Mediterranean cuisine restaurants Praia

Gianfranco, the Italian (and French-speaking) manager is a great local figure, and is very friendly, perhaps this explains in part why his restaurant is so popular. The environment is pleasant and you can eat good pizzas on the terrace, cooked in front of your eyes, with evocative names (Di nôs Terra, Fogo, etc.) The rest of the menu is purely traditional: pasta, antipasti... without forgetting a wide and beautiful selection of wines to accompany everything, Italian style.

You can feel the passion for good food as soon as you enter this restaurant. And you come out satisfied: by the quality of the dishes, on the one hand, and the cordial and warm service, on the other hand. So much so that one would almost adopt it as a canteen, the time of a stay. Meat lovers will be delighted by the succulence of the grilled meats, served on the spit, churrasco style. But we don't forget the richness of the sea that surrounds us and what it has to offer: octopus in Lagareiro and bacalhau with a Portuguese touch, all washed down with good wines.

"Impossible to think well or sleep well if you've eaten badly" is the credo of this restaurant, which doesn't want to belie the adage. The menu is punctuated by Italian cuisine, as the name suggests: some thirty different wood-fired pizzas (including the spicy Demoniaca), focaccia, carpaccio, gnocchi, risotto, bruschetta... the names alone speak of the land of the boot. A quick visit just to enjoy the view? Don't worry, cocktails are also a big part of the menu.
