An Italian Address in Lisbon

Casanostra sits on Travessa do Poço da Cidade in Lisbon, a compact address that carries a straightforward promise: Italian cooking in a city that has quietly built a reputation for welcoming serious foreign-cuisine restaurants. The name itself — a warm, familiar "our house" — sets the register before you even step inside.

Recognised by Gambero Rosso

The restaurant earned a fork in the 2023 edition of the Gambero Rosso guide, the Rome-based authority whose annual ratings are among the most closely watched in the Italian food world. A Gambero Rosso fork outside Italy carries particular weight, as the guide applies the same exacting standards it uses at home, making Casanostra one of the few Italian tables in Lisbon to meet that bar.

What to Expect

Details on the full menu and kitchen team are not currently available through the restaurant's own channels, but the Gambero Rosso recognition points to a kitchen that takes Italian cuisine seriously — not as a loose inspiration, but as a discipline. For anyone in Lisbon seeking a credible Italian meal backed by independent international recognition, Casanostra is worth the detour to Travessa do Poço da Cidade.
