Located opposite Portugal’s Parliament building, A Galeria is much more than just a pizzeria. Milan-born chef and owner Augusto Gemelli described his cooking style to local newspaper Diário de Notícias as “creative Italian with aspects of fusion cuisine”. Gemelli likes to experiment with Portuguese products in his home country’s recipes. The result has made his restaurant “one of the most original and interesting in Portugal”, according to one connoisseur. To do honour to its [name], art exhibitions are held regularly at A Galeria. Open for dinner only.

Set up in 1998 by Naples-born American chef Michele Guerrieri and his Portuguese partner, Mezzaluna is now one of Lisbon’s most appreciated Italian restaurants. Because of its location not far from the parliament, it has quite a few politicians among its clientele. Among the house specialities are such dishes of Italian haute cuisine as tagliatelle with shrimps in a vodka sauce, fillets of salmon with an orange sauce, and duck breast with a prune sauce.
