Cafe Marzano
Located in Lisbon, Portugal
Description
“At Caffè di Marzano, we believe that the most precious gift is time: the wonderful minutes that quickly will become hours, time to stop and grab a much-deserved drink or a delicious bite to eat, a coffee or a late lunch, a late afternoon aperitivo or a delicate wine with a truffled ravioli to finish an elegante evening. This window-gap into mediterranean-latin culture doesn’t necessarily just fit the definition of a bar or café. It only promises the experience, rich in flavour and history, where every day of the week and at all hours of the day are valid, so that casually you can enjoy and have time to eat or drink of quality.
In this little corner, the dishes change from sunrise to sunset, thanks to a subtle change of menu options during the day, different but equally tasty: a morning selection of especially coffees, juices, smoothies, pancakes, eggs benedict and freshly oven-baked panini’s, following up with lunch dishes for a good brunch setting; ending the day with delightful small plates of ravioli, risotto, gnocchi, small pizzettas, cheese boards and charcuterie; accompanied with a great choice of aperitifs, spritzs, vermouths, sustainable natural wines; and finally, some classic negronis and elegant cocktails.
Caffè di Marzano reminds us of the coffee shops in urban New York and inspired in the vermuterias vinotecas in the streets of Italian cities, revealing an old-school, bohemian and glamorous atmosphere in Chiado, in the heart of Lisbon.”

Chip’s Notes
We met Frank and Andrea, long time friends from Pittsburgh who happened to be in the city. Cafe Marzano at Largo Rafael Bordallo Pihneiro seemed to be a good place to catch up and we helped ourselves to cappuccino and avocado, toast, mushroom risotto, buffalo mozzarella, and a margarite pizza. More delicious food after supping for 21 days at sea.
We dined at Carmo shortly after our arrival in Lisbon following the long cruise from Montevideo to Lisbon. Read about the start of that adventure on Day 561.
