Meh. So of course all of the restaurants on the Machado Square have great ambience, and this is no exception.
The reason for the low review is primarily the food quality. It is somewhere between a 2 and 3 star, though after thinking about it a bit I am going to go with 2. I'll start with the best:
- My friend ordered a fish, which he said was good
- The grilled zucchini (with balsamic) and gouda cheese appetizers were both good. They were a good start to our meal.
- The sirloin steak was enjoyed.
- I wasn't that impressed with the pizza, although the kids (ages 11 and 14) thought that they were good, so I guess I'll give that win. Also they make them in personal sizes, and the pizza oven was efficient (it came out first).
The worst things we had were the pastas. They just weren't that good. The white sauce in the pastas were very bland, almost like a chinese restaurant gravy in the states. And the pasta bolognese was also quite bland.
Service was fine -- not great or super friendly, but they were friendly and got us what we needed.
If you decide to go here, I'd just suggest experimenting with the appetizers, and skipping the pastas. read more
