A cute little restaurant with excellent food and drinks. We had a light meal of mixed bruschetta , caprese salad, and vino verde. The waitress even brought us a limoncello gratis since we noticed that she forgotten to charge for our bottled water. It was a delightful evening! We will definitely visit when we return to Porto!
Nice little spot with friendly staff and excellent food. We ended up coming back for a second night.
What a find! Hidden a little off the Main Street, this Italian eatery was a gem. Lasagna was delicious and the garlic bread was out of this world. So was the tiramisu…one of the best we’ve had. Overall a favorite spot on this side of Porto.
We are visiting from the United States. I have a hard time eating out especially in a foreign country. I have Alpha Gal syndrome, a problem arising from the bite of a Lone Star tick. I have had it about one year. I cannot eat anything from animals with hooves which also includes milk and cheese. I mostly have to eat chicken and fish and salads. The beautiful waitress tonight didn’t speak a lot of English but enough to understand what my problem was. After speaking to the cook she came back and told me that I could have one of the risottos. I was so tired of eating salads! It was delicious! She was a wonderful attentive waitress with the cutest personality. If I’m in Porto again I hope to eat here again.
We celebrated our daughter's birthday at the restaurant this evening and everything was perfect: bruschettas, risoto and pasta, besides the desserts: tarte de lima and tiramissú, which are made at the restaurant, were delicious! We'll be backup soon!!!
We really enjoyed this restaurant. Arrived at 7 pm and we did not have a reservation. Luckily we managed to get a table. Began with bruschetta with prosciutto and fresh tomatoes, and a huge salad. We shared a delicious pizza. No room for dessert. Highly recommend this relatively new restaurant. Be sure to make a reservation.
Ordered to takeaway pizza was so yummy would have booked in to eat if we were staying for longer :(
