We came here in June after being recommended by family who frequently dine here. We can see why! The owner was very welcoming, the food was delicious (best bruschetta I’ve ever had!!) and the service was perfect. We will definitely come again when we’re back in Cape Verde! Thank you

This an absolutely amazing restaurant, with unique atmosphere! Food is high level, just amazing! Great place for romantic dinner!

Pizza was okey. Second visit, 5.2.23, somehow pizza was even better, service nice and efficient. Reserve yr table, seems to be do popular. Guess u dont be disappointed after yr dinner. Have to increase the stars to 5. There in Baraonda again. Bruschetta and pasta con asparagus e shrimps, it's just food but how good.

The best restaurant on the island! Atmosphere, service and food all exceptional, genuine Italian quality! We ate the best entrecote that this island can offer and highly recommend the broken down tiramisu which is a unique experience and taste

What a find. A beautiful Italian run by Husband and Wife Barbara. A true Italian experience, Barbara is very knowledgeable and knows exactly which part of Italy thier products have come from. We were in Cape Verde for two weeks and ate here twice. For starters we had the sharing platter, brushetta and baked goats cheese all of which were outstanding. Mains we had pizzas (exceptionally good and really like that you can choose what toppins) Gnocchi sorrentina (our daughter had this both times we went there) Penned Bolognese for our youngest. Sliced Enrecote with green pepper sauce. The show stopper for us was the deconstructed tiramisu absolutely outstanding 👏 Greatly appreciate your hospitality and thank you. Best of luck for the rest of the year.

I always check reviews before going to a restaurant. I have to admit this place surpass my expectations. The hospitality is a mix of Cabo Verde style smile and Italian grandeur. The lady of the house together with her staff will take care of your evening with a lot of attention to details. The food is great: pasta is el dente and tiramisu is served in a funny way. I will recommend this place to my friends and any stranger who comes to Santa Maria. Keep up the good work!

A real friendly welcome and authentic Italian sun-blessed food. Nice relaxed atmosphere close to the major hotels in Santa Maria and with parking outside. Great for a quick bite or a long evening meal....and good coffee!

This restaurant is by far the best restaurant we visited whilst staying in Santa Maria. It’s a really pretty restaurant with fabulous food choices suitable for all the family, all cooked to a very high standard. The wine choice is also excellent. To top it all off the wife of the chef is so lovely and friendly, so much so we went back twice! This is a restaurant that is not to be missed!
