Come Prima

Pois aqui está! Há centenas de italianos em Lisboa, uns melhores e outros piores (são mais os piores, é verdade), mas o que não se estava à espera é que um chef nepalês conseguisse fazer dos melhores pratos italianos da capital, naquele que é sem dúvida um dos melhores restaurantes italianos de Lisboa.
Em primeiro lugar, o Come Prima é um sítio para ir a dois. Porque o ambiente puxa ao romantismo, mas sem ser demasiado bimbo. É simples, mas porque tem a iluminação certa, faz-nos sentir bem e torna a refeição numa boa experiência. O serviço faz o resto, simpático mas nada intrusivo, dá-nos o espaço e tempo que precisamos. Como deve ser.
Em relação à comida, começo pelo menos interessante: as pizzas. Sim, são agradáveis, com massa fina e ingredientes frescos... mas são só agradáveis. De qualquer forma, não são o que recomendo. Aqui recomendo tudo o resto! Recomendo o fabuloso Spaguetti con Gamberetti e Pesto, super equilibrado a nível da sabor; ou o Risotto ai Funghi (risotto de cogumelos), bem feito como um risotto deve ser, cheio de sabor; o simples mas delicioso Ravioli di Ricotta e Spinaci (dos melhores que já comi em qualquer parte do mundo!); ou, para fechar, o Tartufo al Limoncello, um gelado de limão com limoncello e merengue que não fica nada atrás de uma sobremesa num qualquer restaurante com estrela Michelin.
No fundo, aquilo que sentimos é que tudo é feito com paixão, quase como se estivessem a fazê-lo só para nós. E isso faz que que nos sintamos especiais, e também que o jantar seja realmente especial.
Boa selecção de vinhos para acompanhar.
Uma experiência fantástica, da qual talvez nem estejamos à espera. Mas até é melhor assim, porque fica um segredo só nosso, daqueles que não partilhamos com muita gente porque queremos guardar só para nós.
Um italiano de eleição.

I'm my opinion the best Italian restaurant in Lisbon. The ambiance is absolutely fantastic, perfect place for a date or a romantic night out. This place has 2 floors with small tables scattered all around the little "house". Really really cosy.

Staff is attentive and the food is phenomenal. You just can't go wrong with any plate but I love their pastas.

Also, do not leave without trying their tiramisu. The only problem is once you try theirs it will spoil you fir tiramisu in almost any other place on earth. I mean it!!!

PRO TIP 1: Ask for a table on the top floor overseeing the downstairs area.

PRO TIP 2: Call them to check on the free parking they offer. This area of the city is really hard to find a spot unless you're get lucky

Buon appetito!!!

We were fished out from Portugal and We were craving some authentic Italian & we found it. Hidden on the street by a bunch of vines once you enter it's a little piece of Italian heaven. Cute place with an up stairs. We didn't have reservations but they were able to accommodate us. Highly recommend reservations. We had a little bit of everything and it didn't disappoint. The lasagna was placed in the stone brick oven and it was so delicious with that extra touch. Definitely worth checking out in Lisbon when you want something other than fish.

Great food and amazing service. We got there an hour before close and were seated up top. Our server then brought out complimentary bruschetta, along with breadsticks and olive oil. My boyfriend ordered the margherita pizza and lasagna. I ordered the sea bream fillet. Their mozzarella is flown from Italy daily and the pizza was delicious. My boyfriend loved his lasagna and my sea bream was a tasty, light meal. At the end of the meal, we were given a complimentary glass of port wine.  By far the best meal and service that I have had in Lisbon.

Just great.  We had a lovely dinner at Come Prima last night.
Arugula salad
Brushetta
Rigatoni with eggplant
Rigatoni with black pig and veal
All excellent.  Service could not have been better.  Food was delicious.
No room for desert.
Try this place, I'm sure that you will be happy.

Amazing service! The quiet and quaint ambiance lent to an exceptional experience! Paulo was very attentive to our needs and went above and beyond making sure we enjoyed our meal. The food is what we would expect from a 5 star restaurant. Worth a visit! My favorite was the Goat cheese spinach ravioli along with Paulo's wine suggestion went beautifully with the entire meal.

Excellent service by Paulo! Perfect ambience with authentic Italian food. Pizza was delicious and I enjoyed my time here

Great restaurant period. Service was incredible. Staff spoke perfect English. Our servers Rui and Misame were so helpful. We got appetizer of bruschetta that was great! We ordered double. Then we split a real Napoli pizza as table starter.
The lasagna was best I have had in years. The other order of rigatoni with ragu was so tastefully done.
Dessert was another great surprise tiramisu that was so good the perfect end to a perfect meal.  A very nice atmosphere and open kitchen with pizza oven. Reservations prob needed as seems to be always full. Definitely worth a meal there.

Just as the other reviews, this is a great place period. Off the main roads you have to want to find Come Prima. We were served by Rui and experienced a great evening. Place is clean, well staffed, knowledgeable and punctual. Food was fantastic. Each course was a real treat to experience.
We ordered Meat Lasagna, Salmon Lasagna and Risotto Funghi with Truffles, Wow, each dish exceeded our expectations. Don't hesitate to make reservations and go.

Rui was our waiter at this delightful Italian restaurant in Lisbon. His recommendations for wine, main courses, and desserts were excellent. The entire staff was attentive without being overbearing. The atmosphere was informal yet charming.

Probably one of the best pizza's I've ever had in my life.

We ordered a pizza with burrata and truffles. Very well done.

Also got the rigatoni siciliano- very tasty.

Finally, had the tiramisu and chocolate Tartufo for dessert. The tiramisu once again was the best I've ever had. The tartufo was good, but didn't have a hard shell on the outside like I expected.

Great service.

All around great meal. Highly recommend it.

This gorgeous restaurant was located just around the corner from our charming Airbnb. We were hungry after a long day of walking and wanted a big red easy button near our bed for dinner :) The atmosphere is homey but romantic - the service was impeccable and ever so kind. My partner ordered a pour of bourbon and the fanfare of service was really charming (the whole bottle was delivered to the table and served in front of him). Our food was beyond delicious and enchanting. Great flavors, portions and thoughtfulness put into each dish. Definitely worth going out of the way for this gem if it's not in your area.

One of the best Italian restaurants I have ever ate in and we were visiting from NYC where we have sooo many great Italian restaurants, however this place blew us away with the amazing food. Highly recommend for anyone looking to have delicious, authentic pasta. YUM!

All I can say is that this was such an incredible Italian restaurant in a quiet, quaint neighborhood of Lisbon.  We started out with sharing a pizza and then we ordered soup, salad, and then shared a white fish, lasagna, and a pasta with clams and mussels.  Every dish was better than the next.....The service was impeccable, professional, and friendly.  I highly recommend Come Prima.

Best Italian food I have had in Lisbon, and the competition is not even close.

Get the bucatini amatriciana, ravioli, or other fresh pastas. The Margherita pizza was good but had a little too much cheese so I would ask for less cheese next time. They seem to be one of only a couple restaurants in Lisbon with Napoli Verace certification for their pizzas, the other I know of being Mercantina, so in addition to all of their pastas being probably the best in the city, their pizza probably is too.

The tiramisu is also fantastic. I was disappointed that they have Delta coffee though. After all of the attention to detail to the food and importing so many other ingredients from Italy including the guanciale (so so good), it was weird to have what tastes like run of the mill Portuguese coffee at the end.

This place was really nice! Love the name and its meaning in Italian ' as before'. And it did feel like a restaurant that was truly authentic, it does not feel pretentious at all. The food was delicious! And it would not stop coming...

Had bruschetta as an appetizer, then their 'forno a legna' baked bread. Delish! The highlights of this place included the ham and fig pizza, the risotto, and the amazing tiramisu! That was so scrumptious. Not too sweet and soggy! Highly reccomend this place to those that want to have really delicious food and great service also. Ottimo!

Excellent food and great wine selection. It was so good that we are going back, rather than trying another restaurant.  The place is super cute too.  You know it's got to be good when the locals are eating there :)

Had dinner with friends. I had the Capresse pizza. Toppings were plentiful, and tasty. Thin crust. Tiramisu for desert, very tasty, and a nice way to finish the meal. A glass of grappa was included with the meal. A cozy atmosphere, and good food with friends. A super evening.

The food was fantastic! The service by Ruis was excellent. He made great suggestions for food and wine. A great experience.
