On a recent trip to Lisbon, we had a few nights of stay over. On one night we were fortunate to eat at Restaurante Pinoquio. We were not disappointed. The barbecue was excellent, cuts of lamb, pork and beef accompanied with a rich garlicky au juice. My wife had the sirloin steak with garlic green beans and rice. The service was perfect, the timing of the meal was perfect. Our wait staff was on point with more bread or water or wine service and were very gracious. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who is in the Rossio area in Lisbon. Located on Avenida Liberdade near Metro, Bus stops and overwhelming choices of taxi or uber. We ate a little earlier at seven. However Judging by the amount of people waiting in line the closer you get to 8 o'clock prime time for dinner, the longer the wait. As we were visiting in the beginning of summer, the covered alfresco dining outside was the way to go, a very comfortable evening. A reservation is a must!! Highly recommended! Perfect dining experience! read more

Seafood pasta was pretty good but it was more like seafood soup. There was a Lot of seafood in it. The service could be better. Once our server brought the food and wine, he was never to be seen again read more

This restaurant was a 5 minute walk from my hotel and highly recommended by my Tuk Tuk Driver. Long line to get in, waited about 10 minutes. Ordered the seafood rice - very generous portion, filled with lobster, lots of shrimp and clams - the flavors of this rice was delicious. The vegetable paella was made with saffron and lots of vegetables-excellent. Service was a little slow - I noticed that the waiters were more interested in serving the locals than the tourists. We were seated next to a famous Portugal football player / team manager - he is now sportscaster- he was from Porto. He recommended the wine and food for us - so fun being seated next to a local. read more

My friend and I split a single portion of seafood rice and still couldn't finish it. It was very tasty and the seafood was fresh. A bottle of vinho verde was the perfect accompaniment. If I'm ever lucky enough to be back in Lisbon, I'd happily go back read more

I only use Yelp reviews to base my decisions on where to eat when we travel. The accolades the paella was given made it sound like it would be the best ever. I can't describe how disappointed I was. It tasted nothing like the paella I had in Spain (but not many places do) and all of the seafood was bland and dry. We had the prawns as an app and they were ok. Service was decent and the wine was great. Besides that, I don't really have much positive to say about this place. read more

The restaurant was highly recommended. However, maybe during this trip I just had way too much fish because I was not impressed. Seemed to be a very popular place, but probably because they're in a high tourist area. But I'd say take an additional five minutes and find a better option for your money. read more

Food- curry seafood with rice. Rice dry, curry one note only curry, shrimp unseasoned overcooked lacking shrimp flavor and lobster cut into tiny pieces and chewy. Fine if 5 euros but not for 32.5 euros. Bread dry and heat lamped or something. House made potato chips- some were wet and soggy, some stale, some fresh. It should not be an Easter hunt to find edible chips in a bowl of house made chips. I spit 3 of them out after putting them in my mouth. Worst house made chips I've ever had. The salad was ok? Wife mixed it in with her dry garlic rice. It was June 12, maybe all the cooks were at the parade? Tourist trap. Stay away. Made me sad I did not eat McDonald's with my son earlier. Plus one star for being open and taking us in at 10pm. Ambiance ok but not fine dining by any means. Plastic patio chairs and tables covered with white linen. read more

Came here by myself around 3pm on a Sunday. There was a line that took about 40 minutes to get seated. Once seated, you have to actively get the waiters attention to order but I understand as it was very busy. They sat me outside and had a large outdoor seating patio. I ordered the grilled grouper as it was recommended. It tasted fantastic. The portion was large though so I couldn't finish it. They did recommend a traditional Portuguese almond dessert but it wasn't to my liking but worth a try! Overall, would definitely come back. read more

Pinoquio came highly recommended, and for good reason. Hands down the best meal we had in Lisboa. The queue obviously sucks, and reservations seem rather hard to confirm; however, whether you sit inside or out, you'll certainly be satisfied with the following... Food quality: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Price: 5/5 The Arroz de Marisco (Seafood Rice) is def the star of the show. An order for 1 person (27.5€) can easily feed 2 people. The restaurant was flowing, as I'm sure it always is, day and night, and I'm pretty sure I saw Arroz de Marisco at most if not every single table. Definitely try this restaurant & dish if you're visiting Lisboa. And since they have continuous serving throughout the day, I highly advise coming during off peak hours (4-7pm) to minimize queues. Saúde! read more

Fantastic! We sat outdoors on their patio. It was a very sunny day and the umbrellas completely blocked the sun, something that was inconsistent in Lisbon restaurants. We were seated immediately when we arrived at a very nice table with a partial view of the kitchen. The server was outstanding! We described what we liked and he made recommendations. Be sure you know - when you go to a nice restaurant in Portugal, they bring bread, butter, olives, and sometimes other items. These are not complimentary. And while they are not expensive and you can refuse them, we chose to keep and enjoy them. We also started with a salad for two. It was a leafy green salad with marinated vegetables and it was really delicious. The size was generous, but we did finish it before our main course arrived. I'd been craving Paella lately and they had several versions on the menu. I had the seafood Paella. My wife had steak with mushroom sauce. The Paella was really outstanding. While I thought the rice was a little too soupy, it had a wonderful saffron flavor. There were huge chunks of fish, lots of shrimp (one of which was head-on), squid, and in the center there was a nice sized lobster tail. The portion was so large I could not finish it. They serve it with homemade potato chips. We also had a small bottle of Vino Verdo (green (white) wine), recommended by our server. It was terrific (and can be seen in one of my photos). We finished our meal with a coffee for my wife and an espresso for me. By Portuguese standards, Restaurante Pinóquio is quite expensive. By US standards it was quite reasonable. If we go back to Lisbon, Restaurante Pinóquio is a must go to. Incidentally, it is attached to a very nice looking hotel we will also look into and is in a fun area to walk around in. They really went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. read more

Great food, service is not great but it feels like it's part of the experience! Loved the seafood rice!

Went to both the main one and the one at Time Out. They were both great and did not disappoint. The portions are generous, so don't let the prices discourage you, if you're on a budget. One plate can easily feed two hungry people (and we can eat:-). We had the seafood rice. It came in a pot. Lots of seafood. We also had the big shrimp dish and the clams. Delicious. It's not your typical romantic atmosphere and it's not very quiet but it's a lot of fun and you get to make friends with people around your table! read more

Definitely one of my favorite meals I had in Lisbon. A little on the pricier side, but the paella was huge - enough for two with leftovers. And the seafood was so fresh and fragrant. Lots of great flavor and located centrally and right next door to the pastel de Nata shop. read more

What a great experience! The paella was absolutely amazing--packed with flavor and perfectly cooked. My son ordered the crab, and it was massive and delicious. The service throughout our meal was attentive and friendly. We especially appreciated the shaded seating and refreshing water mist--much needed in the Portuguese heat! Was it worth the wait? Absolutely. If you're looking for great food, this place is worth every minute. Highly recommend! read more

We were recommended Pinóquio by our hotel lobby and wow were we impressed. This probably was the best meal we had on our trip! We came in on a Saturday night for dinner and the outside terrace was packed. This was for good reason as the food was top tier. We ordered the mixed BBQ and seafood pasta. The meat was tender and full of the garlicky flavor while the pasta's seafood was so fresh and had a savory broth. Even though the price here may be a bit more expensive, it is well worth it for the portion size and quality of food you receive. Local Portuguese dishes can't get better than Pinóquio and this restaurant is definitely a must visit when you are in Lisbon! read more

If you like salt, this is your restaurant! Cute place and very friendly servers but the food was over salted. We had the cod and the pork loin. Veggies salty too. If you don't have a reservation, you wait in a long line outside. The line goes fairly quickly though. People next to us had the paella and wolfed it down. read more

Wow!! An incredible experience in a town of incredible experiences. Restaurante Pinóquio ranks as one of the best meals of my life. The shared seafood paella was legendary. Incredible mussels, fsh, octopus all is a steeply simmered fish broth of perfectly sautéed risotto. The waiter was an absolute character. Hilarious, self-deprecating and always on the spot when it comes to the perfect wine food paring. I loved this place. Worth wait out front! read more

Hello everyone! So we find ourselves in beautiful Lisbon, Portugal as we are kicking off a wonderful vacation in this beautiful city. Getting our bearings and after some settling in we decided to get some dinner and seafood was in order. Now Portugal is know for good food and Lisbon had no shortage of it for sure. So after consulting our trusty Yelp app, we found Restaurante Pinoquio which was just 5 to 10 minutes away from the Sofitel Liberadere which is a wonderful hotel on Portugal's parallel to the Champs Elyssee in Paris but that is for another review. Upon arriving we were greeted and seated quite fast but It was a Tuesday night and from the looks of things, I can definitely see this place getting packed as we get closer to the weekend. Plenty of locals in the mix at this place which is always a great sign and dining "Al Fresco" is in order as all seating is outside. This should not be a problem as most evenings in Lisbon are very nice and it's a great way to people watch as well. Francisco and Marco our servers did an great job of making some recommendations and soon we were all enjoying some awesome toasted bread and Calamata olives which were absolutely delicious. Quick note is that butter is normally already on the bread so if you don't want any make sure to let them know. For starters we all had the Seafood Bisque or as they call it "Crema de Marisco". which was delicious and for our main courses we went with the two (2h "Bacalao Al Horno" with Baked Potatoes and Veggies. Now the portions are quite big here, so if you are not extremely hungry, splitting a meal with your significant other is very possible. Prices are very reasonable by US standards but on the high side by Portugal standards. Well worth the money though. Parking is pretty much non-existent so I would not even try it. Highly recommend you UBER or take a nice walk as the City is quite beautiful. Will definitely say that the area this restaurant is located in is pretty upscale and plenty of high end shops and cafes along the way to check out. Overall we had an excellent experience and will definitely be back for more. So if you find yourself in Lisbon and are in the mood for a nice outside dining experience feel free to check them out. Enjoy and Bon Appétit m'es amis! read more

Definitely felt geared more towards tourists. The seafood pasta had macaroni pasta, but the sauce wasn't too bad. I wouldn't recommend getting the seafood rice, which came with a different sauce/soup and didn't taste great. The seafood paella was also only ok, wouldn't get it again. read more

Very disappointed with the service! We are visiting Lisbon from the US and we had terrible service, we asked for recommendations, but they couldn't tell us, we had to flag someone to order a bottle of wine and our food! We asked for a bottle of water, we never got it and another bottle of wine and we never got it! Very unfortunate. We were with someone that spoke portuguese so there wasn't a communication problem. We noticed that the waiters were more interested in other tables that they seemed to know or maybe be regulars! If I were visiting I would not recommend this place! read more

We arrived around 6:30pm (early for locals I guess) and there was no queue, we were seated outdoors right away next to a cozy heat lamp. We tried the Spanish style clams and the grilled squid with bacon, both came out nice and tasty. The squid had a nice grilled taste and the Spanish clams were savory and garlicky, just the way I like it. The weather was a little chilly at night, but a clear night and it was nice to eat outdoors... I was slightly confused when we got the bill and a wireless card reader placed at the table. I checked the device and the final bill was not punched in. I looked around until the waiter came over and plugged in the numbers for us, Not sure if this is normal practice in Lisbon, if so, the honor system is alive and well here... but my former New Yorker self thought this seemed ripe for fraud lol... anyway, it was enjoyable dinner read more

Had lunch here today in Lisbon. The shrimp salad was good. My Paella was loaded with seafood but lacked flavor. My wife had a hamburger and fries, which she said was pretty good. Another good place to people watch. Service was good. Very plain restaurant with typical outside seating under an awning. read more

After a day of gallivanting around town, my wife and I were starving for lunch. Thankfully, we had a long list of restaurants that came highly recommended from Dare Lisbon House (please read my review for them if you're looking for a nice boutique hotel). One of the restaurants that we had yet to visit was Restaurante Pinoquio; therefore, we decided that would be our lunchtime destination. When we arrived to the outdoor seating area, we were greeted by a healthy line. An employee was greeting folks in line and quickly adding them to a list. Since we only required a table for two, he informed us that our wait would be minimal. Roughly 25 minutes later our names were called and we were being ushered to a table. Since we had reviewed the menu while we were in line, we quickly placed an order for a large pitcher of Sangria and the seafood pot consisting of lobster, clams, shrimp, and pasta. Our server (unfortunately I did not capture his name) was extremely attentive, and brought bread (FYI the bread is not free-I believe it's 2 Euros) along with our pitcher of Sangria. Less than 20 minutes later our seafood pot arrived. Being that the seafood pot was a hefty portion, I'm so glad that my wife and I decided to share it. It remained hot the entire time, and we both found it to be extremely delicious and satisfying. On to the Sangria...meu Deus! It was the perfect blend of alcohol and fruit, which is not usually the case (most sangrias that we have had are too fruit forward with little hints of alcohol). If you're looking for good food + customer service, I highly recommend visiting Restaurante Pinoquio! read more

Quite possibly the best meal I've had in...my life??? I was seated quickly at their beautiful outdoor patio for lunch on a weekday. I got there a bit before 12 and so it was not too crowded but filled up quickly during the meal. They also have indoor seating. The servers were all incredibly kind and made the experience even better. They went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and taken care of!! The paella was out of this world - it takes about 20 min to cook, but it is worth the wait! The fresh bread and olives kept me from getting too hungry while I waited. The paella was packed with seafood and it was so flavorful. It was a huge serving - I did my best to eat as much as I could but it's best for sharing (or taking half for leftovers)! I would definitely come back to Pinóquio if I am ever back in Lisbon! Don't miss out on this meal!! read more

Food and service were on point. We went on a Friday and showed up at around 8pm. This is prime time dinner hour and we were about 7th party in line but the line moved well. We tried the seafood paella and seafood pasta among others things. Food was excellent. In fact, my mouth is watering as I write this review. The ham and melon were such a nice pairing. So simple and so good. Each item brings out more of the flavor of the other. Our server (I forgot his name) was fast and fun. He had a playful personality (he can move his ears) and we really appreciated it. Dessert was fantastic too. Highly recommend this place. read more

Ate here on my last business trip and will definitely go again on my current trip to Lisbon. Basically, this is a great seafood restaurant plus. The wait staff was friendly and helpful. The place is not near water, but they've done a nice job with privacy type foliage to make even the outside sitting intimate. Now, I travel all over the world and just before coming here I was in Seville, Spain and I can, in all honesty, say that the seafood paella I ate here is the best I've ever had bar none. The rest of the food was well prepared and had great flavor, but the paella left an impression on me since I've eaten paella many times before all over Spain and other countries. Pinoquio gets packed and there is often a line, so be prepared to wait outside for a while. Cheers!!!! read more

Ramiro was closed for the summer so went to Pinoquio for a seafood dinner instead. Be prepared to fall in line and immerse yourself into the chaos. What we got: 1. Giant prawns: simple, but amazing. Can't beat fresh Giant prawns cooked on the plancha with some lemon. 2. Pica pau: this serving was huge and totally worth it. A bit saltier than I would've wanted but okay 3. Seafood stew: I'm a sucker for a seafood stew, and this was pretty good. Lots of beans, lots of seafood. A bit salty too but nothing some lemon won't fix read more

Our first meal in Lisbon. A recommendation from "Rick Steves Portugal" Guidebook. Came here for a very late lunch / early dinner. We were seated promptly outside. Thankfully it wasn't too cold out because the heater wasn't working. They served us some warm bread and olives to start. Thanks to the guidebook, I knew that no bread / appetizer is free but the bread was delicious; we didn't touch the olives. They charged us €3. To drink we just have still water. We were the very few not having alcoholic beverages but we were thirsty. At first the waiter did not engage with us in English so we tried a bit of Portuguese, and the more we tried, the more English he seemed to know lol lesson learned (start with broken Portuguese if you can). To eat we shared the lamb chops (delicious! Though I asked for "medium rare" and got basically medium/well done. Still tasty. We also shared the seafood pasta--this was an unexpected dish. It's basically a soup with elbow noodles and seafood (shrimp, clams, lobster). It was delicious, especially with the seasoned oil they provide (I have no idea what it's called). Overall great meal. read more
