A last minute to do a late dinner on Sun as most other restaurants were closed and we didn't regret. Thanks to the great service and recommendations from one of the staff Yukio, our group of 5 truly enjoyed the pasta and pizza!

5.5/10Unwilling to take walk in, but when booked on Fork app this was okay. Food was pleasant rather than the usual Italian plates these had small twists or additions, cooked well though. Menu bonus was a sections for vegan and gluten free which was great.

5.5/10We have made reservations, but it seemed the table was not reserved, it took staff few minutes to find a table. Table was right next to the tables on the left and the right- no privacy. Service was slow and staff was getting confused on order- we asked if we can order a basket of bread, they said yes, but then said bread comes with an entree, but no bread came with pasta order. Lots of servers- but seems as unorganized movements. Was hoping for nice Italian dinner for two of us and we didn’t get it. Pasta was really good though- no complain about the food

7.5/10The space is beautiful but it's always super crowded and there are only a few centimetres separating the tables, so it's very noisy. The food isn't amazing, it's just normal Italian with high prices.

5/10Have to say we found the menu limited and very vegan/gluten free oriented (especially the desserts) without the restaurant having advertised itself as such. Not very inclusive really. Food was average and overpriced. Staff were very friendly but service was very lacklustre with the female waiters spending a lot of time chatting in the corner rather than paying attention to diners. Training needed there.

10/10We had an absolutely amazing experience at Bresca Coimbra Restaurant!!!!!!!!From start to finish, everything was perfect. The atmosphere was vibrant, the food was delicious, music good and the service was beyond exceptional. A special shoutout to Miguel, our server, who truly made our evening unforgettable!! He recommeHe was incredibly friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable — he knew the menu inside out and made fantastic recommendations. It honestly felt like he gave us everything the menu had to offer, and each dish was better than the last. His energy and passion for great service really stood out. If you’re in Coimbra and looking for a top-tier dining experience, Breshka is the place to go. Huge thanks to Miguel and the team for such a wonderful time. We’ll definitely be coming back!

8.5/10The salads, humus and lasagne were the best dishes. The plates are kind of unique and the ice-cream are served in a cold stone bowl which keeps the ice-cream frozen.

9.5/10Bresca is a gem of an Italian restaurant where incredible food meets beautiful design. The ambiance is warm and inviting, soft lighting, and elegant decor that sets the perfect scene for a memorable meal. The main courses are truly the highlight. The Carbotrufa pasta in a creamy truffle sauce is rich yet perfectly balanced. Each dish is thoughtfully prepared, celebrating authentic Italian flavours with a twist. Bresca is the ideal spot for those craving exceptional Italian cuisine in an exquisite setting.

3/10Service took too long, a plate was taken out before the person finished the meal, overpriced for the size amount of food, table wasn’t ready for the number of seats reserved when we arrived at the place

10/10Food was amazing! Beautiful place and environment. I'm vegetarian and my wife has celiac disease so we rarely get to share our meals. Having a gluten free menu took our experience to a whole new level! My wife was so happy. This was an amazing experience and a great way enjoy our time in Coimbra. Only problem was that the waitresses knew very little English, it was a bit difficult but we made it work, and they were all charming and patient with us. I would like to suggest more vegetarian gluten free pizza options to the menu (we asked for the meat in the pizza to be removed, but having it on the menu might be easier- especially with the language barrier). Overall- perfect! Definitely recommend!

10/10Vegan and gluten-free food made us select this restaurant. One of our party is celiac and mentioned it was the best pizza she's ever had. That is a great compliment. We need to know what ingredients were used! The vegan pizzas were also very good although a bit on the small side.

The food was pretty decent, and it’s good to have vegetarian, vegan and non-gluten options on the menu. The decor and environment is a bit hit and miss, but nothing off putting. I’ll probably be back.
