“I ordered the pizza of the day with 3 ingredients and it was great. The pasta was perfectly flavored and well prepared. The price also does the talking. A daily menu for €6.50. Something that is not practiced at the moment. I highly recommend the experience.“

“We've visited La Carbonara three times during our visit of Madeira because this is a great restaurant with good food. The atmosphere is great, staff is quick and friendly. All adults get the local drink poncha as a appetizer and you can get some fresh pepper with whatever you order.“

“I suspect they make a living from delivery. The tables are nicely set, but the wine glasses were cleared away before we even ordered…The mixed salad for 6.50 surprised me positively, it was quite large and I could season it myself. The medium pizza has a thicker dough than the small one. Overall ok, but nothing more. Waiter rather passive.

Wheelchair accessibility: ramp“

“Als Vorspeise hatten wir Bruschetta und waren begeistert, dass wir eine art Baguette bekamen was selbstgemacht aussah mit Spinat und das traditionelle Bruschetta in nichts nachstand. Auch die Pizza war Mega lecker. Fluffiger Rand aber kein Veganer Käse Updated from previous review on 2024-09-19“

“All the food we received was fantastic, we got generous portions for very friendly prices. The service was very nice and frienly. This was one of the best restaurants that we have visited in Madeira during our one-week trip. I recommend this place to everyone.“

“EVERYTHING IS PERFECT !
The staff is incredibly friendly, the service is perfect, and the dishes are delicious!
An address to remember when we return to Madeira for the holidays. It’s the best restaurant we’ve eaten in, and their chocolate fondant is the best in France or Portugal ♥️“

“Most delicious Italian food I've ever eaten. Huge portions at a great price. Really enjoyed the fact that they offer a half large pizza along with a large salad that was more than just lettuce and tomato. Delicious sangria and smooth creamy Gelato. Will definitely be back.“

“X5 vegetarian options. Great food. Nice staff. Great value“

“We ate very delicious food here. To set the mood, try the ham/cheese selection from the starters. A truly heavenly taste experience! The main dishes are very delicious, it's atmospheric that you can half see how the food is prepared. It is no coincidence that there are many people here, there are hardly any free tables, but if you find one, don't miss it. The staff was also very nice.“

“Good place to stop by at lunch/dinner for a reasonable price! When ordering pizza you can choose from three sizes (I picked the medium one and it was big enough that I wasn’t able to finish it so if you are not that hungry take the small one which starts at around 7€ which is really great price!) We also tried the steak which comes with rice, fries and salad and tastes good as well. Except from that they have some salads, pasta, fishes, meat, etc. It is easy to park there and you can sit outside or inside. I recommend this place. :)“

“It was very nice to sit on the restaurant terrace, great interior too. I liked the pizza with tofu “cheese” (although I’m not a fan of cheese alternatives and would order a pizza without cheese next time) and really loved the nice soy milk cappuccino.“

“Best steak ? I've ever had in my life ?
Me and my wife went there on a day trip to Funchal. The place was recommended to me by Dinarte from "Madeira Inside out" (by the way, it's the best company to book yourself on an amazing day 4x4 tour).
And man this place delivers, the staff are so friendly and attentive, it's so relaxing to eat there and the meat... that meat was something out of this world. It was a melt in your mouths steak on a red hot stone, so you can cook it yourself to your liking. It's a true interactive dinner for me, mind blown big time.
Let's put it this way: if I lived in Madeira, I'd have that steak for my dinner every day.
Well done, well done. And thank you Dinarte for telling me about this place, it truly made my day that :)“

“Do not judge the appearance of this place! It kind of looks like a travel agency at a mall in the US at first glance - but the food is exceptional and the service was perfect! We got garlic bread, mussels and seafood spaghetti for one - split bc it is huge. It was perfect! One of the best meals here!“

“Loved their tasty Carbonara and the Poncha. Despite the language barrier, the server went out of her way to ensure my meal was satisfactory. She was very timely in checking with me and knew just when to clear plates and ask if coffee was needed.I can't speak to the interior of the restaurant as I sat in their outdoor patio. The patio was well spaced allowing movement back out into the sidewalk. Many are crowded so that you can barely pull back your chair. Highly recommend.“

“Came across this great little family run restaurant on our first walk into Funchal today. Mum is the principal chef and her sons front the restaurant. The food was beautifully prepared and presented, made with fresh ingredients and cooked to perfection. The service was great and we can't recommend it highly enough.“

“Great selection of different Italian dishes. We particularly liked the fact that you can order “mini pizzas” and half pizzas with salad if you’re slightly hungry. Deduction for the ambience due to the location. The waiter was very attentive and polite, but unfortunately spoke little English, which made the ordering process a bit complicated. Great pizza - great value for money! We will be back.“

“We are so happy to have discovered this location near us (outside the city center). Simply fantastic. Super tasty, fresh food (e.g. spaghetti Bolognese and penne). Great prices and nice location. I think the positive reviews speak for themselves. We'll definitely come by again.“

“Sehr gute Essen. Cod a Bras, Bruschetta aber vorallem die Pizzen. Alles scheint frisch gemacht zu werden und schmeckt sehr gut. Die Kellner sind auch sehr nett. Location könnte ausgebaut werden, aber ist OK. Scheint ein eher neueres Lokal zu sein in der Stadt, dass bald fertiggestellt wird. Sehr zu empfehlen, vorallem für Besucher von nahegelegenen Hotels.“

“Dinner at Lume Pizza has been unforgettable. The simple pizza Margherita is one of the best pizzas napoletana my friends and I have ever eaten (and we had lots in Naples last year). We loved it so much we went to Lume three times during our stay. Highly recommend if you like pizza napoletana :)“

“We were visiting this pizzeria on our first day in Funchal. We came to the place a tiny bit before the opening time and friendly staff allowed us to sit already and look at their menu. We both ordered pizza and local beer. Pizzas was tasty and we finished them both. It deserves all the high grades.“

“Revelation! The place is inconspicuous from the outside. We ordered two bruschettas and a pizza. A rich appetizer, everything is delicious, fresh and aromatic. Decent serving time. A place with a homely atmosphere, a lot of guests during our visit - noisy, cheerful and joyful.“

“On our mini-moon to Madeira we booked our final meal to be at Villa Cipriani and it was a beautiful spot to enjoy.
Overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and sunset in Madeira was beautifully romantic and picture-esque.
The service from the team was exceptional from beginning to end. The food itself was exquisite and you could taste how fresh it was.
Highly recommend“

“We dressed for lunch - we sat at a table on the street. The pasta was well prepared, and the aroma whetted the appetite even more. The portions are enough to be 105% satisfied, but we made an effort as they had already told us about the tiramisu - in which the flavor of rum and cocoa was light, but the cream was creamier and fluffier - I really liked it. Definitely recommended!“

“Excellent autheniltic Tacos in a very nice food hall/ street food option dinning area. We went for opening time, food service was quick and the freshest tacos were just lovely! Recommend the pibil!! Honest excellent food

Kid-friendliness: Lovely staff!“

“We've been living in Madeira the past 10 years. Since moving here the competition have increased by leaps and bounds. Martucci is quite new among the "concept" restaurants in Madeira. Concept is where you pay a fix fee for all the courses and wine is included and normally quite good value for money. In our opinion Martucci rank in our top 3 "concept" restaurants with Ill Vivaldi and Mozart. The staff are friendly and attentive without being in the way. Food is excellent and done to perfection. I had one of my best steaks in Madeira here. We can highly recommend Martucci's for a new experience and if you have not tried the "concept" yet, this would be a good opportunity. Ps: the pizzeria area is separate and does not do the "concept" menu.

Ps: Update, we are now 15 years on the island. Still Martucci's is a firm favourite of ours and offers excellent value for money. We can highly recommend this restaurant.“

“My visit to Prova La Pasta was excellent! The variety of pasta options, sauces and ingredients left me enchanted.The pasta I chose was perfectly prepared and the sauce complemented it deliciously. The atmosphere of the restaurant is welcoming and the service was efficient and friendly. I can't wait to go back and try other dishes, I recommend it 100%“

“A food hall style place with multiple operators and bars.
We had Mexican and cider and beer.
But there was a lot of choice and a full cocktail menu.
They had the football on and it was a good atmosphere but then a very cheesy musician came on, we left after a few songs.“

“Everything is very delicious! We ordered a high seas pizza, barbecue chicken wings, and an espetada. The pizza was made with homemade dough, and the ingredients tasted very good. As for the wings and the espetada, the same, a lot of flavor and very delicious. Very affordable price.

Very friendly and pleasant service. They attended to us quickly and were very attentive to the questions we had.“

“Beautiful, well deserves the five star all around. Food is not only great, they are beautifully presented, as you can see from the photo. Outside is very casual if you want to enjoy the hustle and bustle of the town while you eat, the inside is very nice classy dining experiences

Staff are exceptionally helpful and friendly, they lent us a charger for my phone which was life saver (for my wife who as a result spared my life…)

Food was very delicate in taste not too strong but perfectly balanced.
We had the famous Scabbard fish lightly fried with tropical sauce (and fried banana) was just salty enough but not too salty. Of course if you like salty you could add.

Octopus risotto was also fantastic. Loved that each dish had flower decor.

We ordered apple crumble by recommendation, tbh I didn’t have such high expectations, because how good can you make an apple crumble right? But it was very very good even for a Brit.

Highly recommended, really Michelin class imo“

“The food is honest and well cooked, with big portions. The service is very good. The ambiance is one of a neighbourhood taverna - very lively, but might get too noisy at times.

Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian pizza and pasta

Kid-friendliness: The place is spacious and the menu has small portions' options.

Wheelchair accessibility: The entrance is at the sidewalk's level.“

“We wanted somewhere close from our hotel (Cliff Bay) to have dinner. This was a Monday evening and we walked in without a reservation and got a table no problem. The restaurant did get very busy as the evening went on. We had a Bruschetta starter, two main courses (Tuna Salad & a Cannelloni) , Tiramisu, bottle of water and half bottle of wine, with a tip came to 65 euros. Without doubt the best value meal we had in Funchal and the food was pretty good. The service was good and friendly and the atmosphere in there was very nice. I'd recommend it and would definitely go again.“

“The best Pizza by such a long shot that the service and atmosphere don’t matter. Been here twice and will certainly return soon. The small pizza is ‘not small’ and they don’t hide ingredients either. Best value for your money, do not pass the opportunity to experience it.“

“You have a direct view of the water and the food is good. Service can be a bit slow, but there are many tables and the restaurant is always busy.
It seemed like they were cooperating with the sushi place next door, but we haven’t tried that.“

“Wow as a foodie I have to say the meal tonight was unbelievably delicious!

The only down side was the initial service, we were shown to our table and left for several minutes with no attention and eventually had to call a member of staff over for a drink!
But they recovered well and the rest of the evening and service was great and we would highly recommend!“

“From the outer view I was at first not sure if the restaurant was actually open, but I tried. They have a good selection of Pizza and pasta on the menue, the prizes are rather cheap. I had an excellent Pizza, and the waiter/owner was extremely friendly.I can recommend this Restaurant if you look for good food at affordable prizes.

Parking: Ca 10 Parkplätze im Hof, Straße auch möglich“

“We ate one prego in bolo do caco and another in pizza dough, they are very tasty and the dough is excellent. Well served, "real" potatoes, nothing bagged or pre-fried. We didn't get to try the pizzas but we had good feedback about this restaurant. We tried the homemade pasta, but there is something missing to make it more appetizing, but in terms of portions, they are very well served.“
