Pizzeria RIVA am Prater brings a quietly stylish slice of Italy to Vienna’s most leisurely address, pairing the green expanse of the Prater with crisp, well-judged pizza and an unfussy, modern dining room. It suits the city’s contemporary rhythm—arrive after a walk or a ride, settle in with a glass of something bright, and let the evening unfold without ceremony.
We had dinner at this place near the station and it was a really pleasant experience. It was so handy being just a short walk from the train, super convenient after a day of exploring near Prater. Right from the start we were lucky to get seated immediately without having to wait, which always starts the evening off on the right foot. The atmosphere was nice and relaxed, perfect for a casual dinner, and the staff…
One of the best Neapolitan pizzerias in town. It is just a pity that they close (the kitchen) 30 minutes earlier than advertised (but I also understand that I am one of the very few people requesting a pizza after 22:00...).
We went there three times on our recent trip. Great food and a very friendly staff. The last night was full and we did not have a reservation. The staff was very accommodating and apologetic as all they could offer was a bar seat right next to the cooks. My hobby is photography so this was the best seat in the restaurant!
