Description: Praise there is aplenty for Come Prima, one of Lisbon���s best-loved traditional Italian restaurants. Being a bit tucked away on Rua Olival, an easy walk from the romantic Tapada das Necessidades gardens, is part of the restaurant���s considerable charm. A reassuringly cosy atmosphere, lovely lighting, wooden tables and chairs and friendly staff - Come Prima hits all the right notes. Expect wonderfully simple Italian classics - tomato soup to tiramisu - freshly prepared with skill and care. Some diners have said the pasta and pizza are the best they���ve ever had. What���s certain is Come Prima hand-make their pasta fresh, and bake their pizzas to perfection in a wood-fired oven. Nice wine list, too. Ask for a table upstairs where it���s cosiest.

Excellent italian restaurant, in my opinion one of the best in Lisbon boasting theme dinners and tasting sessions. Excellent service and staff and adequate non expensive prices.

Nice restaurant just outside the city centre. Very difficult to park in the area, but that makes it part of the adventure. Slightly high price, but then the quality is good. A bit on the small side, making it feel a bit stuffy. But then again, if you are looking for a romantic dinner, this could be the right place.... More

A great dining experience for my sister and me - From the waiter, to the manager, to the pizza chef, all was fabulous. A wonderful shrimp pesto pasta, and the caprese pizza were perfecto! The wine suggested hit the spot. So glad Lisete, my friend in Lisbon, recommended!

Top class in all aspects. The people who run this restaurant deserve a great compliment for the hospitality. Local people visit this restaurant. Please make a reservation because a lot of people know the quality of the food already. We were there with a group of 34 atletes and every minute was a pleasure

We had dinner here with a group of thirty people here and were accomodated on the top floor. We had a great time. Interior is simple but cosy, staff is friendly and the food (and wine) was very tasty. As the main course I had prawn risotto and it was the best risotto I had in some time. Everybody in... More

Delightful little Italian restaurant with a traditional wood fired pizza oven. My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of food that came our way. The cover was totally vegetarian (freshly baked bread with oils and bruschetta) and the nicest I have had in Lisbon. There was very reasonably priced local red wine (€9.95) recommended by the waitress. The menu... More
