About us
The origins
The Pasticceria Riva history dates back to the tough times of World War Two, when Costante Riva, born in 1929, began working at the age of twelve in his uncle Ernesto’s famous pastry shop in the centre of the town of Merate, in the Province of Lecco. Some of Ernesto’s loyal customers included noble families who appreciated and praised the delicacies so carefully crafted by Ernesto Riva.
About us
This was the time Costante learnt the craft of pastry making, the secrets of which were handed down to him by his expert uncle, who in the early 20th century had trained and specialized as a Maitre Patissier in France and Switzerland. In 1961, Costante put the passion he inherited from his uncle to good use and began his own business in Cassago Brianza supported by his wife, Maria.
About us
In his new pastry shop in Cassago Brianza he purchased his first oven, his first mixers and the equipment needed to start up his own artisan patisserie establishment. With the help of his brother Innocente, who was with him right from the start of this new business, he turned out confectionery, cakes, croissants and pastries, becoming a point of reference for the nearby townships.
About us
In 1968 Costante moved to Missaglia and opened a workshop where he could try out new recipes and develop specialties, considerably increasing production. After buying a van, he started selling his products outside the shop, personally delivering them to local shopkeepers.
The second generation joined the business in the early '80s.
2004 marked a new turning point, with a radical refurbishment and further expansion of the workshop to meet new market needs.
About us
Natural talent, creativity, professionalism, expertise in selecting raw materials lie behind the progressive and growing success of Pasticceria Riva. Today, the company keeps the secret of old recipes and of best traditions intact, managing to combine experience and technology.
