What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Dom Ferreira Forneria garners praise for its delicious homemade Italian fare, particularly pasta and pizzas, along with attentive service and a pleasant atmosphere. However, some diners have noted inconsistencies in food quality, such as overly salty dishes or disappointing pizza toppings, and occasional issues with service efficiency and cleanliness.
"Great place, amazing food and atmosphere is very, very, very good. I recommend."
Luiz Lenire
"OK, let me start out by saying this was not my first choice for dinner, but when another restaurant was unavailable, I called my hotel’s concierge and asked for the name of a nearby place and they recommended Dom Ferreira.
I won’t tell you that this is the best Italian restaurant that I’ve eaten in, but they surpassed my expectations. The food was very good and the portions were very large. Some dishes were plated very attractively (others, well, they were a little repetitious). Their red sauce was tasty. Their gnocchi were great; their shrimp appetizer was also very good.
The wine menu is a bit limited, but there are enough decent choices at very reasonable prices that you an overlook the short-comings.
The waiters are attentive and helpful. The ambience is a little lacking in charm. I’d say this is a really safe bet if you want some Italian food while in Recife, and I would definitely consider dining here again."

"Stopped here for a quick takeout meal and ended up ordering the fish with grilled vegetables and rice. Probably the saltiest meal of my life. Needed to drink so much water after to feel normal. I know Brazilians like it salty but this was way too much."
