A Taverna intru u vicu Restaurant In Belmonte calabro

08/07/2026: A warm welcome, but the gluten-free pizza could be improved. ​I chose this place because both my son and I are celiac and we wanted pizza. I should start by saying that, as a Neapolitan, I tend to be "forgiving" when I eat pizza outside of my hometown (please don't be offended!). As a celiac, I'm even more so, because even in Naples, it's hard to find a true gluten-free pizza that compares to the original. ​Here's our experience: ​The place and the service: The atmosphere is very welcoming, as is the staff, who were efficient, friendly, and quick with their service. ​The "classic" pizza: For non-celiacs, the pizza is definitely decent. ​The gluten-free pizza: I ordered a Margherita. On a positive note: it wasn't the classic pre-packaged "flying saucer" and didn't float in oil. However, the dough was a bit heavy, and the tomato sauce, perhaps undercooked or too much, made the base too wet. My rating for the gluten-free version is a passing grade (6). ​Location: Excellent! There's street parking, and it's located across from the seafront and a stone's throw from the center of Praia, making it ideal for a stroll and a bit of shopping. ​Overall, a good experience, with a little room for improvement regarding the dough and cooking of the gluten-free pizza.

01/07/2026: The place is very charming and welcoming in its discreet simplicity. The staff is definitely a strong point: always attentive and present but never intrusive. Located just steps from the sea, unfortunately the view is obscured... The view of the splendid sunsets remains, however. The three stars for the food are exclusively for the pizza experience: excellent in terms of ingredients and flavor, but less so for the type of dough, which, once it cooled a bit, became rubbery and less fragrant. I think it's worth trying their other gastronomic specialties!
