Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We found this treasure of a restaurant while visiting Ponta Delgata. What a treat! I called for a reservation and was greeted by a cheerful voice of one of the owners. When we arrived he called me by name and gave us a personalized dining...experience that was phenomenal. We learned about regional fish and sampled several local dishes. If you are visiting here, put this on your list. You won’t regret it! Warm and welcoming, fun atmosphere, delicious local cuisine. Bravo!More

I can't speak highly enough of this mother and son (Sónia and Gonçalo) owned seafood restaurant, just outside the center of town. We stopped for dinner after reading really good reviews and we weren't disappointed. After arriving, the Gonçalo showed us the fresh fish selections...of the day and talked about the different preparations. We ordered the tuna and the sea bream, both of which were fantastic and so delicious. We also tried sea limpets for the first time. Served in garlic and butter, they were very good as well. Throughout the meal both Sónia and Gonçalo were extremely attentive and friendly. We had an amazing coconut and chocolate dessert topped off with some complimentary shots of the local milk liquor. They made us feel so at home and it was probably the best meal that we had while we were in the Azores. Make sure that you check this place out while you are in town.More

Without a doubt, the BEST restaurant I have been to in the Azores. Sonia was so incredibly kind and took great care of us. We had no reservation and she made sure we got a table shortly after arriving. She was extremely friendly and greeted...every single guest. She explained the menu and food options perfectly and in English, despite her saying that her English wasn’t great (it was actually the best I’ve heard on the island so far from a local). The food was absolutely amazing and so were the drinks. I would recommend this place to anyone and would definitely go back! My favorite place so far! Thank you Sonia for taking the time to provide incredible service and food to every single guest. It does not go unnoticed!More

Service was incredible and the food had to be one of the best tasting meals I’ve ever eaten. Can’t recommend Gastronomos more! Sonia took great care of us and her recommendations for food were spot on. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Had a nice evening here. Food was straightforward cooking and was good because of the fresh ingredients, but not delicious. Service was friendly and welcoming, and they gave us a bottle of schnapps as we left! This was our most expensive meal out (of 3)...at €100 for two courses for two of us.More

Restaurante Gastronomo serves exceptional seafood and meat dishes - and with a level of service and warmth unmatched on the island. Sonia, the owner, and her son,Gozalo (sp?), balance warmth, attentiveness, and efficiency in their service. Together, that makes for a top notch experience. If...you want fresh grilled fish, this is your place. Amazing carne? Yup - also her. Most of all, if you want to finish an epic meal and feel like you’ve been welcomed to the table of a close friend, then you must visit Gastronomo.More

Amazing food, amazing service! Sonia and her son are fantastic hosts, they take time with each guest to explain about the fish ( super fresh and great choices) which is on display behind a glass so you can actually see how fresh it is (...I’m a fish snob…) . Highly recommended. Which I could take them back with me to the USA!!More

Lot of people put good...comment and the people who put bad comment : don't listen to that ! It was fresh, it was delicious, it was an amazing gastronomia experience !! And the owner Sonia she is really friendly and kind ! Go eat there - highly recommended and a must in your travel experience ! AntoineMore

I walked in at closing time and was greeted by the cheerful owner who said he could still get me some tuna. Which I understood to be simple tuna sandwich, but he said no real tuna. Little did I know what I was in for....This is the best tuna I have ever had. Prepared per my desired cooking time, with a few potatoes and in a delicious olive oil and vegetable sauce. It was delicious and so unexpected, agree a 27 hours delay by SATA and no rental cars available at the airport despite a reservation. This restaurant saved the day. Great local owners, hard working and they will make your palate sing. Highly recommend!More

Reservations recommended or try your luck. They show u to your table then by groups at a time, show u the catch of the day. The 2 of us shared the sampler platter and it was huge. The cheese app was big too. Large portions...here so take note. You can also get other entrees besides seafood. Blood sausage w pineapple was good too. Bone in fish…It’s kinda in a shady part of town (my opinion) but walkable from Atlantico.More

I checked the reviews on TripAdvisor and Yelp about this restaurant and they were spot on. We really enjoyed the food and service . The location was just a 5 minute walk from our hotel, which was the Neat Avienda. Sonia and her son Gonealo...definitely made us feel right at home. I ate octopus at at least three different restaurants while here in the Azores and this places was the best it was the bomb! The name is very appropriate. If you're going to eat at any particular restaurant, let this be one of the restaurants you go to.More
