Il Pizzaiolo. We found Il Pizzaiolo – a pizzeria in downtown Porto – by chance, on one of those days when the weather seemed more like January than June. We wanted a place to shelter ourselves and pizza sounded like a good plan. And it was.

As soon as we entered, we were greeted with a warm smile. But it was when we tasted the pizzas that we knew that we were in a special place. I am a huge fan of pizzas (and of all Italian dishes, I must say) and I fell in love with Il Pizzaiolo. Trust me, the pizzas there are delicious.

But that was not the only surprise of the night. After we finished eating, Il Pizzaiolo himself arrived and showed us how to juggle the pasta that, having a secret, makes the pizzas so delicious.

I could write a lot more, but all the words are few to describe how much I loved this pizzeria. Actually, it’s truly one of my favorites in Porto.
