17 Best Italian Restaurants near Ovar

“My first experience was terrible, horrible service with my friends and family. However, I gave myself the benefit of the doubt and came back and it was completely different. Never judge the part by the whole. Excellent place for socializing and dining.“

“When: 2023 to now (several times)
How much: always around €70-€90 (3 people)

Praceta is, without a doubt, one of my go-to restaurants when I miss a good pasta dish.
It has the elegant atmosphere of a ristorante, but the friendliness of a trattoria and staff always ready to help the most indecisive minds.
The pastas are, for me, the gold of the dish, along with the desserts, but the pizza is also good (although I'm not a fan of balsamic vinegar on pizza as a topping).
It fills up very quickly and doesn't take reservations, so I recommend either going early or bringing a book while you wait.

Parking: Before reaching Rua do Praceta there is a free car park that usually always has spaces available.“

“When everyone asks whether the important thing is the dough or the sauce, for us it's the space and yes, Pizzeria Dio Mio wins POINTS on this level. Family atmosphere, pleasant decor and exceptional service from the host, careful, elegant and contagious. He guided us with his suggestions for starters, all of which were perfect for our tastes. Then the orientation for the main dishes were the pizzas and as we were 3 couples each chose one and we shared, the 3 choices were top notch and were great. As for the drink suggestion, it was the passion fruit sangria and it was very good too. The kitchen was to be congratulated as everything was great. The staff is very professional and friendly, which helps with the experience. When it comes to desserts, we opted for the same system as pizzas, that is, each couple chose 1 and shared them, but it wasn't possible, they were too good to share. In other words, a fantastic evening, in an environment that leaves nothing behind, good company, all of us ingredients for success. A word of thanks to the host for the moment provided and we look forward to your return. We highly recommend the visit.“

“Good atmosphere to enjoy a beautiful meal!!! The employees are always attentive and have a pleasant smile that makes you want to never leave the restaurant!!! Very good food, I recommend the Francesinha made with pizza dough accompanied by a delicious champagne sangria!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We had several dishes mainly with seafood, what can I say? That was delicious !!!!! The dishes are carefully prepared, the welcome is warm and the chef welcomes you with a smile! It’s clear that he loves his job and he cooks with love! All the dishes are refined, careful, even the children's menu with chicken fillets and a homemade basil sauce that gives the chef's touch! Thank you for your cooking, it was a great discovery for our first meal in Portugal! You can go there with your eyes closed!
I wish this restaurant all the best and continued success! Thank you ?“

“What a great place! Dining on the ocean for spectacular sunset views, this family restaurant has amazing food and great prices. Wonderfully accommodating to my garlic allergy, the server was kind and i was able to enjoy a deliciously savory spaghetti pomodoro and local wine. So good I went two days in a row!

Vegetarian options: Spaghetti pomodoro Vegetarian lasagne“

“Without a doubt spectacular. I have no words to describe this establishment, excellent quality in all the dishes and then the service from the waiters and the management is perhaps one of the best factors for visiting this place and without a doubt one of the best gastronomic experiences I have had.“

“Yesterday, 08/07, I went to the pizzeria with some friends and family. We loved the pizzas and the space. Something sad happened at the end of the night, I went to the bathroom and while washing my hands I took the ring off my finger and ended up leaving it on the children's changing table. When I got home, I noticed that I was without the ring and remembered that I had left it there. I called early the next day and was answered by Mariana who said she would check with the employees to see if they had found anything yesterday. After 5 minutes, Mariana called me and confirmed that they had found my ring. I am very grateful for the dedication of employee Mariana.
Congratulations to the team too.“

“A fantastic pizza. A competent and friendly service. Between savory and sweet, they made some fabulous crepes.
The owner was very friendly and didn't skimp on quality.
Right next to Torreira beach, a good Italian restaurant.
The extended opening hours are excellent for those like me who don't have a specific time for a meal.“

“You can recommend it with a clear conscience ????
Very tasty food, staff very friendly and everything was very reasonably priced for the good quality ??

The restaurant is on one of the main streets and is therefore easy to find. There is also parking available ☺️

Keep it up, I’d love to do it again next time ☺️“

“It's very pleasant, the service is very friendly and the francesinhas in the wood-fired oven make you want to eat and cry for more with a spectacular sauce...
The pizzas just look at them leave your mouth watering, very well filled and the thin crust is spectacular....
To always return or take home...“

“Good meal but:
- very long
- pay attention to the supplements (Rillettes €4, olive €2, and watercressin €0.80) ask carefully for the prices because nothing is free
- just friendly staff
It took us 1h30 to eat paws
Not exceptional meal
Be careful of the spice
thanks again“
