About Casa da Foz
Casa da Foz is a intimate Italian trattoria tucked into Foz Velha that has earned a devoted local following alongside international visitors. With 75.8% five-star reviews (615 of 811), the restaurant excels at thin-crust pizzas with fresh ingredients, housemade pastas, and signature beef Wellington that regulars return for repeatedly. The wine list is a standout—curated with care—and desserts (especially the chocolate pizza and natas do céu) close meals memorably. The space is deliberately small and characterful, decorated with personality, creating an atmosphere that feels like dining in someone's Italian home. Service moves with practiced efficiency; the owner António is notably hands-on and warm. Reservations are essential, particularly for dinner, as tables fill quickly. The restaurant welcomes families with children and offers a kids' menu, while the casual-yet-romantic setting suits both weeknight dinners and special occasions. Late-night dining is available, and the house sangria is a reliable choice.
Casa da Foz is the neighbourhood spot done right — unhurried, unpretentious, with a wine list that gives it an edge over most of its category.

What Customers Say
Endroit où les jeunes portugais viennent manger. Ne vous fiez pas au manque de sourire de la patronne, concentration oblige lors d'un gros service. Nous sommes arrivés sans réservation (conseillée d ailleurs) et on nous a refait une table, nourriture et sangria excellentes. Personnes adorables et prix correct. Je recommande !
Restaurante pizzeria con pizzas con masa muy fina y todas las que hemos probado riquísimas. De postre hay pizza de chocolate con fresas. Maravillosa. Sólo podemos recomendar Casa da Foz.
Boa comida, boas sobremesas e muita simpatia por parte dos donos! O bife Wellington não falha. Sempre bom! E as natas do céu... As melhores que há! Muito recomendado!
