    My dish was quite lacking in flavour. It desperately needed seasoning and had obviously not been checked by the chef before being served. My sangria was far too sweet and tasted more of a diet soft drink than red wine.

    Our server - might have been the owner - was courteous and friendly. Our meals were prepared piping hot, with minimal wait, and were delicious. It’s a little off the beaten path and away from (south of) the busier streets but should be visited.

    The homemade pasta is perfect! We had that and the grilled sardines which were very moist and delicious. I would skip the bread basket next time. The staff couldn't be more lovely. I would definitely go back!

    Food was delicious! Service was excellent and wine pours were generous. Only complaint was the door was open so traffic was loud as buses or motorcycles went past.

    Pizza was very obviously frozen pizza. Tasteless and looked like it was taken out of a package and put in an oven. Sangria was good, but that was all. Regretted eating here and cannot figure out where or how they have good reviews?

    We enjoyed the restaurant - friendly staff and great food and value. The house made pastas are excellent - I had the gnocci! Reasonably priced wines by glass and bottle!

    The menu on the fork website is outdated. I particularly chose this restaurant as it had vongole the menu. The actual restaurant had taken it off their menu a long time ago. In fairness, the waiter did offer to make it for my husband . The food wasn't great. The mains came within mins of finishing starter. Restaurant was practically empty and the staff clearly bored so hung around the two occupied tables. The english owner needs to come back to Portugal as sort his restaurant out . as we were told he's not been out since last November.

    The food was amazing and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly. Also so reasonably priced. The breaded aubergine is one of the nicest things I’ve ever eaten!!

    Nice cozy place, maybe a dozen tables. Each person in our group commented on how good the food was. We all ordered different items. Service was spot on. Would go back and recommend to others.

    i've been there at least seven times and the food is always awesome, it tastes homemade. next time i just won't have the "house" wine because there are several better options not much more expensive (i'm talking under 11 euro).
