Greek salad used to have artichoke. They no longer serve wings. Overall a nice dining experience. Outside dining. No AC.

They serve the best burger on property imho. Brie in their burger. I prefer this to the burger at Whispering canyon at wilderness lodge.

Awesome bar with food and drinks better than expected. You can order from the Primo Piatto menu here. Frozen beverages are great and not skimpy on booze. Bartenders are always pleasant. Service is swift and atmosphere is relaxed.

This is right outside the Primo Piatto at Disney’s Riviera Resort. It has a stunningly well-done indoor/outdoor feel with beautiful paintings of the ocean on the walls. The service was excellent of course. We got chicken strips, which came with parmesan garlic / truffle aioli sauce and they were some of the best chicken strips I’ve probably ever had. I still think about them a year later.

Food is nice here with a refined palette. Nice fresh European flavors you'd expect at the Riviera. The bar is a bit cramped and muggy with the Florida heat, not a big space, but super nice staff.

Such a great place! If you are resort hopping or staying at the Riviera resort at Disney world, I highly recommend stopping here. It is a super cute place, great location and even on a crazy hot day, there's still a nice breeze blowing through. We ate the chicken tenders and they were BY FAR, the best I've ever had. They are wonderful!!!
The service was impeccable- all of the staff was friendly and helpful. Can't wait to go back!

So they could really use some more fans in there to keep it cool in the summer. The food was good and the prices are reasonable. I did expect more attentive service, though. Our waitress was awesome, but appeared to be the only one working. The others (2 bar tenders and one other server) were mostly standing around. I have not experienced that at Disney before. The prices and food would certainly bring us back.

They must have recently changed the way their burger was made. Very disappointing.

Great poolside bar at Riviera Resort. They need to add a mudslide to their menu!

Bar Riva is the upscale cafe/bar at the Rivieria. It is located by the pool so you can do a quick grab and go. They also have a bar area and a small seating area. There is a small menu so don’t expect a lot of options. The cookie skillet with ice cream had good flavor. The burrata salad was average at best. It is one of the only options at the Riveria so enjoy!

Came specifically for the pistachio ice-cream on hot cookie. We really enjoyed it, but staff was a bit slow surprisingly for a resort bar
