THE MENU
25 April 2000
The idea was simple: bring Lisbon an authentic Italian pizza in the Roman tradition, light dough with its own distinctive texture. Maria Paola Porru, who had opened Casanostra in Bairro Alto in 1986, took up Manuel Reis’s challenge and opened the pizzeria on 25 April 2000, on the same quay where Lux had opened two years earlier. The closeness soon earned it the nickname “the Lux pizzas”, which we have never been ashamed of.


Twenty-five years on
It took several trips to Italy to go deeper into how the dough is worked, to find the right suppliers of mozzarella and everything else, and to train the house’s first team of pizzaioli. The original wood-fired ovens came from Italy too, built specially for the space. They are in full view of the room and are, symbolically and materially, the centrepiece of Casanova.

OUR SPACE
Set in an old port warehouse,
Casanova lives off its relationship with the river.
