Super delicious food with authentic dishes. It couldn't be tastier! The appetizer dips were also a real treat! And the food practically arrives piping hot, straight from the kitchen.
I haven't had such delicious pizza in ages. Absolutely recommended!! We called ahead to reserve a table, and they were able to accommodate us.
The pizza is freshly prepared with a super tasty dough.
The Diavolo pizza could be a bit spicier to begin with, but they'll gladly provide chili oil upon request.
We also had the Salmone pizza and one with burrata, arugula, and Parma ham. Absolutely divine! We were thoroughly impressed.
Keep up the good work!!
We sat down close to closing time and almost immediately saw three mice running around. Ive never seen something like this in my life. I saw that someone posted about mice in the neighboring restaurant, Bacio, recently as well. I do not recommend anyone eat at this location!

Even after so many years, we still enjoy going to Riva regularly. They're always coming up with something new. In addition to the standard menu, they now also have a weekly menu with really cool, varied, and even unusual dishes. They're always evolving. We appreciate the friendly service, the attentive staff, and of course, the food. Small events, like Ladies' Night, also make the restaurant special. Here's a glimpse of the dishes on the weekly menu—pictures speak louder than words.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We love eating at Riva and do it often. For us, the restaurant definitely deserves more than 5 stars. You consistently get good food, from salads and pizzas to burgers and desserts. My favorites are the burger and the vitello tonnato pizza. But it's not just the food that's fantastic; the staff is always friendly and eager to fulfill every guest's wishes. The owner(s) are always cheerful, friendly, and welcoming, and every guest is important to them. They all pitch in, whether serving, working in the kitchen, or behind the bar. At Riva, everyone works together, and you can feel it in the service. In the summer, the terrace is perfect for relaxing evenings. We love coming here and will definitely continue to dine at Riva. Whether it's just the two of us or with friends, it's simply worth it.
Good location in downtown Passau – for the price, the food is rather mid-range (we had Petrifisch). Very friendly service, but also very annoying and too loud music. There are other options in Passau at a higher price.
Incredibly good food. Generous portions. Friendly staff. Quaint atmosphere. If you want good, honest, traditional food, this is the place to go. Everything is top-notch.
We ate at this restaurant for the first time today, and it was truly wonderful. The owner and his wife were very friendly, and we received a very warm welcome. The owner even waves to us whenever we walk past the restaurant. I must say we were very satisfied and will definitely come back. This Mythos restaurant is highly recommended.
Dear friends, here you'll experience a true love for cooking, outstanding culinary skills, extraordinary creations, locally sourced products, incredible meat quality, and a genuine love for guests. What you definitely won't find here is convenience food or mass-market fare. That this might cost a couple of euros more is simply a fact of life. If you're looking for cheap food, this isn't the place; it's about food quality and the taste experience. I give it 100 out of 100 points and a clear recommendation! To the fantastic team: You'll have to put up with us again soon...😅
Overall, a delicious Franconian restaurant. The menu offered everything a Franconian heart could desire. The food was well-seasoned, although we felt the portions could have been a bit larger for the price, but that probably depends on how hungry you are.
