This was our first night in Venice and Klod (we named him King Lord of Diplomacy) & Valentino served us with professionalism combined with a great sense of humour. They were a fantastic double-act without overstepping the mark. Together with the fantastic food, they made...our dinner one of the most memorable ones we had during our 4 days there. All the food was delicious including the cheese board we had at the end of our meal. We look forward to returning to sample some of the other dishes on the menu when we're in Venice again.More

Great food, great ambience, a welcoming venue with good, unobtrusive service. We enjoyed three delicious meals here especially the seafood choices: Coquille St. Jacques as a starter were supreme; the fish soup was something else, delicious and filling and with plenty of seafood and the...stuffed ravioli with pine nuts just right late at night after a busy day and washed down with a glass of the House Red. Our server Klod was very helpful and interesting but the other staff were great too.More

Don’t let the location fool you, this is an extraordinarily good restaurant. It is located all the way at the south end of San Clemente -- almost on the Nixon property (tyrants seem to like being near water). The menu has high aspirations. Lots of...diabetic-friendly fish, meat, crispy, veggie, appetizers, salads, and platos fuertes -- and delivers them all well portions that will please all but the most gluttonous. The service is attentive, but not intrusive. It has the TV screens, bar-in-the-center design and lots of loudspeakers so I would guess it turns into a shout bar after 8:30 pm or so. So, if you are looking to get wasted and celebrating loudly, please wait until then. I will see you on the way out.More

An amazing find, on the waterfront opposite the Lido, just of the tourist trails, the food was sublime, the service superb and the wine was very good indeed. The price was cheaper then eating in the more touristy type places in town, where everything seems...deep fried, frozen and microwaved. I have been to Venice. a number of times and this is by far the best restaurant that I have eaten in. A special mention to our very friendly host Klodian, who looked after us and recommended the wine. Good luck for the futureMore

My husband and I enjoyed a delicious meal outside by the water. The service was good, but the food was great. We started with the prosciutto with burrata, followed by the grilled octopus and the sea bass stuffed ravioli. All three dishes were excellently prepared....For dessert we had the gelato trio and the creme brulee. The vanilla gelato was a bit icy, the other two flavors were creamy. The creme brulee was warm and citrusy. The next time we return to Venice, we definitely will return to Riviera.More

店員さんが陽気で優しくて、料理は美しく美味しくて、本当に良いリストランテでした! メニューは、イタリア語以外に英語もありましたが、私たち夫婦は英語すらよくわからないので、画像翻訳しながらの注文でした。 画像翻訳で、注文まで15分くらいかかってしまいましたが、それでもなんのプレッシャーも無く、ゆっくりと注文を決めることができました。 凄くありがたかったです。 私たちが注文したのは、 前菜にアサリ蒸し・生魚の盛り合わせ(エビ・まぐろ・キャビアなど) パスタは、ボンゴレスパゲッティ・えびのスパイシーリングイネ的なやつ。 メインはグリルシーフード。こちらは二人前〜でした。 お酒は、2人でスパークリングワインと、白ワインを、合計5杯飲みました。 お会計は、日本円で4万円ほどだったと思います。(円安だから、もっと高くなると思っていました。ベネチアでは良心的なリストランテだと思う。) ワインはグラスで大体8ユーロくらい、カクテルが14ユーロくらいだったと記憶しています。 リアルト周辺の、客引きをやっているようなお店と変わらない値段です。 このお店なら、一流のおもてなしと、料理が味わえます。 リアルト周辺より、間違いなくこのお店の方がいいです。 ただ、イタリアに来て2日目だったので、量の多さに慣れておらず、正直お腹が苦しいくらいの量でした。 パスタは一種類にしておいたらよかったなと、後悔しました。 生魚の盛り合わせと、グリルシーフードは、見た目も美しく、イタリアの海鮮をお求めなら、ぜひ食べるべきだと思います。 グリルシーフードのロブスターは、身がぎっしりで、旨みたっぷりでした。 本ズワイガニと同等か、人によってはカニより美味しいかも。 あと、トイレがすごく綺麗でした。 大阪の大丸や、阪急百貨店のトイレと同じくらいに綺麗でした。 本来ならば、シーサイド席が良かったのですが、まさかの雷雨だったので叶わず。そこは少し悔いが残っています。 でも、店内が薄暗い感じで、雰囲気がよかったです。 店員さんには凄く丁寧に接していただき、また次回もこちらで予約しようと思いました。 My husband was happy to be praised for his tie. Actually, that tie was a Mickey Mouse pattern. Thank you for...your wonderful customer service. Please remember us. I'll go again in a few years.More

Excellent service by Klod, we were so impressed our group of 9 went back 3 times. Great selection of pasta and seafood combinations. The fact that we sat next to the water and enjoyed an excellent meal made the experience all that much better.

Our hotel concierge, Roberto, from the Molino Hilton, recommended the Riviera to us and helped make the reservation. We have been fortunate to have many great meals in Italy, however this was another level. To start our table was on the water, highly recommend if...possible and we sat down just before the most beautiful sunset. The setting was a spectacular way to cap a wonderful day in Venice. Our waiter, Samuel, and his colleagues were as spectacular as the food and sunset. My wife is gluten free and upon hearing that they brought out warm gf bread and guided us through the menu to provide a wonderful experience. We had the Sea Bass prepared tableside. If you are looking for a unique seafood meal with local flare select this signature dish for two. Samuel suggested a local wine that complimented the main course and our evening was perfectly set. We loved this place and thanked our concierge immensely for the referral! Enjoy!More
