Super nice and yummy - Edit
I went here with my non-vegan grandma and we both loved this place! The waiter was very friendly and explained where each dish comes from in Italy, explaining the regions, etc. They gave us an amuse-bouche which was house-made meat (made from seitan I think?). We ordered tiramisu to go because we were so stuffed and everything was delicious.

What an amazing place with the kindest service and the most delicious food. Their vegan cheese plate is impossible to describe, so so good. Everything is prepared with so much care, love and taste. Will definitely come back!

Very good - Edit
We got the lampredotto, the carbonara, the farfelle, and the tiramisu. The lampredotto was our favorite. The pasta dishes were quite good too. The tiramisu wasn't exactly what I hoping it would be. The layers tasted more like graham crackers than lady fingers. Overall, really enjoyed eating here.

Damn! Best Italian food ever. - Edit
I truly don't have words to express how amazing this experience was. I had the degustacion tasting menu, and if you get this bring your appetite, as one plate after another of mouthwatering foods will keep you busy for a couple of hours. The night I went the nyoquis were featured. They melt in your mouth. And the sauces. The desserts. Insane. My friend had the lasagne, crazy delicious. The chef should receive buckets of Michelin stars for this level of cuisine.

Absolute perfection - the lasagne wasn’t just the nicest thing I ate in Lisbon, it was probably one of the nicest things I’ve ever eaten! Amazing attention to detail and truly delicious food. Make sure to book and go hungry so you can try lots of things.

Vegan authentic Italian food - Edit
It is a super cozy 5 table restaurant with nice and funny stuff. We had the bruschetta, lasagna and the carbonara. It was incredible delicious. The carbonara was a bit too salty. Unfortunately we had to wait a quite long time for our food especially with the tiny amount of tables and guests. Also we had to wait like half an hour for the bill. It was a bummer at the end. Nonetheless we want to come back to try the vegan cheese plate!

Eat here! - Edit
An adorable five-table restaurant off of a quiet street. Cozy, charming atmosphere. The server was super personable. Hands down THE BEST vegan Italian food we've ever had! Everything tasted very authentic with no soy or nut or "off" flavors to give away that the dish had been veganized. Biodynamic and certified vegan wines available. The vegan cheese plate was fantastic.

Sehr lecker, aber teuer - Edit
Sehr leckeres veganes Essen. Leider wenig Platz im Innenraum und leider gibt es keine Pizza mehr. Für portugiesische Verhältnisse ist es recht teuer dort. Sehr nettes Personal .

WOW! I would eat here every night! - Edit
One of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. The service was so great, all the employees, including the chef, were all the absolute sweetest! Seriously left this restaurant feeling so happy and perfectly full. You can tell there was a lot of love put into the food. The menu changes but we had the aubergine starter, lasagne and pollo, and they were all BANGING!

You’d better book in advance! - Edit
First time I have visited Horacio all slots were already booked. I have made a reservation for the next day and it was definitely worth it! Lasagna, Rigatoni and Parmigiana from Horacio are ones of the best I have ever eat (even in Italy). What is more I was very delighted to see how passionate and happy Horacio crew where while doing their job. Definitely worth it!

Wow - Edit
This is a MUST visit when visiting Lisbon. The food here is like no other. I was initially concerned about my options due to my nut allergy but was instantly reassured by the incredible team of staff here who knew the menu back to front. I opted for the Ragu Gnocchi (without the cashew cheese) with a side of bread which was absolutely incredible! Highly Recommended!

One of the BEST restaurants in Lisbon!! - Edit
YOU MUST GO HERE!! Seriously, the food is outstanding!! We love this place so much and take all of our visitors here. The food, ambience and chef/hostess are the BEST! Everything that we've tried here has been outstanding. We especially love the faux "rabbit" dish, the lasagna and the calzone. Oh, and the bruschetta starter is divine.
Read moreIt's a very small restaurant with only 5 tables so you must make a reservation beforehand if you want a guaranteed table. I usually make the reservation via Instagram.
If you are in Lisbon, this is the top restaurant to try!! Hope you love it as much as we do!
Pros: Super flavorful food, Friendly staff, Awesome vibe -you feel like family!
Cons: A little hard to find in Alfama

All Around Winner - Edit
Our party of 6 lucked out with a Sunday night reservation at this absolute gem of an establishment! The food is second to none, you can literally taste the love and pride poured into each dish. The wines are stellar. And last but certainly not least, the people are stunning examples of human beings. We were met and served by Kasia wearing a gigantic smile in the midst of quite the hectic week, the chef came out and shared stories of memories, recipes and wine. All around we had a memorable dinner, with great company, and fantastic atmosphere. Definitely on our must return list!

My favorite restaurant in Lisbon by far! It is the only 100% vegan *authentic* Italian restaurant in the city. If your'e craving real Italian vegan food and tired of boring pasta in a normal place where they just remove the cheese - this is the place for you.
Read moreI have been going there numerous times since they opened and it is my go to place to take non-vegan friends as well!
It is owned by an amazing couple who are super friendly and care the most for their restaurant and food.
Pros: beautiful location, authentic food, perfect food
Cons: no cons

Amazing!!! - Edit
Best food I've ever had! We visited late in the evening so luckily got a table (definitely book I'm advance). We had the lasagne and a faux turkey, Bell pepper dish with potatoes and omg absolutely delicious!!!! My husband originally planned to order pizza as he'd seen the pictures but they took it off the menu as it is more about homecooking than a pizzeria. In the end he was so happy they don't do pizza because the food we had was incredible. Good portion size and the tastiest food ever, a must when in Lisbon!!

Highlight of my time in Lisbon - Edit
First of all, reserve in advance! and plan to go on a night they are open! We got lucky because a table didnt show up but otherwise we would have missed out on what was one of the sweetest experiences of our trip. the food is incredible and made with an actually impressive amount of in-house attention, the atmosphere is like nothing ive ever experience before (6 intimate tables in a courtyard and some indoors which we didnt even see) and kind, thoughtful service from the 2 passionate and sweet vegan fiances who own/cook/host/serve/etc.
