Osteria S. Giorgio in Riva San Vitale

Truly beautiful, welcoming and innovative place, you feel at home from breakfast to dinner. You can eat divinely both the pizza and any other choice from the menu, especially the aperitifs. If you are in Riva San Vitale you absolutely must stop by and visit Tonino and Valeria.

Some of the best pizzas I've ever tasted in Ticino.

Excellent cuisine and fantastic pizza!

Exquisite food served by very friendly and kind people. Stop by even just for an aperitif. I have been back several times and each time it is a wonderful and memorable experience. Compliments to the managers and the chef.

Very tastefully decorated, nice cloth napkins! Great pizzas (without cheese, the vegetarian pizza with lots of delicious vegetables, sensational and vegan!). But it was expensive and the service wasn't warm or attentive. I would definitely have had a second wine if they had looked at me. And in the end we were ALMOST offered a grappa, but it was probably an oversight on the part of the owner and was not pursued further. Leaves an unpleasant feeling. It's a shame, given the really excellent food! But maybe we had a bad day...

What can I say, kindness, professionalism and quality! Not to be missed if in Riva San Vitale!

We visited them from Colombia and Nederland, they were very friendly, special service. Good bicycle parking 🚲

Cozy restaurant with very tasty food.

Delicious pizza near Lake Lugano. We arrived late and they still treated us very kindly and we were able to have dinner. The pizza of the day was delicious, both the dough and the rest of the ingredients. Super recommended stop!

Super pizza... very kind staff!

Quality food and immense goodness. Friendly staff. You're always on the safe side, compliments

Everything was excellent: delicious pizzas and impeccable service...Tonino, with his long experience, knows how to treat his customers

I like Prisma everything is perfect love eating there when I get the chance

Very friendly boss Offers hearty salads outside the chef's hours Taste some specialties To recommend

In the center of Riva S.Vitale you will find this Pizzosteria where service, quality and friendliness has become a local point of reference. The pizza in the pan and their super tartare are highly recommended. Exquisite first courses. Last but not least, now also Valeria's ice creams in its own adjoining ice cream shop. Tonino and Vale always at the top.

Beautiful garden restaurant in the middle of Riva, very fine food (risotto) Service and the landlord Tonino were very friendly and attentive

Service could be better, absolutely overpriced - food as well as drinks, food is also not of the quality that you would expect for this price. Burger very dry without sauce - you can definitely eat better and cheaper in Riva San Vitale

really nice place in a nice neighborhood you can't hear the noise of the cars 🚗 the only problem is the pizza which practically doesn't have tomato sauce 😳 otherwise everything is ok P.S: little tip: use a little spicy oil and really very strong 🌶️

We had a pasta, it was great and the atmosphere was fantastic, great place to stop if you're passing by

a friendly osteria with extremely fresh ingredients! the insalata mista was very varied and the porcini mushroom risotto was also wonderful.

Delicious starter and pizza. Fresh ingredients and here you can enjoy a real Neapolitan pizza. They have a great selection on the menu! Welcoming and friendly owners!

Fresh products, warm welcome Family atmosphere all at the top

I've been twice, the first time I got the reviso burger to my surprise which was really interesting, mozzarella, porcini mushrooms and beef. The second of the veal meatballs with a really tasty sauce.

Small but cozy place. Excellent quality food. The pizza is one of the best in the area. The hamburger with tartare is very good. The products used come from local producers and are really good.

We arrive by bike for a coffee, first time (and last) in this place. The waitress asks us to move the bicycles that were blocking (not blocking but oh well) the passage, while we move the bikes, the owner rails against us making it clear to us that cyclists are not welcome in his bar. Obnoxious and rude!

Lovely place, very attentive to the customer even for vegan choices! Really excellent quality of food! Thank you

5 stars are few for their cuisine and hospitality... all divine

The pizza is VERY GOOD (authentic Neapolitan) but so are the rest of the dishes on the menu, in a picturesque setting. Very kind staff. Congratulations

The best pizza in central Europe......

Having something to drink is highly recommended. However, we advise you to stay away from food. No harmonious recipes. You should especially stay away from the burgers. There is no sauce or seasoning. Very unfortunate

I often go to Pizzosteria and every time it is a great pleasure, I think I have NEVER eaten such good pizza, so much so that I only eat it here because the products are top quality and you can feel the difference. Warm and friendly staff.

Very cheerful atmosphere, the owners brought a breath of happiness to the square in Riva San Vitale! Always friendly and smiling. The best pizza in the world and the cuisine also offers excellent proposals. Nice and original place. Well done 👏

Pizzeria with rustic, crispy pizzas that I love.

Very good food, very good service and a wonderful ambience. In the attached shop you can buy the wine you just consumed with your meal to take home or other delicacies.

I went several times with friends, and I had a great time. The pizza is fantastic, dough and raw materials at the top. Without forgetting the equally top-notch cuisine. Friendly and pleasant staff and environment. Tonino always at the top.

Worst pizza I've eaten in my life, a place that sells itself for what it isn't. It's a shame because the place is nice but the staff and food aren't up to par. Terrible value for money

Very nice host and wife and excellent food!!!!! correct cost

Excellent Neapolitan style pizza. Cozy place and very friendly staff. The menu is full of very interesting dishes. To try.

Excellent dishes! Very competent staff!

Small tavern in the center of Riva San Vitale. The menu is always varied but what never changes is the quality of the ingredients used, always sourced from local sources. The pizza with the charcoal dough variant which makes it light is also delicious. On the side they have created a small point of sale selling all the typical local products. Truly recommended

I like it, friendly owners. Clean, cozy winter garden with a view of the village square. I've been there 3 times now for an aperitif

Stopped by today for pizza with the family. To my taste, one of the best pizzas I've ever eaten in Ticino, without taking anything away from the others. Fantastic dough, perfect ingredients. We then had a very good time on the veranda. Well done

Had a pleasant and tasty evening. Sometimes just being simple is enough to surprise customers.

Excellent, very good and affordable dishes and desserts

Extraordinary pizzas, light dough, with genuine and excellent ingredients. It competes with the best pizzerias in Naples, and maybe even wins... Friendly staff. It's always a pleasure to have a chat with Toni.

Great place for a drink, food, or both.

Very nice tavern in Mersa in the square of Riva San Vitale, excellent menu, excellent owners and waitresses, go, you will be very satisfied

Excellent food, beautiful place, feels like a little Saint-Tropez. Gabani desserts, friendly staff.

Beautiful space however the menu is not very extensive

Delicious pizza, double dough with sourdough!

Very kind waitress, good espresso and croissants

Nice place in a very quiet location and a stone's throw from the lake. Friendly, pleasant and companionable staff. Fair prices. We stopped after a nice bike ride and it was very pleasant. I will stop there again!

Very welcoming restaurant, punctual and truly friendly service. The pizzas were truly delicious and the dough fantastic. Compliments

Excellent beef tartare, very tender, delicate meat, seasoned with an exquisite balance of flavors that respect the great quality of this meat. With essential but well-chosen accompaniments such as an original, slightly spiced butter and bread still warm from the oven. A pleasure. Excellent wines as usual. Excellent service, you feel very comfortable here and we recommend coming to eat here. Thank you Tonino and Valeria, you have created an ultra tasty and genuine cuisine!

First time on the recommendation of friends, everyone liked the pizza We will definitely be back

Best pizza i‘ve ever had!! Great restaurant

We had dinner outside. Ordered 4 pizzas, light dough and quality ingredients. Friendly, attentive and detail-oriented staff. We will definitely be back. Thanks for everything.

great food and a perfect sommelier

Both as a restaurant and as a bar, courteous welcome. Affordable prices.

Very nice little restaurant. Excellent fresh pasta, burger too. The staff and owners are adorable and immediately put you at ease.

Aperitif on the fly.... Excellent table service, the friendliness of the staff is not lacking...

Top aperitif, very friendly Super

First thing: book! It's always full and there's a reason... We ate a Ligurian pizza for two as an aperitif, EXCELLENT and then continued with a spectacular tartar (very natural, without ketchup and sauces that cover the taste of the meat) and then a perfect zincarlin risotto! We had a great time! ————— Update: we are almost home now, once a week (approximately) you can find us at Tonino's for an aperitif or dinner. Dogs are welcome and if you reserve in advance they will find a comfortable place with few steps.

very good and a very welcoming place.

Quiet place, friendly and efficient staff. Very good hot chocolate a little expensive.

Food fantastic, service and staff great. Hospitality is practiced here at a high level.

Good food, but the price is a bit high, at least compared to Italian prices (50 euros for a second course of meat with side dish plus a dessert plus water plus coffee). However, a positive opinion.

Super friendly and very tasty food😍👍perfect 👌

Great food!! Very professional and welcoming owners! 👍🏻

delicious, soft and easily digestible pizza 👍

The best Neapolitan pizza in the Canton of Ticino, friendliness, very helpful staff

The best pizza in Mendrisiotto♥️😋 from aperitif to dinner always on 🔝 If you want to make a great impression with friends...you absolutely have to go to the San Giorgio tavern☺️..not to mention the always super cheerful atmosphere... Nice people in Riva♥️

Very kind. Great desire for porcini mushrooms. They gave it to me as a side dish. Welcomed with a smile 😃 and the food is good. Thank you

A bit of Italy in Switzerland, pizza, aperitifs and excellent choice of wines

It maintains the typical tradition of Ticinese Grotti/Osterias with class and a family atmosphere

We were only there for dessert and were served a sensational Vin santo 😍and super delicious chocolate cake! The service was super friendly and really accommodating. Simply a brilliant end to our evening. 😍

Nice place and really good pizza, too bad we had to wait an hour and a half to eat. Way too long to have two pizzas. Too bad 😕

Excellent cuisine and service, I underline the friendliness and friendliness of the manager Tonino

Truly exceptional pizza and fried dumplings! Family atmosphere and service. You dine outdoors in the beautiful center of Riva San Vitale

Tonino is a silhouette, always ready to make jokes. Good pizza, and fresh, top quality products.

Hearty terrace on the main street. The food was of excellent, very good quality. Locals also eat here. The staff was very friendly and the prices were justified. Highly recommended.

Nice restaurant in a nice location on the town square with large car park 50 meters away Nice and friendly staff. Excellent aperitifs To return

Super nice service, mega delicious pizzas worth recommending

Congratulations, the new management is friendly and the food is good

Pizzas are “the best in the world”. Even better is Tonino, the host, who makes every visit to the San Giorgio an unforgettable experience.

Nice place easily accessible, parking nearby, excellent dishes, very friendly staff.

Excellent company, excellent food, characteristic location. To return

Well done people, it's a shame that they have to leave x people who aren't worth judging.

(Traducido por Google) El pueblo es encantador, en el lago de Lugano. La Osteria da al centro, un hermoso edificio con el exterior para la temporada de verano. El interior acogedor, elegante y en mal estado. Buenos propietarios y excelentes cocineros. Recomiendo el aperitivo con excelente salami y carne estofada con polenta. (Original) Il paesino è incantevole, sul lago di Lugano. l'Osteria affaccia sul centro, una bella palazzina con l'esterno per la stagione estiva. L'interno accogliente, shabby chic. Titolari simpatiche e ottime cuoche. Consiglio l'aperitivo con eccellenti salumi e il brasato con la polenta.
