We visited Vila Mar Restaurant in July, during our holiday in Vila Nova de Gaia. The food is delicious, the service is great (very friendly staff) and the whole atmosphere in the restaurant is very nice. If you go there, it's must to try the Tiramisu with strawberries. You won't forget it! :)

After a full day exploring we were exhausted and looked for something close by. The pizza, salad, and staff were all wonderful. It was exactly what we were looking for.

D. Gancho Restaurante Pizzaria

Reviewed By Claudia D

My husband and I dined at Gancho on a Thursday evening. What a delight! We enjoyed excellent vinho Tinto, "Cortes de Cima" Alentejano 2013. The awesome garlic bread was actually a mini pizza- so yummy! The servers, Henry and Luis were attentive and kind. We shared Rigatoni Bolonegese and a Tiramisu. Tasty! We will definitely return to try other entrees as well.

A Despensa

Italian restaurant with a spanish influence with passion and curiosity for all the world great dishes.. A place with a warm atmosphere and a unique concept

Reviewed By katiesR5678TL

The second we stepped in the door we were impressed with the fantastic service - the owner ran up the street to return a diner’s forgotten umbrella, then seated us without a reservation, no problem! After the wonderful dishes and genuine, caring and knowledgeable service, we were so impressed and hope to come back in a few nights. Get the house salad, the veal with pepper cream sauce, and carbonara - highly recommend. Can’t decide which was better: the food or the service!
