Ristorante Pizzeria Mamma Lucia — Restaurant in Vila Real de Santo António

Looked inviting since we saw many guests on a sunday while walking by.

Food: tomatoes felt as if they were imported from Germany (meaning they had no taste at all) pizza was thin but taste was weak in taste (probably one of the worst pizzas I’ve had) ingredients are probably not the best selection preparation did not look fine either meaning it looked and felt like as if they did not cook/bake with love preparation time was fine

Service most employees did not talk did not serve with a friendly attitude 1-2 exceptions were fine

Ambience was fine in general good decorations of the tables (white red colored like in Italy) unfortunately the ambience seemed more like a bait than original and good quality food

Prices: Touristic prices for Portugal 11€ for a pizza Margherita 6€ for the tomato salad with onions (which was basically one large tomato with some slices of onions)

Not recommended but if you want to fund this restaurant over the winter, feel free to...

We might have had bad luck with our experience because everyone else seemed to have a good time here. For appetizers we ordered a bruschetta, which ended up looking like regular toasted bread. We saw other bruschettas going to other tables and they were not served with the same bread. We then waited more than an hour for our main course. I even finished my beer by the time my tagliatelle gorgonzola arrived (which was the best thing we ate there). We then had to wait an extra 15 minutes for the pizza carbonara we ordered, which arrived burnt and without any apologies. Other pizzas didn't have the crust so dark. We were so hungry by the time that we ended up eating it, but we are not...
