Finally, an Italian place the whole family enjoyed on this trip to Portugal. Compared to our previous negative experience at another joint in Lisbon which I had given a super negative review (my rare few), this place is really value for money pasta. We didn’t order the pizza but the table next to us did and it looked great and bigger than usual size. They even had Hawaiian version, Italians will freak at this lol.
We had squid ink pasta with prawns and clams. We were delighted that not only did it come in good portions, there was an expected and reasonable amount of seafood in my plate. Not singular piece of seafood like our prior bad experience in Lisbon. In fact, not only did the quantity feels right, the prawns were FRESH and Sweet! They even threw in extra peeled shrimps in addition to the big prawns. We finished every bit of it! This is what decency in business meant. Not ripping customers off by serving mainly a whole plate of noodles only. The sauce while wasn’t full flavoursome, it was still above average nice.
May I say the pineapple+orange juice was refreshing and delightful!
We also had the homemade Oreo mousse. We liked it. Not overly sweet and again sensible portion. Would recommend others to come
I saw some comment on the service not being great but we were fine with ours. They were fast and efficient, not with huge grin but was responsive. After my meal, the staff did smile when we...
Read moreWent here in a Friday night, was busy but we got a table, normal cool busy Friday atmosphere . Service was good. But the food … requires a kit of work and learning. That’s is not Italian food. The carbonara had cream, zero cheese and was made with regular supermarket spaghetti despite the menu mentioning eggs and other ingredients. Very greezy of the amount of bad quality bacon on it. Terrible. The other plates did not look good also. Pizza looked like frozen, lasagna (I tasted) was not good and was cold. I’ve been to many Italian places (good and bad) and to Italy. The food here is what we call “ for...
Read moreAl entrar por mera casualidad a este rincón culinario en Oporto, mi amiga y yo no imaginábamos que estábamos a punto de embarcarnos en un viaje gastronómico directo al paraíso. Con cada plato que llegaba a nuestra mesa, desde la exquisita pizza al pesto hasta la jugosa carne de vaca acompañada de un cremoso risotto, sentimos cómo nuestros paladares eran transportados a un estado de éxtasis absoluto. No podemos dejar de mencionar las bebidas que maridaron a la perfección nuestra comida: un vino seleccionado con maestría y una cerveza que refrescaba cada bocado.
El helado de pistacho y el cheesecake de maracuyá fueron la guinda del pastel, postres que no solo deleitaron nuestro sentido del gusto sino que también nos hicieron sentir en el cielo con su sabor y textura. Es imposible no agradecer profundamente a la chef Alda, cuya habilidad en la cocina nos brindó una experiencia inolvidable, y a Lucas, quien con su atención increíble y recomendaciones acertadas, hizo de nuestra visita algo verdaderamente especial.
Venimos de España a Oporto y, hasta el momento, este ha sido el mejor lugar en el que hemos comido. Pero más allá de la comida, lo que vivimos fue una experiencia completa; un momento de conexión única con la cultura y la pasión por la buena mesa. Desde el ambiente acogedor hasta el servicio excepcional, todo en este lugar nos habla de amor por la gastronomía y de un deseo genuino de compartir ese amor con cada cliente.
Así que, desde el fondo de nuestro corazón, gracias a todo el equipo, especialmente a la chef Alda y a Lucas, por hacer de nuestra visita algo más que una comida: una celebración de la vida y sus sabores. Sin duda, este restaurante es un tesoro oculto en Oporto que recomendaremos fervientemente a todos los que buscan no solo alimentar el cuerpo, sino...
