Very nice welcome with a fresh cake!!! The place was nice and as described - you definitely need a car to get around… the hill down to the town is very steep!!! The view from the balcony is spectacular - nice place for an apero!!! Riva itself is very small - we liked the Trattoria Al Lago - friendly service and great food… other places we tried were not so good! A visit to Monte Isola is a must!!!
