Ristorante Pizzeria Leon D'oro Riva

We had dinner at this restaurant two nights in a row, and it was an absolute delight. A special thank you to our wonderful waitress, Tanya — she was amazing, as was the entire team! She even remembered us and made our evenings feel truly special with her warm and attentive service. We came as a group of nine, and everyone loved it. The restaurant has a great selection of soups, pasta, pizza, and salads — everything was delicious. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, the food tastes fantastic, and the prices are very reasonable. We visited on November 9, their last working day before closing for the winter season — a symbolic and memorable evening! The tiramisu, panna cotta, pumpkin soup, risotto, and pasta with sardines deserve a special mention — all outstanding. All nine of us were absolutely impressed, and we hope to come back next year. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

We tried many restaurants in the heart of Riva del garda but this one was the best! Melania was great and took great care of us. Loved all the dishes, especially the lemon risotto and the Panna Cotta. Queue is long but worth it though.

The service was excellent and the atmosphere was beautiful. We made our reservation by phone and the staff — Baha’a, Hazem, and Mike — went above and beyond. I truly thank them from the bottom of my heart. The shrimp risotto was absolutely incredible, my favorite dish by far

This was, without a doubt, the best dining experience I’ve had in all of Italy. I’ve traveled around the country a lot, but this place won me over so much that I came back two nights in a row — and brought all my friends with me. After two evenings in a row, it became clear that our first visit wasn’t just good luck: the food is consistently delicious, and the service is consistently excellent. A huge part of that was thanks to our amazing waitress, Tatiana, who guided us through the menu and helped us choose an incredible local wine. We tried so many different dishes, and every single one of them was a solid 10 out of 10. At first, I was a bit hesitant because the menu is quite large, and usually that’s not a good sign — but here, everything was genuinely delicious, from the soups and mains to the pizza and desserts. This place isn’t just beautiful; it’s full of history. It’s been around for over 80 years, and you can actually meet Signora Sandra herself, who has spent her entire life in this restaurant. Her son, granddaughter, and big family work there too, which creates a warm, welcoming, truly home-like atmosphere. A quick note: it’s definitely worth booking a table in advance — it’s one of the most popular spots in town. The restaurant is also quite spacious, with three large rooms, so even when it’s busy, it still feels comfortable. And the prices are incredibly fair for the quality of both the food and the service. A place with soul, history, and flawless flavor. Highly recommend.

I've known this place for years, but today the food and service were outstanding!! Our host Dorin took really good care of us. Especially his wine and grappa consulting made our night a special experience. Grazie mille per la splendida serata!

It's a nice place, with excellent waiters, but the prices are a bit too high, and the excellent reviews in the media are forced – most of them were written at the staff's request while they were still eating. So, it's a decent place, but not as good as the reviews suggest!

Food – absolutely fantastic. The lady who runs the restaurant immediately shows she’s done this her entire life and oversees everything with care. The seafood pasta I had was the best pasta I’ve ever eaten. The portion was too big to finish. The quantity and variety of seafood were unbelievable. The taste is unforgettable. Service by Hazem — extremely efficient, funny, kind, talkative. We are very satisfied with the service. If I could — I would give 6 stars.

This restaurant is absolutely amazing! The seafood risotto is the best I’ve ever had — perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and simply unforgettable. The black truffle pasta was also incredibly delicious. But what made the whole experience truly perfect was the warm and friendly service from Miky and Adel. They made us feel so welcome and turned a great meal into an unforgettable dining experience. Highly recommended!
