La Rúcula — Restaurant in Lisbon

High quality delicious dishes. Given that it's located in a touristic area full of mediocre tourist traps, it means even more.

The picture of the tortellini was taken after we ate half of the dish, so in fact it has about 12 pieces. It had generous amount of butter and a few sage leaves which fit perfectly. Texture was al-dante-ish 💪

The carpaccio was really good, thinly sliced and easily tearable, it had generous amount of parmesan, might be because we asked for extra, but anyhow they served us grated parmesan on the side so we were covered 😄 We ordered the version with the Rucula leaves on the top, which ironically costs a little more in a restaurant called Rucula lol. We got bread and butter along with the carpaccio it costs only around two euros.

We ordered the children pizza dish, it was nice, and along with the other two dishes, it was more than enough to complete the meal for 2 adults.

Service was kind...

We recently had lunch at Rucula, and I have mixed feelings about my experience. The baked oven pizza, was good. The prices were reasonable, except for the wine, which was four times more expensive than what you’d pay at a store.

However, the experience was marred by the shrimp pasta. It was disappointing to be served reheated spaghetti with warmed-up store-bought shrimp and a bit of sauce. I was hoping for a freshly prepared dish, not something reheated.

In summary, stick to the pizza...

The stars goes to staff and pizza. To me it wasn't an Italian Restaurant. We have for starter a bruschetta and, to be honest, I don't think that values the Italian name. It was a thick bread and couldn't get the taste of the garlic. The Pizzas though were pretty good. For dessert we ate a chocolate mousse and I thought that they would do like a pretty desert or something, but don't, it was just a cup with mousse dropped in. The service was quickly enough and the staff...
