30 Best Italian Restaurants near Santa Maria Da Feira

“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.“

“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!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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.“

“(Translated by Google) Good restaurant to eat a good pizza and not just because they serve other dishes, daily service.Very good price quality, with excellent service and a very pleasant atmosphere. A place that I highly recommend.(Original)Bom restaurante para comer uma boa pizza e não só porque servem outros pratos, serviço de diárias.Preço qualidade muito boa, com um atendimento excelente e um ambiente muito agradável. Um sítio que recomendo vivamente.“

“A far cry from the good old days of the old management.Dirty glasses, dirty cutlery, dirty wine bottle, dirty furniture... a raw potato lost in the middle of a plate of pasta?????Very poor service.Lack of seasoning in the food.I won't be back for sure.It was already good.Not today.“

“Good atmosphere, attentive staff. Everything was very good: salads, pastas and desserts.

Kid-friendliness: I don't think there are high chairs. There is no children's menu and the menu will not be best suited for young children.

Wheelchair accessibility: It is not accessible.“

“Very good, the best nails available.
The combination between brie cheese and pineapple is great.
The nail biter is great.
It's a great place when you want to eat something really good and different.
I highly recommend it.“

“We love this place for great food with fair portions, but not too big and very balanced flavors. Fresh ingredients and timely service. They are open all day until 7 pm, which we love for a late lunch or early dinner. That is hard to find in Espinho. Light Italian inspired“

“Absolutely stunning pizzeria, some of the kindest staff I have come across and their pizza is excellent. I have now come to eat here on multiple occasions in my visit simply because the atmosphere is unmatched. They are also super accommodating.“

“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.“

“I lived in Switzerland for many years and ate kebab almost every weekend and I can say that the taste of King Kebab in São João da Madeira is the best I've ever eaten in Portugal. The meat is tender and tasty. The staff is super about everything with the children, they are attentive to requests. I love it, I hope it stays for a long time. As long as they serve, I will be a customer. Long live King Kebab“

“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“

“A great surprise in São João da Madeira, you leave this restaurant with your expectations more than exceeded.

We were received in a very welcoming and careful way by the staff, the starters and pizzas are incredible, you could feel the affection, the freshness of the food and the quality with each bite we took.

I recommend anyone who is a big fan of cheese to try the Ouro Sobre Azul pizza, it was by far the best cheese pizza I've ever eaten.

But, for those with a sweet tooth, the desserts are not at all behind the excellent pizzas and starters, I tried Pedra no Sapato and until now I'm looking for words to define it because honestly there aren't any, they are phenomenal desserts and a completely out of the box set. of flavors that make all the distinction between each other.

A Pizzeria to return to and recommend without a shadow of a doubt.

Grateful for all the care and hospitality involved during our meal, it made an incredible difference!“

“(Translated by Google) Very good Italian restaurant in Porugal! Very good pastas and €8 plus drink! If you go through Sao Joao da Madeira it is worth going to eat some good pasta.(Original)Muy buen restaurante italiano en Porugal! Muy buenas pastas y a €8 más bebida! Si pasas por Sao Joao da Madeira vale la pena ir a comer unas buenas pastas.“

“Good atmosphere.
Good quality food at prices compatible with Portuguese possibilities.
Possibility to eat outdoors, in a calm garden.

Vegetarian options: Wholemeal noodles, several pizzas, plus one or another option“

“A cute place right in front of Aguda beach. The ‘outdoor’ seating area is really cozy, perfect for a chill lunch with friends or family. We started with some (very cheesy!) garlic bread, and moved on to tagliatelle alla bollognese and a capriciosa. The pizza was nice, but the fresh pasta was definitely the star of the show! Overall, a nice place, with friendly service and good food. It’s maybe just a tad overpriced for the portion size…“

“Had a lovely experience here today. The service was really quick, and our waiter was lovely - really kind to the kids and helpful. The pizza was good quality, too, and had a Mickey Mouse smaller option for kids. Had some great passion fruit sangria.. Great lunch for a summer's day!“

“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...“

“(Translated by Google) Good service and friendliness. Dishes into account. I recommend. Very good grilled squid, maybe they were caught right on that coast... they had a little sand. But nothing out of this world, very good.(Original)Bom atendimento, e simpatia. Pratos em conta. Recomendo. Lulas grelhas muito boas, se calhar, foram apanhadas mesmo nessa costa...tinham um pouco de areia. Mas nada do outro mundo, muito boas.“

“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.“

“(Translated by Google) It's welcoming, good service, everyone is friendly, it has a good atmosphere with some tasty cakes ???? I recommend there and now they also have the francesinha on Fridays, come by ????????????(Original)É acolhedor bom atendimento são todos simpáticos tem um bom ambiente com uns bolos saborosos ???? recomendo há e agora também tem a francesinha a sexta feira apareça????????????“

“Real comfy place to eat at. Will definetly come here again.The workers are really kind and helpfull.The food was amazing!+ the pizza had alot of igrendients and was full of flavours+ Francesinha was spicy and on point.+ passion fruit dessert was also very good dessert. This dessert also looks elegant“

“I heard Bella Donna on my pilgrimage. They were very friendly and served me naan, which I enjoyed. Also, the risagna was very tasty. Before I leave, the staff even put cool water in my bucket, so I think it will remain as a really good memory. Thank you so much again ❤️❤️“

“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“

“We went there 3 times during our vacation. The service can be quite slow and sometime the staff appears a little cold, but they always have been helpful. Amilcar specially is very friendly and always makes sure we are enjoying our dinner and food.
One big issue is the AC - the wood oven makes the place SO hot and we can see the AC systems are broken. Such a pity for a beautiful location with Seaview and nice pizzas!“

“We ordered garlic bread with cheese and a shrimp and ham pizza.
Perhaps one of the best places in terms of quality and price.
The regular pizza is huge, enough for two people.
There is a wide variety of pizzas and more.“

“The atmosphere is great, the service, at least when I go there, is top notch, friendly staff but the burgers weren't what they used to be... they leave a lot to be desired, I think the quality of the products has gone down a lot, I remember that I used to eat one and I wanted to eat another Now, as one, I always feel sick, the taste of the meat and cheese leaves a lot to be desired, I go there because of my daughter and she says that my burgers are better ?“
