Found this place in a very touristy location but the menu looked good so we tried it. Calamari and Prawns for starter as well as Prosciutto & Melon.
For mains we shared two pasta dishes between three. We had Spaghetti Amatriciana with home made chilli oil. It was amazing ! We also ordered Gnocchi Pomodoro which was good but portion could have been bigger. They have an amazing selection of gelatos but that was for another day. We ordered two Tiramisu to share between four. Glad we did because the portions were generous. Probably the best tiramisu I’ve tried outside Italy. Overall cost probably more than average restaurant in Portugal. However we did order a three course meal with three Sangrias and a coffee. Although a little plmoee expensive than the usual tourist restaurant, the food was well worth the money. If you want a nice meal and a change from the Portuguese food while in Lisbon you must try this place. My only reservation which is not only applicable to this place is that they offer breadsticks with tuna pate ( which we declined ) only to se this on the menu as a chargeable item. Either offer it for no cost as a service item or leave it to the guests to order if they choose. Don’t place it on the table as a stealth charge. You don’t need to copy the other restaurants in Lisbon. Not all of them do this to be fair. Your food is incredible. Let that do the talking. Overall highly...
Read moreWe had wandered along to the Time out market and though we'd planned on eating there, we hadn't found ourselves grabbed by anything and therefore decided to walk around a bit more and then find somewhere to eat. With the sun out and it being warm and atmospheric we decided to find a restaurant in Praca do Comercio and went for Nosolo Italia because it was popular. Most other restaurants only had 1 or 2 people seated. We were greeted in a friendly manner, seated promptly and the service was absolutely perfect. Couldn't be faulted.
My husband had sea bass which he really enjoyed and I had a ravioli dish which was a meat ravioli served in a cream sauce with mushrooms and ham. The prices were what you would expect in this sort of area - more than the meals warranted but you're also paying for the location. Our lunch (2x main meals and 2 x medium beers) came to around 50 euros. As lunches go in lovely surroundings, with friendly and attentive staff sat in the sun it was great. If judging purely on the Italian food - it was expensive for what it was. But I couldn't fault the staff and the location. If you want to sit in the sun, people watch and take in the atmosphere then this is a...
Read moreStopped off for what me and my girlfriend hoped would be a chill place to have a drink and take in the views, sadly wasn't the case. We ordered 2 ciders and TAP water. Shortly after the order arrived, the waitress opened the water for us and poured 2 glasses, it looked to be tap water in a recycled bottle as the lid was loose and looked pretty non discript. When it came to paying, I was of course charged for bottled water which I challenged on the bill. The bar man oddly compared it to ordereding a burger and receiving shrimps and because they were partially consumed you had to pay, this is the kind of miss hap I would come to expect in this establishment. He then asked our waitress what we ordered, she outright lied and said she gave us the option and we said bottled when in fact we underlined TAP. I begrudgingly paid whilst calling the place a con. That's ultimately what this bar/restaurant is, a tourist trap. If you're in to poor service and paying over the odds for mediocrity this place is for you. If you have anything about you, save your time and money and pick one of the thousands of great...
