    Lovely setting with attentive staff. Black squid ink ravioli was delicious and the waiter’s wine recommendation was perfect.

    Food was well thought out, made with fresh ingredients & plated beautifully. The service was beyond our expectations completely. Waiters were friendly and knowledgeable. We absolutely loved this place and can’t wait to visit again.

    The food was amazing. The staff while very friendly, they come too much to the table ask if everything is ok and it becomes annoying. The ambience looses when you have a Dj playing house music while you're eating. It kinda makes it difficult to enjoy the meal and the company.

    My parents and I visited your establishment since I had a reservation for 7:30 pm. It was recommended by the hotel we are staying at. First off the music was too much and I wasn't expecting that for an Italian restaurant. It was an inappropriate choice. It made my experience completely unenjoyable. Now to the food, we started off with sangria & a gin foxtail. The starters, we opted for couvre was small and our algarvia burrata was missing the dried figs and the honey & orange vinagerette. At this point I was already annoyed between the loud music and our starters being ok. Now to the entrees, my parents opted for the ham & mushroom pizza which they seemed to have enjoyed. I was not impressed with my linguine carbonara romana, the greens on top covering up my pasta made the dish not appealing and made it bitter. I did not enjoy my experience here and certainly will not return. The loud music was too much and it went down hill from there. I told my parents I was so upset that I decided on no dessert and just left.

    Polished and conceived. Good food. Good service. You won’t be disappointed in terms of having good food but it’s a n international hotel/ chain restaurant so it’s not a very personal Portuguese experience.

    Opted for the anchovy and pepper bruschetta for entrée. It was fresh and appetising. then tried the Forno Nero risotto and the shrimp linguini for main. Both had a very rich taste. Staff was friendly and the decor was chic. An absolutely pleasant experience.

    My first time at this restaurant. I booked the restaurante because was near the train station and was an Italian restaurant. Was an amazing experience. The space it’s really lovely, wood and iron. The food was really good. We eat entrances, pizza, risotto, and pasta. Everything was really fine. The deserts between chocolate mousse and waffles with Nutella was also good. Thank you

    Good vibe, very clean and nice interior design. The food, on the other side, is kind of mediocre and by no means traditional. The type of italian restaurant that makes carbonara with cream.
