Arte Bianca 2 (Vale da Telha) — Restaurant in Aljezur

Ordered take out with my friends, they all got pizza and I had the parmigiana, 12,50€ and peruse they recommend focaccia with it, another 4€, the portion is tiny, it is around five bites. Great taste, but I was finished with my food before everyone else and if it wasn’t for the bread I would have still been very very hungry which is something I really don’t expect with a 12,50€ dish. The review is not for pizza. I rated atmosphere and Service 5 star as when I have been there it had been five star. But 16,50€ and you fill up on bread is just ridiculous.

Ciao! I understand errors, they do happen, I have ordered the Parmigiana 3 times and each it has been tinny, and each time the waiter tells me to order focaccia because it is tinny, so the waiters know it is tinny. The first time I got the tinny portion I thought it was an error, so I didn’t leave a review, then I forgot how tinny it was and ordered another one, it’s my fave dish so I gave it another chance and I was disappointed again. Third time, also remembered it was tinny but forgot that it was get annoyed tinny. So I wrote the review. The portion should not...

We usually have a list of special spots to visit and experience. Arte Bianca was in that list as one of the most special pizza places to visit in Europe. The ambiance, staff and harmony of the place is above medium. Lost in nowhere we found a place of harmony, happiness and join. And I also served food! The staff, all (probably), are foreigners. I would guess that they come to surf and stay for the money to help support the day to day in Algarve. My guess, not sure if it is exactly the case. Anyhow, nice people with a smile always ready. We were given the menu and of course our eyes were caught by the pizza part. The 3 of us went for different pizzas and I chose the Diavola ( the spicy one). Along with the food, we chose a White Wine from the north of the country (vinho verde), which happened to be very nice. Served cold as expected, was a good pair for our choices. Ended the meal with Tiramisu. Not the best I’ve had, but OK. All in all, I would say it was nice. The pizzas were OK. The service OK. To say that it’s one of the best pizza places I’ve tried… it would be a very...

Negatives first as always… Bruschetta lacked garlic and needed balsamic vinegar. Which never got brought to our table. I did not get chance to ask a waiter / waitress as they seemed a little disorganised about who managed what area of tables. They do have it but ask when your food arrives or else you’re stuffed! Service as a whole was a bit disorganised but happy with the meal. Onto that…

Positives! In this lovely area there are only a few food spots. Normally that means that with little competition that there is little push to seek truly delicious, quality food.

This Pizza spot is amazing. From the decoration, the branding and the taste and quality of ingredients it’s somewhere I’d 100% come back to if I had the chance.

The pizza was fresh and a good size to share for two. It was hot and came with plenty of toppings. Prices here are not bad at all, for a sparkling water 75cl, bruschetta and a marinara pizza it was €17,10 which is well priced for the area.

Generally good vibes, cute decoration which looked premium. A very busy spot and 0 complaints in terms of the...
