“ Very nice restaurant. Unlike some other restaurants on the street this one did not feel like a tourist trap. It had a nice amount of dishes to choose from. Unfortunately we had to wait quite long until the food arrived however it was worth the wait. ”
“ Albeit not the fastet ones this nice little gem in downtown Baixa rewarded us with delicious fish and sea-food! As a bonus we had the nicest waiter in all Lisbon: thanks soo much Kamal! ”
“ They market themselves as Italian and Portuguese cuisine. We ordered fried shrimp as an appetizer, beef lasagna, and spaghetti carbonara. The food tastes good, and quantity is sufficient, but it is definitely NOT authentic Italian. They soak their food in cheese like crazy! Italian lasagna is no where close to that. Not bad, but just not what you would anticipate. It is more like a Tex-Mex when it comes to Mexican cuisine. They have a tray of butter and cheeses on the table to welcome you, but be aware this is NOT free. If you open any of that tray, they will charge you. Their indoor seating is poorly ventilated, and the kitchen makes it feel like straight out of hell. ”
“ The food was amazing. Our server, Shan, was absolutely sweet. Would 10/10 recommend! ”
“ So....this was good, it was hot and tasted good..... I had garlic bread with cheese, which had very little garlic on it and tons of parmesan cheese instead of melted cheese but it still tasted ok, for my main I had lasagne with meat sauce and fries, the lasagne tasted good and the fries were homemade and delicious .... big question is would I come back again yes I probably would. ”
