Everything Cool in Portugal
Recently, at MODALISBOA, Portugal Confidential was intrigued that one post-fashion show event was to be held at a pizzeria. Upon further investigation, it turns out, Pizzaria Maritaca is as hip and stylish as its clientele.
The restaurant is ideally located in the trendy Santos area of Lisbon, near the Kapital nightclub and neighboring the Port of Lisbon. As with the surrounding buildings, Maritaca is open and spacious. Although very much the layout of a warehouse, the restaurant still feels intimate. Décor is modern, with heavy use of wood and metal. Impeccably dressed people crowd in every night, especially Friday and Saturday.
Maritaca specializes in pizzas that are a fusion of Italian and Baiana (Brazilian) and Italian. Thin crust pizzas are baked in a wood oven. Crowd favorites, such as four stations, caprese and pepperoni pizzas are available. However, Maritaca kitchen also creates specialty versions like: the Maritaca, with tomato sauce, mozzarella, chicken and catupiry (a popular cheese used in pizzas in Brazil); Oceano with 1/3 tuna, 1/3 shrimp and 1/3 anchovies; and Gournet of tomato sauce, mozzarella, gorgonzola, tomatoes, anchovies, capers and oregano. If you’d rather not have a pizza, the menu offers a selection of salads, pastas, risottos and meat dishes.
