Nove means nine. It is the number on the red door at Rua dos Remédios 9, halfway up a steep lane in Alfama.

Inside there is one small room with 38 seats, and most evenings every one of them is taken.

Each afternoon, before the first guest arrives, the pasta is rolled on a flour-dusted wooden board. Semolina, eggs, a brass cutter, and an hour of patience.

We cook dinner only, Tuesday to Saturday from 19:00. Sunday and Monday the door stays shut.
