Mezza Luna
An extremely welcome addition to Lisbon’s still woefully limited selection of Italian eateries, this swish restaurant in the downtown business district scores on several fronts. The service is attentive and not too formal, the interior is light and cheerfully decorated and the food… well, what a difference a little imagination makes. Unlike the handful of other Italian restaurants in Lisbon, this place knows what to do with vegetables. The mixed vegetable platter is a delight to the eye and the palate, and the grilled aubergine with goat’s cheese has to be tasted to be believed.
