, a bit hidden in a small side street, with a fairly limited selection of dishes. The pizza is well made, the fish soup, which you can get one of the portions that sell out quickly, is extremely tasty. My meal today was the salad with vegetables and burrata. Top! Bistecca Fiorentina Chianina…. I don't know where else I can get it served in Stuttgart. The tiramisu is more of a cream slice with chocolate sauce and not really recommended. The Espresso Afogato, on the other hand, does. You should definitely make a reservation. The restaurant is quite small and always busy. In summer there is also a small outdoor area.

Top Italian in the west of Stuttgart, regardless of whether you just want to eat a quick pizza or want to spend a nice evening with wine and Italian specialties, you can always eat right here.

Trattoria Riva restaurant located on the Senefelderstrasse, Stuttgart serves delicious Italian cuisine including Pasta, meat, seafood, veg dishes and Pizzas. We enjoyed a family lunch on a bright sunny day in the outdoor seating. We ordered Pils Beer, Coke Zero, Martini Rosso & Blanco for drinks, Salami, Rucola & Gorgonzola Pizzas with Panna Cotta for dessert. The dishes were delicious, fresh, well cooked, not spicy, delicious and authentic. The staff are helpful and great. Would love to visit again.

Last time I visited I would have given 5 stars for the service. This time the waiter wasn't in a good mood! Everything else is great!

We used to love coming here, but today was our last time. Both waiters seemed stressed and were very rude. There was neither a greeting nor a farewell. The waitresses turned away from conversations and ignored our concerns. Nobody cared that there were larvae swimming in the vinegar dispenser. The quality of the food used to be good but has also declined. The seafood salad for almost €20 is no longer recommended due to its now manageable size. A pity!

Really fantastic Italian meal and atmosphere at a great price. Had a fantastic lasagnen, pizzas and the chocolate cake was the perfect finish. It might not look amazing from the outside but it is more than worth a visit.

I can't quite understand the good reviews about the friendliness. The waiter seemed annoyed and stroppy. We definitely won't go here again.

Very nice service staff also very child-friendly. Pizza was great even with special requests. Unfortunately, the meat dish came out wrong at first, then the sauce tasted like mayo - but it was supposed to be cognac cream, the meat itself was wonderful and very good quality.

Some people may think that the unfriendly awkwardness is authentic charm, but we simply no longer feel welcome. Since the pizzas are now dripping with fat, it doesn't make up for it anymore

Service was friendly and pizza was delicious 👍 I was last there in 2021 and I think that in particular has changed in the meantime Service really made, so hereby update my rating :)

The service was extremely friendly, even though there were a lot of guests there. Very attentive! The food was very tasty and filling. Overall, a very pleasant visit to the restaurant. Gladly again!

Riva is without question a very tasty Italian restaurant. You only get a place if you have reserved. Unfortunately the service can be improved. We were only able to order a wine after the third request. We got the espresso at the counter because the waiter had forgotten about us again. A pity.

Very nice inside too, restaurant was very full but the food was very tasty at an absolutely fair price

Food very, very good, well seasoned, very good selection, sufficient even for large eaters, especially for me the fresh seafood salad, actually everything recommended, service very friendly, recommended very well attended. Reserve a table, you can also eat outside 💪😂😜so off to Riva, bon appetit

I've known the staff for a very long time! I eat there every week and the food is simply delicious! If you want really good Italian food, then you've come to the right place. 😉

Very good pizza and generally good food. Friendly and warm staff.

Always delicious here. The service is very nice and the atmosphere is pleasant, even if a bit cozy

It is now the second time that I walk past the restaurant and see cockroaches fighting for their lives because poison bait seems to be laid out in the restaurant. That's just the three that were still fidgeting, not to mention that there were more dead animals. Even spiders die there and fall from the masonry. I would stay away from there because there seems to be quite a problem with cockroaches and whether you want to eat something with poison in the store is a question.

You will be warmly welcomed at Riva. The ambience is very simple for a trattoria, as Riva wants to be, but it still has a clear line, which is typical for a restaurant of this category. You feel good. The restaurant was quite busy for the late hour (around 10 p.m.). The food was very tasty and we rated it as very good across the board. The materials used were fresh and of good quality. The only point of criticism where the service staff can still improve is that if you order 3 dishes, you get everything at the same time and you can then start eating together. With 2 pizzas and a pasta dish, that should be doable. Time difference about 6 minutes and that's a bit long. Otherwise, I can of course recommend the Riva without reservation and we will definitely come back. Thank you for the lovely evening and see you soon.

It doesn't need many words, it was once again a culinary experience. Service very good, atmosphere cozy. I can only recommend.

Top!!! Best antipasti I've eaten so far. High quality products directly from Italy and everything homemade.

Very tasty and very quick service

Ce restaurant est toujours plein le soir... et l'on comprend pourquoi ! Tout y est de qualité, les produits, le vin, le service attentionné et sympathique... Bref, un incontournable à stuttgart !

Quiet ambience… Very good selection of food/wine/desserts. Great service with a good price-performance ratio. Always happy to come back…10 out of 10⭐️

Das Essen war insgesamt befriedigend, wenn auch eher Masse als Klasse. Eine Unterhaltung war aufgrund des Geräuschpegels leider nicht möglich. Wir sind dann zum reden woanders hingegangen.

Very tasty pizzas, excellent pasta dishes and friendly staff. Plus fair prices. A reservation is recommended!

I have been visiting for lunch for many years. Always good quality at an affordable price. Friendly and prompt service. Unfortunately, since 2024 the side salad has been replaced by soup. I really miss the salad and that's why I rarely go there anymore. Tip: why don't you offer a side salad as an additional bargain?

A great, authentic Italian with great staff and good food. Rustic atmosphere.

The food is really highly recommended! S-Bahn station right around the corner. Great service and cozy atmosphere

It has what it takes to become your favorite Italian restaurant around the corner, whether Mare e Monti, Linguine Frutti di Mare or truffle spaghetti from a parmesan loaf, everything is really excellent. Unfortunately it's difficult to find a parking space there, but the Feuersee S-Bahn stop is 50m away.

Sehr gutes italienisches Essen.

The outside of this restaurant is very nice and a bit classical. Once entering the restaurant my initial thought was the atmosphere here is amazing with jazz music in the back and a buzzing room full of people and food. I ordered the Diavolo pizza and the presentation was pleasant, the crust was close to perfect and the tomato and cheese felt like fresh good quality food, staff was fast and well time, the food itself took no more than 15 minutes to arrive, overall a very good restaurant will come back and definitely will recommend.

Wieder mal leckeres Essen, freundlich, schneller Service und tolles Preisleistungsverhältnis. Gerne wieder!

Sehr freundliches Personal, Essen ist super von Antipasti über Pizza und Pasta bis zum Tiramisu, gute Weißwein-Empfehlung. 2 Minuten zu Fuß von der S-Bahn Haltestelle Feuersee.

Leckeres und frisches Essen . Meeresfrüchtesalat war lecker Tagliatelle mit Steinpilzen waren perfekt Guter Service Kommen wieder.

Authentic Italian food. Big pizzas. Italian sweet dishes. Drinks. Was a good experience. Can visit again.

Unfortunately one of the worst pizzas I had this year so far. Normally a really good place according to some fiends - could be that the pizzaiolo was sick the day we went and someone else had to take over. Will have to give it a 2nd try.

Vorspeise und Nachtisch waren wirklich gut, aber leider waren die Spaghetti ziemlich in Parmesan getränkt. Da blieb vom Trüffelgeschmack nicht mehr viel übrig.

War schön öfters hier, da ich um die Ecke arbeite. Heute war des essen einfach mega!! Sangiovese perfekt. Aber das Highlight war nicht nur eine hübsche, sondern auch super freundliche Bedienung. Trotz Stress immer ein Lächeln. Das liebe ich.... Bis bald also mal wieder.

Lockere Atmosphäre mit gemütlichem Außenbereich. Umfangreiche Tageskarte. Das Essen war sehr lecker. Auf jeden Fall eine Empfehlung! Preislich sehr angemessen. Service aufmerksam und zuverlässig.

Seit 15Jahren komme ich ins Riva, für mich die beste Pizza im Westen, das Entrecôte ist ein Traum und die Bedienung ist unaufdringlich aufmerksam. 5/5

Bester Italiener weit und breit- kann es nur empfehlen dort hinzugehen.

Sehr netter Service und das Essen hat auch geschmeckt

Gemütliche Atmosphäre. Wirt ist nett und kümmert sich um die Gäste. Weinempfehlungen passen.

Sehr nettes Personal und sehr leckeres Essen.

Sehr schönes Ambiente auch für größere Gruppe geeignet. Der Service Top , hier werden tolle Getränke empfohlen und Speisen mit toller Erklärung dazu. Sehr aufmerksames Personal. Essen top abwechslungsreich an der Auswahl, keine Standart Pizzeria viele abwechslungsreich verschiedene Speisen. Essen hat genau die richtige Portiongröße , geschmacklich Top

Hier war ich schon zum zweiten Mal essen und war wieder rund um zufrieden. Auf der Karte stehen original italienische Gerichte. Die Auswahl ist gerade richtig. Hatte den gemischten Salat mit Räucherlachs und Burrata - ein Traum und als Vorspeise sehr üppig. Ich komme gerne wieder.

Wer gut italienisch Essen will ist hier genau richtig.👍 Schmeckt alles wunderbar. Sehr nette aufmerksame Bedienung. Komme gerne wieder.

Sehr gutes Essen und toller Service! Immer wieder gerne.

Wir sind sehr unfreundlich empfangen worden. Noch nie musste ich mich als Gast dafür entschuldigen ein Gast zu sein. In diesem Laden ist es so! Das Essen ist war nix Besonderes. Von Service und Dienstleistung gibt es hier nix zu sprüren. Da geht man lieber an einen Kebap Stand, dann freut man sich nicht auf ein schönes Essen beim Italiener und wird dann so enttäuscht.

Eine meiner Lieblingslokale, auch für unseren Donnerstags-Stammtisch. Immer gute Küche!!!

Sehr freundliches Personal. Leckere Kreationen. Alles sehr Empfehlenswert. Weiter so!

Lieblingsrestaurant ❤️ Service ist immer top und das Essen schmeckt sehr lecker.

Sehr gute Restaurant immer wieder gerne 👌

Wir kamen zu zweit, hatten nicht reserviert, jedoch haben wir nach kurzer Wartezeit am Freitagabend zwei Plätze bekommen. Unsere Frage, ob es eine bestimmte Rebsorte gäbe, wurde leider direkt mit einem abfälligen Kommentar des Kellners/ Chefs ("Gott sei Dank nicht!") beantwortet gefolgt von einigen wenig verständnisvollen Äußerungen hinsichtlich unseres Weingeschmacks, was das danach folgende, sehr leckere Abendessenerlebnis leider etwas trübte. Die Flasche Wein, die der Kellner uns zum Essen empfohlen und dann ungefragt ausgeschenkt hat, war jedoch sehr gut und preislich absolut fair. Uns gelang es im Verlauf des Abends durch ehrliches Interesse am Restaurant und der kalabrischen Kultur das Herz des Kellners zu gewinnen (wir bekamen sogar noch einen Schnaps aufs Haus); allerdings hoffen wir auf einen besseren und einfühlsameren Start beim nächsten Mal... Für schlagfertige Freunde authentischer italienischer Küche sicherlich eine Top- Adresse!

Toller Italiener, leckeres Essen, Reservierung vorab empfehlenswert.

Ok aber nicht überragend. Kann man machen.

Essen war sehr lecker, mussten leider etwas länger auf die Rechnung warten aber werde auf jeden Fall nochmals dort hingehen :)

Das Essen war sehr lecker. Auch die Bedienung war sehr nett.

Tasty food and fair pricing. The staff could’ve been a little bit friendlier though!

Super leckeres Essen, nettes Personal und gute Weinauswahl. Leider sehr laut wenn alle Tische besetzt sind

Unfreundlicher Service, Pizza gut, Lasagne geht so...

friendly staff, fast service, good italien food! everything was very fine, we enjoyed a lot. thanks to the team!
