We ordered the mushrooms, and garlic shrimp for starters (must have bread to soak up the rich drippings. For dinner we ordered the Pork Cheek and Tornedo (filet of beef) both were perfectly prepared and so tender. The dessert of the day which was a poached pear and vanilla ice cream was light and a nice finish. If you are looking for exquisite dining in a cozy and welcoming setting (12 tables) come and eat at this establishment which is ran by a mother (Chef) & son (Host & Server) team. I'd also recommend making a reservation on their website.

This was some of the best food we had since our visit to Portugal. Absolutely outstanding! 5+stars.read more

We got the pork and clams (always delicious but more so in the Alentejo region of Portugal), and a beef dish made with honey and wine. A bit strong for my taste but good nonetheless. Service was good and attentive and they'll split the check if you ask nicely. When I was there the credit card machine was on the Fritz so we had to pay with cash. I hope they've figured that out.

We sat outside under the umbrellas right off a narrow street and watched people walk by. The weather was perfect and the food was great. My friend ordered the pork with wine and honey and she said it was very tasty. I ordered the codfish fritters (2 in an order) which were nicely cooked and the fried cuttlefish with fries. They came out like fish fingers but were so tasty. Perfect for lunch. Cuttlefish is in the family of squid and octopus, so it has that same texture. It was fried perfectly and very soft. Definitely worth a stop at this restaurant!

We checked out a few places along this street and the picture menu sold us - it really helped us see what they had to offer. Also their prices were a bit cheaper than other spots nearby. We got a nice outside table and our drinks came quickly but then everything ground to a halt. There was one waiter for a dozen or more tables. We waited close to 45 minutes for our food. The omelets were good but the traditional "meal" sausage was not to my liking. I think it was not cured and thus it had a very mushy consistency that I found gross. The flavor was OK but it was just not my thing. That happens sometimes when you travel... Of course trying to get and pay the bill was another challenge. We had been in the country two weeks and this was only the second time service was glacially slow.

A glowing fire of charcoal was burning in a small wheel barrow by the front door. The lights flickered back on as I stepped inside to see a small dining room, already full. In my broken Portuguese/Spanish, I asked if they served food, they nodded yes as the rest of my party walked through the door. I said, "Ok, donje?" The unhappy waitress barely nodded her head toward the stairs and we ventured into an empty dining room set with white table clothes. One long table was set for 20 with tapas already in place. We settled into the other table and struggled through the one menu they gave us. Soon, the other table started to fill and we learned it was a party for the workers from another restaurant in town (good sign). One of the workers came to help us translate and we ended up with one of the best meals we have had since in Portuglal. The pitcher of white wine was $5 and excellent and smooth. The grilled pork was mouth watering... the french fries and salad was what was to be expected. Still, a very pleasant surprise and excellent meal experience. Authentic counts here.

Pizzeria L'Italiano was only a short walk from our flat and totally fit the bill. The two folks that greeted us as we walked in were perfect for the place. The woman wearing an apron that the lovely K coveted immediately, and the young man with the perfectly shaped and waxed moustachioed welcomed us warmly. We sat at a table of our choice and noticed that there were already four tables with reserved signs on them, so the place is popular for sure. We were offered pizza dough buns and garlic butter as opposed to the typical drop and charge that is typical in so many places in Portugal. We had decided prior to going that we were going to say yes. The bread was so warm, and soft with a crunchy exterior that once the butter was added it melted in your mouth. We ordered our customary bottle of white, a fresh salad and some pasta. The lovely K had the Cannelloni, and I the Tri pasta with spaghetti, tortellini and penne. Both sauces were the same with a different pasta noodle. Both were good, plentiful, but not awe inspiring. We are in Portugal after all, but the food more than passed muster. We loved the interior of the building as so often seems to be the case in this UNESCO world heritage site. The curved and vaulted ceilings are gorgeous , we wish we could have them in our home in Canada. If you are looking for some Italian comfort food complete with great service and fair pricing you won't find much better in Evora's old town. Salut!

I wanted to write a review because even though this trip was 3 years ago, I will NEVER forget this place. It was one of the most memorable dining experiences I have had in all of Portugal. The best thing about Portuguese cuisine is the simplicity of the flavors. Salt and pepper gives food a nudge but what you are served, from the meat to the seafood to the veggies shine on their own. The food at Pateo is fresh and simple and clearly memorable! The Iberian Pork was to die for! Simply seasoned with fries and I washed it down with a Super Bock. The service was quick and outstanding. And we sat on the well shaded Patio. Just loved the entrance. It had its own alley way. The place is not huge but works with a mid sized party. Would have loved to dine there at night. I will always visit Evora for this restaurant. Will never forget my experience here. Can't wait to come back! Easy to get here from Lisbon.
