Food and Diet
In the gourmet restaurant at Residenza Rivabella, you can spoil yourselves with diet foods and cakes and pastries for diabetics, where the focus is on a nutritional balance that still manages to enhance the taste and flavour combinations on the plate.
Food is an art and Mediterranean cuisine (recognised by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity since 2010) is synonymous with health and wellness.
The Chef at Rivabella, an absolute master in his field, together with his team, is able to create appetizing, delicious dishes that look as good as they taste, focusing on Bio/Demeter organic, seasonal ingredients, taking care of both nutritional balance and the personal needs and tastes of our guests.
For clients who have special dietary needs, customised menus are prepared, always of the highest culinary level, shared with a nutritionist and in line with medical recommendations.
