I had the spaghetti aglio olio, with shrimp added. Perfectly cooked pasta, with just the right amount of heat in the oil. Shrimp were perfect cooked as well. Portion size was JUST RIGHT. She had the Artic Char. Wow. The grilled veggies were divine, and the mashed potatoes that the fillet was sitting on had the perfect melt in your mouth to texture. A great plate of food! The online reservation system made it too easy to get a table at our preferred time. If I could award 6 stars, I would in a heartbeat!

For our last night in Gananoque with my in-laws, my husband and I thought we would give Riva a try-…read moreand we are so glad we did! Everything was excellent, from the elevated service, to the decor, to the music, to the cozy and elegant ambiance....and the food blew us all away! You don't always expect to be full when you leave a nicer restaurant, but Riva was an exception- the portions were generous. The sourdough was delectable, the caprese ingredients were fresh and colorful, and my pasta was hearty and full of vegetables. The chicken breast I ordered to go with my pasta was moist, but bland- perhaps blackening it or simply adding more seasoning would help. My husband's pizza was sooo garlicky (in the best way possible!), and the crust was an ideal texture and chewiness. My mother in law ordered the fish of the day, which was salmon with a mint cauliflower puree and asparagus- it was delectable! My father in law ordered the spaghetti aglio e olio and thoroughly enjoyed it. We were so satisfied when we left, but wish we had left some room to sample their desserts. If/when we return to the area, we will most certainly be visiting Riva again!

Really nice outdoor seating area by the water, take a short walk across the little foot bridge for an almost always empty pavilion, or the village dock with ample parking is just down the road for some different scenery. Service is always friendly and quick. The only thing I don't care for is their chocolate sprinkles. They're the hard crunchy ones that don't taste like chocolate. Not a dealbreaker since the ice cream is so good on its own, but a switch back to the better ones would be much appreciated. Regardless, this is the best ice cream you will find in the area and I will always bring visiting friends here over anywhere else.

TL;DR: Ice cream shop in Perth selling ice cream from Kawartha Dairy, Central Smith Creamery,…read moreChapman's and Wholesome Farms. They also sell bubble tea. My husband and I did a day trip to Perth as a part of our staycation. Before going, I did some reconnaissance online and searched for gelato/ice cream/frozen yogurt shops and Bananasplitz popped up. They just opened May 12, 2024, so was relatively new when we went in June 2024. They appeared to be the only place selling bubble tea in Perth, so I figured I could get bubble tea or ice cream depending on my mood when we got there. It was so hot that day we were there, and I really struggled with my decision, but when I saw they had a S'mores ice cream, I had to get it. The flavour I got was called S'more Galore and it's from Central Smith Creamery. This is a brand of ice cream that's not readily available in Ottawa so I was glad to have it. I got the one scoop in a regular cone ($5). It was tasty, but the flavour was not marshmallowy enough for me, lol. The ice cream was supposed to be toasted marshmallow-flavour, but it was rather subtle. I did taste the chocolate fudge ripple and the graham cracker crumbs though. I still enjoyed it though ;) My husband got the Black Raspberry Thunder from Kawartha Dairy (also $5 for a regular cone scoop). I was a bit shocked that he didn't get mint chocolate chip, his go-to flavour, lol. He enjoyed his ice cream, which is what matters. However, we can get Kawartha Dairy ice cream in Ottawa by the tub at the grocery store, including the Black Raspberry Thunder flavour, so when I'm at an ice cream shop, I prefer to get something I can't just get anytime, which is why I opted for a flavour from Central Smith Creamery. Service was friendly. However, the person serving our ice cream did not wear gloves and touched the cones with her bare hands and also touched the little chocolate piece she put on top of our ice cream with her bare hands. The saving grace, I guess, was that a different person worked the cash register, so at least the food handler wasn't also handling money. However, I always prefer it when food handlers wear gloves. Street parking only. (124)
