Ruoto - Ristorante Italiano — Restaurant in Lisbon

I recently had the pleasure of dining at a fabulous pizza restriction, and I cannot stop singing its praises! From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed by a warm and inviting atmosphere, setting the stage for an unforgettable dining experience.

First and foremost, the service was exceptional. The staff greeted me with genuine smiles and guided me through the menu with great enthusiasm. They were patient and attentive, making sure I had everything I needed while also respecting my personal restrictions.

Now, let's talk about the pizza. Oh my, where do I begin? Each bite was a heavenly explosion of flavor that left my taste buds dancing with joy. The crust was perfectly crispy on the outside, yet chewy and fluffy on the inside, striking that ideal balance. The tomato sauce was bursting with freshness and tanginess, beautifully complementing the generous toppings. I truly appreciated the attention to detail and the high-quality ingredients used in every single pizza.

What impressed me the most was the ability of the restriction to cater to a wide range of dietary restrictions, without compromising on taste or quality. Being someone with specific dietary requirements, it was a relief to find such a pizza restriction that could accommodate them. They offered gluten-free crusts, vegetarian and vegan options, and even dairy-free cheese alternatives. This dedication to inclusivity and culinary excellence truly sets this place apart from the rest.

Beyond the fantastic food and service, the ambiance of the restaurant was perfect for a delightful evening. The cozy yet modern décor created a relaxing and intimate environment that made me feel right at home. Coupled with soft lighting and pleasant music, it all added to the overall charm of the place.

In conclusion, this pizza restriction exceeded all my expectations. The incredible service, delectable pizzas, and thoughtfulness towards dietary restrictions combined to make this dining experience truly exceptional. If you're looking for a place that focuses on delivering top-notch food while respecting your personal dietary needs, this is the perfect spot for you. I guarantee you'll leave with a satisfied stomach, a smile on your face, and a desire to come...

Another edit after the reply of the new owner: so you think you are better than people and call them ignorant if you are fooling them with the reviews you bought? that's disgusting from your part. At least be honest, no more no less. And maybe try to learn to use other than small plastic container for oil and piri piri sauces, shame🤢

This is an edit of my last visit 1 December 2024. This place is not the same that I went to before. I guess the owner sold the reviews for the new pizza place Ruoto Pizza e Pasta. So if you're coming back for Pizza mode, I will assure it's nothing like it. The pizzas were average I would give 3/5 for mine was the Truffle pizza and 1 for the Margherita as it had no taste. My mark for 1 is for the honesty and disappointment. The service was nice.

Previously: The best pizza we've ever eaten in a long time after Italy. Where should I begin? is it the fresh burratta? the perfect amount of tartuffe or the delicious slim dough? Yes you pay more than the average portuguese restaurant but it spares you the ticket...

I'm very sorry to say this but I'd be embarrassed to serve pizza like this at such a price. The pizza was very small (definitely less than 30 cm), the dough was thick, greasy and slightly burnt from the bottom. Please don't reply "it's a traditional Napoli style pizza" because it's far from it. I confronted one of the staff members at the counter and they told me the same thing trying to convince me this is what the real pizza napoletana looks like and I'm wrong. I entered this place tempted by the photos in the reviews but as others mentioned - these are probably pics from some other/old place. As you can see in the photo, my pizza looked more like a frozen one from a grocery store rather than something that cost 15€. Sadly, I don't...
