Italian food restaurant with well prepared and very tasty meals. The desserts are carefully presented. Currently, the prices charged by the restaurant have risen significantly. It is no longer one of the first options as an Italian food restaurant because it has lost the attractive quality/price ratio that previously characterized it.
Parking: Parking is below the restaurant, in a kind of garage facing the street and there are few spaces.

An incomprehensible waiting time for the dishes. Frozen baguette bruschetta. Italian dishes whose mix of ingredients is far from traditional Italian. Not to be repeated.

Restaurant very well located in the Matosinhos area, with private indoor parking. The space itself is very welcoming and well decorated, with an atmosphere that takes us back to our Italian roots. As for dinner, I ordered a spaghetti ala carbonara with grana padano cheese and my wife a lasagna, both were very good, especially the show they put on in front of us preparing the carbonara... we also ordered a shrimp pizza recommended by the staff at the restaurant which was also very good. To finish we ordered a shortcake for dessert and it was divine. My congratulations to the staff for their friendliness and attentiveness. I will definitely come back whenever I want to eat Italian again.

Well located restaurant, very beautiful and very comfortable! We ordered lasagna and spaghetti ala carbonara with grana padano cheese and it was divine. We also ordered a pizza box to try because we had never had shrimp pizza and it was undoubtedly a great choice. The desserts are the icing on the cake…divine ? 5 stars to the staff for their service. An experience to repeat ⭐️

I've been going to this restaurant for many years, I always praise it and I'm always happy with the food and service. Today was an exception, really horrible! We were 13 people at 1:30 pm. We arrived several hours ago so we ended up ordering food only at 2:20 pm. The food took 1:30 hours to arrive at the table. Everything was good, but the spaghetti at Grana Padano (which I've eaten several times) was really bad, flavorless, bland and just tasting like liquid cream. It didn't even taste like cheese! After the main dishes we only ordered 2 desserts, shortcake and tiramisu. It took 25 minutes to arrive, 2 desserts. When it arrived we complained and said that it took a long time, to which the girl said that everything was done on time and took longer, and we replied that they should at least let someone know so they can have the choice of waiting all that time or not. In the end, after 3 hours, tired of all the waiting and hassle, they didn't even have the decency during the whole lunch to go to the table to apologize or offer a coffee, absolutely nothing! I might still go back because I know it usually goes well, but everyone else at the table doesn't!

We've been waiting for dinner for two hours. I'll never set foot here again. And when it arrived, it was cold, without seasoning and they forgot the dinner from the person who paid the bill. Shameful.

The food was pleasant, but needed a little more flavor. The delicious panna cotta! The service leaves something to be desired, we had to confirm the dishes because we are sure they forgot one, which then made the waiting time long and long. We ordered desserts and waited for more than 30 minutes... Gin... They confirmed again and forgot one of them! They don't understand the requests and out of shame they don't confirm them... In some ways, more than 2h30 for dinner and drinks. Paying was faster!!!!! Despite everything, the staff is very friendly.

Box 208 Italian Food in Matosinhos is an unparalleled Italian gastronomic experience. With excellent service and excellent food, this restaurant deserves all five stars. The real difference, however, is the exceptional service from manager Patrícia, whose hospitality and attention to detail elevate the experience to a higher level, being the soul of the house. Patrícia and her collaborators ensure that each client feels special and well looked after. I highly recommend this establishment for anyone wanting a memorable meal in Matosinhos.
