The food was fantastic! The Bread was really good and the olive oil was GREAT with the bread. The sunset was amazing and then there was a blood moon. I took a few photos and I will add some to this. The service was very good and professional. It was also very nice for you guys to give us the shells. The scampi and the pasta was great! The waiter (Lucio) gave very good small talk. I will definitely come back next year. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: €50+ Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Amazing place. Staff genuinely nice and make you feel special and not just another tourist. Children are also welcome and they have kids portion of the menu at a discounted rate. Next to the sea but with up to ceiling windows so the stay is delightful while there's wind outside and you enjoy nice food, nice staff and a wonderful view. Many thanks.

We recently had the pleasure of dining at La Rivarella, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between modern elegance and relaxed comfort, setting the tone for a memorable evening. The menu is thoughtfully curated, showcasing seasonal ingredients with a strong emphasis on precision and creativity. Each dish is presented with meticulous attention to detail—visually stunning without feeling overworked. The flavors are layered and well-balanced, reflecting a high level of culinary technique. Standout courses included the tasting menu selections, which demonstrated both innovation and respect for local croatian ingredients. Service was equally impressive—attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm without being intrusive. The staff guided us through the menu and wine pairings with confidence, elevating the entire dining experience. The wine list deserves special mention, featuring a strong selection of Croatian wines alongside international labels, carefully chosen to complement the cuisine. While it sits at a higher price point, the overall value is justified by the quality, execution, and experience. La Rivarella is an excellent choice for special occasions or for anyone seeking a refined gastronomic experience in Istra. Highly recommended. I thank the owner, David.
