Pasta Non Basta — Restaurant in Lisbon

This is the second Pasta Non Basta, and I didn’t like the first one honestly. This one however, I like allot. Sometimes you get that feeling of wanting a good, hot, homemade tasting, pasta, like à bolognese or carbonara, and this is one of the best places to get it. It might not be fancy or special, but it fills both my stomach and my soul, and that’s all that matters. Everything is good, entrees, pastas, pizzas, and deserts. And the space is very nice, small and cozy and with a little outdoor space, with ambient music.

The one thing I didn’t like was the excessive amount of noise there was, I had trouble speaking with my wife across the table, and that’s terrible for a restaurant, if I want to not talk to people around me I’ll go to a club. The music was too loud which made everyone speak louder. Don’t know if it’s supposed to be a trendy specification, like going to an H&M store, but I would prefer some more tranquility...

To summarize, we wish we ended up getting McDonald’s down the...

This is one of the very few Italian places I used to go, since we share the same neighborhood. Unfortunately, not a nice option anymore. Pasta comes in a weird way, cut in small pieces. So if you are looking for traditional long spaghetti, forget it. My first time ordering a lasagna à bolonhesa was a real flop. The sauce was far from the traditional one. Lacked a good combination of meat and sauce. Zero flavor. I tried to add some salt and pepper with no success. Tasted like a fast food. Very frustrating. Everyone seemed to be worried enough to get as much people possible seated, but forgot to take care of the quality. It needs to come closer to a real Italian way of offering food. I pains me to not recommend the...
