Roman's - Lisboa

This supposedly Portuguese-Italian restaurant is neither. The food we ordered was overcooked, tasteless, and poorly executed. I find it impossible to believe a qualified chef or even an experienced cook would be responsible for preparing and serving this food. I ordered a veal scallopine with tagliatelle and creamy sauce. I got a leathery piece of beef coated in breadcrumbs, overcooked sitting on top of overcooked tagliatelle and covered in this curdled white lumpy liquid. Inedible. My dinner guest ordered baked fish on salad. the fish had been chopped not filleted and deep fried not baked until it was a dry lump sitting on the plate with a lettuce leaf combination of some sort on one side and overcooked soggy vegetables on the other. Inedible

I recommend the pizza at Roman’s. It couldn’t be situated in a more touristic place but to my surprise the pizza was really good.

The service was good and the side salad was good, but it was otherwise a disappointing experience. The food was average at best and very much overpriced.

Italian food very good menu, everything you can think of. Enjoyable. Found in the main pedestrain area from the main square. Nice to sit outside to eat but the downside is, it's a busy area therefore you are sometimes bothered by street traders or beggars. Scored average due those points above however, no complaints about the service or food at all.

All the way along the pedestrian area there are similar restaurants so first time it is always a step into the unknown. First time we stopped we were welcomed and promptly served a drink. a cheerful waiter. A good selection offered in the menu and our questions and dietary queries easily answered and dealt with. Food order arrived in good time , and proved tasty and good portion sizes. The menu selection , good service and dishes made it an easy choice to return when we could not decide on where to eat on another night.
