Papa Manuel 3 — Restaurant in Funchal

We had a nice time here.

Very welcoming. Gave everyone a free shot of something green and tasty on entry. A nice touch.

The Grande pizzas had an eye-watering price tag, but could easily have fed 4 - well it fed me 2 days running!

Friends with us had a medium pizza, and that fed 2 light eaters very well.

Up to now: 5 stars.

I noticed the (head) waiter use a toilet, and then walk out without washing his hands. I didn't feel this was acceptable. It was very busy in the restaurant, and hopefully it's a one off, maybe he doesn't handle food, etc; but it's always...

Nothing special. Place looks mid at most. Service is not bad not good. Unfortunetlu there is nothing good to say about the food. It is poor not only with italian food but also coffees, deserts... Main courses could be made here but everything else (cakes, dessert creams, ice creams...) looks pre bought. Not worth trying, just go somewhere else. Edit: I was waiting for waiter (to pay and leave) for uncomfortable long time. I could just stand up and go, and noone would even notice. Even after going inside to call an waiter i had to wait for few minutes for someone to come...

We had the ravioli maison and pasta de chef. Both were with white sauce and had bacon in them. The ravioli was made from spinach pasta, which was a unique twist. The meat filling was good, along with the amount of meat/bacon. For starters, we had a clear broth vegetable soup and a garden salad. These were standard fare but good. We finished with a banana split, which was very good. The bananas, whipped cream and ice cream were all exceptional. This was in a very tourist heavy area so it was a little more expensive than most...
