A Despensa

"Daniel Tarantino was a “repressed cook”, trapped in the mechanized routine of an engineer. He served his sentence for ten years until he decided to fulfill his dream of a lifetime in Portugal. The choice is easy to understand: by his side is Elsa, a Portuguese woman he met on Erasmus. Together, they passed through Spain and Saudi Arabia, until they landed in Porto. From their travels they brought inspiration for the dishes and preserves that they keep in their Pantry, which has been open to everyone since July 30th. This pantry is divided into two. On one side, the restaurant, with traditional Italian dishes, other Spanish dishes and many Portuguese ingredients mixed in. On the other, the homemade preserves, a tradition that Daniel brought from home, that is, from Puglia, a region in the south of Italy."

"This restaurant is kinda fancy as you can see, therefore, it is a little bit more expensive than in normal restaurants. They have a large selection of meals, mostly Italian. I haven´t been there, however, it is highly recommended on the internet with many positive reviews."
