Rivafelice

*Update, May 2024*:
This is still my favorite restaurant. Everything is fresh and made by loving hands. This time we had the honor of having a friendly conversation with the owners, Luigi and his lovely family. These people work very hard to give the diners the best experience. It is very appreciated!
May 2023: In the place where I come from, you don't expect much of restaurants with a great view. In that matter, Rivafelice came to me as an exeptionally GOOD surprise. It's a genuine family restaurant; that means they make the menu, they make the food and serve the food. Everything is fresh, made from local products and made by hand. The manu changes daily or weekly, depends on what they have fresh. For starters I had crostini with some kind of wonderful foam of baccalá (cod fish), which was crunchy and soft, and joyfully dripping with olive oil and not fishy at all. For main course me and my wife had pastas: she ate delicious baked lasagna with creamy cheese and fiori di zucca (zucchini flowers). I ate their hand made long pasta with something similar to ragu souse, but made with white fish, instead of meat. All was wow. To make things even better we shared a wild berry crostata (pie), that really closed the deal well for us. We drove safely home with just a pinch of their Fogliano red vino della casa in our blood and big smiles on our faces.

Absolutely amazing place, my friends and i kept going back during our trip. The owners , Luigi and Caterina, and entire staff are such kind genuine people. Food is amazing, all fresh and handmade by Caterina and their daughters. Cannot wait to come back!

Popped in on the off chance of a table and treated like old friends. Excellent service, kind generous staff (who speak English) and the view was perfect.

The menu is great with a wide range of fish dishes. Prices that are more than reasonable and everything was beautifully presented.

Also, whilst everywhere else is baking in 37°C, here it's just 30 and there's a perfect breeze.

Worth the visit; great food and service, wonderful hosts, everything fresh and home made.

We just stop by for an aperitivo. Amazing! The Place is just next to Vico's lake, you can enjoy the nature around the place. We wanted to try the kitchen but unlikely it was full. Next time we will book!!?

Excellent food, attentive service and an outstanding view of the lake!

The food here is exceptionally good. Their grilled pork chop is the best I've had ever so far. All home cooking and baking as well. They make everything themselves even their bread. Beautiful view and rest area by the lake available. If you eat at the restaurant you get a beach bed and umbrella included. Love this place and I continue to revisit as the years go by.

We love Antonio, we will be coming back next year for him. Don’t ever let him go, he is one of a kind.

Very good food, nice service, beautiful location on the beach, highly recommend it

Delicious food and perfect service! Luigi and catherina are great people, we very much enjoyed the food, the view, and the lovely service with our family (8 adults and 4 children)

Great food, fantastic service, very friendly waiters and owners. It is a great day trip from rome and So far one of my most favourite places. Definitely tend to do it again and again.

Sooo good! Food, welcoming and lake sightseeing.

Great staff, great food, great prices and an amazing view. One of the best restaurant experiences I've had in a long time.

Amazing view, food and service. Couldn't rate it higher. A must stop on Lago di Vico.
