We were looking for a restaurant for the evening at the last minute and we arrived by chance. Uber from central Porto was really cheap even though you had to cross to the other side of the river. It turned out that they opened the restaurant only 4 days ago. The restaurant was designed in a modern, minimalistic style (I really liked it). It is possible to sit around the bar (the tabon area) or at tables. And there is also a gallery floor. The service was excellent and friendly, we ordered a salad and a pizza and both were excellent. We also took a bottle of wine which was fairly priced and the dessert (panna cotta) was perfect. The restaurant is in a beautiful place close to the river, so you can also take a walk in the area before or after. Even on a rainy evening it was charming and even romantic.

We went in a group of 6 people and we all got out extremely satisfied! The atmosphere of the pizzeria is very pleasant, ideal for a cozy dinner. The pizzas were delicious, with quality ingredients and very well prepared.
The service was impeccable! The whole staff was very attentive and kind, which made all the difference in our experience. A special thanks to Augusto, who served us with a lot of sympathy and professionalism, and to his colleague, who was also very helpful.
Congratulations to all staff for the excellent service! We will definitely come back and recommend it to everyone who is looking for a great pizza.

We went to dinner at this wonderful restaurant one of the first days after opening.
We are big fans of the same restaurant in Lisbon, of which we have been customers for years and where we return regularly.
In the harbor we found an imposing and fantasticly decorated space, with a beautiful atmosphere and a very beautiful natural afternoon light.
The pizzas were very tasty, this wooden oven was already super refined.
As always we also taste the entrance salads and a great cocktail. We end with our favorite panna Cotta.
We have to be back soon

Let's start with the positive. This restaurant has two of the best salads I have ever eaten (avocado and goat cheese); the staff is friendly and attentive. It has a fabulous window overlooking the Port See.
The pizzas are good, nothing of another world, but good.
The bad; the music. Very high and totally inappropriate for a restaurant. Almost ruined our experience.

True Napoli pizza done well in Gaia!
The pizza dough had perfect leoparding and soft chew, and the toppings were balanced and fresh.
The salads were also excellent as was the service.
Enjoy a casual, but gourmet, pizza night in warm surroundings right on the banks of the Douro.
In a place where tourist restaurants abound, it was nice to find authentic food done right by friendly people.
Muito Boa!!!

I'm Neapolitan and I never eat pizza outside Naples, I made an exception for this pizzeria because it's called M'arrecreo (typical Neapolitan expression that expresses enjoyment) and I absolutely did not regret my choice! The pizza is fabulous, soft dough cooked to perfection and authentic ingredients. I will definitely return during my next visit to Porto!

This charming Neapolitan pizzeria in Gaia offers not only the best handmade pizza but also breathtaking views of the Douro River and the iconic Porto cityscape.
The handmade pizzas are truly exceptional, with perfectly roast and fresh authentic Italian ingredients that transports you straight to Naples.
The atmosphere is warm and the staff is friendly and relaxed.
Whether you’re enjoying a quiet meal or a special occasion, the combination of incredible food, stunning scenery, and excellent service makes this restaurant a must-visit.

Very well decorated space, with a wonderful view, and friendly and attentive service. Being able to see the preparation of the pizzas makes the experience even more authentic.
From the entrances to the desserts, everything was great. The pizzas - cooked in a wooden oven - are divine.
Definitely to repeat. I recommend!

We love the service, all staff very helpful and attentive. They suggested great pizzas, and we left the restaurant super satisfied. The Avocado salad is divine and the pizza from the house M’arrecreo is undoubtedly a great option. A special thanks to Augusto who attended us and provided an excellent experience.

I’ve known this restaurant since Lisbon and I’ve been to Porto once. I don't think it keeps the same level of pizza mass and the amount of ingredients. The napolitanas can't have a fixed mass underneath has to get rid of and before in Lisbon it was like this

Came here for dinner on our last night in Porto. I had the Marinara 2.0 with added cheese. It was delicious. My husband had the Maradona calzone and oh my goodness it was the best calzone I’ve ever tasted. The staff and the service were very attentive. We had a wonderful time.

Lovely! The service and food is phenomenal. Upscale but also casual. I had a lovely dinner here and the servers were so friendly. The food was amazing and the atmosphere was very unique to Porto. If you are looking for exceptional food, good atmosphere, but a bit low key- this is your place!! As I’m writing this review the hostess came to take my payment and she was a bit cold, I hate to say that but I’m a travel agent that specializes in luxury travel so it matters!
