Wonderful service and delicious food. It was a delight to celebrate my partner’s birthday here

The dishes were decent to eat but not up to the standards of the prices accounted with them. Not sure if they are capitalizing on the fact that it is a heavy tourist area, which is a shame. The desserts were beautifully presented, but again just average in taste. We were seated in the expanded area of the restaurant and it was not enjoyable, it smelled of mildew. My chair had a cushion with holes and stains. Again, for the prices, I was immediately shocked by the careless atmosphere. I spent my meal with a view of the storage room with mops buckets etc. Quite disappointed.

We were told to try this place from a friend who travelled to Lisbon. He said it's the best Italian food in Portugual. Well, you know what, he was right! Our waiter greeted us with some Proseco for the table and then lemoncello after the meal and then Port wine with our desserts. The entree's were magnificient. I had the mixed seafood on top of pasta and my wife had the lasagna. Everyone in our party loved their entrees. The tiramasu was a must try since it's the staple Italian dessert and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. Next time we're in Lisbon we'll definitely come back.

Our second time here and it was just as delicious as the first time! Definitely try the tiramisu and the almond cake for dessert. The pasta was divine- I’ll be dreaming about carbonara for the rest of my life.

Great cozy place in Alfama. Extremely attentive and friendly service. We really enjoyed our dinner there last week and got back for a tiramissu treat a couple days after which was amazing. Will be back and recommend 100%.

Love Nonna! Cozy atmosphere with fresh and delicious food. Manuel runs this place like a rock star. Prices are very reasonable for food and drinks. Portion size is perfect with a beautiful presentation. Tiramisù was outstanding. We have eaten here on numerous occasions during our stay and always come back when we are in town. Highly recommend ❣️

Everything was excellent! They offered me a tasty welcome drink - prosseco wine , my seafood pasta was delicious and so much seafood! And I saw the desserts there too, very beautiful and home made. The service was very friendly and prompt and the ambience is great for socialising - I met other travellers there! So happy I went to this restaurant.

We truly enjoyed everything about our meal. The bruschetta was fresh and full of flavor, the pizza was perfectly cooked with great ingredients, and the salmon was absolutely delicious. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. A wonderful dining experience from start to finish — we’ll definitely be back!

We had the Dorado fish, tortellini, lasagna, magherita pizza, and one other pasta dish. All came out delicious and everyone finished every bite. The atmosphere was cute and cozy and the service was exceptionally friendly. We also had the tiramisu and panna cota dessert and both were very tasty as well. We would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for something different than Portuguese food for a change.

I am visiting Nonna for the 6th time in 1 year. The food variety and quality is excellent. Kind and warm service makes you feel at home. There are new additions such as classic Portuguese dishes of the day that yet waiting to be explored. A must for Italian cuisine lovers in Alfama if not entire Lisbon.

Sadly, a big disappointment. Service was poor – the table wasn’t cleared, the main course was forgotten for over two hours, and a new waiter behaved unprofessionally, making sarcastic remarks and even showing us the finger behind our backs. When the food finally arrived, the tiger prawns were just two small prawns presented as a main dish for two people (€60). The wine was good, but both food and service fell short. Especially disappointing since our visit a year ago, before the expansion, was so pleasant. No extra reduction beyond The Fork discount.
NonnaDear Tone Lofgren, We are truly sorry to read about your disappointing experience and would like to offer our sincere apologies. What you describe does not reflect the standards of service and hospitality we aim to provide. We are especially concerned to hear about the unprofessional behavior of one of our new team members — this is completely unacceptable, and we are addressing the matter internally to ensure it does not happen again. Regarding the delay in your main course and the portion size, we appreciate your feedback and will review both our kitchen procedures and menu descriptions to avoid similar issues in the future. We’re very sorry that your return visit did not live up to your previous positive experience. If you are open to it, we would love the opportunity to speak with you directly and restore your trust in us. Please feel free to contact us at 00351-936033877. Kind regards, Jose Manuel

Terrific food and attention to guests. Manuel is a true gentleman who loves what he does.

From the minute we arrived and we're greeted at the door until we left and bid farewell at the door the service and attention to detail makes you feel like you're the only customers in the restaurant. The food is top class and is one of the best Italian restaurants we've eaten in and not just in Lisbon but anywhere. Can not recommend this restaurant highly enough. 100%

Food was delicious. Owner was actively involved which was impressive. A great place for traditional Italian food.

We ate here twice. Very close to our lodging. If you make a reservation for dinner you are seated in the quieter dining room next door, same menu. Both meals were lovely. Not necessarily either Italian or Portuguese, just well prepared food. Very fresh lovely gilled sea bream for lunch on our second meal. Recommend!

Quality of the food was fantastic. We were there for my aunts birthday (a group of 9) and they really made an occasion of it! Free prosecco on arrival, a birthday dessert and limoncello shots after dinner. The staff were extremely friendly and we felt so welcome. Highly recommend visiting if you are in Lisbon.

Food was excellent, and the atmosphere was a lot of fun! The chefs in the back seemed excited to see how the food was received, which we loved!

Nonna is a very nice and affordable restaurant. We got a a welcome prosecco. Then the bruschetta and vitelli tonato were excellent. The seabass was very fresh and had excellent flavor. My pasta aglio e olio e peperoncino also good. Last but not least: very kind/thoughtful service!
