Reviews of Riventino (Restaurant)

Leena W

Simply Amazing. Beautiful ambiance!

Mélanie Forest

(Translated) Italian restaurant on the edge of the water in Lasalle! It's right next to the park of the rapids, so you can have a nice walk just before going to eat! I suggest the pasta with seafood, they are delicious and there is a lot of seafood! The mussels are also excellent! The atmosphere is family and the service is good! (Original) Resto italien sur le bord de l'eau à Lasalle! C'est juste à côté du parc des rapides, on peut donc y faire une belle marche juste avant d'aller manger! Je suggère les pâtes aux fruits de mer, elles sont délicieuses et il y a beaucoup de fruits de mer! Les moules sont aussi excellentes! L'ambiance est familiale et le service est bon!

Alex Cournoyer

(Translated) The best restaurant in Lasalle. I always order the octopus and grilled squid and Riventino rigatonis. Really succulent and in addition a large selection of Italian wines at very affordable prices. We go regularly and never get tired. Cosimo on the floor ensures that everything is perfect! I do not know why but the restaurant is never busy. There is a terrace. (Original) Le meilleur restaurant à Lasalle. Je commande toujours la pieuvre et le calmar grillé ainsi que les rigatonis Riventino. Vraiment succulent et en plus un grand choix de vins italiens a prix très abordable. On y va régulièrement et on ne se tanne jamais. Cosimo sur le plancher veille à ce que tout soit parfait ! Je ne sais pas pourquoi mais le resto n'est jamais achalandé. Il y a une terrasse.

Best grilled chicken Cesar salad in town! You can tell their ingredients are fresh (not frozen)and high quality. Their signature baguette is authentic and tasty. Always great service with a smile. Great place for parties also.

Kim The Fabulous

Filet mignon just melted in my mouth. Love everything about this place and cannot wait to go back!

Jo Isles

Way too much balsamic vinegar in the dressing. Salmon was bland. Bar is not fully stocked. Best part was the dessert.

Mathieu L'Etoile

Our big family get-together at Riventino was a great success. Everyone commented that the meals were delicious, and service was excellent. We will definitely plan to return to Riventino.

Jesse Mann

Just had a pizza. Amazing!

Genevieve Desrochers

This place is a hidden gem. The truffle mushroom risotto is to die for.

Seren Dagdeviren

Was not overly impressed. I saw some great reviews and was looking forward to our Christmas dinner there, but it definitely did no live up to my expectations. This could however be due to the large group size. Will try it again for dinner one day in a small group, but for a large group I wouldn't recommend. Dry salmon, very plain salad.

BLang Blang

(Translated) Good, but often empty. (Original) Bien, mais souvent vide.

Syl Evan

Nice place to sit and look at the river in front. Food is another story

Mariam Sambe

Loved it! The staff is very friendly and courteous. The food is delicious. It just lacks a bit ambiance (not a lot of people), but at the same time, that can be great for those looking for a quite dinner experience.

Luca M

Great food, good service and Cosmo the owner is a great connoisseur of wine.

Elena C

Celebrated my birthday Saturday night at this amazing restaurant! Would give 10 ⭐️ Rating! We were a party of 8 adults. Everyone loved the food. Absolutely delicious! The ambiance was fantastic! The service was extraordinary! The owner made us feel like family. Will definitely return and recommend this jewel of a restaurant. Thank you for a memorable and pleasant evening!

Ilir Orana

Very nice place. Great pizzas.

Alysha Flagg

Riventino is great Italian restaurant!! Family owned and run giving it an authentic feel. The food is fresh and the portions are amazing. It’s just how Nonna makes it! We had the antipasti, calamari and gnocchi. Each dish was amazing! And the bread and oil is perfect as well. Would definitely recommend!!!

Tony Sperduti

Average quality food. Service a bit

Hector Rojas

Best Italian food in LaSalle.

Frederic St-Jean

I did not eat at that restaurant but wanted to highlight the incredible response and service of the staff after my son needed assistance. We parked nearby the restaurant to go for a walk when my daughter accidentally shut the door on my sons fingers... We asked the staff for ice and they immediately stepped in to give us 2 bags of ice, water, a towel and let us sit at a table for a while until dust settled. Thank you very much you deserve 5 stars and more.

Erika Oostveen

Great food, and service.

Lucie Menard

(Translated) Very good and excellent service???? (Original) Tres bon et excellent service????

Darlene Pietrak

Lovely spot with two distinct sections but some delicious food. The calamari appetizer was delicious and tender but cut a little thick. They also included the tentacles which I love. The linguine with clams was absolutely excellent loaded with little neck clams still in the shell. Make sure you order the carrot cake, so moist and the icing is to die for. The complimentary In house bread is just as good as a bakery and the bruschetta accompaniment was fresh and seasoned just right!

Andrei Ianouchkevitch

This place is alright. First, and most important, you can't beat that view and location. If only for that, this place is worth a visit. Second, the service was alright. Nothing particularly stood out. I was really surprised that for an Italian place, they have cold bread being served before the meal. The food: I ordered a pizza and it was delicious. I can't speak for any of the other food, but the pizza was on-point. Worst case scenario, if you don't like it, you still get a romantic walk by the river!

Raymond Chiu

Good was great!

Sean Guitard

Nice atmosphere and food was cooked to my likeing. Would like more of a selection on the menu

Roch Daigle

Very nice ambiance,excellent food,and professional service. I highly recommend!

I love pasta. What I had here was as good as the pasta I ate in Rome.

Linda M

We had the take out Easter special yesterday which included antipasto, three different pastas along with lamb stew and dessert and everything was excellent. I definitely recommend this restaurant.

Jonathon Antonio

Amazing Place!!! Warm and Cozy. Plates are as big as Mama's. The Food is as mouth watering as Ambrosia from Heaven. The Wines can be compared to the Nectar of the Gods. I have no hesitations on recommending Ristorante Riventino to anyone or everyone!. Great place for anyone, anytime, from anywhere.

Jacky A.

(Translated) Open since June 25! Excellent as always! Quiet, well-spaced and excellent service! As a couple or as a family. I'm so happy that it's still open. I definitely recommend! You will not regret. Excellent Lasalle restaurant! (Original) Ouvert depuis le 25 juin! Excellent comme toujours! Tranquille, bien espacé et service excellent! En amoureux ou en famille. Je suis tellement contente que c’est toujours ouvert. Je recommande assurement! Vous ne regreterez pas. Excellent resto de Lasalle!

Gianni P

Great, great place. Most importantly, the menu is very good. Meat dishes are tender and always perfectly cooked. Seafood is fresh and tasty. The pasta is always good. Then the location, beautiful views near the water. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. The dining room is very nice too, and they have a more casual bar area too. There's also a small room upstairs for private parties. Perfect for groups! I've had two parties there, both very good.

Robert Turcotte

(Translated) An Italian restaurant that lived up to our expectations. The staff are discreet and efficient. The portions are well calculated. We can enjoy our meal on the terrace overlooking the canal or simply go to the second on the balcony to have a friendly atmosphere. The prices are appreciable. When the restaurants can receive customers, believe me, I will be one of the first to make reservations. (Original) Un restaurant italien à la hauteur de nos attentes. Le personnel est discret et efficace. Les portions sont bien calculé. On peut déguster notre repas sur la terrasse avec vue sur le canal ou simplement aller au deuxième sur le balcon pour avoir une ambiance conviviale. Les prix sont appréciable. Quand les restaurants pourront recevoir des clients, croyez-moi, je vais être un des premiers à réserver.

Marlene Demers

If first impressions mean anything, then Riventino passed with flying colors. The food, the staff, the whole dinning experience, everything was great. Definitely worth checking out. You won't regret it. We will come back for sure.

Gilles Bessette

(Translated) The place and the service are very good, I appreciated the decor in terms of the food it is also very well prepared I don't understand why there aren't more people, maybe a terrace is missing. Yes I recommend it. (Original) L endroit et le service sont très bien, j'ai apprécié le décor pour ce qui est de la nourriture c'est aussi très bien apprêté Je ne comprends pas pourquoi il n'y a pas plus de monde il manque peut être une terrasse.

This place really is a 5 star restaurant. I've known the owner for many years, and he works very hard and long hours to give the best to us, his customers, the best we pay for. Whatever you order, it's going to be great! The atmosphere is cozy and intimate. I go as often as I can!

Sebastian Lupu

Excellent food and the service was 1st class.

Archie Evangelista

Great brunch. Missing was the cheese platters

Fr Boucher

(Translated) There was no one except our group. I always feel like the place is closed. You have to open the windows to eat with your gaze on the outside, to offer a terrace! The restaurant is by the river just in front of the Parc des Rapides. That has no price! (Original) Il n'y avait personne sauf notre groupe. J'ai toujours l'impression que l'endroit est fermé. Il faut ouvrir les fenêtres pour manger avec le regard sur l'extérieur, offrir une terrasse! Le restaurant est en bordure du fleuve juste devant le Parc des Rapides. Cela n'a pas de prix!

Mathieu Lafrance

(Translated) Restore Italian with a chic look but at the same time very welcoming. Calm atmosphere with Italian background music. Delicious meal to share with family or couple. The meat is cooked to perfection according to your request. Pasta and pizzas are also very good. Without forgetting the traditional Italian antipasto entries. Very good service. You will not be disappointed. PS. The toilets are very clean;) (Original) Restaurent italien au look chic mais à la fois très accueillant. Ambiance calme avec musique italienne de fond.

We were going back to Ottawa and just saw this place randomly on Saturday night. But, we were amazed with the service and food.
