We had an antipasti with garlic bread to start with, followed by a very delicious vegetarian pasta accompanied by a nero d'avola and ended with a tiramisu. The food was very authentic Italian and we found out that the chef was Italian and the host Portuguese. The host always smiled and was very attentive - and we appreciated this down to earth and authentic Italian restaurant and would go there again anytime.

Tonight we shared the piri piri chicken, very hot sauce, and sea bass. Service was quick and the place was immediately full at seven. We ordered a bottle of Portuguese house red wine for $7.50. It was a 2021 edition but was really good, an Alicante Bouchet grape originally from France but transported to southern Portugal. The owner cooks the fish to order on a charcoal grill and it melted in your mouth. We also tried the house specialty, piri piri chicken. The chicken was so tender! We ordered the piri piri on the side as it is very hot. Our sides were chips, french fries in the US, which were addicting and a Portuguese salad with lettuce, onions, tomato, cucumbers and marinated green pepper in a tasty red wine vinegar dressing which perfectly complimented the fried and rich foods. The restaurant is very humble and a challenge to find but if you are in Alvor Lagos Portugal, make the effort to find it in the central part of town. Parking is a challenge and the payment is cash or debit card only, but you will not regret your decision. Thanks for a great last dinner in Portugal.

It is located in a quaint fisherman's town, about 15 minute drive from where we stayed in Portimao. There were 5 of us, and we are a group of sharers. We ordered the fried sardines and friend prawns as an appetizer, absolutely delicious! I am not a sardine eater, but so glad I tried. Would eat again! For dinner we shared the shellfish cataplana, monkfish rice, and a whole grilled sea bass. Everything was absolutely delicious! The sea bass was beautifully cooked on the grill and filleted at the table. Bruno was our host, he was very helpful and friendly with guiding us and explaining the meals. He was very funny as well! We enjoyed everything from start to finish. We ended the meal with a lovely port wine.

The food was very nice but the manner of this staff member who obviously had lots of years of experience left a bad taste and therefore wevwould not have any desire to return here despite visiting Alvor on holidays very often.
