We visited this restaurant because of all the positive reviews and it was worth it! Their garlic bread specialty is very tasteful. The pizzas are quite large and taste good, they are made in an authentic stone oven. The crust is perfect and there is not too much dough in the middle. The glasses of wine are very full. The personnel was very friendly and the prices are indeed very reasonable. If you are ever in the neighbourhood this restaurant is definitely worth a visit!

During our 5 week stay in Calheta, we had pizza from this spot at least once a week. Both take out and dine in.
The pizza dough is well made and tasty. Because the crust is thin, I was able to eat an entire pizza to myself without feeling bloated afterwards. The ingredients are fresh and there are a variety of options for you to choose from.
The staff were prompt and friendly. There was always at least one English speaking staff on duty. Service was fast (less than 10 minutes to cook my take out pizza, when the restaurant was not crowded though).
If you are dining-in and have young children, there is a very simple play room inside with random toys and a play house. Our little guy really enjoyed it but don't expect too much!
Parking is limited to 5 spots so be prepare to have to park further down the road if you arrive at a busy time.

I really liked the atmosphere of the restaurant. Everything is very cozy, nice waiter. The food was very tasty, we ordered pizza with mushrooms, shrimp and chicken.

Unfortunately I don't understand why so many good reviews, but maybe we were just unlucky. After reading the pasta menu, we rejected them immediately - in pasta carbonara coriander, onion and ham? Really? So we chose a pizza that everyone praises here in comments and it was also a failure - not only that the Quattro formaggi did not contain the cheeses listed in the menu, but why prepare this pizza with cheddar? The second pizza with chicken was not bad but in sugo was a spice resembling curry or something like that. Whyyy?
One star is for the staff - and only for one nice waitress, the other young lady was obviously very bored and and one for the pizza dough, that was also quitte nice. But I would definitely not return.
Italy would invade Madeira if they know how good the pizza is here!
Located in the hills, midway from Calheta to Rabacal. Inside and outside patio seating that can accommodate larger groups. Great for kids because of the inside play area.
Our selection
Beverage*****Madeira sweet and Super Bock on tap
Salads***** are large, colorful and fresh added tuna.
Margarita Pizza***** Thin, baked to perfection and nice size for two! Anchovies were present!
Too bad the pizza cook had fallen ill, so the choice was somewhat limited. There was a timely warning though.
Portions could be bigger.
We had an slightly unpleasant experience with one of the dishes but it was handled perfectly by the friendly staff.

Good service but pizza was not at the same level (at least not comparable with an italian one) so don’t expect an italian pizza here
