Our waiter was good and gave us the time we needed for such a nice meal. We ordered a bottle of wine for our meal and a caprese salad to share. The salad was wonderful with their own olive oil and balsamic to drizzle over the salad. For a main I had the filets of pork over sweet potatoes and creamed spinach. Meat was tender and flavorful. My wife ordered the cheese and onion stuffed ravioli with a wedge of cheese on the side. She loved it. One of the best restaurants so far on our trip to Portugal.

While there I saw a few pizzas come out. They looked very good. Another thing I do on action around the world is try the pizza! So when I saw the pie's yesterday? I made it a point to go there today. They made one of the top 5 pizzas I've ever had in my life around the world. Like destination worthy visit! If you in Porto, not in the overly tourist areas? Pay homage to Mamma Mia! Not to mention an impeccable clean interior decorated with class. Beautiful bossa nova music playing in the background and top quality attentive service.

I asked if we could sit down to eat and he slaps me on the back and says "yes, bambino!" Thus began a fine experience at this lovely Italian restaurant. That guy turns out to be the proprietor and his energetic attitude is only matched by the quality of the food. Fresh ingredients simply prepared with care...that's all you can ask for from any establishment and this place certainly delivers on that. Everything was very good: fried polenta app, Margherita pizza, tagliatelle pasta (we had bolognese and pesto sauces). Simple house glass of wine. Fine desserts and coffee.

The wait staff was incredibly professional and knowledgeable. I was told that since I was just one person, they could make me a half size appetizer, which I really appreciated! But unfortunately the few apps I was interested in were not available in half sizes. I ended up going with bread service and the pesto pasta. Both were tasty enough and I left feeling full. I probably didn't order the best, but I didn't find this to be a particularly noteworthy meal food-wise, especially for being on the pricier end. Nice ambiance inside!
