One of the best vegan restaurants I've ever been to! - Edit
The Bruschetta was out of this world, and the pasta was insanely good as well! I'll go there every time I visit Lisbon from now on!

Delicious! - Edit
Fantastic Italian dishes made vegan! There is no real entrance to the restaurant - you have dinner on a terrace so don’t be alarmed that you somehow missed it. The team was incredible and so sweet.

Don’t skip this one! - Edit
We had such a lovely dinner here. The staff is so nice, it has a quiet terrace and the food was so. good. The portions of the starters are big, so be aware of that because you are going to want to order everything, like me, and be too full, haha. But the staff provided me with a container to take the rest home, so all’s well. Make sure to order the chick’n’ as a starter, it was great.

delicious dishes, poor desserts - Edit
We ordered a pizza with sun-dried tomatoes and olives and a creamy gnocchi, they were extremely delicious.
Read moreThen, we ordered a tiramisu and a panna cotta, they were disappointing. The panna cotta's caramel was so burnt that we felt the burnt taste. The tiramisu was not like a tiramisu , it was something else.
Pros: They helped us without prior reservation
Cons: They do not accept any cards except local cards

Amazing experience - Edit
The co-owner works the front of the house, her Italian partner is the chef. She is an absolute delight and manages to run things smoothly. We ordered the soy skewers with a salad as a starter. The description does not do the dish justice. It was absolutely incredible and enough for two to share easily.
Read moreWe ordered the lasagne and although it freaked me out a little, the Radbit. Obviously I've never eaten a bunny so I tried to think of it as generic fake meat. There is a large wine selection by the bottle and nice beers and wine by the glass. I do have some constructive criticism, but that does not minimize the awesomeness of the food, or the lovely vibe overall.
We both felt the food was truly delicious, but just too salty. I feel like I'm seeing this in a lot of restaurants, but it is so unnecessary. The other thing was that the food needed to be served hotter. It was warm, but very quickly became cool and it would be nicer to get the food really hot from the oven so you don't feel you need to rush to eat before it is cold.
Pros: Food is brilliant, Delightful service, Prices are reasonable
Cons: Saltiness

One of the best meals I’ve ever had - Edit
If more restaurants like this existed, the world would be a purer place. It’s owned by a Sicilian couple and was one of the best meals I’ve ever had - creative vegan home cooking at its finest. If I could give 6 stars, I would! We were absolutely blown away by the quality, richness of flavor, customer service and ambiance. To die for!

The food was amazing here! Small place with only a few tables so make a reservation in advance. We tried pizza, lasagna, and tiramisu. You would never know it was vegan.

Also, this is in the heart of “old Lisbon”, so after lunch/dinner you can enjoy a walk around Alfama.

Best italian in town - Edit
It doesn't matter if you're vegan or not - this is for sure one of the best Italians you will ever have the opportunity to go to. The food is delicious and really feels like a homemade meal. The owners are super nice and will make you feel like you're at home. Really the place to visit when in town!

Amazing Italian Restaurant - Edit
I was lucky enough to get a booking in Al Sanpietrino Trattoria on our family trip to Lisbon. It was a little difficult to find as there is no signage, but the chef, Alex appeared from a small door where the kitchen is, and told us that they would be opening shortly. The restaurant is small inside but beautifully decorated; authentic, intimate and atmospheric. There is seating for about 12 people, so it really feels like you are in somebody's home for dinner!
Read moreFor starters, we chose the Bruschetta Caprese and Piadina Pizza Mamma Irma, both were superb, the pizza is huge (as our server had advised us!) and would have been enough for 4 as a starter. The menu looks so great that I would have liked to have tried everything on it. I had the Lasagne alla Bolognese for my main, it was absolutely perfect. My wife had the Spaghetti alla Carbonara and my kids both had the Tagliatelle al Pomodoro - all of us agreed that the food was simply amazing. The kids both said that it was the best Italian food they had ever had. For dessert, we had the Tiramisu which again was amazing.
Overall, the experience was incredible. Hands down the best restaurant I've ever been to, the fact that it is vegan and run by vegans makes it even better. Even the prices were unbelievable value. This place is unmissable.
Pros: Everything.

Vegan Italian food that tastes like the real thing! The amatriciana was truly amazing. Their menu has interesting dishes instead of the usual, stereotypical stuff. Seriously, don't skip this place.
Read moreThe owners, a Swiss woman and an Italian man, are very nice. Don't forget to reserve a table: it's a small place and busy. Payment is cash or Portuguese card.
A bit hard to find since it's not marked, but I managed with Google maps!

Delicious authentic Italian vegan food - Edit
This is a delightful small restaurant in a wonderful old neighborhood in Lisbon. A reservation is required. The food was delicious. We had the Bruschetta which was so good we were speechless, the Lasagna & the Rigatoni - both delicious. The Tiramisu is amazing - be sure to get that, or the Wine sauce with the Panna Cotta - that was amazing as well. I almost ordered double desserts😄
