La Grotta Pizzaria Italiana - Aveiro

The food was good, however the service was so awful, the waiters were very offensive and were annoyed when we asked for sauce for the second time because it was not spicy, he almost threw the stuff on the table. The other waiter also came to table 10 minutes before closing and warned us in a very offensive and rude manner that they would close on 14:30. I hope this comment find the owner because it’s a shame for such a good food to be served by very poor service.

I stopped for a bite shortly after they open for dinner, and was the only customer. First of all the table was dirty, and I was the only customer, so it wasn’t because they were busy. I ordered a Margherita pizza and was disappointed; perhaps they don’t use a woodfired oven. The topping was OK, but the crust itself seem to be cooked in an electric oven. They were no marks on the bottom of the pizza, as if it hadn’t been woodfired. Personally, I had pizza 100 times better going to Pizzería 400° nearby. The staff were nice but I wouldn’t go back. It’s OK call me a pizza snob.

I've driving in that street and never noticed this small place before. I saw some friends pictures online and we decided to give it a try. It was a nice surprise. The staff was friendly and the service was very fast. The pizzas are well made with the thin base. May not be the best pizza I ever ate but it was tasty and full of flavors. The price/quality relation is very good. I recommended it if you want to have a Italian meal with reasonable prices.

The service was fine, just a little slow. The pizzas were ok, the dough had a lot of dried flour which did not make a lot of sense… and the half/half pizza they made us pay the highest price but the more expensive pizza was the smallest in the tray not cool.

Este lugar não se destaca apenas pela comida, mas também pelo serviço e ambiente acolhedor. Sem dúvida um local de qualidade para quem procura comer algo italiano em Aveiro.
