After arriving we were seated to a lovely seat by the kitchen, it was 15 minutes later that we were acknowledged by a member of staff to take our drinks order after no joy trying to gain their attention. The margarita was delicious while I waited for my also delicious cod bites. The waiter was Young man (Bruno as we asked to ensure he was praised) who briefly explained his apologies that he was only new. If it wasn’t for him the whole restaurant wouldn’t have gotten their food or there would not have been a dirty dish taken from a table. Over the course of our meal we were watching him as he was ran off his feet the rest of the staff done little to none (manager included). It was a busy night and one girl poured 3 glasses of red wine in the 1.5 hour period we were there.

Our final dinner in Lisbon and we discovered this gem of a restaurant just a block from our airbnb apartment. We made a same day reservation online - easy process - and from the moment we set foot in the door we felt welcome. The ambiance is somewhat sophisticated, but relaxed at the same time. Menus had extensive and creative offerings, and wine choices were wide. We had glasses of the house red and a house Pino grigio, both excellent. Appetizers came to the table promptly - a deconstructed caprese salad, and crostini with two interesting (and delicious) toppings. The star of the show was the cacio e pepe I ordered. It was on point - possibly the best I've had. It's a simple to prepare dish, but getting it right is sometimes a challenge. The chef at Obica got it right. The staff at the restaurant were friendly and knowledgeable about the authentic Italian fare, and were happy to make suggestions when we inquired about various plates. Highly recommend this unpretentious but elegant neighborhood restaurant- only wish we had come across it earlier on our Lisbon stay. I'll be dreaming about that cacao e...
