Italia Pizzeria - Soutomaior

We had a couple of vegetarians in our group doing the Portuguese Camino. The owner of this family restaurant very graciously adapted the menu to satisfy our needs. We had the most delectable veg pasta and pizza; not to mention the fresh garden salad.

As a hungry pilgrim walking the Camino de Santiago I am always hoping to find a satisfying pilgrim ' 'menu. ' I arrived at around 12:30 in the afternoon, just after opening for the day. I was the first patron inside (although by 1pm the place was full). The young lady who seated me was very kind and offered me several options including pizzas which happened to be 1/2 off on this particular day (I appreciated the fact that she informed me of this). After browsing the extensive menu, I decided to order the 'menu ' of the day. I enjoyed a huge seafood salad, a 14 pizza (topped with mushrooms, onions and bacon) and a rich, delicious chocolate cake for dessert total bill: 9 euros. Service was friendly and efficient and the décor was casual upscale with heavy wood and tile with an abundance of natural light emanating from the rear wall of windows.
