Rive Enoteca

In food there is life, in wine there is joy.

We are committed to creating traditional Lombard recipes to complement the color and aroma of our region's wonderful and diverse wines. We seek out unique and distinctive products from our valleys and mountains, our rivers and lakes, our hills and plains. All dishes are designed and created with select, high-quality local ingredients, carefully sourced and prepared by our kitchen team.

Rive Enoteca will make you feel at home; pampering our customers is a plus that sets us apart.

We stayed in Como for five days and returned to the restaurant twice. The food was delicious, and it was hard to choose between the dishes. We tried something new both times. Even better than the food was the wine pairing: the sommelier recommended a wine for each course, and everyone found the perfect pairing for our dish! If you're in Como, I highly recommend this restaurant!

A small and rather intimate restaurant. We were welcomed with a tour of the restaurant, where we were shown the different wine tasting options: traditional by the glass, bottled, or a self-service system with about 30 wines, where you can fill your glass with three different quantities of each bottle. Kudos to the sommelier, who guided us in selecting the perfect wine for each course: interesting and very pleasant choices! Special thanks also for the kindness with which she guided us throughout the evening. The menu, not touristy, features interesting pairings and dishes that left us particularly satisfied. It's nice to see they offer freshwater fish (unusual) and a vegetarian option. A pleasant evening, I would love to return to try other courses and new wines.

A truly wonderful experience! An immersion in Lombard specialties. This restaurant and wine bar focuses exclusively on traditional Lombard dishes and wines. If you choose to order by the glass, the option to choose your own refill is greatly appreciated. A refined and sophisticated venue, with meticulous attention to detail. Impeccable and highly professional service.

Since I first set foot in this restaurant in February 2021, I've left my heart there! I've had the Rive Enoteca experience at least six times... and not once have I been disappointed by even the smallest detail. It's what I long for in every city: a place that lets me discover the region through taste and... a few "pearls of Bacchus" (in this case, strictly local, you can't leave Lombardy). From the Giostra di antipasti to the desserts, it's a feast. The staff is highly competent, and Mr. Rivetti has undoubtedly created something authentic with his restaurant, but I have to focus on the added value that sets him apart: Francesca, the sommelier. Her personality and expertise are hard to find even in Michelin-starred restaurants; she's perfect and helpful without ever being intrusive. It's always a pleasure to chat with her and be inspired to create a pairing worthy of the name. Every time I pass through Como, I'm sure I'll make a detour here!
