Bar Riva Lago in Riva San Vitale

Spartaco owner at the helm of this splendid place on the lake, flanked by wonderful girls who really know what it means to work in a bar... don't change anything you are the top....

Relaxing and pleasant location with lake view. Very suitable for those with children, especially in summer as there is a small playground next door.

Great location, good service, fresh croissants.

Excellent café bar for a drink around Lake Lugano. The best view is here between mountains lake.

Located in a very beautiful and evocative place....it's a shame that the owner is a person, clearly not in the profession, a grumpy curmudgeon who treats customers according to "category", if you are not part of the elite of "his", you are not treated badly, you are just not considered and often not even served... what can I say? You hope that the manager (competent and cheerful person) or the bartenders are there because it is absolutely not worth wasting time and money!

Very great view and friendly staff. Fair prices.

Very cute with a beautiful view. They do not accept cards but only cash.

New look, new management....a wonderful place

thank you... outdoor terrace with lake view... perfect for cappuccino or aperitif...

Beautiful bar overlooking the square and the lake of Riva San Vitale. Friendly and fast staff. Away from the noise of the street and with a large car park. To go there often

Nice place right on the lake. There is a good latte macchiato 👍

Super nice service. The guest feels well advised and you feel like you are in good hands. Grazie mille

I didn't go into the bar, but what's outside the bar is beautiful. A spectacular view of the lake. Maybe I love the lake, so I'm not objective....but I recommend it

Situation: a children's park overlooking the lake is a very pleasant place both for mothers who directly supervise the children and for people who can enjoy the lake and nature with excellent aperitifs

Excellent aperitifs overlooking the lake and the generous mountain

Good bar service with few seats inside but on the lake shore in summer, excellent outdoor aperitif.

Helpful and kind staff, nice view

Pleasant. Splendid location, direct view on the shore of the Southern Lugano lake. D.O.C. clientele and service I would only improve the musical atmosphere by adapting it according to the times. The place deserves some festive incentive. Suitable for every age group! Excellent prices compared overall!

Nice quiet place, at the back of the Riva centre, friendly staff, convenient access recommended for an aperitif, normal prices

Friendly and right on the lake. PP for a fee

Great location, nice service, fair prices and a playground within sight. What more do you want?

The café is beautifully located by the lake, you have a beautiful view of the mountains and you can relax. There is a playground next door for the children. Unfortunately, the cappuccino wasn't quite as good, the milk foam was thin and quite thin. The espresso was a tad too bitter for us.

Positioned on the shores of Lake Ceresio it offers the possibility of relaxing in the sun

Attentive service and splendid view of the lake

A good café with a view of Lake Lugano and Monte Generoso. Peaceful and quiet place.

Good caffè (for switzerland ;) -the Italian readers know what I mean) Relaxing athmosphere and lake view

Close to the lake with children's playground. Very friendly bar staff

Quiet and simple. With lake air

Truly charming place with qualified and friendly staff....Nice ENVIRONMENT

Found this place by chance while we were returning from a trekking tour. Nice, clean, elegant bar, attended by a courteous and professional girl. We ate 2 wraps and toast. Good, well stuffed. Clean bathrooms. The only negative note is that you can only pay in cash, they don't accept cards. Sin. However, a largely positive opinion.

Handsome Real village bar with a modern touch Local meeting point

Beautiful location on the lake. Very nice terrace for aperitif and breakfast.

Nice location with municipal playground 10 meters away. Also external seats.

Located in a very pleasant place. Friendly staff. Not to be forgotten.

Very nice place on the lake shore with 3 swimming pools and a playground therefore ideal for families and beyond!

Recommended. Top service and friendly service. Will come back there soon.

Very nice and small but nice restaurant. Highly recommended, German is also spoken. LG

Well located if you have a drink on the terrace facing the lake it is very nice the beers have a good assortment

Nice. Quiet on the lake. Good service. I like it.

Regular customer, friendly and correct.

Nice service and very pleasant environment!

It's really nice, nice bears and quick service

Nice environment, modern design, restful view, attentive service with a smile.

Cosy, simple, nice for a drink. Friendly people.

Friendly staff and great coffee!!

Small and modern bar overlooking Lake Lugano along the semi-pedestrian area near a playground. Quiet and relaxed environment, where you can chat while enjoying an excellent iced tea. I recommend the natural ones from 'tea nutrix', without sugar and based on tea infusion. Excellent during the hot season.

Great Bar, friendly staff, great location on the lake

Relaxing place with great staff!!

Very nice and excellent pastry shop. Very friendly staff. Very close to the children's playground and wonderful lake view.

It's a welcoming family place. Staff and owner ok.

Straightforward local caffe bar. Modern decor. Friendly staff. One of the very few places you can get a panini after typical Italian lunch service closes at 2/2.30pm

In front of the lake, excellent location. Friendly staff

Modern, great out door seating at the lake shore
