La Riva An Bang Italian restaurant & Bar — Restaurant in Hội An

Wood-fired oven gives an excellent and crispy base. I visited the restaurant tonight and ordered a pizza capricciosa. I asked for the artichokes that usually come with this type of pizza to be replaced with pepperoni. The ingredients and the pizza in general were very good. The pizza cost 240,000. However, they charged an extra 80,000 for a few pieces of pepperoni.  Why don't they have a list showing what the price is for extra accessories? This price for this additional accessory was very expensive, and a misunderstanding could have been avoided if there had been a list of what the various additional parts cost. The service was quick and the service was very friendly. I returned to the restaurant two days later to clarify the menu. Extra accessories are not priced in the menu! Here are some examples: Pepperoni    80,000 Ham  80,000 Anchovy   50,000 Chicken  40,000 It is extremely unusual for a pizza restaurant not to have an overview of prices for extra accessories. In addition, it can be an unpleasant surprise  when the bill is presented. 80,000 VND for 10-12 thin slices of pepperoni!! It therefore costs as much as a full dinner of top quality at other restaurants. This drags the overall impression down and tends towards arrogance. With these complaints and a worthwhile hope that the menu will be updated, the restaurant is still strongly recommended. The restaurant accepts payment cards. On my third visit, it was another surprise when vegetables were supposed to be free.  I asked for garlic, onions and olives, but when the bill came it was 30,000 for the olives! How difficult can it be to have a list of toppings for the pizza? Regardless, this pepperoni pizza was an absolute delight. Manager Quang: Is it possible to request that we get a total overview of what additional accessories cost AT LEAST on the internet?! Update 06.08: On my last day I revisited the restaurant again as I have many times lately. Pizza is absolutely georgious. Again highly...

I'm always on the lookout for fine food... Found it!!!

I met up with some friends for a "Fare-The-Well' dinner & drinks, and discovered Great, Fine, Food, right here in Hoi An!!

We started at the bar where the bartenders and staff greeted us with a smile and served us ice cold beers, pastisse, and wine!! Was pleased that the presentation was top notch, the coasters were replaced when wet, and our orders were promptly served!!

When we moved to the table, the staff took over and moved our drinks and tab to the table (hahaha... most places make you close out the bar tab!! These people do it right; easily and painlessly!!)

We ordered three pizzas, and all were beautiful and delicious; right out of the wood-fired oven!!

Lance had the (I can't remember) Pizza, Kev had the Steak Pizza, and I had the Meatlover's Pizza (mine was unforgettable!!) The Napolitano - Style pizza was outstanding... in a class by itself... beautiful soft and flavorful crust, delicate, tangy sauce, tasty mozzarella, and heaps of meats; the way it should be for carnivores!! One of the finest pizzas I've ever had (inlcuding in Italy & Napoli!!). It was a struggle to not eat the last two slices; brought 'em home to my honey for her to enjoy!!

The table service was also detailed and attentive. Great staff!!

(PS The owners came by to say hello; Very very nice people, Jessica & Alessandro (yup; Italian!... guess that's why it's soooo goood!)

Definitely a place I'll be visiting again, WITH my family!!! ......
