    This place was recommended by a family member that grew up in the area and is worth a visit! Their…read moremenu has a lot of options for people and they have A LOT of desserts and regional ones as well. The service is fast and you have to pay inside after you ask for your bill. They are quick to get your order if you eat outside or are getting pastries to go inside. The space is nice and the outdoor seating area is the better option. I would recommend one of the regional pastries such as fruta de Algarve, which are similar to soft marzipan with a thick egg yolk and sugar mixture in the middle. It's not like marzipan in the States and a lot softer and has a better texture and flavor. The other would be the Dom Rodrigo, which comes in a little colorful foil packet. It's an egg yolk and sugar mixture that is in thin strings layered on top of each other and swimming in a simple syrup. It might be too sweet for some.

    This place can get busy but they are VERY organized and efficient. We ordered pastries and then an…read moreomelette. There are two cues, one to order for takeout and a second to eat either inside or outside. We loved their pastries and service was amazing!! The servers were quick and my favorite has been Pedro who took the time to explain things to us. Looks like plenty of locals come here as you can see many families showing up, especially for take out pastries. A definite stop by if you are in the area and want to start your day right!!

    Great place to have lunch or dinner. There are a plethora of restaurants to choose from in Olhos de…read moreÁgua, this is one of the bigger ones and it is close to one of the beaches. Honestly, we initially chose this restaurant mainly because the bathrooms were wheelchair accessible (my mom has trouble walking). The waitress was so nice and helpful that we decided to eat there for lunch. It wasn't busy because we were there during the low season but even so there was plenty of (shaded and sheltered) seating available. Sitting in a bit of shade, in a light breeze from the Atlantic Ocean, we had a very enjoyable lunch consisting of shrimp in garlic and a pizza di Campo (thin crust, salami, onion, mushroom and pesto). It took about 20ish minutes for the food to come out but when you are sitting on a comfortable sunlit terrace, in an old Portuguese town, watching people stroll by on the cobblestone streets, with the dim sounds of the ocean waves breaking in the background, you tend not to be in a hurry. Our food was pretty good, better than I would have expected from a restaurant we kind of randomly chose. They offer a nice variety of appetizers, sandwiches, pastas and pizzas. The desert menu also looked very enticing and they apparently make their own gelato. Unfortunately, we were too full to try it. Solid four stars, maybe even five stars, if the gelato lives up to its promise in the future. We would definitely consider coming back!

    First place we stopped at when we arrived in town. Party of 10 sat outdoors. Server was beyond…read morerude. Place was empty and took 15 min to take out drink order. Ordered calamari appetizer and it was absolutely horrible. Looked like fried zeppole with a gummy calamari in the center (look at first picture). This was suppose to be the calamari!!! We ordered the quarttro formaggio app and instead she ordered the quarttro formaggio pizza. When it came to the table she insisted that what we ordered and didn't offer to switch it. So inappropriate to argue with guest about what they ordered. Change it and fix the issue. When we asked how big the pizza was she said "why are you asking what size a pizza is a pizza i don't know how much you would eat.". Seven of us ordered margarita pizza and it not good at all. How do you mess up margarita pizza. Sauce and fresh mozzarella.. how do u mess that up ??? What we got was cheese pizza. I asked for arugula to be added on top and even that was terrible. Looks like the afternoon shifts were switching and the original servers disappeared after orders were served. The server that came in to replace them was great. She made a bad situation better by paying attention and being more attentive. Left her an extra tip bc she was at the very least friendly. Do not recommend dining here... keep on walking when you see this place. I'm sure you will find another pizza that is a lot tastier!

    Very friendly staff. Lots of Italian food on offer. Pleasant atmosphere. Pizza's highly recommended.read more
