9/10That our favorite neighborhood italian, just round the corner. The food is great and so is the service. The only problem sometimes is that it can be noisy, the noise insulation is not great

8/10Food and wine were good. Inside was a bit dated.

Hi Nicholas. Thank you só much for your evaluation, hope to host you again! Regarding deco it is totally intentional since Casanostra was founded in the 1986 and both rooms were designed by a famous Portuguese architect..

10/10Casanostra is our favourite spot to have dinner and we dine here whenever we are in Lisbon. The restaurant is cozy, and the staff & food are wonderful.

9/10Been there many times, it's an institution of the neighborhood. The food is great, the service is good and fast. The place is cosy but the acoustic could be better, i.e. if there is a noisy group, the noise level is too loud. That was the case this time, so the experience was a bit less agreeable than usual

10/10An awesome evening, so good, we went back the next evening. Quaint little Italian restaurant on a side road/alley which attracts many. Each night room was full within 30 minutes of opening. Pastas great, wine list good and fun.

10/10The best meal we had during our 10 day, multi-city Portugal trip. Very authentic. The waiter was incredibly helpful to us and gave great recommendations based on what we liked. We got the TAGLIATA ALL'ACETO BALSAMICO and the Ricotta and spinach rotolo. Both excellent, but the real stand out was the fig and prosciutto (seasonal) and the beef carpaccio. We have carpaccio almost everywhere we go, and this was one of our favorites. Everything was incredible.

2.5/10The food was absolutely awful. Not sure how they get positive reviews but they need to get a new chef.

9.5/10This is a gem of a restaurant if you want authentic Italian pasta, fresh ingredients and a fine selection of Italian and Portuguese wines. The atmosphere is quiet but friendly, the service relaxed and excellent. The bresaola and arugula salad pleased us (no soggy or off flavor dressing) , and our pastas were cooked perfectly al dente, the sauces handled with care, with the high quality ingredients you'd expect to find in Italy. This place is great for families, couples, even solo diners.

10/10It is still the restaurant in Lisbon that never ceases to amaze me on every visit. The 80s modernist aesthetic is still present in every detail. Everything is full of complex and contradictory details. An ode to Graça Dias, the architect. In the middle of all this, lies a real italian trattoria… with good products, honest food and decent wines. The waiters’ glamour clashes with the feeling that you are an eating in the dining room of your own home. And that is a pretty cool fusion.

6/10The waiters were nice and friendly, but the first plate, pasta carbanoara, was lukewarm. The second plate they forgot. when they finally brought, some eggplant thing, it was so so. i didn't feel like ordering dessert after that. and luckily i was outside, as the tables outside are right next trash cans. the place is overrated.

10/10Small, authentic, with gracious service and a nicely designed dining room. A bit outside the large circle Of tourist trap restaurants all over Baixa-Chiado on a tiny street, Casa Nostra, despite the punny name, is true to its Italian roots. Flavor combinations were fantastic. Highly recommend.

8/10Lovely Italian restaurant right in the heart of Bairro Alto. Very good service and decent prices. However I do suggest they reduce the lighting just a little and I think they need to find the space to rebuild the WC facility. It’s very small and way too close to where one eats!
