Would definitely recommend this restaurant, it ticks all the boxes. The food was really good, the staff are friendly, the room is proof that, when done right, less is definitely more. The cocktails however were 5 star and worth going for on their own. Have at least one meal here per week, you won’t regret it.

Another visit to this landmark space in Alvor, whether for lunch or in our case for dinner. Space as the name suggests, with a typical Italian color, but with a super pleasant, careful decoration and very different from the typical Algarve restaurant. Very professional and friendly staff who contribute to the excellent atmosphere of the restaurant. We were there twice, the first time we ordered Pan Al Aglio Al Dente for starters and Risotto Al Funghi and Pappardelle Bolognese for mains, we didn't order dessert, just 2 coffees. The second time we ordered Pam Al Aglio and Formaggio for starters and for mains Lasagna Spinaci and Filleto di Salmone, we accompanied it with a passion fruit sparkling wine (top) and finished with a chocolate mousse. It's worth highlighting that both meals were fantastic (congratulations to the kitchen), the atmosphere was no less fantastic (congratulations to the staff) and it's these ingredients that make us come back again and again. We recommend your visit, we will definitely be back.

Our experience at this restaurant was, unfortunately, quite negative. From the beginning, the service proved to be disorganized, with employees running from one place to another, visibly confused and always too busy to come and collect our order. After about 25 minutes of sitting, I had to call an employee to take the order.

In particular, the employee who served us demonstrated an attitude of extreme arrogance. He barely seemed interested in hearing our order, he took the menus out of my hands before we could place our order and left without even asking for drinks. When he finally realized he was missing, he went back to ask about the drinks, but when he didn't understand my girlfriend's order (a Moscow Mule), instead of clarifying, he came back to the table minutes later to say that “you said it wrong”. Even if she had, in fact, made a mistake, this is no way to treat a customer.

The food, although acceptable, did not justify the price or the inconvenience we faced. We couldn't even order dessert. It should be noted that some employees were friendly and the atmosphere of the place was pleasant, but unfortunately this did not make up for the disastrous overall experience.

The culmination of our dissatisfaction was the waiting time for the bill, around 20-30 minutes, due to another table making a complaint. Clearly, we weren't the only dissatisfied customers that night. The invoice was only delivered after I stood up and asked explicitly, while two employees argued among themselves, completely ignoring me.

In short, the experience was so negative that it will certainly not be repeated.

Italian restaurant with pleasant dining space and good atmosphere, mostly frequented by foreign tourists. It is best to reserve a table for dinner.
