Al Portone In Este

I occasionally frequent this now historic restaurant in the center of Este. I can say I've always enjoyed excellent pizzas and a solid menu. In other words, it's one of those places where you eat REALLY WELL and without frills. The restaurant is clean, very spacious, with an outdoor veranda and a lovely little garden for relaxing on summer evenings. The prices are reasonable for the quality offered. The owner's professionalism and friendliness are combined with the kindness and helpfulness of the staff. What more can I say? A well-deserved five stars.

The place is a little dated, but the pizza is excellent!

The pizza was good, but the service was always so slow. It took us 40 minutes to get a dessert that never arrived. We got up and went to the register to pay, and they'd just taken it out of the freezer... Luckily, they didn't charge us for it.

I don't know why this restaurant has an average rating of only 3.9. It deserves at least 4.5. The food was delicious and freshly prepared. The service was excellent. I'd be happy to go back.
