We were at Riva today for lunch. This is a lovely new restaurant on the water in Port Stanley. Great views from the patio. Just a really nice vibe.
It overlooks another great place the Inn on the Harbour where we have stayed several times.
We had a pasta dish and Lake Erie pan-fried pickerel which was absolutely delicious. But it was not enough food. Portions could be bigger especially the roast potatoes.
The highlight however of our visit was was our server Alyssa. She was engaging and humorous. And she had a little bit of sass which is always enjoyable. Next time we will definitely ask to be seated in her section.
The location is tremendous. The service is awesome. Such a welcome addition do the culinary adventures that await you in Port Stanley.
We highly recommend this restaurant add this lovely lakeside town.

The patio, food, and service were truly exceptional.
We were accompanied by a 15-month-old toddler, and remarkably, before our meal, he was given a stylish whiskey glass of milk, complete with a straw.
I was quite surprised and amazed. It was a thoughtful gesture we had never encountered before. Indeed, small details can create a significant impact. I certainly plan to return and would wholeheartedly recommend it to others !

I am a foodie & was excited to come here bc I heard great things from friends! Our server was excellent & helpful and their were lovely views from the patio. The burrata salad had a nice sized piece of burrata but only 5 pieces of small lettuce for $24! It would have been nice to have @ least half a head of lettuce as it was mostly just cheese & not a lot of flavour. We expected the mushroom pizza to have a variety of mushrooms, there was only one kind & not many of them. Creme brulee crust was way too thin but custard was nice and rich. The rice mozzarella balls were really nice and chewy with lovely marinara sauce. Imo, I think the prices are way too high for the quality and quantity of food. I will not return as we paid almost $150 for mediocre food. I was just in Italy a month ago, so it was a disappointment for me. Please sit down with your staff and taste the foods together so you can see what needs to be added for better flavours.

Riva is a fancy Italian restaurant in Port Stanley. The atmosphere and the water front location add to the dining experience. The food and service were excellent. And the prices create an executive or fine dining experience.

Wow, again. The food was great. We had the Eggplant Parmigiana and the Prosciutto Pizza. Both generous portions and very tasty. I’m normally opposed to fruit on a pizza, but the fig was amazing. Taylor served us well.

We had an amazing dining experience here. The patio on the channel is beautiful and such an amazing way to enjoy dinner with a beautiful view. The service is absolutely amazing. Every staff person we interacted with was delightful and so welcoming. The food was delicious and very satisfying. Definitely recommend for an upscale dinner or date night.

Riva Italian Restaurant is an absolute gem in Port Stanley! We enjoyed the most delicious Italian food — the prosciutto pizza was perfection, and the burrata was fresh and creamy. Their cocktails were just as impressive, beautifully crafted and full of flavor. The service was excellent from start to finish — friendly, attentive, and welcoming.
The atmosphere was simply perfect. Dining on the patio with the stunning Port Stanley view made the experience even more special — romantic, relaxing, and unforgettable. A must-visit spot for anyone looking for authentic Italian cuisine in a beautiful setting!

I’ve been to Riva twice now — one of those visits was for my birthday — and I can honestly say it’s some of the best food I’ve had in a long time! Every dish was bursting with incredible flavor — you can really tell the chef is from Italy and knows exactly how to bring authentic, fresh tastes to the table.
I still dream about these meals and can’t wait to go back for more! Including photos from both visits because it deserves to be seen — truly a top-notch dining experience. Highly recommend!

Food was excellent from the salads to the pasta. Pasta was homemade and the meatballs were wonderful. The tiramisu was out of this world and the cappuccino was done right. Excellent evening. Atmosphere was loud as the restaurant was full and you had to talk above your normal voice to carry a conversation.
