De realçar a simpatia das funcionárias e a boa localização. A regressar certamente 💙
Very cosy spot with a warm atmosphere. The woman working there was incredibly friendly and kind. My girlfriend and I went after watching the sunset and stopped by for an ice cream, the perfect little moment to end the day.
Melhor gelataria do Porto. Ricotta e figo !
