Manifattura Di Gelato restaurant

This is a very good choice for a meal or desserts in Calheta, especially if you appreciate Italian-style pizza, quality gelato and a nice harbour view. The food was delicious, and our family enjoyed it. We will definitely visit again.

Only Italian place with stone oven. We tried fish and pizza here. Pizza was too brunt and thin. But ample portion. The view is awesome for sunset. Their outdoor seating area is also nice and decorated. We recommend to visit here if you are in calheta

We went here to get a pizza and pasta takeaway. I must say the service we received was 10/10 the front of the house staff were amazing. Had a smile on her face and very attentive. You can get food anywhere it’s the atmosphere that makes a great place…. well done staff you are great!

I've been saving my last bite of pizza for the last 5 minutes so I can enjoy this moment a little longer. Incredible pizza - light and crispy. Fast service. Friendly people. Great wine. Highly recommend if you're looking for pizza in Madeira

Disappointed - we had to wait nearly 30 minutes to have our order taken - despite asking several waiters they kept saying ‘someone is coming’. I finally got a waitress (who said she shouldn’t be serving us) to take the order. The food came in under 10 minutes and tasted delicious…. However the chicken pizza had a bone in it 😢

It was a big mess. Waiting ages to be seated, waiting ages to be asked to order. Place was not even full, many spare tables left but people had to wait in line to be seated. We shared a salami pizza, food was good. It seemed that tasks among employees were not clear and therefore it all seemed like a big mess. Place has had been recommended to us by many locals but unfortunately the service was a disaster.

Definitely the best restaurant on the Praia de Calheta and one the best 5 on Madeira. It's not a simple Italian restaurant, it has sophisticated dishes done to perfection, both in taste and presentation, from Beef Tartar to Osso Buco and Octopus. Their Gelato is freshly made on the premises, definitely you can't find a better one. Definitely the most friendly service on the island. Prices are fair also.

Delicious food and friendly service. We visited twice (20th and 21st of March) and first night was perfect. Friendly and attentive waiters, delicious food and good prices. Second night one of our waiters (who was not there the night before) misunderstood our orders (we were ordering caprese/carpaccio starters and we were given two pizzas..) at the start and was very rude about it and then refused to serve our table for the rest of the evening meaning we were waiting for a long time in-between courses until other waiters stepped in. We understand mistakes happen and were not upset about that in the slightest but we were made to feel like we were in the wrong, which left a bit of a sour taste on what would’ve been another great night of food.
