50 Best Italian Restaurants near Alcantarilha

“The place is good, but they abuse cilantro in Portugal. It is a particular flavor that we don't like. We ordered rice with monkfish for €45 for 2 people. It was an exaggerated amount, 4 people eat with that casserole, it had a lot of monkfish. It was good, but we think the cilantro flavor spoiled the dish a little for our taste. If you like cilantro, then you will surely love it because the quantity is incredible! It was impossible to finish it! The service very good. I recommend it because it has many dishes and everything looks very good, but I want to point out that Portuguese foods have a lot of coriander because Spaniards do not like it very much and I also advise the restaurant that when Spaniards go, they say before ordering what it contains. that species. For the rest, I see it very well.“

“Food was great. Everyone had a different starter beforehand.Spaghetti with buttery pork belly as a main course. Finished with a beurre blanc and a pickle of coleslaw. Really special and super tasty.For dessert mattenelle di cioccolato.All dishes were beautifully prepared, but the desserts stood out above all.These were true works of art.A young but really good team of catering staff who really dot the i's and cross the i's. Correct and friendly.Big thumbs up.Beautiful, fully restored farm with all kinds of nice details and a matching interior that creates a great ambiance.We will definitely go back here again.

Parking: A little further down the one-way street where this restaurant is located, there is another parking lot on the left.“

“The food was lovely, I had the meatballs to start then the Octopus for main, they were Devine. The staff were very helpful and pleasant. As it was a Saturday the entertainment was brilliant, we were singing and dancing. Would recommend to everyone and their gluten free varieties were excellent.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options readily available good choice too.“

“A good Italian restaurant, very nice and friendly waiters. The views are unbeatable and they were fast.

I don't give it 5 stars because I expected a little better for the carbonara pasta I ordered and it was cold after the second bite. I don't know if it was because it took a long time to take it out and it was already cold or because the air conditioning was on full blast.
Still I would return for sure.“

“The food was absolutely spectacular quality - probably helped by the fact I was on eof the few people in the restaurant so there was huge rush to get loads of dishes out to customers in time / everything was done with care. It was also my birthday so the waiter made a complimentary cocktail at the start of my meal as well which was a welcome surprise. The only deduction was because by the end of 3 courses, I was the only person left in the restaurant so there wasn't really an ambience at all - but I am aware I travelled in low season so maybe it is to be expected.“

“We have been to Oasis many times before. The number of tables outside are limited and certainly in summertime you will have to wait to eat outside. We ate inside which is also nice. Interior is everything you would expect of the ancient 80s pizzerias. The pizzas are great and not expensive. Once inside you get to experience the not so solid organization between kitchen and the rest of the restaurant. A lot of ‘conversation’ and there is clearly a disconnect with the fast pace pizza kitchen and the rest of the crew. Overall great place, good prices“

“This was our first visit to Primavera and we were impressed. The location is very nice and there is inside and outside seating. I would recommend a reservation as this restaurant is popular. Service was good and the pasta dishes were excellent. I had the gluten free mixed seafood pasta. There are many gluten free options. Highly recommend.“

“Good food with good presentation.
And super friendly employees always with a smile. A young Brazilian man who works there, when he passed by me, always came to say hello ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
People like this are what you want in these places. All the luck in the world to you??“

“First visit after new management and we enjoyed the new dishes they've added to the menu. The fried gnocchi starter with burrata was incredible!The atmosphere was a bit odd however, it could have been due to the fact it was a Thursday evening, but it didn't seem to have the same buzz that it once did.“

“Was really surprised with this place. It is an Italian but also does Indian food and honestly it's some of the best Indian food I've actually had. Got the mixed (Jaipur) Biryani, it was so delicious and I ordered some chicken Tandoori after it“

“Excellent service, fantastic atmosphere. A great appetizer of mussels and chunky tomatoes with torn mozzarella. In addition, fresh bread with delicious olive oil and homemade butter. Everything perfect!Then the main course fried seasonal fish and beef steak. The fish was very good. Crunchy and well done. The star deduction is for the meat. Too tough, underfried and very difficult to cut because it is very fibrous. Not ok at the level. Fries were ok. Dessert good again. Creme brûlée with lemon sorbet, solid and delicious.“

“The name changed to Trattoria dei sapori.A welcoming atmosphere and attentive, friendly service.The peperoni pizza is really spicy and the seafood pizza is absolutely delicious... It smells like the sea, tastes like the sea and delights our senses.“

“Great karaoke /bar’ Had an amazing Christmas & New Year.. ??? Thanks a lot Louisa , you make the best Long Island cocktail ? I have ever had…? Cheers Gonzalo, & mates for your company, & all the games of pool.. And thanks to all the staff of the Coyote.. Hope to see you all again soon.. Peter..❤️??“

“A small, clean pizzeria with delivery service a little away from the hustle and bustle. The staff is extremely friendly and you are served quickly. We were only here for a few days and ate here every day. The pizzas are simply great, great dough with the usual toppings that taste perfect. The salad and pizza bread with cheese are also simply delicious!! Price performance and service are definitely right here!“

“The most friendly service we've experienced here! We went here twice - both times great food, service and good energy!They do service many daily specials you won't find on the menu only on the board - so if you feel like not eating burgers, there are many other daily options (prawns, chicken, lamp, beef..)“

“BEST PIZZA EVER! I came here 3 times for the week I stayed in Carvoeiro. Tried 3 different items as well, all tastes like heaven! Would come back just for the pizza. The one thing I love the most is the adjustable spicy level, I love spicy, and chef can adjust different spicy levels!“

“The service was impeccable, with a warm and attentive team. The salmon tagliatelle was delicious, with a flavorful and perfectly balanced sauce. The restaurant is very well located and offers a pleasant setting, where you are not crowded together. A place to recommend without hesitation!“

“Cozy restaurant, with very nice decoration. We went to dinner and sat on the terrace.
The staff was very friendly, Rabbi served us and he was very polite and attentive. We are Spanish, we do not speak Portuguese and he does not speak Spanish but he does speak English and he has tried very hard to understand my Extremaduran English XD.
We have ordered garlic bread, spaghetti bolognese and lasagna and everything was excellent, although the price is a little high.
The tiramisu is delicious ?
I would definitely return“

“IT'S OUTRAGEOUS HOW DELICIOUS THIS PIZZA IS!
This was really one of the best pizzas I've ever eaten ?? Super nice people and our food was ready quickly. Value for money is great.
In theory you can eat on site because there are 2 or 3 small tables with chairs here, but it's more of a snack bar.“

“He had a wait on a Saturday evening, but it passed very quickly with the view.
All the staff are friendly, I had a classic pizza, 4 cheeses, really good and a salmon brushetta, nothing more but I enjoyed it. We were placed upstairs, great view of the sea.
Pleasant and fast service.
Simple but good cocktails.
Thank you Divini!“

“We have been happy to go there every year on holiday for the past 5 years. The food is plentiful and the price is appropriate for the quantity. The owner is always friendly and even knows our taste preferences, even though we only go there once a year.“

“Great food, friendly service. When we were there it was a bit slow, but only due to a packed place, and given that, they did a great job. There's a lovely garden to sit outside, street next to it a bit busy bit not too much. Inside area is atmospherically a bit poor but with a nice view to the kitchen.“

“Really lovely restaurant

Lovely Rose
Amazing panoramic sea view terrace
Affordable- really loved it here
Lovely staff too
A must for holiday lunch or dinner just next to Oura beach near where the tuck tucs park near beach bars.

“We went for a long walk one day and on the way back saw the A board outside saying Vegan pizza so had to walk back in the evening to try one. It was very busy and we hadn’t booked but they managed to fit us two in thankfully. We just had a basic vegan pizza covered in delicious tomato sauce and various vegetables. One of the young ladies gave us a choice of what we wanted and then went and took the dough, kneeded it next to the large pizza oven before covering it….so it was all very fresh and cooked to perfection. It would be better to book as there is not a lot of room inside! We enjoyed our visit and would go again but it was very noisy! Thank you for letting us have a table on a busy evening.“

“Really delicious pizzas! We went to the restaurant just as their menu had changed, and the staff were interested in asking our opinions about the dishes. The pizzas were heavenly and the pastas were also good. My favorite pizza, which I recommend to all burrata and pistachio lovers, is "Pistacchiella", but I left out the ham, it works either way. The only thing that was "only" 4/5 was the ice creams, which were very good, but the random ice chips in the ice cream were not to my taste. During the day, the restaurant had a Happy Hour, which was also a nice surprise, a small drink 2€ and an Aperol Spritz 4-5€. The terrace of the restaurant has a beautiful view of the sea, especially the sunset we saw on two evenings crowned the dinner. Last night we had 12 people for dinner. they don't have ready tables for such a big group, but they managed to arrange tables for us by moving a common table to the terrace. All in all, I really recommend the restaurant. The only room for development that I can give the restaurant is that attention should be paid to the speed of the service. Fortunately, Mr. Shift Manager (I assume) was there and dealt with the problems.“

“Nothing is too much trouble for this team and it really is a pleasure to dine there
We went for lunch and had a most delicious veal strips salad (there was limited choice for coeliacs). Returned for dinner as the salad was good but discovered that the salad was only on the lunch menu. Edgar, the charming waiter, spoke to the chef who made me the salad again as a special request. Can recommend the local green wine too“

“A firm favourite of ours and a restaurant we continue to visit whenever we’re in Albufeira. Very hospitable restaurant, which has been in existence for years and is always busy - a reflection of an excellent reputation if you need one. A wide range of pizzas and other meals, accompanied by a fine choice of drinks. If there is not a choice of pizza you desire, Senhor Frog’s can still cater for and accommodate you. Quite possibly the best tasting pizza you’ll eat, and not just whilst on holiday or in Albufeira.. As always, we will be return in 2024.“

“I didn't remember to take a photo.
Starting with the food: it was very tasty! I ordered garlic bread as a starter, which they did well with the cheese, and the flavor of the garlic in the bread was light and tasty. The pepperoni pizza was amazing! And the fresh ingredients.
The service: it was excellent, the servers were super friendly and attentive, they sent the food, drinks and dessert quickly.
And the environment: it has air conditioning so it has already won my heart and the background music is very pleasant.
The experience was great! I will come back more often“

“Myself and my partner had evening meal here tonight, we had a garlic bread with mozzarella, spaghetti bolognese and spaghetti carbonara, both meals were lovely and full of flavour, also good price, the people that run it were very friendly, unfortunately for them business was low and we was the only 2 in there, but they made up for it having conversations asking about us, if you want an Italian I highly recommend going you won’t regret it.“

“Very good experience in il terrazzo. Anti pasti was a large selection. We had the soup of the day which was tomato, followed by proscutio and funghi pizza which was huge and the wife had the lasagne. Also had deserts. Very nice decor inside and the red and white wine was flowing.“

“Beautiful restaurant with friendly and professional staff. Great pizza (complimented perfectly with peri peri oil for those who crave spice). Nutella ring dessert was perfect. Would definitely recommend this aesthetic spot to anyone who fancies a decent meal in a ambient spot which is reasonably priced.“

“I am SO glad that we tried this restaurant without reading some of the reviews which do it a major injustice—the food was not only very fresh and reasonably priced, the presentation was great. Our table of 4 had three different meals and appetizers: the covert, wings and nachos all received rave reviews from our crew. The homemade lasagne was delicious and the serving was quite generous. I had the chicken kebab with the mixed vegetable side—HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Not only was the presentation of the hanging kebab with the flame spectacular, the taste was top notch. There was also live entertainment while we were there—the singer was also quite good. We will definitely repeat this dining experience while we are in Albufeira!“

“I always look forward to a pizza treat from Julianos, from the tantalising menu to the tastiest food, served with a warm smile .

Parking: Although street parking is free, there aren't usually many spaces available due to residential needs“

“The food was super delicious! Service very very nice! Ambience completely ok. Unfortunately, the garbage containers were just being emptied. It wasn't a good match for the meal, but the owner can't do anything about that. Otherwise everything was great!!!“

“Small restaurant that doesn't look like much but the food is INCREDIBLE lol, magnificent pizzas, very fine pasta and the adorable cook! My husband had a kebab box and was not disappointed either, especially by the delicious chef's sauce. Certainly it's not a gastro but very nice, open late and delicious food! We highly recommend this place! ??Cozinha muito boa et cozihneiro muito simpatico! Lugar simples mas nao pode ser "desapoited" pelo gosto e preços baratos.Everything you need to make this delicious!“

“Gewoon binnengelopen, oftewel eerst kloppen dan doen ze open. Erg goede optie om te etenVan binnen ziet het er prina uit, niet fancy, maar daar betaal je ook niet voor. Gewoon prima degelijk, maar wel netjes.De service was geweldig. Je kon een praatje met hem maken, hij was eerlijk over de gerechten en welke wel aan te bevelen.We haddenLasagna:1 woord WOW. Zo lekker, vers en ook een behoorlijke portie. Echt een topper.Brood met kaas en knoflook:om te delen. Groot genoeg voor 2 a 3 personen om als voorafje te delen. Ook echt een aanrader. Maar niet als je daarna in gesprek moet ?.Pizza'sHeb maar 1 foto maar we hadden er drie. A.u.b denk goed na voordat je besteld. Alles is goed geprijsd, goedkoop zelfs, daardoor denk je dat het geen grote porties zijn.Had naast mijn lasagna nog een pizza met bacon, ui en kaas besteld. Na 1 slice zat ik vol. Kwam door die lasagna natuurlijk. Maar het zijn grote pizza's makkelijk een large van de bekende ketens in NL.Prijs?Naar Nederlandse begrippen super goedkoop.6 drankjes3 grote pizza1 grote lasagnaVoorafjeNog geen 65 euro.

Vegetarian options: Ze hebben wel vegetarische opties, daarnaast denken ze goed mee als je iets niet wil, of net anders wil.

Dietary restrictions: Ze denken heel goed mee. Mag je iets niet, wil je iets niet, er is altijd een optie. En de kaart is zo uitgebreid, er is altijd wel iets.“

“We came in 9 people. The report is a summary of the 9 people. Nice service, ok food. Clean environment and in the center of Carvoeiro. One thing I didn't like was the Coca Cola they serve in a glass. They say they buy the one liter one but only serve the glass when asked (3.50 euros).“

“Amazing place! A long wait for a table this evening but it was well worth the wait and speaks of an excellent reputation! The menu was varied and the food was amazing. The staff were very friendly and we were very well looked after. Dessert and cocktails were excellent also and everything came in at incredibly good value. Service was outstanding. The best dining experience of our holiday so far without a doubt! Thank you.“

“Excellent pizzeria for a dinner with friends or family, very thin dough, just like you should do for a pizza.
I liked it.
I recommend.

You cannot enter in a swimsuit, shorts or skirt without a shirt/vest.
They have a terrace.

Excellent pizza place for a dinner with friends or family, well finished, as it should be for a pizza.
Eu gostei.
I recommend it.
You can't get into the shape of a banho or bikini or shorts without a shirt or t-shirt without a blouse.
Têm esplanada.“

“We had a lovely meal here, the place was nearly empty when we first arrived which always makes me slightly nervous but I didn’t need to be. The guy taking our order was very attentive and friendly and the food was delicious. We had the bruschetta and prawn cocktail to start and My husband ordered the T-bone steak which was cooked to perfection, he likes his steak rare and most places find it hard to get this right but La BreZza served it perfectly. I had a pizza which was on a lovely thin base and very delicious. The place had got busy by the time we had left. Would definitely recommend this place for a nice meal out with good food at a decent price.“

“I went to restaurant bailot yesterday evening

Service there is super amazing
Staff that work there are very kind generous lovely caring
This place gets 5 out of 5 star rating
Enjoy reading my first review
Thanks for my making my yesterday evening’s experience so lovely and wonderful and amazing and super good“

“To be honest this wasn't our first choice for lunch but it was nice and quiet, with plenty of space outside. We each ordered a drink and pizza, which came to €32.. so it's quite overpriced but at least you can see the pizza was freshly cooked in the pizza oven outside.

Kid-friendliness: Basic baby changing unit. Plenty of space for the buggy“

“Too bad about the propper for the terrace. This restaurant doesn't need that. We had a very tasty meal here. Upon request we had a calzone without meat and a fantastic marinara (fish) pizza. Nice price-quality ratio. Nice staff, highly recommended in my opinion.“

“This is the best place to eat in Albufeira, we are two Irish girls and they made us feel so welcome. The food is amazing and the drinks(cocktails) are the best. The prices are nothing compared to the taste and high quantity food. The servers are absolutely spectacular especially Rabin he is the best. WE LOVE YOU RABIN. Ellen and Ellamay ❤️“

“My salvation after a long day at work! Doner and durum kebab always made with fresh ingredients. The salad display always looks like freshly cut vegetables. The staff may not speak Portuguese, but with a little English you can communicate well. I've been coming to eat kebabs at this establishment since the opening of the place and I have nothing to say.“

“All perfect.
I understand that people make more reviews when they leave a site unhappy than when everything is good.

In my case I have to say that everything was fine. The food was served to us in about 30 minutes. The amount was more than correct. The treatment of the waiters was good.
We also had a great time with the karaoke next door.
In our case it has been a good experience.“

“We ate here as a family on a Saturday night and were surprised to find the restaurant had no other diners at the time we arrived, and only one or two came in during our time there. Having passed by on other evenings during our week, this seems to be consistent as we almost never saw more than a few people eating here, despite it having a prime spot in a touristy area.We found the service to be quick and polite, although the waitress was less attentive after our table had been cleared, so it took some time to get the bill.The menu is very extensive, which could be why the place is less popular as this often suggests lower quality. As two of us were vegetarians, we were appreciative that there were a number of options available for us as this is less common in Portugal.The food came quickly and was tasty, so we had no complaints there ourselves. The prices were also very reasonable for the portions.We would recommend this for the traveller on a budget who still wants to eat out and enjoy some Italian comfort food, and also as a great option for vegetarians looking a bit more choice!“

“We came across the small corner restaurant by chance while strolling through Albufeira. The map and the friendly staff immediately made us want to stay. There are a few places in the pedestrian zone, in the inner area and on the roof terrace. From the roof terrace you have a very nice view over the city and the adjacent beach. The service was great, our pizzas came quite quickly despite the many guests and tasted very good. Although we only ordered a "small" pizza, the size was completely sufficient for lunch. The ambience was also very appealing and all the food was freshly prepared. Communication with the waiters works easily in English. We really liked it here and would come back here again on another visit to Albufeira.“

“Pleasant staff, they capture customers in your language and when we entered the bar it was a little difficult for us to communicate with the waiters. Very good food . Fast service . Medium-high price, we thought the price of water was a little excessive, €4 for a 1.5L bottle.“

“Very impressed with this local restaurant. Welcoming staff, good quality fresh food served with a smile. The pizzas are tasty and fresh. The grilled chicken skewers kebabs also recommended. They were very accommodating and a friendly relaxed place to take young children. Definitely recommended if you want Italian food in the Carvoeiro area.“
