We had dinner here and were very surprised by both the food and the extremely friendly, polite, and attentive staff. Everything was absolutely delicious! Definitely worth a visit!

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 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.
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 🙏
