    Our family visited Lisbon for the first time in March and found this gem of a restaurant. The staff here is very friendly and helpful, and their food selection is top-notch. Every dish we ordered was fresh and delicious. The atmosphere is relaxed, and there is a fantastic drink menu to choose from. We saw single diners as well as large groups. Everyone was having a good time. We were so impressed by this restaurant that we returned two more times before the end of our vacation. Highly, highly recommend.

    We were very pleased with our meal. We began with a salad nizzi ( think nicoise) that was full of fresh greens, hard boiled eggs, tuna, and olives. You add balsamic vinegar and olive oil to taste with good results. Then my wife enjoyed prawns and shellfish over home made pasta, while I got a so called pizza. It was very good unless you are looking for a traditional circular pizza with mostly red sauce and cheese. This was elliptical, light on the red sauce, with greens, prosciutto, a scoop of burrata, and balsamic drizzle. They were crowded, and deservedly so.

    Dessert: Semifreddo

    Great service. Great ambiance. Server was kind & answered any questions we had regarding the menu. Specially I am looking for gluten free options due to dietary needs. I found on a bottom part of the menu that there is gluten free dough and gluten free pasta for an additional 2€ per plate. Reading the reviews, I went for the Pasta Alla Forma. Our server was just the kindest, she came to ask if gluten was intolerance or an allergy. Then proceeded to inform that the topping on the pasta plate which included cheese, mushrooms, and truffle oil contained gluten but if we would like it could be made gluten free, which we did. It was delicious. Unfortunately they do not have a gluten free bread option for any appetizers or plates that include it. Also ordered the Semifreddo for dessert. If you're a chocolate lover. Please do yourself the favor and get it. It's so good!

    The food was delicious! We loved everything we tried from the bruschetta and meats & cheeses board, to each of our main dishes. I had the linguine with prawns and it was so good!

    Spaghetti with shrimp awesome!!

    Our first time in Lisbon. Al Garage was recommended by our hotels front desk. We're glad we went. We didn't have a reservation but they accommodated us since we walked a distance to get there. Food was great. The service was excellent!! Would visit them again if we ever come back to Lisbon.

    Pasta Alla Forma: The Specialty of the House, Spaghetti made in a Grana Padano form, with Porcini Mushrooms, White Truffle Olive Oil and Ham

    Yum!! We were seated quickly and had wonderful attentive service. We asked the server for his recommendations and he was QUICK to show us and talk about the special (Pasta Alla Forma: Spaghetti made in a Grana Padano form, with Porcini Mushrooms, White Truffle Olive Oil and Ham) They made the pasta in a giant cheese wheel it was delicious! Location was perfect, close to downtown, and cute outdoor seating option. There was a ton of indoor seating and it was a great restaurant if you're traveling with one other person or a larger group. Seafood options looked great and pizzas were tempting/a popular order from what we saw leaving the kitchen.

    Shrimp app - outstanding

    Some seating outdoors and large restaurant inside. The menu is pretty epic. We were extremely happy diners with a sear outside. Three of us had the fried mozzarella app and a shrimp app that we would get again in a minute! In addition the entrees were wonderful. See pics. Really excellent Italian food In Portugal who woulda thought. Definitely will go again before we leave. The staff were nice enough but not overly friendly by any means. Great desserts too. This is a restaurant where you want three or four selections and its tough to make a decision. Something for everyone! Visited a second time and ended up with 4 different wait staff. Extremely annoying to say the least to pay the bill and get out of that joint

    Pizza and penguins! :)

    Our hotel recommended Al Garage. My meal was delicious but the 4/5 unfortunately was due to my husband's pasta and my daughter's pizza being mediocre. The staff was friendly, though we had 3 different waiters because no one spoke English (which was fine!). Wine selection and food selection was excellent... many choices!!! I wanted a fettuccine Alfredo type dish and although it specifically was not on the menu, our waitress was able to find something comparable. The decor is simple but cute and it's as very busy, which is a good sign! We had an enjoyable time and the people watching was fun as well. If you are looking for some good Italian food in Lisbon, I would check it out!

    Caprese pizza

    Excellent food and ambiance. We really enjoy the atmosphere and the pizza. The menu is incredible with many choices of pizza, pasta and main dishes. The service was good. Very busy but very attentive. I would recommend.

    After two years since our first visit, we came back and enjoyed another great meal here…read more The ambiance and decor was still mostly the same with a vase mor two switched in placement! Table seating was by the front and along one wall with the rest at the bar that dominated the middle of the restaurant. Menu was almost the same with a great selection of seafood ranging from tacos, ceviche appetizers to pasta, fish and shellfish entrees with many Asian flavors. The Peruvian ceviche was very nice with thin slices of fish, radish and red onions. The corn nuts added a nice crunch. It also came with a small bowl of toasted crostini chips. The cuttlefish tacos were delicious.. Big chunks of cuttlefish topped with tomatoes and placed on a small tortilla with a white sauce. We actually ordered just one but comped a pair. Sea bass was the best with its crunchy pan fried skin side topped with nori and the moist fish went perfectly with the barley and miso sauce combination. Even the bok choy was cooked well. The squid ink pasta had a mild sauce but scallops were nicely seared. At the end the owner offered us a shot of ginja to try for our first time. It was sweet but at least lower in alcohol,16%. Another great meal and service even two years later. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting some seafood here in Lisbon.

We were so glad we went, it was an outstanding meal. The restaurant is not large and mainly has seating for 2. Other reviews complained about waits, but it would be worth it. We ate early and were lucky to arrive when another couple was leaving. Service was quick and very friendly--and like many places here they spoke good English. They do not have a wide drink list, but we had a bottle of the house wine that was really good and complemented food perfectly. For appetizers, we had bread basket, miss cheese, and the caprese. Get the bread basket if you get either. I had not heard of that cheese but it was great, semi-soft with a nice flavor. The caprese salad was nice also, fresh tomato's and mint as opposed to basil. For the main course, I had the seafood paella that was served in a hot pan right from the stove. This was excellent with rich saffron flavor and a nice mix is seafood--the calamari and mussels were particularly good. I loved it. With the said, my wife's sea bass might have been better. The whole fish was served, nice and fresh. It was cooked and flavored absolutely perfectly. The skin was crisp while the fish was moist and just melted in your mouth. Completely wonderful. It came with potatoes and some steamed vegetables, a superb dish. Definitely worth a visit!

    Very small and local. Very inexpensive. Service was very nice. Definitely a step up from the many…read more"tourist restaurants" with people urging you in and plastic food pictures a few blocks away. We especially liked the soup, bread, and wine. Nothing fancy but good.

There is one private booth table which we selected. It is a tapas style restaurant, so for two of us we ordered 6 dishes plus a dessert. The staff explains the menu and that a lower section shows larger dishes. We loved everything that we ordered but especially the lobster roll (their take don't expect a Maine style roll), sardine nigiri, garlic shrimp (the sauce was incredible and came with bread) and the dessert. The food came out very quickly but we were having dinner at 7pm. The total for two people was around 80 euro with the discount, but we did not get drinks other than still water.
