My family and I were stumbling down a narrow cobble-stoned hill from Coimbra University looking for…read morea lunch spot when a guy darts across us carrying a tray of hot lasagna smiling and yelling "OY OY OY". 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. Friendly and attentive servers. Affordable. GO THERE.
