Ribalta - Lisboa

The place is nice and the decoration and ambiance is very cozy and calm. The food was very good. I took Vitello Tonnato, and later pasta all 'Amatriciana. It was very good, very trattoria style. My wife had pasta with shrimps. We were pleasantly surprise with the pasta cooked al dente , which is a rare find if the restaurant is not necessarily owned or managed by Italians. The dessert was also a nice surprise with a pear mouse, very nice an different, I don 't know if it was the best dessert ever, however, it is pleasant to have the chance something different to the typical panna cotta or tiramisu that although delicious are the typical desserts that you find in every single Italian restaurant. We will come back.

We used to go there because we live close by and they got excellent pizzas but the service is chaos, and the prices are gone up that it's outrageous. The atmosphere is nicer if they allow you to sit outside, sometimes they feel like sitting outside and sometimes they don't, I never understand why they feel, as clients, like to see indoors when it's beautiful outside. The interior is fine with comfortable seating and nice decor. Portions of pasta are okay, the salads used to be able to share no now, we had an average salad in quality and taste. The service was very disappointing. They were not crazy busy but we had to ask three times, over the course of fifteen minutes for someone to take our order and the food arrived even before our drinks

The food (pizzas, bruschetta, polenta... was good as well as the lemon cello by the way. Waiters were friendly, even if one of them somewhat inexperienced. There are tables outside, which can be nice if the weather is OK. Prices are a bit (though not too much expensive.

It is sad that such a nice place has terrible service. Excellent chef though. We loved the food and hated the service.

Pizza cocktail perfection in a great atmosphere. Nothing but complements to give to this place.
