Forneria São Dinis — Restaurant in Ponta Delgada

Very good Italian option in ponta delgada. We enjoyed the European style Italian pizza. Specifically it's very similar to the Italian pizza you get in Germany. It is not typical of what you get in the United States. The pizzas are smaller and the crust is lighter. They are very tasty! They had other decent stuff as well but the tomatoes use for the caprese salad were not so great. However I didn't penalize them too much because it's very hard to find any high quality tomatoes in the Azores during the month that we were there at least. This is definitely a worthwhile restaurant to try. It looks like it's right on the ocean but do not be deceived it's not really right on the ocean. It's across the street and you can't really see the ocean from there. this was not a big deal but I did have the impression from Google maps that it was right on the ocean and...

Walked in without a reservation, and the waiter was nice enough to take the 5 of us anyway, letting us know we could only use the table for an hour and a half. Which was fine. We don't take the little coffee at the end of the meal anyway.

The pizza is what the place is known for, so we all got our own. I ordered the pizza named after the restaurant itself, and was not disappointed. Chloe ordered the "Azorcean" which I think I will get next time, it was even better. Great food. Pizza was about 12-13 € a person.

Going to try to boot up this google account and use it like my letterbox. We'll see how accurate I can really get, as on this app sometimes the actual companies respond, which I don't want. Makes me feel less inclined to give an honest review when I don't like a place. Stay tuned. Lol.

But yeah this place was a...

Do not eat there unless you are happy to risk being poisoned.

Não coma lá, a menos que esteja feliz em correr o risco de ser envenenado.

Ate there 2 x over past few nights. Unfortunately are happy using ingredients which are past their best.

Comi lá 2 vezes nas últimas noites. Infelizmente, estamos felizes em usar ingredientes que passaram do seu melhor.

They will try to disguise the taste with seasoning and cooking.

Eles tentarão disfarçar o sabor com tempero e culinária.

Ordered a steak which the waiter asked me to take a smaller portion of than the kilo they’d normally give for a t-bone, unfortunately this is a dirty trick used on people when they want to get rid of ingredients past their best, especially used on tourists worldwide.

Pedi um bife que o garçom me pediu para tomar uma porção menor do que o quilo que normalmente dariam por um t-bone, infelizmente este é um truque sujo usado nas pessoas quando elas querem se livrar de ingredientes além de seus melhores, especialmente usados em turistas em todo o mundo.

I went with it not wanting someone else to get it.

Eu fui com ele sem querer que outra pessoa o recebesse.

When it came it was blue (I’d requested rare/medium) and it was obviously past its best having a taste reminiscent of the sea. Meats go fishy when off.

Quando chegou, era azul (eu pedi raro/médio) e obviamente passou do seu melhor com um sabor que lembra o mar. As carnes ficam de peixe quando estão desligadas.

Pizzas are not the best, the best pizzas are made with the best and freshest ingredients, these certainly are not.

As pizzas não são as melhores, as melhores pizzas são feitas com os melhores e mais frescos ingredientes, certamente não são.

Coffee is awful and they list a flat white, order it and you’ll get a macchiato as we did.

O café é horrível e eles listam um branco plano, peça e você receberá um macchiato como nós fizemos.

They charged full price, told waiter meat was not right, offered to get it cooked more I refused and told him or his chef to try, he refused and wouldn’t.

Eles cobraram o preço total, disseram que a carne do garçom não estava certa, se ofereceram para cozinhá-la mais, eu recusei e disse a ele ou ao seu chef para tentar, ele se recusou e não quis.

They knew full well this was off when they sent it out.

Eles sabiam muito bem que isso estava desligado quando o enviaram.

Would not let a dog eat here.

Não deixaria um...
