    I came here with my sister, mum, and nana and we had the most wonderful experience. The starters we ordered were mouth watering, with their beef carpaccio as a stand out! Our lovely server also recommended a beautiful local red wine which we thought was fabulous also.

    Carpaccio was low quality, pre pared in advance , meat not with the right thin cut Risotto of mushrooms good , but the topping duck should be grilled Restaurante without ambiance

    Il Basilico - Lisboa

    We had a 7 o’clock reservation and arrived five minutes early as we always try to do. There was a hotel employee who came to tell us that we would need to wait that the restaurant was going to open in ten minutes. It was off putting. In ordering the pizza, the waitress and I misunderstood each other. I wanted to be sure that the Parma ham on the pizza was prosciutto and not ham. She didn’t quite understand and it was ham which I didn’t want but oh well. It was easy enough to remove. The pizza otherwise, was tasty. The Caesar salad was ok. The waitress was very nice. I wouldn’t try to go back but it was fine.

    Il Basilico - Lisboa

    Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We're sorry to hear about the wait before the restaurant opened — We understand how this may have felt unwelcoming, and we will review this with our team to improve the guest experience. Regarding the misunderstanding with the pizza, We also apologise for the confusion, glad it was still enjoyable overall, and we appreciate your kind words about our waitress. Your feedback is truly valuable, and we will take it into account as we continue to improve. Thank you once again for visiting Il Basilico Lisboa. Kind regards, Pedro Cravo Pinto

    We had some pizza’s. Both of them were dry and tasted watery- like they were frozen. I don’t necessarily think they were frozen, but they sure tasted like they were. Flavours were bland and lacking.

    We were greeted by friendly employees with was the perfect start to a lovely evening. The cocktails are delicious and original, do order one if you have time. The staff are very detail oriented and friendly. The food was excellent- though be ready to share the bruschetta as there is enough for 2 people! We ordered the pomodoro and the mushroom bruschetta- both winners! I really don't think there is a wrong item to order. The risottos we ordered were well prepared and very flavourful- be prepared with big appetites as the portions are generous and you want to leave room for dessert. It's a 10/10 would recommend!

    I went there twice while in Lisbon because they have several gluten free options. Unfortunately, the service is extremely slow. They forgot to put in our order. Some of the items were not as written in the menu. Its possible they are understaffed. The first time was average, the second time disappointing.
