La Finestra — Restaurant in Lisbon

The food is kind of okay but not so good, the service however, is one of the worst I've seen recently. First the waiters literally took a total of about an hour or so, not exaggerating a single minute. Then, the waiters are quite distracted and speak a very rough Portuguese, with you needing to repeat things over and over again and them forgetting what you ordered. Took us about 3 attempts to either ask for the menu or even the bill, waiting of course another 30 minutes. Don't expect fast drinks or even a good dessert, waited 20 minutes for bland desserts that tasted like quickly defrosted cakes with an artificial flavor. Next, the price turned out to be way too expensive for what we were offered, we spent about 2 hours on a restaurent in which half of that time was wasted and a total bill of a hefty 85 Euros for 5 normal sized pizzas.

Pizza funghi totally drenched in mushrooms with a paper thin base. Spaghetti bolognese looked and tasted like sauce out of a jar and served without parmesan. Should have gone down the road for a kebab instead the 75€ we spent here as a...

The decoration is a little chaotic, the table towels are the standard ones that are used in Italian restaurants (white with red stripes crossed) but it has about 8-12 different colors on the walls and they don't match so well.

About the food, we only ordered pizzas, they are very good, thin and crunchy. We ate the Modena (spicy salami) and four cheese. The Modena is very tasty and quite spicy but the four cheese one was not the best I have eaten.

It's not a cheap restaurant but overall you eat well for the...
