    Amazing place to get some Delicious Italian food. Fresh and healthy salads. Amazing pizzas. The food isn't spicy and doesn't stuff you up like other food does. A must try when you visit Goa. *September 2023 edit- have to book beforehand to get a table. Food is still amazing and fresh, the cocktails were very good as well. Can't go wrong when you choose Goodfellas.

    I've been to Goodfellas four times now and every single time I've had a blast. The food is extraordinary and the service is top notch. The waiters are very friendly. The price of the food was worth every penny. (My fourth visit): It was my friend's birthday and he took us there to celebrate. The waiters noticed that and after my friend paid for the bill, they offered us complementary vodka shots (we're 19 years old don't worry). It was really sweet of them to do so. Really loved the gesture! Every time I've been to this place, I've made loads of memories. The only catch is that you'll struggle to find a parking spot if you're planning to visit by car. I would suggest you rather come by bike so it's easier to park.😁

    Lovely place. Excellent Italian fare. Superb music by Neville and Rousseau.. We didn't get a very comfortable seating, could have chosen better. Service is average. Very conveniently located with decent parking. A sweet gesture by the staff- a complimentary cheesecake for our anniversary. 😁

    A perfect place to have a cozy date or a small family outing. If you have a taste for italian food then this one will tick the check box. Well cooked pizza. Good choices of wines. Their Tiramisu is worth trying.

    Passed throught this place everyday while going to our hotel, finally went on sunday evening as it had live music. It was a lovely evening spent here with amazing vibe. The singer was amazing, food and service was also great. Pizza was really fresh and good. Definitely worth visiting if you are in or around Benaulim.

    I recently visited and was pleasantly surprised by the combination of delicious pizza and a fantastic environment. The pizza was simply outstanding, with a perfect crust and flavorful toppings. What truly stood out, though, was the wonderful ambiance. The cozy decor, lively music, and friendly staff created a warm and inviting atmosphere. It's the kind of place where you can enjoy not just a meal but a memorable experience. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a delightful atmosphere.

    We went for a dinner to GoodFellas(as suggested by a friend) while we were staying in Benaulim. Its hard to miss this place, its right on the crossroads however they can improve directions to their parking , we crossed this place twice to find the parking. Once you get in, its a perfect date place and has an amazing ambience. This has been one of the very few places in Goa which has the best waiting staff who are well versed with all the offerings on the menu. They have an extensive menu with great options for both veg/non veg, the food quality is over the top. A must go place if you’re in Benaulim 😊

    I had visited this place just today and I must say the food is yum. The portion size of the calzone with pork was proper. But the lasagne and pork ribs were a tad disappointing portion wise, but taste wise they were really good. Their Nutella ricotta cheesecake, was tasty too, but again portion can be a little more 😬 the ambience matched the theme and it was a really nice, dim lighted cozy restaurant with highly priced dishes!

    This place was on top of our list in Varca trip but we were disappointed. When we reached the hostess told us all tables are reserved(though many empty ones were there) kept telling us to try next day. We were willing to wait but she wouldn't give us a time. Then she accomodated us. If you go by reservation only mention in the google maps itself and say that to everyone. There is clear difference in treatment for casual toursit who visit this place for an experience against regulars/elite. Probably this should become a membership only restaurtant to avoid disappointing tourists like us visiting to have a good experience. Or have a smile talk to everyone. We all have stories to share and experiences to speak of. The place is cozy nice setup with great italian food. Do try the brinjal pizza.Car parking on the otherside of the resturant. Do make use road is too narrow otherwise. Pizzas are great all the stars are for that.

    One of the best restaurants near Benaulim. We enjoyed the nice ambiance with awesome live music. Kudos to the singer! Food was good and the staff was very helpful. They primarily serve Italian fare including pizza, pasta and starters. They can add more options to their wine collection but they have an okay list and we were happy with our merlot.

    Good vibe but bad food. We ordered pizzas and they literally had no favour of ANYTHING. We asked them for some marinara hoping it would probably make the food taste better. The server’s response was that there is NO MARINARA at the restaurant. How is an Italian restaurant running without marinara!?!? We finally did get some sauce that the server claimed that the chef had made. It was raw tomato purée with oregano in it. If you’re looking for a chill vibe in the area- this might be a good place but if you’re looking for Italian food that actually tastes good- DO NOT COME HERE.

    Delicious food and quick services. The pizza was so well cooked and the flavors were so well balanced. The #bruchetta mixed platter was delicious too, just that the bread was a bit too hard, slightly softer one would have made it easier and tastier to enjoy. Ordered orange juice and fresh lime soda too, both were fresh and refreshing. Must go place if you want great itallian food.

    Nice place, good ambience A little on the pricier side but if that's not too much of a concern then you should go here A lot of people don't know what Italian specials are (including us). The problem we had was that our server didn't really know what to recommend so we just ordered randomly off the menu The food was good overall. The ravioli portion could've been a heartier given its an Italian place and Italians are known for family size portions

  • 4/5 Sanket S. 2 years ago on Google
    Read good reviews about this place and wanted to have pizza visited this place. The pizza was served quickly and was delicious. Few tables had high chairs which I don't personally prefer. I read that the place gets full so you should make a reservation. So I called up the restaurant at 1945 hours and asked a table for 2 and the earliest they could have me was by 2100 as they mentioned the tables were full at that time, I hesitantly accepted. I thought I'll go to the beach and then swing by the restaurant. On the way,l to beach, I thought let's check if they have a table and could let us in. To my surprise the place had just one table occupied and all other reserved, even my reserved table for 2100 was empty while the time was just 2015 hours. Found this to be weird. Maybe they want to make sure everyone makes a reservation to get a table.

    One of the best wood-fired pizzas I ever had... Also the best part is, u can mix the toppings... For ex - My wife wanted a seafood pizza and I wanted a vegetarian one... so they made Half pizza as seafood one and the other half as veg one... apart from that, amazing experience and service... The host here is a very friendly and nice lady :)

    One of the best Italian restaurant in Goa. The pizzas are really good, baked in a wood fired oven with a perfect char on the edges of the crust. We also tried the calzone which was equally good. Most of the toppings put on the pizza are made in house. The staff is very polite and helpful, they have a hostess who greets every customer and helps you get the best dish as per your preference. Also the owner himself is present on site and helps the customers. They have a good parking space for 10 cars. We reached there at 7:00 PM and many tables were vacant, but the scene changed after 8:00 PM as it became fully occupied and there was an hour long waiting. I would suggest making a reservation before you arrive as you won't have to wait as this place is very popular

    By far the best pizza I have had in Goa. The firewood pizza has a unique textured. Staff's response was Swift. Nice ambiance. Highly recommended. Also get a reservation before visiting, I visited early (about 7pm), luckily, I got a table. But, most tables were reserved.

    Had been to Goodfellas after locating their name on the list of the best pizzas in the world (or something like that). The pizzas were delicious and the tiramisu was also spot on. The pesto bruschetta was a little too overloaded with the pesto paste. The ambience is serene and the service is warm. With almost everything in place, something still seemed amiss, probably the music or the insects as a result of the greenery. Hence, the one star less than perfect.

    The ambience is lovely for an evening out, nice open air seating with lights. It seems to be the kind of place that fills up fast, so be like us and make a reservation in advance! The wood fired pizzas are delicious, amazing crust and tasty sauce, toppings. The tiramisu is alright, nothing to write home about.

    In our recent Goa trip while staying in beaulim beach we visited this place. It was a fantastic experience. Pizzas that we ordered were outstanding served with soda. Service was really great and food got delivered very quickly. Ambience is great too and we were fortunate to attend live music which was outstanding too. Overall a great experience it was.. would definitely love to visit again..

  • 3/5 Tanay P. 7 months ago on Google • 16 reviews
    Food is usually good. Their Ravioli is a must try. Was very much disappointed with the oil given with the pizza. They said that it's olive oil, but it smelled nothing close to olive oil. It might have been palm oil. I poured that oil on pizza and ate it just to get my stomach upset. The bar is good and the drinks are amazing, I like going here for drinks. Although they do cost cutting while mixing the drinks. For example for Irish Coffee they used Blenders Pride as the whisky instead of Jameson's. Gin and Tonic cocktail, Limonchello and home made Spicy Rum are must try here.

    Had to wait to grab someone's attention for the bill so plan in some time for it before your next appointment. They have an adorable dog that kinda looks like Doby the house elf. Pricey in comparison to other options around, though you do get good Italian food there which you won't get so easily elsewhere

  • 5/5 atchi m. 1 year ago on Google
    I had an amazing food experience at Goodfellas. The place serves one of the best Italian cuisine in Goa. The goodfellas bruschetta had three different kinds of bruschetta which were all on point. The salads was tasty and the proportion was good for 3 people. The lasagna was melt in your mouth goooood! Highly recommended.

  • 4/5 Gautam G. 1 year ago on Google
    Good joint 👍🏼 The place has good music in the evening but as we had time only for lunch so we went there. Loved their Pizzas 😋 All desserts were delicious too! Definitely recommended 👍🏼

  • 2/5 Karthik P. 1 year ago on Google
    Didn't quite really enjoy the experience of the Italian Pizza, it was very bland, not spicy at all. Probably my taste buds. Nevertheless, good ambience, if you are going to visit at night, request you to choose a table a little away from the light since huge insects and bees are common visitors

  • 4/5 Renisha C. 1 year ago on Google
    The ambience and service of this place is 5/5. I've rarely seen such good hospitality. However I feel their food could have been more authentic in preparation, unless that's what they're going for. Nevertheless, I had a good time here.

  • 5/5 Bharat O. 1 year ago on Google
    Want Italian food in Goa then this is the place to go to. Staff are excellent, welcoming and accommodating. Very popular place to eat. The food was so good we went twice. Both times it was very busy but we got a table, suggest booking in advance.

  • 5/5 Eva 1 year ago on Google
    One of my favorite places in south Goa. The pizza here literally melts in your mouth. This place has such a chill vibe. The live music was amazing! From what we ordered: Mediterranean pizza 4.5/5 Salad 4.5/5 Panna cotta - 2.5/5

  • 5/5 Ashrujit P. 4 months ago on Google • 7 reviews
    One of the best pizzas you can get here, atleast I had. Went there twice on the same week. Just couldn't get enough of this place. Each & Every staff is like family members and Goodfellas feels like home whenever I visit. Relaxing, Calming, Great food & hospitality. Grazie mille!

  • 2/5 Admira F. 10 months ago on Google
    Had visited Goodfellas in June 2023 with a group of friends to try their Italian cuisine. The pizza were not authentic tasting and the toppings were mere. The lasagna was burnt. And the ravioli lacked stuffing. I would not recommend for Italian cuisine. Parking is very limited and difficult to find especially during weekends.

  • 5/5 Ashish S. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the highly rated place in benaulim and it stands upto the hype. The staff is very well versed with the menu and very receptive for any customisations. They have 2 dining sections but the particular that faces the bar is the one we liked. It had both regular chairs and high chair sitting setup of which later is the one for our liking. Also this section overlook the large wood fire oven where the chefs make the pizzas with the fresh dough The best part we liked was the make your own pizza with lots of topping options . The aglio olio spaghetti was made to our customisation. The are situated in one of the best location in the area.

  • 5/5 Preetilata 1 year ago on Google
    One of our favourite place to hang out and enjoy good Italian food and Wine in south goa. Amazing ambiance. Super nice staff. Live music. Outside seating surrounded by plants, smoking allowed. They use fresh ingredients. Their cheery tomatoes are to die for so don’t miss the cherry tomato bruschetta. Some gorgeous oven baked pizzas, and pastas are good too, esp the spinach ravioli pasta and basil pasta. Mini burgers are great options as were. Try the cocktails for sure. And also the watermelon juice. It’s advisable to reserve seats in advance because weekend evenings are all full. Parking is available. Easy location and access. If you are a dog lover you will find lot of street dogs lazying inside.

  • 5/5 Vishwas C. 1 year ago on Google
    Superb place to have peaceful food amidst a wonderful ambiance. Food was of superior quality and super tasty. Almost everything is freshly made, giving an amazing taste. Loved their pizza and also collection of wines too.

  • 5/5 Keine C. 1 year ago on Google
    Really good food, the pizza's had were so good, A bottle of oil is kept on the table which you can use to enhance the flavours of your dish. The place has two sides of sitting, loved the vibe with live music and good service. Some may find it a bit pricey but over-all a great place and definitely worth it.

  • 5/5 Rakesh B. 1 year ago on Google
    1st thing you will notice is the ambience & choice of music. Booze is a bit expensive compared to others but you'll love the food which was tasty and had that homemade feel it it . The service was quick. We ordered Mediterranea Pizza and Beer. Had a great time. Do visit if you are in South Goa.

  • 5/5 Shweta N. 3 years ago on Google
    This place is a gem for people who love absolutely love Italian food.. fell in love with the place, the food , music , ambience ... We cousins were craving for Italian food. It's a MUST visit 😘 .. gonna visit again before I fly back to Australia .

  • 5/5 Anubhav R. 2 years ago on Google
    oh what lovely pizza.. they really know their base tomato sauce.. highly recommended.. definitely coming here again for other varieties.. very helpful and attentive staff.. nice seating with some high chairs and tables.. bit costly but worth it..

  • 5/5 Babandeep B. 1 year ago on Google
    If you want to have some authentic style Italian Pizzas, Goodfellas is where to need to rush to when in south Goa. The vibe of this place is amazing. They usually have live music too on weekends which adds to the beauty of this place. The place is very well decorated yet very subtle giving a peaceful vibe.

  • 5/5 Neeraja R. 2 years ago on Google
    Pizzas are really good. The restaurant has a wonderful ambience and the hospitality is heartwarming. Do book a table before you head for the place, for it is pretty much in demand - and for good reason too.

  • 4/5 CHETAN D. 2 years ago on Google
    Had put this restaurant on to go places to eat after reading the reviews. We went there for dinner and luckily got a table as this place is usually jam packed. They specialise in pizzas, hand made wood fired pizzas. And ohh boy the pizzas are yummy. We tried the Goodfellas pizza, Rucola E Grana pizza, Pesto pizza and bruschetta. The pizzas were so yummy and the base was soft and crusty. The pesto pizza came with an addition pesto sauce and boy that sauce was yummy, the best pesto sauce I have tasted so far. The service was great and fast. The staff is polite and professional. Will surely recommend this place if you love your pizzas and pastas. Will visit here again the new t time I’m in Goa.

  • 4/5 monali s. 2 years ago on Google
    The vibes are good and welcoming. The bread for pizza is very good and had a distinct flavour enjoyed eating even the edges. The sauce was good, so was the cheese. The toppings can have a better distribution, I like to enjoy each topping mentioned in every slicr and not just one of the slice. The ravioli was not Al-dante, and couldn't taste the red amaranth as mentioned in the description. It became quite boring to eat as there was no exciting sauce (even butter and cherry tomatoes can be made exciting). Will I come back again? Yes, for Pizza.

  • 5/5 Komal O. 2 years ago on Google
    Had an amazing experience. Reservations are must because of the quality and popularity of the place. The people were kind and friendly. This place has really good pizzas. Do try the pesto pizza. We had a good time with good music people around

  • 4/5 Vinit B. 2 years ago on Google
    Great pizza. Loved the flavours and base. But be aware there is no car parking. Have to walk 50-100 meters to park by roadside with no footpath/sidewalk. Other restaurants in the area have created parking spots, but not this one. Makes it horrendous to visit if you have kids - don't want them to walk on the busy main road.

  • 4/5 Shawn M. 2 years ago on Google
    Good food limited menu coz they are not fully open. Reservation is a must or else you won't get good seating n may have to sit indoors

  • 4/5 Rayner Savio P. 3 years ago on Google
    Awesome place for Italian cuisine especially for all the pizza lovers. The Ambience was great. The food had great taste and quality. Good sitting and service was spot on. Have to visit again.

  • 5/5 Himanshu D. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best pizzas you’d ever find!

  • 5/5 Eva M. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing food, amazing ambience.. one of the best Italian I have had in India. The tiramisu could use a little rum flavour but nonetheless delicious
