Restaurante Roma — Restaurant in Porto

Probably the best local restaurant in Sao Lorenzo area!. We were recommended by a local to have dinner here. It was so go we came back a second time during our holiday.

Good selection of local Portugese dishes comprising fish and meat dishes. The steak is great value and a single order could easily feed 3 people! Enjoyed the fish dishes.

On top that, the server is very nice, and it has a great local vibe...
