Too expensive for what it offers. The atmosphere is quite nice; it gives this roots vibe of cucina and Italy. However, it has three main problems that make the overall experience not very good: 1) Service After we sat, we literally waited 30 min for someone to approach us and ask what we wanted. This is after 10-15min trying to call the waitpeople. The food took a long time to arrive, and not all plates arrived on time. So prepare to eat a small portion, wait for, I don’t know how long for the next one, and so on. 2) Food portion What was explained to us was that the portions were to share. So order multiple plates and share them with your friends. The problem, as already mentioned, are it’s one plate at a time, you wait a lot for it to arrive, and when it comes, it’s over in minutes. 3) Price It’s expensive. Period. Considering the portion size and other experiences, it’s costly. Additionally, they don’t take cards. So you must pay with cash (the paper thing) as the Incas and Mayas used to do. Is the food good? Yes. Is the price worth it? No. Will I go back? No.

Fabulous Italian food and the carasau lasagna and tortellini were excellent. The food melts in your mouth and we ate every bite. Italian beers are served here as well. They only take cash and try to make a reservation before hand. The restaurant has an overflow area and the location is unique. This restaurant should not be missed when visiting Lisboa.

Amazing discovery! True Italian cuisine, seems made by your nonna and everything is super tasty. The risotto is unbelievable, but the pizza frita surprised me even more!

Amazing Italian food in Lisbon. All the food ordered was great but the standout where the meatballs and mash which were unbelievably soft and delicious. Highly recommend. The restrooms were average.

Very cosy and nice. With friendly staff and delicious food.

Beautiful Italian cuisine. Overall amazing taste but quite expensive. If you care about high quality food and original recipes do not hesitate to go to this place. Just be prepared that you will not be super full at the end.

Really cozy Italian family restaurant. Tasty food, plates to share, try their pizzas and meatballs. Tiramisu is mind-blowing! Make sure you book it in advance, it is always full.

Read some mixed reviews of this place and I think that some people are just way too fussy. This is a very cool, slightly chaotic, but very efficiently run place serving delicious authentic Italian food with very friendly staff. It's off the beaten track so deliberately not targeting the tourist crowd. The spinach and ricotta ravioli with truffle sauce was the star of our evening. Highly recommended!

A classic already everytime I’m in Lisbon. Super friendly staff and menu is pretty amazing and authentic. Worth a visit

Disappointed. The first time I went to Osteria was in 2019, the quality has fallen drastically. Lasagna is basically crispy bread slices with some ingredients on top (really strange), the beetroot pasta is not as tasty as before. The waitress is not really friendly. No value for money.

This is a straightforward italian home-food restaurant. The concept is simple and consistent throughout from food to location. The restaurant is in a popular neighborhood, in a back alley, it has a small open dining room, walls furred in italian posters, three big windows, unmatching furniture, kitsche pope memorabilia, and an informal and slow paced atmosphere. The food is italian, uncomplicated and super tasty. There is a lunch menu, but the a la carte options are equally quick to get served. Some well known italian dishes are here prepared following some obscure (but authentic) local recipe. This is the case of the lasagna, with its crunchy pasta leaves loosely covered in sauce and herbs. Or the pizza appetizer, shaped in little balls (not disks) of pizza dough. Friendly service. There are a few steps at the entrance, making it not very accessible to wheelchairs. And there is no ATM payments (nor internet coverage, although there is free wifi).

Very very tasty food, very well seasoned and clearly all homemade which for me is just a game breaker! Very cozy and small italian place that makes you feel like you have traveled to Italy. Very very charismatic and kind staff

Love this place , one of my favorites in Lisbon for italian food . There are so many different options and everything is delicious. The space is super cozy and cute

Amazing Osteria in Lisbon! If you are looking for a typical italian home meal, this is the place 🤩 There is no bad option here! The concept of the restaurant is to share so, as we were 4, we ordered 4 different plates! We started with the focaccia - which is amazing - and then we got the vegetarian raviollis, the amazing pasta with pesto di papa Rosa, the famous ragu and finally the vegetarian lasagna. At the end, just to finish, we tried the three different dessert option. The chocolate cake is a must and the tiramissu a classic 😍 I’m sorry for the lack of pictures, but the food was too good to way! 😉

It's a statement that the best restaurant we've been to on our Portugal trip was an Italian one. Super tasty, nice ambience and many vegetarian options. Try the Lasagna!

This place is so good! Off the beaten track on a quiet street. I got the pizza balls to start, truffle pasta and the pannacota. The waiter was super sweet .. highly recommend

Liked it but didn't love it. Cool place down a side street/alley, so it was quiet and enjoyable. Feels like a true "local" place. Broken up into 2 separate dining areas, one across the alley from the other, with some outdoor seating in nice weather. Staff was very nice, but seemed a little understaffed based on how busy it was. Menu has several unique items, which we liked, but is quite light on actual pasta dishes, so beware of that if you are really craving a lot of pasta options. Everything we had was tasty, but 2 things stood out to us: 1) all 3 items came to the table just barely warmer than room temperature, and 2) portions didn't seem to reflect the price point. Quality ingredients, and excellent flavor, but I expected a bit more for the price of each individual item. We were the 2nd table to sit and order for the evening, so we were ahead of the "rush" and thus expected our food to be hot when it arrived. We have heard the same criticism from friends of ours that went there as well. Will likely give it one more chance since we live 2 blocks away. I would rate it a 3.5 if 1/2 stars were available. Not worthy of 4 stars based on our experience, so I chose to round down rather than up.

This kitchen bangs out quick pasta dishes and offers friendly service. The quality is middling. The unleavened bread-based lasagna was one of the best items. The pumpkin risotto fell below expectation

Italian cuisine at its best. Intense, busy and authentic atmosphere. Try to get a table outside - it is a bit more easygoing.

Possibly some of the best pastas I’ve ever had. We ordered - Meatballs. All the rage about it was 100% worth it. I could eat this forever… 9.5/10 - Truffle Tortellini. The sauce was beautiful!!! And the stuffing was amazing. Favorite of the night 10/10 - Crunchy Lasagna & Prosciutto. We were so curious about crunchy lasagna and wowwww so good! 9/10 - Pannacota. Boyfriend ordered this & I regretted not getting it! Was sooo nice. The vibe of this place was also so adorable! Food also came out nice & quickly. I’d recommend making a booking, it’s a small place!

True gem in the soulful Madragoa. Justification for the world’s obsession for Italian Cuisine. Only downside is not accepting card payment.

Authentic traditional Italian restaurant. Walking into a small restaurant in Italy. We got 3 plates to share between 2. All were amazing. I highly recommend. Atmosphere is super casual. Price fits really well with the quality and quantity of food. I am definitely coming back to try the other ones.

We tried 3 different pasta dishes and they were very tasty. The most special was the one on the picture. Bring some cash cause card payment are not accepted
