Reviews
Wow, I didn’t know you needed to eat Italian food in Lisbon, but this is a must. The service is incredible, with knowledgeable staff, from the host to the server to bar staff. Ask for their recommendations- or choose anything on the menu, it will be delicious and presented in a 5-star fashion. We had the Cacio & Pepe, Tiger Prawn Tagliatelle, and the Milanese, along with an excellent Touriga, aperitivos, and oh yes, tiramisu. Photo-worthy interior, pretty bar area, and centrally located. Highly recommend.
Close your eyes and you'll think you're dining in the Tuscany region of Italy, even though you're in the heart of Lisbon, Portugal. Delicious cocktails and wines, amazing beef carpaccio, savory pappadelle al ragu and decadent tagliolini al tartufo. Highly recommend! #killerfoodieadventures
This has to rank amongst the best Italian restaurants we have experienced. And it’s not just the quality of the food and the efforts to have the best ingredients, it’s the decor, the open plan kitchen and the great staff interaction. This is an excellent dining experience, especially if you have the opportunity to eat at the bar and watch the show that the kitchen staff put on for you. Everyone was very friendly and helpful and wanting to please. Very well run restaurant which will take a lot to beat. Just getting there and seeing their red charcuterie cutter behind the bar should have been a clue of what was to come. And it was so good we were there two night’s later again. Eating here is going to as mandatory as having to pay the toll to cross the bridge every time we drive there. We will return for sure.
A very fancy restaurant, yet the atmosphere is quite pleasant. Be sure you’ve made a reservation. The staff are incredibly friendly – all evening they did everything possible to make sure our dinner was perfect. The food is very delicious. The portions are quite large, so one dish per person will be enough. Make sure to try the desserts – they’re top-tier here.
Probably the best pastas we had on whole trip. Excellent form and flavour. The steak gnocchi was superb as well. The tiramisu is pretty good but not the best. Still not too bad. Pinna Cotta not to bad too. Nonetheless the food is a different level from many restaurants.
