    Amazing visit to Rocco. Amazing drinks Splendid delicious starters and mains. Service superb. Must go to establishment

    Mushroom risotto

    Rocco is worth all of the internet hype. We were a bit skeptical that it could be a tourist trap, but decided to try to walk in on our last night in Lisbon just in case, and because we were craving Italian food. We are SO glad we went. It is just as beautiful as it looks like online if not more so. We were seated at the bar, and loved getting our bartenders recommendations on what to order. We needed up going with the steak tartare, the croquettes, the Caesar salad, the mushroom risotto, and the lasagna. The starters were all absolutely fantastic as were the cocktails. We both found the mains a bit lacking - the lasagna was bland and the risotto was a bit runny, but overall still very tasty and hit the spot. The meal ended with their delicious homemade limoncello! I can't wait to get a reservation for the main restaurant the next time I'm in Lisbon!

    On first night is Lisbon, we were able to snag a last minute reservation for 5 people at 10pm at night (which was perfect since we were all still jet lagged and wanted to sleep-group was NY-NJ based) From the moment you walk in, it was like you were almost taken back in time. Classy, Vintage with proper Modern Touches. The ambiance was just stunning and we loved how each room had their own special vibe going on. I also thought it was really cool that you could also snag a chef seat where you sit at what looks like a bar top and watch the cooks do their thing. The service was absolutely marvelous all around. Truly top notch. The food, every single bite was perfection and the dessert was so mouthwatering I still can't stop thinking about it. This place was really a treat. I would come to Portugal again just to eat here.

    This was our last stop on our last night in Portugal! They don't take reservations and were booked for the night, so we came back to to see if we could just get dessert or drinks. We got seated at a little table and received complimentary flavored nuts. They were a good snack! My friend ordered a Manhattan Roc. When we saw the bar have two seats open, we asked to move. I ordered the Rouge Bourbon tea and the millefoglie di nocciole del piemonte. The dessert was good, but got too sweet towards the end. I loved my tea and the service was good. Before leaving I checked out the restroom and it had no pretty floral wallpaper starting from the staircase! I recommend going here if you have the chance.

    It's been 10 months... honestly. Amazing service, can't beat the ambiance anywhere. The food? the food can stand for its self. 10/10. I came sweaty and underdressed (I am embarrassed and am sorry, next time I will be prepared). As a solo traveler, I always appreciate when I'm treated like I'm not an inconvenience, which is normal when traveling alone. I felt at home here even in my disheveled state. The whole experience was great. I'm excited to come back as I have recommend this place to all my friends and family as one of MANY Reasons to visit Portugal. This place dosent need my review but I need to come back here.

    I went here during my solo trip to Portugal and had the best time. The food was absolutely incredible. The service was fantastic. They came over and greeted me and offered me a glass of sparkling that they recommend that is from the area. They put a variety of bread on my table, and I went with their seasonal selection of truffle pasta, the truffle pasta was absolutely amazing. The ambiance was stunning I will be back during my next visit

    I made reservations well in advance but still had to wait over 10-15min past my reservation time for a seat. Upon sitting down, I noticed a lot of empty tables next to us that never got filled throughout the entire dinner so I don't understand why we were seated so late. We ordered the risotto veggie and lasagna. The risotto was good however unfortunate the lasagna lacked flavour. The decor is beautiful and I love the vibe of the restaurant however; the food was just ok and wasn't anything special. Unfortunately we didn't have too much of a pleasant experience as the fellow table next to us kept giving us looks and staring at us which made us uncomfortable throughout the dinner even though we didn't even know each other or exchanged conversations.

    What a unique place with special food. I wanted to try everything on the menu! It's a must visit, at least at the bar if not the full restaurant. The interior, the walls, the stairs, it's all super cool. Friendly staff, I can't wait to come back!

    Rocco is an experience and a wonderful meal. I was greeted by a delightful doorman that set the tone for the entire night. We had a reservation but had to wait for around 20 minutes for our table, we didn't mind too much because they seat you at a "waiting" table where you can order drinks and then have them transferred to your dinner table. I ordered the lamb and it was incredible. The ambience is enough to go back but the food is the reason to stay.

    UPDATE: Beware of shady billing practices here. We charged to our room, and when we received the itemized bill, we found they'd added an unauthorized $16€ gratuity. We complained to the hotel, and they took it off, but it's super suspect, especially after they'd charged for a (similarly priced) cocktail that wasn't ours. Super cool look and vibe. The food, at least for dinner, was excellent. Breakfast is a completely different story, and I am not sure how anyplace could be this disappointing for breakfast, but they manage. The real issue at both seatings was the service. It's absolutely terrible. We felt like we were an afterthought and forgotten about. Our first drinks took came pretty quickly, and then, I mentioned I'd like a glass of wine with my starter. Waiter said he'd get Sommelier, who never showed. My starter came, and quite some time after finishing, the aaiter came to clear the plate and saw no wine glass. My wife ordered a 2nd cocktail, and I waited for the sommelier. He came and I ordered an excellent glass of wine. About 10 minutes passed, and we called to thr the waiter to see where my wife's cocktail was. Our plates came, so we started eating. Her drink came as she was finishing her last bites. The waiter dropped off dessert menus, and we didn't see him again. After some time, the food-runner finally asked if we wanted something. At this point, we declined and asked for the bill. The waiter finally dropped it and, insult to injury, had charged us for someone else's cocktail. Honest mistake? I'm not so sure. The manager fixed the bill, and we left. The food was great, but the experience was not nearly worth the €220. On the plus side, we save €100+ for the extra wine cocktail and dessert that we would have stayed for had the service matched the cuisine.

    Exceptional dining experience and the service was just as impressive . The restaurant itself is beautiful. We had an appetizer, main course and dessert. Everything was top notch. My favorite was the truffle pasta. It was so good I was full and wanted to keep eating it. We wanted to go back another night while we were in Lisbon but they were all booked. With that being said I would make a reservation far in advance.

    Stopped in for drinks while walking down the street. One of the most beautiful and unique places I have been in. Drinks were made to perfection and staff were BEYOND friendly and attentive. Will definitely be stopping back in next time I'm in Lisbon.

    Trendy spot with premium local ingredients located in the Ivens hotel. The hotel and restaurant are perched on the hill of the baixa-chiado neighborhood. There is a large bar with counter seating and a dining room below. The decor is stunning - modern and sophisticated but with some old world charm. We sat at the counter and service was excellent. The waitstaff were always available and very personable. The oysters I had here were the best I had in Portugal Amanda contenders for a top spot internationally as well. The scarlet shrimp risotto did justice to this amazing ingredient (and featured an interesting cracker of sorts made from the prawn shells). The other dishes we ordered were solid and well executed. Overall I would certainly recommend Rocco to those visiting Lisbon looking for a more upscale exposure to local ingredients.

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!
