Olive Cafetaria Restaurante & Pizzaria — Restaurant in Porto

We are visiting from the United States. I have a hard time eating out especially in a foreign country. I have Alpha Gal syndrome, a problem arising from the bite of a Lone Star tick. I have had it about one year. I cannot eat anything from animals with hooves which also includes milk and cheese. I mostly have to eat chicken and fish and salads.

Just a coffee but she sold for sure many visits and got new friends.

Have a lovely weekend with your...

We live nearby and enjoy popping in for pizza or pasta. The service has always been friendly and efficient. We enjoy the pizzas (Salerno is my favorite) and pastas (carbonara is creamy and decadent).

The server offered us a complimentary glass of port in appreciation of our patience (they were short-staffed but honestly the service was great anyway). A lovely local spot for a cozy dinner.

During the day they operate as a traditional cafe with coffee, pastries, toast, etc. Again the staff is great, very welcoming and it’s a nice place for a coffee...
