I really enjoyed this restaurant. The staff was wonderful and really improved our mood and experience. The food we had was great. We had the octopus, which I loved, and the smoked assortment of fish. We also had two pasta dishes that were great.The location by the lake but also near the road makes it fun for me. Things to look at and some action.Inside the restaurant is beautiful.I recommend this restaurant.

We had the pleasure of dining at L'antica Riva in Como recently, and it was an absolute treat! The fish risotto was a true standout, with a perfect balance of flavors and a creamy texture that left me wanting more. The spaghetti with clams was a delightful surprise, as each bite was filled with the taste of the sea. And let's not forget about the caprese salad—it was a great experience! The combination of fresh mozzarella, juicy tomatoes, and aromatic basil made for a refreshing and memorable dish. The staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. They made us feel welcomed and went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was exceptional.
