The restaurant opened without any warning last Friday, and it remains uncertain when the celebrity chef will travel to Portugal to do the honours.
Jamie’s Italian already numbers 60 restaurants across the globe.
Jamie Oliver’s website describes the new venue as being located right in the heart of Lisbon and as such, “Jamie’s Italian is the perfect place for any occasion” and “offers a delicious and rustic menu, served in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.”
The restaurant is based on homemade pizzas, fresh pasta and seasonal Italian-inspired dishes.
