👍👍 Small restaurant but with excellent polite staff and clearly a good chef. ‘Abel’ our waiter was courteous and very well trained, explained the different dishes, how they were prepared and cooked and politely suggested the alternative ways of serving such dishes. The food was excellent and delicious... People often mention service, delicious, restaurant, recommend, Abel, experience,

    Small restaurant but with excellent polite staff and clearly a good chef. ‘Abel’ our waiter was courteous and very well trained, explained the different dishes, how they were prepared and cooked and politely suggested the alternative ways of serving such dishes. The food was excellent and delicious! Very reasonably priced - would highly recommend.

    Absolute crown jewel to our Portugal trip! The food was phenomenal, I highly recommended the prawns in garlic butter sauce, peppers and filet mignon (crispy on the outside, juicy and buttery on the inside) My friend also swears by the bruschetta. The service was awesome, all servers were very friendly and helpful :) Also A++ on the beautiful seaside view.

    Delicious food. Wonderful and prompt service. The goat cheese starter was absolutely delicious and all of our seafood was cooked and prepared perfectly! It was a fantastic moderately priced restaurant, especially for the area! Would absolutely recommend

    A must go. The black seafood rice is delicious. The Galician octopus with potatoes is not worth your money though. They always have a menu of the day with fresh tapas that are of very high quality. During the warmer climate, try to book a table outside, which will make the whole experience much more enjoyable.

    This restaurant was a genuine delight and a diamond, not in the “rough”, but in a “tiara” of other spectacular restaurants in the Marina, but this one out shone out over the rest. Paulo the waiter greeted us warmly and gave honest recommendations for food and wine that helped us choose a mix, with Paulo even giving the view that we had enough as adding one dish too many would be too much. He turned out to be absolutely correct: the goat cheese we had to start was sublime (chosen thanks to a previous reviewer) and the squid with a tomato and garlic sauce which Paulo recommended as a “specialty of the day’ went perfectly with the Asian-style tuna we had which came with “al dente” mixed vegetables marinaded in a beautiful soy sauce with ginger. I would recommend the restaurant to anyone.

    Very nice food, much better than you could expect by the looks of this little restaurant lost in the middle of many others. Staff is also very friendly and willing to help you decide what you are going to eat. One problem, though: the menu is very limited , so after a couple of times, you don't feel like returning.... and the paper napkins are not pleasant at all.

    Actually the food what I oredered was very nice. But there were some issues what I would not like to leave without saying. First the lady mixed our order so we got white sangria instead of the red what we oredered. We asked her to change it because we only like the red one… She wasn’t even saying sorry for it. After that they mixed my friends order and they did the same attitude. In normal restaurants they are offering a free desert if they making a mistake. Or not letting the costumer pay for it. But here they weren’t even said sorry. And at the end they acted like they forget about us, so we had to wait 30-40minutes for our bill!

    Visited here recently with my mum, following a recommendation from someone at our hotel. So pleased we went! The food was delicious, the prawn entree was so mouthwatering I soaked up the sauce with bread and the scallop crepe was so deliciously indulgent. To top it off, the team at the restaurant and so lovely and attentive. A must dine experience when in town!

    My Wife, baby Daughter and I dined at Valerio where we were treated with the best service by Abel. Abel recommended the daily specials and the food was beautiful. I’d highly recommend dining at Valerio. Abel made our dining experience an 11/10. Thank you Glen, Emily and Remi

    The service was nice, but the food and drinks were different from what we ordered. At the meal we asked for pasta, first I ordered cream pasta instead of the pasta with cream I had ordered, I got oily noodles with prawns, then when I indicated that this was not what I had ordered they took the pasta back and the oily pasta were also rolled in cream. The result was not delicious, it was heavy, oily and mushy. The shrimp had not had their guts removed, so half the lunch was spent cleaning out the end product of the shrimp. I do not recommend this place, I was disgusted and very disappointed.

    Very interesting menu, especially the small plates. We had six of them and they were all creative and delicious.

    Lovely owners make a lovely restaurant. Anyone who gives this place a bad review has a hard, cold, stone heart. The inside is small and a bit strip-mall, but who cares. The place obviously lives for the 20 or so outside water-view tables when it's sunny and warm (which it was not when I was there). But the seafood is fresh, the cooking is spot on, and the owners CARE. Eat what they recommend as fresh and you will be happy, unless you have a stone cold heart, in which case, please just stay home. 😉

    The food was amazing and so was the service. Loved it so much we came back the next day for lunch! They also serve the best Sangria we had all holiday!

    We discovered Valério while visiting Cascais and we were well received. the servers were really nice and they speak English so there was no problem of communication, she was able to give us good advice on what meal to choose. The advice for the wine was also great. The food was really good. We had a bit of everything, from fish to meat and everything was well cooked. The price is reasonable, we had starters, wine, soft drinks, the main course, deserts and coffee and paid 35€/person. Overall we had a really good experience, I recommend!

    Average experience. I didn’t like the “posh” vibe, olives and bread were brought but not for free (in other restaurants they brought it for free and dishes were maybe a bit more expensive), baby seat was dirty, we had belly ache after eating prawns. But waitresses were very kind and food tasty.

    A hidden gem. Very delicious food and super friendly staff! Much better than you could expect by the looks of this tiny restaurant lost in the middle of many others. No matter if you are hungry or just feel like a coffee with a dessert or both :) do not hesitate to pass by!

  • 5/5 carley k. 1 year ago on Google
    A hidden gem that no one had told us about we fortunately stumbled upon by chance. Excellent service and hospitality- especially our waiter Abel who also made some great recommendations on places to visit. Food super fresh and tasty and no wait time for it to come. Prompt and delicious. Ordered Abel’s recommendations and could not go wrong. This place is not about the setting as it’s in a tiny space but it’s always full of foodie people who clearly know what lovely food is and also very well priced. Thanks to you all at Valerio 🙏🏼

  • 5/5 Toni K. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic tasty food 😋...we ate here on our last night in Portugal, we looked at reviews and chose it... the reviews weren't wrong, so tasty! For starters we had cocktails and the baby squid calamari - delicious. Entrees I had jumbo shrimp yellow curry dish. and he had grilled tuna steak. We finished with desserts and a bottle of wine. Total €60 EU.

    All staff in this pace is extremely friendly but Cacao is extraordinary. The food is great, the space is very nice but what really made our experience was the super friendly host Cacao!!

  • 3/5 Cassandra S. 1 year ago on Google
    This place was only OK, apart from the location and service which were great. I was neither impressed nor disappointed by the food. If someone suggested going here again, I’d probably pass and opt for dining at one of the other locations on the bay.

    Delicious food, well priced and a brilliant view of the marina. We had lovely service by Kakau, who looked after us throughout our meal! 5-stars would recommend this restaurant for a great meal.

😐 So, firstly, the food here was very good! The starters were very tasty and huge portions (so beware unless you're really hungry), and the pizzas we had were delicious. And if you have a table by the window facing the sea, the view is lovely. However... overall experience was soured by poor service....

👍👍 Perfection. Spider crab was very well cooked, and was cut and set to eat with least effort. Steamed octopus was so tender and seafood rice had rich taste. And all the foods went so well with green wine. Wish I could visit again.
