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.

Once again Sabores de Italia in Caldas has shown why it remains my favorite place in town. My family and I had a wonderful meal including starters and desserts. The Lobster Canneloni has absolutely delicious! First time having this appetizer, but it will not be...the last. Duck breast, Tenderloin Steak, Asparagus tagliatelli and a Chefs salad rounded out our selections for the evening. All prepared to perfection with wonderful accompaniments of potatoes, rissoto and vegetables. The mouse is always my favorite to finish off the meal. Thank you to Norberto and his staff for another lovely meal. Best regards and continued success. RandalMore

The dinner we had here was absolutely amazing. It's not easy to find great restaurants in this region but this restaurant is absolutely fantastic. The food as well as the service. Traditional Italian food and we will definitely return. The only regret we had was...that we did not have enough room left to enjoy the desserts which also sounded fantastic.More

Everything: from the moment you come in till you leave. We dropped in without a reservation and they made a table available (on my birthday). Al fresco salad, fish, nothing too much, all flavors fully balanced. We returned again to have a pizza the next...day after a long day of driving around and again the taste was in balance: crisp, thin and very very fresh and delicious. Wonderful owner who is the patron keeping an eye on his guests being well served: thank you!More

We were visiting Caldas and we were renting an Air BnB about a block away. This restaurant was recommended to us by the caretaker and so we made a reservation, which was handled very kindly in person. The food was excellent, every course was presented...beautifully and the pacing of service was attentive but non-intrusive. This group works as a marvelous team. The owner runs a professional and masterful establishment. And yet there was no pretension or attempt to make anyone feel intimidated; we felt very welcomed as foreigners. I would highly recommend eating here; you will be delighted!More

We waited for our food for over an hour. The food was mediocre at best. Definitely would not recommend. There are many restaurants around it, try some thing else.

There were six of us for dinner. The owner is a gentleman who is justifiably proud of his restaurant. All six of really enjoyed our food immensely. I had a starter portion of Grandmas ravioli which is not on the menu but no problem. Beautiful...pasta and then a pizza which was perfect followed by tiramisu. Highly recommend.More

If you are looking for Italian food that tastes A+ in an unexpected, sophisticated dining room make a reservation at Sabores D’Italia. My husband and I were staying in Obidos about 30 minutes away from this wonderful haven. When we arrived at the door we...were greeted by name and immediately we felt welcome. The dining staff was very caring and attentive. Though it was not on the menu they prepared some fresh brewed iced tea. All pasta is made by hand. Dessert is amazing. Please put SaboreD’Italia at the top of your Portugal dining choices.More

Horrible! The food has no taste at all! The service is a crap! Don't go. The food seems to be frozen, the waiters spend most of their time chating among them.
