After all the morning walking and shopping we worked up an appetite for some lunch. We came across an Italian restaurant Momma Donna and the menu looked pretty good. We thought it would be interesting to see the Portuguese take on Italian food.
We started out with a pitcher of white sangria. It was a great fruity flavor.
The pizza we ordered was a pineapple pizza with ham. Now that certainly is not really Italian and that was not the pizza we wanted. We really wanted an anchovy pizza and we thought that was what we ordered. Obviously, we ordered incorrectly. It made us laugh and we made sure to eat it, I certainly do not like wasting food. It was pretty good. The ham added saltiness and the pineapple added a nice sweetness. Not your traditional pizza but worth trying if you like something different.
I also ordered gnocchi. It came tossed in a nice tangy sauce. The gnocchi were fluffy. It was a very generous portion. They were tender and I could not stop eating them.
The staff was so friendly and attentive. I am glad we stopped in. I would recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for some good Italian food.
Enjoy!
