Come prima, Italian restaurant in Estrela, Portugal
Come prima is an Italian restaurant in the Estrela neighborhood of Lisbon, with several dining rooms on two floors and both indoor and outdoor seating. The menu features handmade pasta, risotto, and other classic dishes from the Italian kitchen.
The restaurant opened in 1999 in Lisbon's Lapa neighborhood and brought traditional Italian recipes and truffle specialties to the local food scene. Over time it became known as a place for quality Italian cooking in the city.
Come prima prepares fresh pasta daily using traditional Italian methods and seasonal ingredients from local markets. This combination makes the restaurant a good example of how two food traditions can come together in a natural way.
The restaurant is open for dinner from Monday through Saturday with seating available both inside and outside. Booking ahead is a good idea, especially if you have a preference for a particular area.
In 2018 the restaurant acquired one of the largest white truffles ever sold at auction, sourced from Alba, Italy. This reflects a long-standing focus on truffles that has been central to the menu since the restaurant first opened.
