A solid 3 ⭐ experience. Attentive and knowledgeable staff. Large menue with food from within and outside your comfort zone. Attention to FLAVOUR was good. Nice presentation. Prices were very reasonable. Live music was a bonus. Great spot for a chilled cosy evening to get some cocktails and tapas. Nice for friends and couples. Larger groups that want to shout and disturb the tranquility should visit Titos and Mambos instead. Would definitely recommend the Prawn and Crab tostada and tha Vegetarian soft taco. The grilled chicken was over done. I wish the offered more varities of pasta than just the flat chewy fettuccini. Well located on a wide road and easy access. This is another level of the best food ever! Supremely yummy and freshly made.. tickling all taste buds! All the puree, sauces were too good! Can go back again and again! After hearing so much about Petisco, I finally visited yesterday. We ordered two fish dishes and one pasta. The taste was amazing, and the service was excellent — the captain who attended to us did a splendid job and truly deserves recognition for his professionalism. However, I was quite disappointed that the fish served to us was cold and didn’t seem fresh. Unfortunately, I ended up feeling quite unwell and even vomited after returning home. I’d really urge Petisco to ensure the seafood they serve is absolutely fresh — it makes all the difference to the experience.

Absolutely loved my experience at Petisco. From the moment I walked in, the warm and inviting ambiance set the tone. The staff were attentive, friendly, and genuinely seemed to care about making the evening enjoyable. The menu has a great variety, but the real standout was the barbecue pork — tender, smoky, and bursting with flavor. It was easily one of the best renditions I’ve had in Goa. Each bite was perfectly seasoned and had that rich, melt-in-your-mouth texture that makes you want to order seconds. Service was prompt without being rushed, and the team was happy to offer recommendations. Whether you’re looking for a quiet dinner or a place to indulge in good food with friends, Petisco hits all the right notes. Highly recommend, especially for anyone craving bold flavors and a cozy yet lively vibe. Will definitely be back!

Petisco isn’t just another place — it’s a soul-stirring celebration of bold flavours, quiet craftsmanship, and food that feels like a warm conversation. From the very first bite, this place makes it clear: they take their food seriously. The Petisco fried chicken here is golden perfection — crisp on the outside, tender and impossibly juicy within. It’s the kind of dish that makes you pause mid-bite just to appreciate the balance of spice, salt, and crunch. But the real surprise came with the Alsande bean tacos — never had veg tacos taste so heavenly. It’s rustic and refined all at once — a taco that doesn’t shout, but sings. And then… there’s the pulled pork sandwich — rich, melt-in-your-mouth meat that’s been given the time it deserves. Every strand is coated in a glaze that’s sweet, smoky, and subtly spiced — a perfect counterpoint to the softness of their in-house brioche buns. Speaking of which — these buns are a revelation. Feather-soft and buttery. Hands down, the softest I’ve ever tasted. What sets Petisco apart is their quiet attention to detail. It’s comfort food done with elegance, and soul food made with skill. If you find yourself in Goa and your tastebuds are in search of a memory, Petisco is where you’ll find it.
