Pastries de Bacalhau - the crust was not brown enough. May be longer time. The stuffing was flavorful but it's more the cod taste than the flavored mash potatoes which I prefer. I actually prefer the other local restaurant I tried the night before better. Caldo Verde - The potatoe part of the soup is great. Perfect viscosity but the flavor is not. It wasn't salty enough but more importantly is the flavor of the veggies and the spicy sausage they supposed to use that makes the soup taste different. Grilled giant pawns - The flavor of the prawns is not as intense as expected and hope to be. The squid ink pasta also lacked of flavor. That's disappointing. With the prawns, they should at least use the prawn shell to make sauce for the pastas. The pasta was tasteless, didn't even use enough garlic and olive oil to flavor it up. Seafood rice - Another disappointment. They used fish, small mussels and little bit of shrimp pieces along with some bigger whole shrimps and mussels. However, the rice was lack of the true seafood flavor that made from shell fish. They also added cilantro which overwhelmed the whatever left of seafood flavor. The lemonade was not a sweet lemonade but sour. Fyi. It's not fair we just went to another restaurant in the neighborhood and everything was so much better but people should know.

We started with the shrimp appetizer Prawns Al Ajillo - a deliciously simple dish of shrimp gently cooked in olive oil, garlic and seasonings. We ate it with the crusty garlic bread and it was devine. We shared one serving of seafood rice - a soupy rice dish with shrimp, lobster and the most delicious little Portuguese clams. The rice is cooked in a delicately seasoned, wine infused broth. So simple and so delicious. That's the theme of the food we ate at Pinoquio. We ate outdoors and were able to get a table when we arrived before 7 - the typical dinner hour starts at 8.

From the Rossio Square area, you have to make it up about 4 or 5 flights of stairs, passing by other eating places, but don't give up, and Solido it at the top! You will be rewarded for your perservance! It was nearing 10 pm at night when we arrived and was worried if they would have seating given the size and a Saturday night. But we lucked out and they took us in with little delay! Food was good and it came quickly - some spicy shrimps and Portugese style steak with bacon. Without asking, they brought us some fries. Not to worry about language, the staff spoke and understood English perfectly. They featured a fado player, guitar player and a singer - a really great trio and finished our evening of trying to experience a bit of the Portugese culture. So a somewhat not well known place that is a bit off the beaten path, but based on our limited sampling, we can say we really enjoyed the experience!

You will climb up to the second floor to be seated in what looks like a large living room serviced by a dumb waiter. Don't let the size fool you, they can fit about 30-40 people in there. Lovely servers hustle to bring you appetizers, drinks (even mocktails), yummy food and desserts. I enjoyed everything from bread, olives, and olive oil with a sardine pate, to a fresh salmon filet with fresh vegetables and a "light as air" mango mousse. I could have passed on the rice and you will be charged for a large bottle of water if you ask for it. But, it's the entertainment that makes you hungry for more. I am a new fan to Fado music. Solidó is a very solid choice for wining and dining. Obrigado!

The choco frito had a light batter on top and you could tell it was really fresh because it was so light and bouncy. The bolinhos de bacalhau were also a highlight; creamy potato filling with codfish mixed in. The asparagus and jamon with scrambled eggs provided a nice balance to our meal. I'm always a sucker for well made scrambled eggs. My favorite dish by far was the arroz de pato. It was packed with smoked duck flavor, and accented with charred sausage and bacon on top. The dishes were on the smaller end, so we ended up getting 5-6 dishes for three people.

My favorite Portugal/Spain travel YouTuber, Tony Galvez, highly recommended this spot for this dish. Who am I to argue with Tony?? Upon arrival, there were at least twenty people in line. In a town where there are hundreds of places to eat, this in itself was notable. We cued up despite being starving. We ended up waiting maybe 20 minutes because we were a party of 2. Larger parties waited much longer. Tables are mostly in front of the restaurant. If you are self-conscious at all, something to keep in mind. Service is professional and prompt. We shared the salad misto. It was so fresh and lightly dressed, we ate the entire thing! The chicken is the star of the entire restaurant. Every table ordered it for good reason. The chicken itself is incredibly juicy and seasoned perfectly with simple salt and pepper from what I could tell. Then you spoon on the sauce and the dish just comes alive. I should have taken an after photo. My plate looked like a wild animal attacked that thing, no meat left whatsoever! We ordered the rice as our side. Great decision. It soaked up all the lovely juices and added to the whole experience. Highly recommend. Many tables ordered fries which is kind of traditional in Portugal. For dessert, I had the wonderful rice pudding, and my husband got the gelato. Generous portions! And light. Good finish for a delightful meal. Do not miss Bonjardim when in Lisbon. Just be sure to come with only one other person or split up if you want to get seated more quickly. When you see that food, you will want to get to it asap!

It was good but not outstanding. One order of spaghetti bolognese. That one was average. We just arrived from Barcelona a few days before Lisbon and we were missing sangria so we ordered one pitcher. It's not as good as the ones in Barcelona but then again this is not Barcelona. For dessert we ordered 3 ice cream and a tiramisu. The ice cream was over-priced at 8 Euro each.
