Is it worth going out of your way for?

Yes, if you're in Cascais and want a creative, critic-recognized take on Italian pasta that incorporates distinct Brazilian and Portuguese flavors, rather than a standard trattoria.

It's for diners seeking a mid-tier, design-forward meal with craft signaling, built around a compact, fusion-focused pasta menu finished with tableside theatre.

What should you order?

Focus on the hand-rolled pasta: the spaghetti with lingueirão and bottarga, the 'nduja and grilled octopus risotto, or the slow-cooked black pork ragù are signatures.

How do you get a table?

Booking details are not specified; given its Michelin Guide listing and intimate size, reservations are likely advised.

Anything to know before you go?

The space is modest with an open kitchen and a terrace. Portions are individual, not for sharing, and the kitchen does not typically accommodate off-menu adjustments.

Distinction

A few blocks from the beach, this modest dining room and terrace serves chef Nelson Soares's fusion format from Rio de Janeiro. The compact menu layers chili heat and tropical acidity into a hand-rolled pasta program, featuring dishes like spaghetti with lingueirão and bottarga or a slow-cooked black pork ragù. Many plates are finished tableside on a rolling cart. It sits outside Cascais's typical tourist trattoria cluster, sourcing locally and from Brazil to push pasta beyond classic Italian norms. The price is above the beachfront average but below formal fine dining.
