L'Oasis — Restaurant in Silves

A quaint little Italian. We had high hopes for this place as it was recommended to us by an English couple that used to live in this area. It did not disappoint! I was a little unsure after reading some of the reviews, but I can honestly say that I don't agree with anything negative that I read. The staff were lovely, the chef even made two little toys for our 1 year old out of old corks and a cocktail umbrella! If you're looking for a cute Italian restaurant with authentic pizzas or pasta (I'm not the biggest fan of pizza - don't hate me, but it is my husbands favourite) this has to be high up on the list! I had the Linguine Nero, my husband had Pizza Tricolore and my 1 year old had a Margharita. If you love seafood like me, I absolutely recommend this dish!

I don’t know why these restaurants bother staying open in October when there are hardly any tourists around and staff can’t be bothered to interact with...

From my point of view, highly overrated. The Pizzas are packed with way too many ingredients, the mushrooms on her pizza would have been suitable for 5-6 pizzas. the pizza-mass is not ideal neither, very watery ane not stable. My pizza was a little better, but way to go. My sons pasta (carbonara) was full of cream and bacon and very stuffy, never the less it was the best of all three plates. The starter (antipasto misto) was ok, but not more. the variety of meats and its quality was average or below. There are better italian restaurants in...
