Paesano — Restaurant in Portimão

what an outstanding experience! after a horrific experience at donna maria in carvoeiro, this was the opposite end of the spectrum thanks to the amazing kindness and service from aurelio and bruno. we were warmly welcomed. upon receiving the menus, bruno suggested a few favorites and answered questions. aurelio, with his charismatic, compassionate and thoughtful personality, served us, showing genuine respect and interest in us. we were the 1st table of the night and we watched as the restaurant quickly filled up to capacity. we were overwhelmingly impressed with the smoothness and professionalism in watching aurelio and bruno manage the entire restaurant, serving all tables timely, running all food and making all drinks, all while still providing the time and patience for each table. they weren’t stressed or overwhelmed. they handled it with grace and all the customers were happy. we were incredibly impressed. if i owned a restaurant i would hire these 2 immediately with a high salary. the kindness, compassion and professionalism were unmatched. ...

One of the best restaurants in alvor! Our favourite!

The service here sets it apart - top class! All the young men waiters are great fun, really good personalities and helpful with drinks and menu.

We had the calamari to start. Two pizzas for mains - the paesano pizza is delicious ! Very fresh and authentic. For dessert we had the Nutella brownie, absolutely out of this world, amazing!

The bottle of Prosecco was lovely. We sat outside in the courtyard area which was nice and quiet from the buzz inside the restaurant, there Was music playing out here. We came inside after for one drink and the guys have us two limoncello shots, a nice touch!

Would definitely come back and couldnt recommend any higher, so...

We came here with our 2 small boys and their grandparents last week and had the most wonderful experience! The staff were so friendly and funny and made such a fuss over the kids. Even when my boy ordered chicken Nuggets (which wernt on the menu) and then changed his mind (after they went to the effort of making them) they waiter laughed and told us he was delighted because now he was going to eat the chicken Nuggets himself - the kids found this hilarious! The entire experience was also relaxing and that's before I even get to the food! Outstanding! Scampi and calamari to die for and the steak with gorgonzola sauce is something I still dream about! I would highly recommend this to anyone...
