Update November 14, 2025
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.
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!
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.
Alicia and her team conjure up culinary delights in the kitchen, and her service team creates a wonderfully welcoming atmosphere. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much! 😊 A real insider tip in Unterwössen!
I just ordered here for the first time. They called me again to confirm the delivery due to cash payment. They were incredibly friendly, and then the delivery arrived even earlier than expected. The delivery driver asked for a review, and I have to say, you deserve it!
Delivery fries are usually soggy and cheap frozen goods. Here, I received perfectly crisp, fresh fries, and a burger that, while not exactly cheap, was juicy, intensely flavorful, and simply delicious. I've rarely had such good delivery food. I'll definitely order again 🙏
I was there on Sunday with my friend and we were really surprised by the excellent food – more than 5 stars, I have to say! Unique, very good staff. I'm very satisfied and highly recommend it.
It was only sparsely populated on Sunday evening, but that didn't detract from the taste or quantity for us. The doner plate was something different (not Turkish) but fantastic, and the baked eggplant was also great. The food arrived quickly and the service was friendly. I'm already looking forward to my next visit.
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.
A cherished tradition of culinary delights: a year-end feast at Restaurant Johanns. And once again, our already high expectations were exceeded. Michael Reis and his kitchen team conjured up a truly exceptional menu with countless moments of pure enjoyment, complemented by Denise Ebertshäuser's outstanding wine pairings, and the wonderful service team is simply delightful 😍 A huge thank you to the entire team for yet another wonderful evening of pure indulgence!! We're already looking forward to our next visit!
The Indian restaurant Ganesha in Grafenwöhr is a real gem. The food is incredibly delicious and authentic, and the wonderful, warm atmosphere is the perfect complement. The service is very attentive and exceptionally friendly – we felt right at home.
We especially recommend the Tandoori Mix Grill: simply sensational! Tender, aromatic, and perfectly seasoned – a dish you absolutely must try.
For us, it's the best Indian restaurant we've ever been to.
We'll definitely be back!
