    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.

    I appreciate your comments and regret to hear that we did not meet your expectations. We shall analyse closely the points you have mentioned. We hope you will visit again in the future. Nuno Marques

    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.

    Il Basilico - LisboaOwner

    Not very big and it serves the hotel guest. It’s comfortable and not noisy. The food is very good, and with different type of flavours. It’s kid’s friendly.

    I ordered a gluten-free pizza, and it was flawless. I often eat gluten-free foods, and I am aware of how easy it can be to overcook them. The pizza was well-cooked, and the flavors were just right. I highly recommend Il Basilico.

    On arrival there were many tables free . However we were directed to a small table right beside a table already occupied by a couple. Why .? We asked if we could sit somewhere else and they agreed but we were still puzzled. We enjoyed our meal and the service was good. One small irritant however was when we asked for an additional glass of wine and the wine in the bottle ran out they never came back to adjust this . It is not an issue but in a class restaurant it just lacked a little professionalism Overall great thank you Eamonn
