“ The innkeeper and staff are exceptionally friendly. The ambience is traditional and we got a place for 9 people without a reservation. On the first evening we had a mixture of several dishes. From Pleskavica to pizza to grilled and baked calamari. The seafood tastes incredibly fresh. You can tell that the chef puts a lot of emphasis on it. A dream. So we made a reservation for the next day after the chef offered to prepare octopus as a starter and grilled lamb as the main course. Both the octopus and the lamb were authentic, fantastic. You have to like the typical lamb taste, even non-lamb lovers enjoyed it. Highly recommended! ”
“ Josip is a great host and takes a great pride in his business. Jasmina is a friendly face and she takes excellent care of her customers. Delicious food and homely atmosphere. I ordered something that was not on the menu and Josip made it to the order. Riviera is my favourite restaurant when I come to visit my family in Lovran. Thank you ever so much, Josip and Jasmina. ”
