Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We visited family of 5 with older teenagers in August 22. This restaurant is expensive but very good quality food. One of my children is vegetarian and another only eats chicken and they were really pleased that whilst there was only one vegetarian option on...the menu, it was really tasty and they felt that the restaurant had really made an effort to make a high quality vegetarian option (particularly compared to other local restaurants where the vegetarian option was a plate of vegetables!). The other food was absolutely delicious. Very good service and I was pleased that the wine recommendation was not the most expensive but the one the waiter thought was the best. Really lovely location on the terrace overlooking the lake, mountains and town.More

We have been here as a gift for a wedding anniversary and enjoyed it a lot. the service was awesome as we had 4 servants just for us. the drinks for the kids as well as for the adults were very nice and matching the...delicious food. a few small delight between the course (for free) gave the whole thing a nice round up. The location is very nice too and it is very lovely to enjoy sunset and dusk there. It is expensive but the service and the food are worth it for a special occasion.More

We stayed 5 nights at beautiful Lido Palace Hotel and decided to have dinner 1 night at the hotel restaurant. That was a good choice. We had an amazing evening. Our table had a beautiful view of the lake, garden & Riva Del Garda. Staff...was very attentive and professional all night. In a very large and interesting wine list i opted for a great french Bourgound wine, a great and balanced wine. 3 cource dinner. Starter; crab with cucumber, lime, avocado and coulis of tomatoes & peppers. It was a fresh tasty dish, i would though change the crab to king crab or lobster. For second cource i had a pasta dish with lobster, little disappointed on the sauce for this dish. For main cource i had the beef filet which was very tasty with interesting side choices. Highly recommended for a perfect eveningMore

My wife and I managed to get a sitter for date night and choose this place due to all the great reviews. The service was excellent, we felt welcomed and attended to throughout our meal. The setting and view is a fabulous as well. We...ordered the tasting menu with Garda wine pairings. Most of the food was very good but a few items just missed a bit for us. The pasta stuffed with fish as well as the goat were just ok in our opinion. We'd recommend this place to others but you might prefer to order off the menu vs doing the tasting.More

We don't eat meat, and my husband had contacted the restaurant to ask if they could do a fish-based tasting menu. Reply received within 24 hours, and we have just returned from a truly memorable meal. From the amuse-bouche of trout on smoked potato puree...to the trio of delightful desserts, everything was cleverly put together to provide contrast and complementarity. If you have the tasting menu, do go for the sommelier's choice of wines to accompany each course .. the pairings were superb. The restaurant is stylish, and the setting extremely peaceful. The staff were attentive and informative, and this restaurant deserves a Michelin star. Two very satisfied foodies.More

I was looking for a special place for dinner on the lake Garda because I planned to propose on that day before ... and Lido Palace was the place to go. The service is extremely professional, including all communication before - we prearranged that the...table will be decorated for this occasion. We selected degustation menu for 2, including some champagne and paid ~ 200 EUR. Not cheap of course, but we are talking about probably the best place in Riva, so I find it reasonable. Very nice service by waiters, food selection is top class, view is spectacular, so if you are looking for a special place for evening, that's a place to go in Riva.More
