  The whole experience was very special, run by two lovely people, when you first arrive you do not realise it’s a restaurant as it feels like you are entering a little apartment. You order off a menu that features all the Italian classics, we went for a Bruschetta for starters, a Tagliatelle Ragu and a Spaghetti Carbonara. We asked for a recommendation of Barollo wine which the Chef who is brimming with passion about wine and food was quick to recommend. The food was so lovely, felt like proper home cooked Italian food and the wine was spectacular. The cashew cheese on the Bruschetta was also so so good.

  We had a late night cruise stop in port in Lisbon and as Al Sanpietrino was literally across the road from the cruise terminal we booked a table as soon as they opened. They take bookings only and it's only cash for those who don't have Portuguese credit cards. The chef is Alex and front of house is Kazia. It's a beautiful cosy place inside but don't be put off as from the front before they open It's basically a door on a cobbled street and we thought we'd gone to the wrong place. The food is all Italian as Alex is from Piemonte and has links to Sicily. The food was amazing, we had bruschetta and tofish alla Siciliana , spaghetti carbonara and spaghetti pomodoro and if there is one dish you have to try it's the tiramisu. We could not fault the whole experience. Kazia was so friendly and we shouted through the kitchen door backing onto the street as we left to tell Alex how wonderful the food was. Not to be missed in Lisbon.

  If you do one thing in Lisbon, please make sure you visit this restaurant!!! I think I’m officially now calling it my favourite restaurant I’ve ever been to. Firstly the restaurant itself is just so cute, romantic, authentic, intimate, but also really homely. It is a little hard to find but once you enter, it is like a totally private intimate dinner setting - completely transporting you to another place. Because there are only a few tables there, please make sure you book in advance as they get booked up quickly! The menu looked so incredible and it was really hard to choose. Everything we ordered beyond surpassed our expectations. We tried the fondue, lasagna, carbonara and tiramisu. All were INCREDIBLE! I wish we could try everything, honestly it was all so incredibly tasty but also very authentic tasting too. We learnt that the restaurant was managed, owned and run by a couple. Their story is beautiful and made the experience that much more special! The chef was taught by his Italian mum and has done such a huge service to creating and honouring incredible, authentic Italian food. And he even makes it vegan with absolutely no compromise on anything (in fact I’d argue it’s even better 😉) The service was so good too, and we felt so comfortable the whole time. I’m so glad to have visited this beautiful incredible restaurant. I just hope everyone can try this restaurant as it really is a one of a kind experience all round. Ps my photos really really don’t do it justice as lighting was a bit dim

  I came here after more than one year and my experience was completely different from the other times, that's why I changed drastically the review. We didn't like the lasagna, for the texture it was so dry that it seemed a block (there was just a tiny tiny spoon of beshamel on top but it was super dry anyway) and for the taste because it was not that flavored. After we tried the "carbonara" and it was tasting ANYTHING ELSE than a "carbonara". It was tasking like oat milk (?) and there were these big chuncks of smoked seitan (?) very unpleasantable. Zero black salt for the egg flavour perceived. I must say that it was hard to finish it. At the end, we tried the tiramisu, but i wouldn't call it tiramisu because there was no coffee flavour, not enough cream. Instead, it was a dessert with lotus biscuits with tiny bit of cream and cacau on top. But not vegan tiramisu. Regarding the service it was very slow, after the appetizer we waited minum 40 minutes for the main dishes

  Best dining experience of my entire life no lie. It’s so hard to vegan Italian food back home, so this was a major highlight of my trip. Owned by a cute couple who were super sweet. And the spot was so cozy and tucked away. All of the food was unreal. It’s a must visit spot!
