About Alba - Trattoria Casuale - Mare

Casual Italian on the Aguda coast, but the service here runs at a different register than most places this relaxed. Mateus and Isaura look after the room with the kind of attention that earns return visits — Isaura's tiramisu recommendation alone has people coming back. The food is the point: the arancini de ragù and the risotto de cogumelos lead the menu, with the cauliflower risotto and cod croquettes close behind, all of them arriving well-made and generously portioned. The limoncello sangria has its own following. The room itself is considered beautiful by the people who eat here regularly, with sea views that reviewers call paradisíaca. Reservations matter, especially at weekends.
