Necas' House — Restaurant in Aveiro

Had a lovely dinner at Neca’s! Party of 4. Enjoyed a regional red wine from Aveiro. Appetizers: bread, cheese, garlic shrimp and clams! The best garlic shrimp I have ever eaten in a restaurant! Tender and so flavorful. We asked for a second basket of bread so we can dip the bread in the delicious sauces of the shrimp and clams. Entrees were well executed! My bacalhao con natas was so delicious! Steak and calamari entrees were great too! Enjoyed the chocolate mousse! Servers team of three were Awesome! Attentive, knew menu well, answered questions and made recommendations. Thank you for a memorable dining experience!

Highly recommend! See you next time we...
