"Sono stato diverse volte, sia d’estate che in inverno. D’estate offre tramonti incredibili per essere Milano, tra alberi, natura nessun rumore di auto e un lago che ti fa dimenticare di essere in città! Il cibo è perfetto, si sente che usano materie prime di qualità, saporito e inpiattato con cura. Mi piace la location a Natale perché si trasforma in una “baita in montagna” con interno in legno e addobbi natalizi. Lo consiglio vivamente."

"Sono stato a mangiare a La Riva e devo dire che mi ha davvero sorpreso. Il posto è stupendo, proprio in riva al lago, con un’atmosfera tranquilla che ti fa godere ancora di più la serata. Ho preso una pizza e una tagliata: la pizza era buonissima, impasto leggero e ingredienti super freschi, mentre la tagliata era tenera e cotta perfetta, si scioglieva praticamente in bocca. Anche il servizio è stato super tranquillo e alla mano. Ci tornerei senza pensarci due volte."

"Locale in riva al laghetto S. Maria. Ci vado volentieri e ogni volta è come immergersi in un posto fuori del mondo, specialmente se mi siedo a un tavolo vista lago. Cibo buono e ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo. Personale gentile e disponibile. Ambiente pulito e confortevole"

"Location bellissima, sia fuori che dentro. In mezzo al verde, con comodo parcheggi e un laghetto di fronte. Abbiamo mangiato una buona pizza. Peccato non abbiamo Birra 00."

"Bel posto, curato e con un’atmosfera piacevole. Il cibo è davvero buono, con piatti ben preparati e saporiti. Le porzioni sono abbondanti e il rapporto qualità-prezzo è ottimo. Non è in centro, ma vale assolutamente la pena andarci. Personale gentile e servizio attento. Consigliato!"

"Suggestiva la location, appena si varca la soglia ci sono tante lucine che rendono il posto magico. Servizio accurato, cordiale e ottima pizza. La prossima volta proverò la cucina, i piatti visti avevano una bella presentazione. Consigliato."

"Servizio professionale, prezzi nella media, piatti interessanti, pizze molto gustosi e bellissimo ambiente. Consigliato per il piacevole ambiente. Invece si consiglia al cuoco di cuocere un po’ di più le stesse pizze e il pollo."
