Menu

Here you will find the menu of Caffe Riva in South Lakeland. At the moment, there are 49 menus and drinks on the list.

Caffe Riva offers delicious food with standout dishes like pizzas and ragu pasta. The friendly staff and dog-friendly atmosphere are praised, but service can be slow and there have been issues with burnt food. The presentation of meals, like overloading with rocket, could use improvement. Despite some inconsistencies, the overall dining experience is described as reliable, reasonably priced, and enjoyable. Recommended for casual dining, especially if you're looking for gluten-free or dairy-free options. A great choice for a relaxed meal in the Lake District.

Unfortunately, my beef ragu was bland... View all feedback.

Gorgeous food, would definitely recommend. We walked in at about 6pm but it got very busy afterwards so book if you’re planning on going any later

We visited here on the 29th December with my family and dog . The menu was varied and the food was gorgeous, We had a pizza and a chicken sandwich with focaccia bread , they were amazing . Great that you can take your dog as well . They have lager on draught as well and not a silly price . Well done cafe riva
