We were so pleased to find this restaurant. The pizzas are cooked in full view in a traditional pizza oven and they are absolutely delicious. Theyâre a good size too and the base and crust are perfect. Service is very friendly and efficient. I would not hesitate to return and can confidently recommend this restaurant to anyone who appreciates a good pizza.

The second we stepped in the door we were impressed with the fantastic service - the owner ran up the street to return a dinerâs 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. Canât decide which was better: the food or the service!

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! :)

We looked this place up and wandered to it from our apartment. Was a Sunday night, a few other couples in, great waiter service-efficient and helped us through the menu that was in Portugese. Great thin and huge pizza, lovely bottle of Italian white wine, all for just over 20 Euros. Not in heart of town but worth finding.
