The story
Tucked away in Lajes on the island of Terceira, Sabores Sopranos is a family-run trattoria that has earned a stellar 4.6-star rating from locals and visitors alike. The creator Sentieri Golosi describes it as "a traditional seafood trattoria," setting the tone for an evening of honest, island cooking. With its unassuming location on Largo da igreja, the restaurant delivers the kind of warm, casual hospitality that makes you feel like a regular from the first bite.
The meal unfolds like a greatest hits of Azorean flavors: cured presunto, marinated olives, a bright octopus and chickpea salad with kefale, and jumbo prawns. The standout finish? A slice of Bolo de Biscoito di Sao Jorge, the region's signature layered cake. Sentieri Golosi sums it up simply: "all very good." For a spot that feels both local and welcoming, Sabores Sopranos is a genuine find.

A traditional seafood trattoria where we had a full dinner with ham, octopus salad, prawns, and a local dessert, all very good.
Dishes mentioned
Presunto
We ordered the ham, I don't remember the exact name. It has a certain bite, but it's not bad. I can't handle ham without bread though.
Olive Marinate
We had marinated olives as a starter. They are classic, with garlic, onion, peppers, parsley. Good.
Insalata di Polpo, Ceci e Kefale
This is octopus, chickpea and kefale salad. The chickpeas are simple but always good, and they contain cod too. Very good.
Jumbo Shrimp
We ordered something we thought was fried food, but instead we got fresh chips and prawns. The prawn is good, tasty. I like it.
Bolo de Biscoito di Sao Jorge
We took a typical dessert from Sao Jorge, which is biscuit cake with cinnamon. It's good.
