House white was good and very similar to a dry Riesling. My mom loved her house rose. -I ordered the spaghetti bolognese for dinner. The pasta was cooked really well and the sauce was pretty good, wish it had more meat in it. I would try something different if I went again. -My mom got the linguini Michelangelo which she loved; prawns were cooked great. The service started off incredible. The entire waitstaff was very attentive to us and all took turns helping each table, however after it got busy we were kind of forgotten about. We had declined dessert and finished our meals and glasses and we just sat there for 20 minutes waiting for the check. Finally we got a servers attention and asked for it but she made us wait another 15 minutes while she bussed a 10-top table. I feel like she could have just quickly gotten our check to get us out of there since we had already been waiting so long but we finally could leave after about 30 minutes of sitting there with not even water.

Once up the stairs you have a nice view of the promenade, and the surroundings. We were quickly seated and warmly greeted by the staff. They seem to serve by committee here so we met numerous staff members during our meal. The service was quick, efficient, and obviously worked well together. We ordered a shared salad, the lovely K had the steak, Portuguese style and I the Pasta Puttanesca, along with a bottle of wine. The young man who brought us the wine was very nice, asked us how we had enjoyed our trip thus far and told us a bit about himself. Very well done. Our salad was delivered by another person along with the usual white vinegar, extra virgin olive, but also balsamic vinegar which is always an appreciated touch. Our dinners arrived piping hot, especially K's which was bubbling merrily when set down. The steak was a little on the chewy side, but the potatoes were super crispy and the gravy really good. The Puttanesca was good, not great, but was plentiful and well cooked. While we likely won't go all four nights we are in Portimão, but we will be back at least once more.

During our first visit to Portugal and the Praia da Rocha area, and after an amazing day spent on…read morethe beach, my husband and I didn't want to dine in any place for dinner. We just wanted something to take back to the apartment. We'd past this place before. It is not easy to find. Almost hidden behind another restaurant. But we are so glad we did. Not only did we enjoy the first visit there. But a week later, we came back again. This time for a dine-in. The pizza that we had BOTH times was so amazing. We order a basic veggie pizza with cheese, tomato sauce, cherry tomatoes, corn, mushrooms and something called rocket. We also added chicken and spinach. While we were waiting, we had an order of stuffed mushrooms. Very good! If you are in the area...please look for this place. It will be worth the effort!

On the good side: my family and I had no wait (in fact, no other co-diners) when we showed up for a very late lunch at 4p on a Wednesday. The English-speaking staff were confident and accommodating, and brought out our food and drinks promptly. Like in most of Portugal, our meal was so much less expensive than in other European countries and the U.S.: we spent 52 Euros with tip for two shandies, 0.5 L of rosé, and three entrees. The gnocchi and spaghetti noodles were acceptably al dente, and I say that as someone from New Jersey. Our oceanside seating was lovely to enjoy, thanks to the absence of crowds at the time we ate. On the bad side: My mushroom pizza's tomato sauce had no sweetness to it, much less umami, leaving only the acid. Its cheese was boring too; at least the mushrooms were fresh. The puttanesca sauce lacked balance, heavily tilting toward the garlic and onion side. The gnocchi was cheesy, but again the absence of tomato flavor left the dish well short of tasty. I was also not a fan of the house rosé. It was just bright. If anyone can finish a rosé, it's me, but I left two whole glasses behind. I was so looking forward to Italian food tonight, but this didn't get the job done.
