We drove to this restaurant from Riva del Garda a Sunday night, and had some trouble finding the…read moreplace following Google Maps. The restaurant is on the second floor of "Acetaia del Balsamico Trentino" , a beautiful farmhouse turned B&B about 2 miles north of the town of Riva del Garda. The restaurant is spacious with a deck for outdoor seating. The service was good and the food was fantastic. The owner was proud of the Balsamic vinegar made on the property and we got a tour of the cellar as well.

When our food arrived, we accidentally broke one of the wine glasses and glass shattered into our pizza and salad. The food was taken away and the glass removed from the table. When the waiter returned, he told us if we wanted a new order of pizza and salad, he would have to charge us twice ( new order and the food covered in glass). I guess they were more interested in profits than in showing some goodwill. We obviously reordered but left a little surprised.

The food was exceptional. It can be a bit noisy because it is always packed with people. We never…read moreeat at the same restaurant twice when traveling, but we made an exception for this place. The service is fantastic and matches the quality of the food!

We were there once and unfortunately I cannot understand the euphoric reviews. The food was…read moreabsolutely average. The menu was relatively small and without special highlights. The service was also rather average. Yes, the alleyway you sit in is cozy, but there is also a lot of that in Riva. My conclusion: You can do it, but you don't have to.

Absolutely fabulous little trattoria in the heart of old Riva sul Garda. We were welcomed into a…read morevery friendly place with authentic decor and lovely wooden tables. With our two little kids we were seated comfortably and were offered child seats right away. The spaghetti with sardines as well as the pasta pomodoro were nothing short of amazing in its typical yet lovely simplicity. The bruschetta with home made condiments blew us away in flavour and texture. Fair pricing (Espresso afterwards for EUR1 (!). Dont be fooled by the surrounding pizza-places that trick you with hidden costs and low end toppings. No frills in this place, and also NO pizza :-) Just a short, authentic menu with excellent quality and nice owners.

If you have a larger group, we had 8, I would go earlier in the evening to get a table as the Bellariva is popular
