🍕 Forno d’Oro – Authentic Italian Wood-Fired Excellence in Lisbon
If you’re wandering through Lisbon and craving authentic Italian cuisine with a golden touch, look no further than Forno d’Oro—one of the city’s most beloved Italian restaurants, known for its true Neapolitan pizza, premium ingredients, and a wood-fired oven dipped in gold.
Located just north of Avenida da Liberdade, in the upscale neighborhood of Avenida/Marquês de Pombal, Forno d’Oro has carved a name for itself as one of Lisbon’s top dining destinations—not only for Italian food lovers, but for anyone who appreciates honest, artisan-crafted cuisine with soul.
🍽️ The Cuisine: Neapolitan Tradition with Portuguese Passion
Helmed by Chef Tanka Sapkota, Forno d’Oro is a certified member of the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana, meaning it adheres to the rigorous standards of true Neapolitan pizza-making. Every pizza is baked in a stunning wood-fired oven covered in 24k gold mosaic tiles—an homage to both luxury and tradition.
Highlights on the menu include:
Margherita D.O.P. – the true classic with San Marzano tomatoes and buffalo mozzarella
Pizza Trufa Nera – with black truffle, burrata, and porcini
Homemade pastas – including pappardelle with ragu and tagliolini al tartufo
Portuguese-Italian fusion dishes – such as pizza topped with Alentejo black pork or local goat cheese
The restaurant also boasts a superb selection of Italian and Portuguese wines, as well as over 100 craft beers, making it a go-to for foodies and beer aficionados alike.
🔥 The Atmosphere: Casual Elegance with a Golden Glow
Forno d’Oro strikes a perfect balance between refined and relaxed. The open kitchen offers a glimpse of the pizza oven in action, and the golden centerpiece of the room makes for a bold yet elegant statement. It’s a popular choice for both family lunches and intimate dinners.
