We spent 7 days on vacation in Trani, and out of those, 5 were spent at RIVA Beach — and for good reason! Our first evening was a Saturday night, and we were immediately impressed by the vibrant atmosphere with live music followed by a fantastic party.
Enchanted by the food, the service, and the ambiance, we decided to return the next day to enjoy the beach — and it only got better. We were thrilled to discover that the menu changes daily, offering fresh seafood straight from the sea. Every dish was a delight, and we would like to express our heartfelt thanks to the chef for his incredible work. His creativity and dedication truly made every meal a special experience.
A big thank you as well to the wonderful waitstaff and bartenders who made our time feel like “la dolce vita.” Because of you, this place felt like home.
Next time we come to Trani, we’ll be heading straight to RIVA Beach — no question about it!
P.S. Best of luck with the new location you’re opening — we’re sure it will be...
Read moreI was looking forward to visiting this place so unfortunately I have to say I was disappointed. I ordered an apperol sprits as this is my favorite coctail. To begin with I had to pay before tasting the drink and the price was a staggering 10€ When the drink arrived at the table it was served in a plastic glass even tho I could see they had the appropriate glass in the bar. An apperol should always be served with a straw. I asked the staff but they had none. On top of that the drink tasted weak and watered down. This may be because it was served with too much ice so no accusations here. But credit where credits due, the atmosphere, view and theme was an absolute thumbs up. Unfortunately the price did not match the over all quality. Note: I...
Read moreUna sola stella, e va tutta alla location. Le stelle mancanti sono il frutto di un servizio pessimo al ristorante, e sono certa che i gestori ricorderanno bene il motivo. 20 € per un panino, preciso, lo stesso prezzo di un primo piatto, e dopo averci fatto accomodare (eravamo in 7, con prenotazione) ed aver ordinato sia primi che panini, la comanda torna indietro: “I panini non possono essere serviti al tavolo”. Se il panino fosse costato 5 €, potevo anche capire, ma con un prezzo di 20 € al pari dei primi piatti ordinati, non vedo alcun senso logico nel non poterlo consumare seduta con gli altri. I gestori hanno cercato di giustificarsi scaricando la responsabilità su un ragazzo “nuovo”, che probabilmente era l’unico a non avere colpe e che, ironicamente, è stato anche l’unico a scusarsi sinceramente. Risultato: ci siamo alzati, evitando di regalare circa 250 € tra primi, panini e bottiglie di vino. Consiglio spassionato: appena fuori dal lido, sulla salita, c’è una roulotte con panini di pesce spettacolari, a meno della metà del prezzo e con tanta cordialità. Fate la...
