Alternative : take an Uber. They pick up in the arrivals area. Price is about the same (10-15 Euro depending on where you go and traffic) but there is zero risk of fraud and it is much easier to pay (for someone with limited language and Euro experience).

be careful when arriving in Lisbon. Take Care of your belongs. Very often when people distract a bit to buy a bottle of water or a coffee they have their belongs stolen at the airport.
Be careful with taxi drivers specially with the oficial taxis you get at the airport. They will do their best to cheat you. For instance today a friend got a táxi at the airport to the Camp o Grande station. The táxi driver fixed the price before and charged him 15 euros. This journey shouldnt cost more than 6 or 7 euros.
In another time they tried to charge me 10 euros besides the final price showed on screen, arguing that was a busy day and they coldnt do short trips. So, because my trip was short he Said he had the right to charge me 10 euros extra. Luckly I knew That was a trick and I didnt paid. Unfortunatly many tourists a victims of this.

We got a cab from the airport to the city for 12 Euro we gave him 15 as we were happy after reading all the horror stories before coming here.

You should expect something between 9 – 15€, more than that is suspicious/wrong.

I am from Lisbon and live in Sweden now. When Traveling home I take the taxi from the Airport out to Oeiras (on the suburbs and also a extra taxed ride since it’s outside Lisbon Municipality). It costs me between 25-30€.

The Lisbon airport site you named is not the official one. www.ana.pt is.

Check also this about different rates at different days/times, and this unofficial site with some info also.

You can also go to the Tourist office inside the Airport and buy a fixed price ride. 19.20€ was the price I found for weekends.

The 10€ figure meshes with my memory as well as Wikivoyage. It should be a little less during daytime, perhaps a little more with a luggage or night-time surcharge. Wikivoyage also mentions a 18€ voucher which should be higher than the real rate.

Taxis are legally required to have fares posted and to have a working meter. If in doubt, ask the driver for a ballpark amount first.

There are dishonest taxi drivers in Lisbon (like anywhere else I imagine). The rate you were quoted is a lot higher than the market rate and seems to be intended to surcharge unaware visitors.
