BellaCasa - Pizzeria e Trattoria — Restaurant in Setúbal

Not horrible, my girlfriend and I stopped for a quick dinner. Nomally this place is packed, but we wenr during a quiet weeknight. We ordered a pizza and spaghetti carbonara. The pizza was flavorful but soggy, the crust lacked body and strength, but did have a nice chew which I prefer over biting into a cracker. The carbonara was not made with the generally acceptable standard ingredient ratios. A portion should be made with at least 28 grams of guanciale, 35 grams of a Pecorino/Parmesan blend, and 1 egg yoke and a whole egg per portion of 100 grams of spaghetti with enough starchy pasta water to emulsify the dish and plenty of coarse black pepper. This ratio gives the dish a rich glossy and creamy outcome. Carbonara should be creamy, but shouldn't have any cream. This dish certainly didn't have any cream, but it also was not creamy. The carbonara here was tasty, the pasta was perfectly cooked, but it was dry and lacked the correct proportion of all the ingredients to supply a creamy texture. Frankly I make a better carbonara at home. A restaurant should strive to do their best always because they never know when an educated diner might show up. I understand that cost cutting measures must be taken when considering the local economy, but this restaurant is located in a somewhat upscale neighborhood. I personally never mind spending more when I know I will get a quality dish. I'm simply not sure it's would be worth another visit. It is hard to argue the job they are doing based on the number if good reviews. I assure you, the chef has talent, but they could be...

🍕 The tastiest Italian pizza! This place isn’t just a pizzeria — it’s a slice of Italy on a plate! The dough is perfect: thin, slightly crispy, with a rich tomato base and real mozzarella. The pasta? Next level — delicate, flavorful, like in a good Roman trattoria 🇮🇹

And the beer… wow! Cold, rich, and absolutely delicious — the perfect way to end the day.

Big bonus — kids’ menu! Our little one was thrilled with their mini pizza 🍕

Estive na BellaCasa no dia 11/10/24 com minha filha, meu genro e um casal de amigos. Logo de início há de se destacar o prédio onde está estabelecida a Trattoria. Uma verdadeira bela casa, de linda arquitetura na freguesia do Azeitão. A zona, para quem não conhece é composta por diversas vivendas lindas e de alto padrão. Logo na entrada somos recepcionados com muita simpatia e cordialidade. O espaço interior é bastante confortável, sem luxo, mas de muito bom gosto, muito aconchegante, me senti bastante confortável. O atendimento é de primeira qualidade do início ao fim, tem-se a sensação de que estão sempre a querer fazer algo mais para nos agradar. O cardápio, apesar de não ser muito extenso, o que talvez justifique a qualidade, tem uma boa opção de entradas, pratos incluindo massas, risotos e pizzas salgadas e doces e bebidas. Todos os alimentos preparados com ingredientes de evidente qualidade, desde a textura das massas até o sabor dos molhos, queijos e demais. O Chips de queijo granapadano dá um toque de sabor e sofiaticação. Amei e pretendo voltar muitas e...
