    I couldn’t start this review without mentioning the staff at Farinha. Absolutely world-class in customer service. They made us feel so welcome and we loved chatting to the owners about their time in Canada and their move to Porto to start the restaurant. Not to mention their shared passion for food! It’s so nice when a restaurant takes time to talk to their customers. 😊 Now on to the food…pizza perfection! A light fluffy dough, delicious toppings - what more could you want?! Absolutely delicious. Sidenote - hugely recommend the cocktails! I really enjoyed the Earl Grey cocktail - never had anything like it before. The restaurant also has a nice selection of port and we had some great advice on which ones to try. In summary: a great spot for a romantic meal, an evening out with friends, a celebration - any occasion, this restaurant truly ticks all the boxes 😊🤩

    very cute place . There will be a line of people around 8, at least on Sunday. I was able to get in when the restaurant opened. Staff is so fun, very engaging and there’s someone on the staff who speaks your language . The pizza was good . Not great, not the best i’ve had but it was decent . The wine and dessert was amazing . order an oreo mousse , divine .

    Great find! Super fresh ingredients, very generous portions in a cozy casually hip ambience. We stopped in for a quick bite and ended up taking our time and enjoying a relaxing and filling meal. We ordered a large salmon salad and was plenty for twoGreat service, too!

    One of the best pizza’s in Porto. A quaint place in an old cellar type building giving nostalgic vibes. Wide variety of pizzas on menu. We were helped by Wajiha who patiently and pleasantly explained different menu and ingredient choices. Pizza dough comes with a secret recipe and I guess that’s their success. Their pesto pizza with toasted almonds was excellent and worth trying. All in all a good fare of taste and excellent service by Jia.

    6/5 AMAZING food and amazing staff. We really enjoyed our lunch here today. The starter of sardines and tuna rillettes with fresh soft bread rolls was already a 5/5 and then the pizza arrived with one of the best pizza bases we have ever had. Can highly recommend having their white port as well. Awesome place!!!

    This little hidden gem, situated not too far from some of the popular tourist attractions was our choice for an early lunch. We were greeted by friendly staff that took us to our table. For starters we had the sardines and freshly braked bread. This was delicious with the peri peri sauce that was provided. For mains we shared a vegetarian pizza, this was the star. Topped with fresh vegetables and freshly baked , could hardly go wrong with this choice. Would highly recommend this establishment. The service matched the food!

    Dined here in October of 2022 (just getting around to posting a review now) - The best salad I have ever had! If you like smoked salmon, you have to have the smoked salmon and feta salad, it was delish! Not to mention, a very generous portion of salad, 2 people could share 1 in my opinion. The pizzas were fresh and made with good quality ingredients! Would recommend this place for sure! Go for 7pm sharp when it opens, or you’ll be waiting in a line!

    Amazing italian pizza, perfect dough and qualitative ingredients. Also the price is also fitting. Quite small restaurant but worth it! The service people were so nice and attentive. Brought salt/chili oil/etc..

  • 5/5 Meghan S. 2 months ago on Google • 8 reviews New
    Amazing Neopolitan pizza, elegant atmosphere, reasonable prices. We sat at the bar, intending to just stop for a drink and appetizer, but ended up staying for dinner and loving it. The bartender was so friendly and welcoming to have us stay for dinner, even though the bar space was a bit small. Wish we'd gone back another night during our visit!

    The restaurant has a wide variety of pizzas. They also have vegetarian and vegan option! The local is very cozy and has a very calm environment. The pizza was simply delicious and people working there were all fantastic. They joined my friends to sing me the birthday song and they wrote a beautiful card for the cake! I specially want to thank Lucia, Jia and Ketlyn because they were very friendly and kind to us. I had an amazing experience here and I will definitely come back! 😊

  • 5/5 Alba Sofia S S. 2 months ago on Google • 4 reviews New
    Amazing pizza and desserts, incredible attention. 100% recommended. Our food was delicious and the attention really brightened up our night, we had a great time and we plan on coming again every time we visit!

  • 5/5 Chihyeong L. 2 months ago on Google • 3 reviews New
    민재! It was great to know you. The pizza was better than Napolitan pizza. 😁 Great dishes with perfect price. The best I’ve ever eat in this journey! 🍕 Recommend you pizza with mushrooms and pesto. And also starters, the bread with cheese and tomato sauce!! 👍

  • 5/5 Liam J. 11 months ago on Google
    The reviews speak for themselves - amazing food and amazing service. The starter special of the day was tomato herb soup with melted mozzarella with 2 fresh baked bread buns which was a great starter. For main I recommend the pesto pizza - so light, refreshing and earthy. Maybe visit earlier as there can sometimes be a queue to enter but it is definitely worth the queue.

  • 5/5 Josh G. 9 months ago on Google
    Incredible and legit Neapolitan crust and pies. The salads are also amazing. The service is top tier, a family run business. Wish we could stay longer and enjoy more food and visits! Don't miss this one!

  • 5/5 Sawyer J. 9 months ago on Google
    I came in for a take away order but stayed! Ended up getting a beer and chatting with Bruno, the manager while waiting for my food. This place is great. Bruno was very nice and sat me at the bar while I waited for the Pesto pizza and salad. They were amazing and fresh. The dough on the pizza was amazing. I’m traveling in Porto and he gave amazing recommendations for dinner that are authentic and his favorites. Highly recommend this place. Restaurant atmosphere is delightful, clean, fun and welcoming.

  • 5/5 Nilsu B. 9 months ago on Google
    They have the best pizza in the world and such a lovely, sweet service! We loved the ambiance, the service and the food. We ate pizza and had three samples of their delicious dessert. Our hostess Jia was so nice and took good care of us!

  • 4/5 Anthony C. 9 months ago on Google
    This is place to serves primarily pizza. I find the pizza just ordinary, but the ceasar salad was superb. Best dish were actually the deserts. Three small dishes of creme brule and tiramisu and panna cota really delicious and creamy.

  • 4/5 Kenn L. 5 months ago on Google
    While good, it was my least favorite pizza I've had in Spain and Portugal. Crust was quite doughy, and toppings kind of generic without a strong flavour. Had the chorizo and pepper pizza. Service was good and friendly, but a tad slower to get my pizza than most places.

  • 5/5 Kulvir S. 6 months ago on Google
    We went to this place our first night in Porto and we absolutely loved it! The atmosphere was so lively and fun, the pizza was delicious, and the entire restaurant staff were so kind and helpful. They gave us lots of tips on places to check out in Porto and really made us feel welcome. Raffi especially was a very entertaining host and we had a great experience having dinner here. I would highly recommend checking this place out, I know I'll definitely go back there if I'm in Porto again!

  • 5/5 Simoukda F. 7 months ago on Google
    Busy place but the wait for a table was quickly accommodated. Believe all the positive reviews, the pizza was excellent and make sure to leave room for the tasty desserts. We were taken care of by Carla who had a wonderful personality and made our dinner a memorable experience in Porto. Would definitely recommend, you won’t be disappointed.

  • 5/5 Connor G. 8 months ago on Google
    Best pizza in Portugal. I’ve lived in Lisbon for four years, have tried all the spots there, and I wish Farinha would open a location there. Really proper stuff. Service from Rafi also super friendly. Will come back whenever I’m in Porto.

  • 5/5 Fabio E. 4 months ago on Google
    One of the best pizzas we have ever had. The tiramisu was the perfect choice to finish our dinner. Really good service (thanks Jia!) and definitely worth a visit!

  • 5/5 rola a. 1 year ago on Google
    Rafi was amazing. Super friendly and helpful. The salads were excellent. We ate the pizzas so fast , I didn't have time to take pics! A nice break from portuguese cuisine. Must-try in Porto

  • 5/5 Elise V. 2 years ago on Google
    I went to Farinha my first night in Porto. The staff is extremely kind and friendly and made the whole experience. Everything I ordered was amazing from the drinks to the salad to the pizza to the dessert. I highly recommend this restaurant!

  • 5/5 Jack W. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent restaurant with an amazing staff, really helpful, understanding and nice ! We ordered salads, and several pizzas : all delicious! We left nothing on the table! Deserts were very tasty too and not too sugary, i could eat them again and again. I would recommend this place without a shadow of a doubt.

  • 5/5 Carina S. 2 years ago on Google
    A perfect spot on a quiet street right in Porto. Stop for a cappuccino, a snack, or wine. We weren’t very hungry so shared some small plates which were fresh and yummy. Excellent wine for 3 Euro. And the owners could not be nicer, sharing their own recommendations for the rest of our trip. I wish we came hungry - but we will be back to try some pizza which looked delicious.

  • 5/5 Zuzanna M. 2 years ago on Google
    Everything was great. Salad was fresh and really big. Pizza was also really good. Both were about 10 euro, I think that's fair price for this food. We also had tiramisu, it was delicious.

  • 5/5 Skibitth 2 years ago on Google
    We had a great and tasty pizza and 2 cappuccino! I totally recommend this one if you are looking for a good pizza!

  • 5/5 Willow M. 2 years ago on Google
    The service was amazing- the waiter brought an energetic energy to the table. The Neapolitan style crust was similarly amazing, and the salad breathtaking as well as delicious!

  • 5/5 Hanneke de Jonge (Hanneke Y. 2 years ago on Google
    Service with the best smile, run by a family from France. Food is fresh and very delicious. Highly recommend when you are in Porto!

  • 5/5 Shivam S. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic pizza and desserts. Had the 4-cheese, vegan and goat cheese pizzas, which were all amazing. Rafi and Rachel are the best! Would 100% recommend if in the area! Super outdoor seating.

  • 5/5 Miri M. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a lovely place. They were kind enough to accommodate my requests to "veganised" the pair salad. The vegan pizza was delicious.

  • 5/5 Lisandra F. 9 months ago on Google
    I recently had the pleasure of dining at a fantastic restaurant that left me and my boyfriend completely impressed. From the moment we walked in, the service was nothing short of superb, thanks to the dedicated and attentive team of Bruno, Moh, and Rafi. Each one of them was genuinely warm, friendly, and knowledgeable, making us feel incredibly welcome throughout my entire dining experience. We dined here TWICE during our time in Porto. One of the highlights of our evening was undoubtedly the pizza. The crust was perfectly thin, yet delightfully chewy, and the wood-fired flavor added an extra layer of authenticity! Another dish that stood out to me was the sardines, I found myself savoring every bite of the cheese and fish. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking a memorable and delicious treat during your time in the beautiful city of Porto!

  • 5/5 Raihanah L. 1 year ago on Google
    amazing amazing amazing!! if i could give more stars i would. we arrived when it was raining and since we were a large group they couldn’t accommodate us inside. so while we sat at a table outside, our waiter, Mo tried his best to find spots for us inside and managed to seat us all together. we celebrated a friend’s birthday here and they even turned down the lights, lit a candle and sang happy birthday for her, did i mention we got 3 free desserts? the food itself was fantastic! no complaints whatsoever. would definitely recommend the salmon pizza (it’s the best one for sure!!), the 4 cheese pizza has blue cheese which can be a bit strong depending on your preference so keep that in mind if you’re ordering it. overall, the restaurant is amazing, prices are reasonable, the food and most of all, service is unparalleled. my only wish is that it was bigger so that they can accommodate more customers!

  • 5/5 Vincent B. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely and open staff - amazing service - were quickly seated, had some great specials (& happily asked the kitchen about the cheese for the pregnant member of our part) food arrived nice and quick (within 20 minutes of seating) & tasted amazing! Attentive staff and then desserts were also yum. Well priced and a great lunch - definitely recommend to travellers, locals and pizza lovers a like.

  • 5/5 Ilse K. 1 year ago on Google
    Best place we ever ate! Delicious food and good drinks. The staff is so kind and funny. You might have to wait for a table but it is so worth it. We will definitely be back!

  • 1/5 F G. 1 year ago on Google
    Long (1:30hrs) waiting time in windy and cold weather for a disaster not food. The pizza was not eatable and if you complain your answer would be “ it’s our style” The salad had no dressing, we were not even offered for pepper or even some balsamic. The staff were nice, caring and fun. Definitely not recommended.

  • 5/5 Jetta B. 2 years ago on Google
    Food was delicious. Had humus and special starter of mozerella melted I. Tomato sauce. Bread was gorgeous freshly baked. Think we ate too much and could have done with having only one pizza between those. Love the mini deserts @ €1.80, we had to try the tiramisu too. Had the house red Douro wine which was so good. Staff were extremely friendly.

  • 5/5 Isabella S. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best pizzas I ever had, especially the one with goat cheese & honey. The service is really friendly & engaging. I have been there already 2 years ago & coming back was absolutely the right choice & I definitely will enjoy these amazing pizzas again.

  • 5/5 James R. 1 year ago on Google
    Great spot for wood fired pizza and well made salads. The mozzarella and goat cheese with the salad was fresh and delicious. Portions are very generous, two of us couldn't even finish the large size salad. Enjoyed the chorizo/pepperoni pizza.

  • 5/5 Sarah R. 11 months ago on Google
    Of the 3 nights we spent in Porto, we came here for 2 of the nights. Such a wonderful experience. Raffi, one of the servers, gave us one of the most incredible dining experiences. Greeted us at the door with hand shakes, made us feel so welcome, recommended food and wine as well as other bars in the area. He made the experience! The pizza was some of the best we had ever had. So light and fluffy. The deserts were also incredible, we recommend getting one of each! The next time we are in Porto this will be the first place we come back to!!

  • 5/5 Kinga �. 10 months ago on Google
    One of the best pizzas I've ever eaten. The dough is exceptional, the tomato sauce very tasty. My vegan pizza had a lot of toppings and they weren't just raw - they've been prepared beforehand which resulted in an amazing taste. Highly recommend, fair prices and very helpful and friendly staff.

  • 5/5 Johnny H. 2 years ago on Google
    I loved this place and can see why it has such great reviews. We were seated outside and despite the place being busy, the service was incredibly friendly. We didn’t have to wait too long before being seated, however we did notice some parties were waiting for a while. Food was excellent with great pizzas and salads with a good range of drinks. The only issue we had was with the outside tables - the gaps were too big to hold glasses with security and because the place is on a hill the chairs weren’t always stable! Aside from this small issue, the place was fantastic and will certainly return next time in Porto.

  • 5/5 Steven A. 4 months ago on Google • 1 review
    This meal was so easy and lovely. We were a party of 3, first meal in Porto. We started with the tuna rillette (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) and sardines which was the party favorite. The pear pizza special was excellent, as was their standard menu “ham and pastrami” pizza. The start of the meal was our server Mo who not only guided us through the meal but also gave us recs for our stay in the city. Eat here!
