We
shared
our
experience
with
a
family
who
are
regulars.
I
frequented
this
restaurant
in
the
early
90's
so
it's
well
established.
It
cannot
have
been
easy
for
them
to
ride
these
last
years
of
the
pandemic.
Don't
expect
parking
or
a
seat
with
a
view,
though
you
will
remember
that
it's
the
one
overlooking
the
gas/petrol
station.
Inside
-
or
on
the
terrace
outside
-
I
managed
to
forget
about
the
petrol
fumes
and
celebrate
the
good
company.
The
spot
has
been
popular
for
families
for
decades,
and
the
food
I
would
class
as
Italian
rustic
/
home
cooking
style.
The
pizzas
are
not,
as
I
see
it,
the
best
option,
and
not
those
thin
crust
gourmet
ones
with
refined
ingredients.
They
have
a
own
version
that
throws
it
all
in
there,
and
for
those
young'uns
who
have
an
appetite,
go
for
it!
Some
pasta
is
delivered
as
'fridge
fresh'
spun
from
Italy,
and
it
eclipses
the
dried
package
variety.
There
are
tasty
options
on
the
menu.
I
heard
the
Tiramisu
was
good
so
next
time...
I've
not
yet
had
better
than
the
original
from
Treviso
in
Italy
and
some
from
reputable
eateries
in
North
America.
Each
to
their
own,
and
there
are
so
many
versions
out
there...
FYI,
the
name
tiramisu
translates
as
'lift
me
up'
literally,
and
they
used
this
concoction
in
the
1800s
to
help
clients
from
a
local
brothel
to
fulfil
their
marital
duties
(raw
eggs
and
coffee,
mmm).
The
secret
is
in
superior
expresso,
the
quality
of
the
eggs,
the
least
amount
of
sugar
(use
raw
if
possible).
Keep
it
simple
with
a
good
mascarpone
and
cocoa
powder.
All
in
all,
it's
not
the
least
expensive
Italian
in
the
area,
and
I've
preferred
a
few
in
Lisbon
over
all
of
the
Cascais
Estoril
area
offerings.
Why
not
give
this
place
a
try
and
see
how
it
measures
up
to
your
palate.
I
look
forward
to
your
thoughts...
