After a bit of research I found this place... and I couldn't have been happier. We shared a wonderful bottle of Portuguese red wine, the equivalent of a caprese salad, and a couple of margarita pizzas. Everything was super fresh and tasty. The salad was big enough for two to share.... and contained lots of lettuce and tomatoes and mozzarella cheese with a balsamic drizzle. The pizza had a wonderful toothsome crust that was slightly charred from being baked in a brick oven. It had the perfect sauce to cheese to basil balance. It was so wonderful to enjoy the taste of Italy while traveling through Portugal.

We decided to go with pizza and chose IL Pizzaiolo based on walking distance from our hotel. We came at 630 pm when the restaurant first opened and were the first patron that night. We got the chicken Caesar salad and the Diavolina (spicy salami) pizza. Firstly, on the table is a basket of bread and condiments. I recalled later on past review Yelp that if you eat it, there will be an additional charge to your bill. They don't say anything about that additional charge so be mindful of it. The charge you will see on your bill is Pao Cecete (bread) 2 euro and couvert pizzeria (condiment of butter, Olive oil and olives (2.8 euro) When we finished the sides, the waitress took our small plates and brought our salad and pizza. The pizza is not sliced at all and we had to ask the waitress for 2 plates to share the pizza and salad. I guess for some, the salad is their main meal. Chicken salad Caesar - 14.45 euro - delicious and had bits of bacon along with egg, Parmesan slices and croutons. Chicken breast was large pieces. 5 stars The Diavolina- got our craving for a light dish and something that had a light thin crust , light tomato sauce and tasty soft crust that hit the spot. 5 stars Yes, the price is a bit high but worth eating if you are craving for something like pizza.

I have mixed feelings about writing this review. I really want to love this place (their star pizza…read moreis a fave) but also, when you leave a place feeling a bit bamboozled by the experience, it makes you question returning. I do find that the "forced appetizer" concept is a bit over the top here. Often times the tables have bread, olives, jam/spreads sitting at the table on arrival. If you aren't familiar with "the way", most people eat them and are blind sided when they are on your bill. BUT this place doesn't stop there. They often bring three types appetizers to the table, which if you eat them, it is likely to raise your bill by 10/15 dollars (as a guess). I always turn them down. BUT just know. That bread sitting on the table has probably been breathed on by another table that turned it away. They are taken to and from the table often and I am unsure if that app is sanitary to eat at that point. Maybe? But be warned. Don't touch the apps or send them away as the arrive. You will be billed. Service is often, not the friendliest. We have gotten one lovely gentleman from Brazil once as a server and he was fab! But recently we got this woman that was less than friendly. Calling people "hey lady" when needing to get attention, and not patient. Maybe just say "excuse me" next time as some feedback. To be fair, it might be a direct language translation (Menina) which is acceptable in Portuguese. Even if so, the place had basically zero people the most recent visit except us and I felt patience and kindness could have been extended a little more. FYI: they won't give you tap water (even though legally they have to when requested) so expect to buy your water, maybe if you are a local Português things are different. I am not Portuguese but I am local and this is the first place that has ever refused me a cup of water. "It tastes bad" was the reason. As a side note: the first time we came here we arrived at 11:58. They opened at 12:00 and they told us we had to wait outside until 12...in the bitter cold and torrential rainfall. I understand not being "open" but I don't think there would have harm in allowing us the stand in the entry way for less than 2 minutes until the proverbial open gates flung open. Overall, you likely will enjoy your meal. But just be aware of the funky little quirks about this place. Oh ya, and paying and splitting bills can get funky with them too so just bring cash if you have more than yourself and you are splitting the bill.... I say this so you don't have to navigate it. There is a lot of good things about this place and I hope next time, if I visit again, things will feel different. It might have been a bad few days for them. I mean, we haven't seen the sun for weeeeeeeks so maybe we are all just blue.

Nice vibes...but beware…read more I have dined at Grigio during the multiple times I have visited Porto. I typically order the same thing and it usually ranges from decent to very good. However, I forgot that they are tricky. Upon being seated, they will bring a small basket of bread (three half slices of toast and a couple oversized thin crackers). They call this "Couvert". They will stand there with the bread and say something like "I have some bread for you" or "Would you like some bread?" They do not mention the charge of €3.50, but it is on the menu to order. But typically, you have yet to look at the menu to see it on there by the time it is presented to you. So who knows how many people have been fooled by this. Instead of letting people order a starter if they want, they are brought this bread by default. During my most recent visit, I noticed a couple who picked up a tip left on their table because they were unaware of the charge when they got their final bill. I will most likely never dine there again. But let this be a warning to those visiting Porto who decide to dine there. The pizza is good, but there is better in the area. My review is heavily weighted towards a 3 due to how they conduct their business.

The vibe is like a small local pizza hoping you'd find in Brooklyn. Unassuming and clean. A small variety of bottles and tap beer, wine and beverages. Had the house special seafood pasta and pepperoni pizza mini. The house special seafood pasta was not very good. The sauce was relatively tasteless and the seafood was poorly prepared (shrimp was a bad example of frozen seafood). There were some other tables that had ordered it, so it could just be an off night for the kitchen. The mini pepperoni pizza was a bit larger than a dinner plate and freshly made. Unfortunately there was no flavor in the crust and barely any sauce. Overall not very flavorful and not worth ordering. There were a couple other tables that had pizzas ordered so possibly like the pasta, an off night for the kitchen. One note - almost every every person in the restaurant besides the couple of pasta and pizzas ordered the francesinha. It appears to be the real winner here. If you're hungry and nearby, I would recommend to try that dish and forgot any thought of Italian fresh cuisine. Should have remembered the golden rule - check what the locals order first. The food experience should have made this a one or two star review, but the nice wait staff and the overwhelming orders of the francisenha these people were enjoying should give this joint a second chance.
