The best Italian that we've had since in Portugal! Suitable for gluten free / celiac and vegetarian. I had the squid ink pasta with clams, the portion of seafood was very generous and the pasta is artisan. Must better than the average. The staff were great, we were served by Nuno who was helpful and relaxing. We will definitely come back and have recommended it our family in the area.

Really lovely restaurant, we had a table in the back (outdoor patio) which had a great vibe. My eldest son (13) loved the carbonara and the rest of us had pizzas which were good. Staff were very friendly and attentive.

A fantastic spot with good food, very friendly staff and a warm ambience. The meal finished with a complimoshot of port, which was a nice touch. Two small points to improve upon; the burrata starter should have more burrata and the jam on the creme brulee could be better.

We had dinner and lunch here. The garlic calamaris are tasty, the pizzas are good, and the staff is very friendly. The pasta might have a bit too much olive oil and the garlic bread is sized like a foccacia! Had a wonderful time here, overall. The menus difer from lunch to dinner - just making sure you are aware of this.

My partner fancied pasta while we were away so we stumbled upon this restaurant. We had our baby with us and they were so happy to accommodate helping with the pram etc. The food was amazing, we both went for pasta and was not disappointed!

Seriously, loved it here. The food was amazing (get the Bruschetta!), the place felt really nice, and the service was top-tier. Katarina was the best—so sweet, attentive, and looked after us perfectly. We’ll definitely be back!

Large restaurant we were lucky to get a table for 4 outside in the courtyard. Service was slow but the restaurant did look full. We had pizza, ravioli and salmon. Nice food and large portions so we didn't make it to dessert. Shame as the 2 scoops of ice-cream looked amazing and would have fed us all
