Davvero is an elegant, beautiful space in the heart of Lisbon with a strong focus on high quality, handpicked artisanal ingredients which are displayed in its modern Italian dishes. Chef Isaac Kumi brings an authentic and sophisticated experience with a profound understanding of the right combinations and the sequences of flavours. I tried the truffle taglioni, which was silky and aromatic in its simplicity, followed by a delicate sea bass with lemon butter. No Italian meal is complete without an espresso and a dessert, and the tiramisu was surprising in its beautiful presentation and delightful in taste. @davverolisboa

Tucked away in the charming neighbourhood of Campo de Ourique, Fiammetta delivers a classic Italian experience. From the moment I arrived it felt like I had been welcomed into a warm trattoria in Rome, with some added refined details.
The menu leans into time honoured recipes featuring genuine ingredients as a nod to their heritage. I began with a platter of mixed cured meats and cheeses from their artisanal deli corner, which is perfect as an aperitivo with a pre dinner drink. The mezze-maniche carbonara, pasta with guanciale and pecorino, featured rich sauce clinging to ridged tubes in a way that only an Italian chef can get so perfectly right. Another standout on the menu is their tagliatelle with pork-cheek ragù - slow-cooked to lend a hearty flavour to a fresh pasta. The wine list featured some fine Italian bottles to complement a deliciously authentic Italian meal. @fiammetta.lx
