Riva del Fiume is a wonderful restaurant to visit for dinner, I found the poolside setting at night to be particularly inviting and peaceful. Service was excellent, with staff showing a deep knowledge of all the dishes on offer. Despite being seated outdoors, staff passed by regularly to ensure that I never had more than a moment’s wait for anything. My dinner began with a selection of bread served alongside delicious olive oil and balsamic vinegar from Modena. After this, I ordered one of the (very) small cicchetti, alongside a spectacular crudo of sea bream, sea urchin, bitter orange, and dill. This was then followed by two wonderful, freshly cooked pasta dishes: sea urchin, nduja and aubergine tagliolini together with the stracinati of blue belly shrimp, langoustine, and bottarga. The quality of the ingredients and techniques on display was beyond reproach. Truly incredible.
