Rosetta's

It was a Friday night, and we were craving something a little different! The glowing reviews and beautiful space caught our attention—and it turned out to be the perfect spot for a lovely date night 🥰🍷 The concept is based on sharing plates, which gave us a chance to try a variety of dishes—everything was top-quality, incredibly fresh, and absolutely delicious! The owner was very kind, recommended a few great options, and even brought us a selection of wines so we could choose our favourite. Really recommend the marinated tuna and chicken skewers. It’s definitely on the pricier side, but for the quality and experience, it was worth it!

This was an amazing dining experience in Lisbon. I’d recommend it to anyone. It is tapas style and the staff are so knowledgeable on the food and wine. The service was incredible, the wine is small production and organic so if you say what you like you can taste a few before you decide - amazing! We scraped every piece of food off each plate it was that good. Small plates come out one at a time and you can enjoy a bit of everything with an incredible seasonal menu. It’s a small restaurant so make sure to book! Can’t wait to come back next time we’re in town. Thank you Rosetta’s! ♥️

Good Food, Rush Job Service Rosetta’s is one of those spots that presents a genuine paradox: the quality of the cooking for a bistro style is high, the dishes are interesting and inventive, and the overall pricing is quite fair. If you judge a restaurant purely on what lands on the plate, this place is a strong contender. But the overall dining experience—the rhythm and flow of the evening—left much to be desired. The kitchen is clearly operating at a high level. We found the dishes to be well worth the price point, offering unique flavor profiles you don't find everywhere. The ambiance is nice enough, but that’s where the positive momentum stops and the rush begins. The service was disappointingly rushed. While we were explicitly told we had a two-hour slot, we were served from start to finish in roughly 50 minutes. This breakneck pace meant the dining experience felt less like a relaxed meal and more like a timed sprint. We frequently found ourselves not quite ready for the next course, only for the subsequent dish to already be landing on the table. This lack of polish was also evident in small but important details. For instance, the staff didn't bother changing the wine glasses for different wines, which, for a restaurant offering an elevated bistro menu, feels sloppy. Additionally, the seating is noticeably crampy, making the forced speed of the meal even less comfortable. In conclusion, Rosetta’s is not a place I’d be rushing back to. It’s certainly not a destination restaurant you make plans around. However, if you happen to be in the area and are looking for a genuinely interesting meal that's fairly priced, it's a spot you can visit. Just be prepared to eat fast.

Really really loved Rosetta's. We were 7, so we ordered the whole menu and loved every single plate. With 3 bottles of wine we paid €35pp and were really happy. Wonderful food and the service was really attentive and kind and fast. My only issue is that I dislike ordering without a wine list or bottle prices. We had to ask the prices, which can feel a bit awkward. Wines presented ranged from 30-70 a bottle, and the three we tried were amazing. At nice more modern share plate spots like this in Lisbon, I'm finding the wine prices are rapidly rising with little at the lower end – if I knew I could get bottles around 20-25 I'd return for mid-week date night without fear of splurging too much

Well, we had a really strange night there. Ambiance, food quality and dishes were really exceptional and creative, but we have to say more than this unfortunately. In my life, it was the first time that I have seen our half of the total orders were not delivered. The funny part is, this small place has only 4 or 5 table and we were only a couple who ordered 4 dishes, which 2 of them were forgotten. The most funniest part was that we had to choose these 4 dishes (actually 2) out of 6 options, because other 3 options from this tiny menu were already run out 2 hours before their kitchen closing time. When I back to my country, I will kiss my precious waiters and owners who are capable to take hundreds of orders for over 20 person tables without any hassle :) This kind of misunderstood can be happened of course but at least we could get last notice or request, or they could ask everything’s allright etc.. All these things are explaining that the restaurant has a really communication issues. Indeed, we only get dull and soulless “sorry” as an excuse after waited almost 2 hours for nothing. Ah, in the final, plus we were also rewarded with heavy smells into our clothes due to the unventilated air. Thank you for this kind of unique experience. It was a memorable night really.

We had such a lovely time because it hit every personal craving and mood that we were in. The menu is small, but the plates were well-balanced for us in terms of portion, flavors, and textures. Each plate was delicately unfussy. We opted for glasses of wine instead of bottles and the recommendations were just right for our mood and cravings. Service was great and the space was intimate. Thank you for such a lovely meal.

Wow this place was incredible! Intimate romantic atmosphere, great date spot. Amazing wine selection. Regularly changing menu of small plates with great flavor combinations. We were served quickly. Everything was delicious thank you!

This was our first evening meal during our trip to Lisbon and it was a superb way to start our trip! The flavour combinations were a little unusual but worked so well together. We tried a few of the different organic wines on offer which were delicious! Staff were super helpful and friendly too. Would highly recommend.
