Atmosphere is only getting a 4 because i dinned here when it was cold and they do have heaters but they can only do so much. It is a pool bar so i get it and Florida is normally hot as all hell so again i get it. I asked for the most popular drink and it was a Mediterranean wave, a frozen drink. Was tasty and would be perfect on a hot day. The paper straw was a negative though, they just dont mix well with frozen drinks. I also got the charcuterie and it was super delicious and a pretty normal selection which is a plus for me.

So they could really use some more fans in there to keep it cool in the summer. The food was good and the prices are reasonable. I did expect more attentive service, though. Our waitress was awesome, but appeared to be the only one working. The others (2 bar tenders and one other server) were mostly standing around. I have not experienced that at Disney before. The prices and food would certainly bring us back.

This is right outside the Primo Piatto at Disney’s Riviera Resort. It has a stunningly well-done indoor/outdoor feel with beautiful paintings of the ocean on the walls. The service was excellent of course. We got chicken strips, which came with parmesan garlic / truffle aioli sauce and they were some of the best chicken strips I’ve probably ever had. I still think about them a year later.

Greek salad used to have artichoke. They no longer serve wings. Overall a nice dining experience. Outside dining. No AC.
They serve the best burger on property imho. Brie in their burger. I prefer this to the burger at Whispering canyon at wilderness lodge.

We’ve stayed at many of the DVC properties and we’re excited for our first stay at Riviera because we heard they had the best food. Unfortunately that was not our experience. We ordered quick service and every single item was cold. It started to become a joke with our family when we were deciding what to order…do you want the (cold) pasta, or the (cold) hamburger with (very cold, sometimes frozen!) fries? When we decided to sit down at a table at Bar Riva and have dinner served, we were shocked when our fries and burger were COLD! We didn’t bother sending the meals back as it was so cold in the bar because they had shut down all of the heaters (we were told) in the bar because one table asked for them to be turned off…very bizarre food experiences at this resort.

The food here was amazing! The burger is great as well as the seasonal pizza! Would come back again for sure. Our server was great as well 🙂

It was busy like the rest of the resort due to so many events happening during the valentine’s/ president’s day weekend so, service was a bit slow, but the cast members were so friendly and helpful. We had mocktails that were tasteful and refreshing. Our food was good despite the chicken being a bit dry.

Bar Riva at Disney’s Riviera Resort is a small open-air bar / café on Walt Disney World. It’s conveniently located across from the main pool area. The menu is well thought out and varied. Service was friendly. Atmosphere was casually fashionable. Highly recommended.

Bar Riva. Another jewel away from the Disney crowds… take the skyliner and enjoy a meal away from the rush. Grill and bar. Non-alcohol drinks are delicious. Something for every palate.
Food items: Grilled chicken sandwich comes with roasted tomatoes, mozzarella, spinach-artichoke spread on a toasted focaccia. Yum. Great balance of flavors and the chicken is so good. The bread isn’t cruncy toasted, so doesn’t break apart when bitten. This comes with a choice of salad, fruit salad, or fries. Trying to be a little healthy, so chose the fruit. Burrata salad is fresh, yes fresh, heirloom tomatoes, fresh pesto, and focassia bread. The burrata is so fresh too. Tomatoes are lightly salted… you’ll not want to add any salt… it’s great just as the chef prepared it.
Ginger beer is just spicy enough for those who enjoy fresh ginger. Hibiscus coconut refresher. Delicious.
Dessert: Classic Tiramisu. Yes, it was delicious, and light, and all sorts of yummy. But you may get a larger serving for the price at the France pavilion at Epcot. Still delicious though. We ate it slow to savor every bite.
Enjoyed this meal while watching the sunset. Memory maker. Try it out early evening.
Back for an update snack in Dec 2024!!
While waiting on our baked briee and side of fruit, wife went upstairs to Le Petit Cafe for a peppermint latte. (Seasonal)
Everything was light and delicious. John made a great recommendation! Thanks brother.
