This is a great place to get some food. But that is about it. The service is not that good and they pack the place with tables on top of tables. The food is good and the prices are ok. But don't come here expecting great ambience etc. This is a place to get good food at a ok price.

My colleague and I were staying at the Copacabana Palace and frequented this place several times over a two week period. We always enjoyed our food and I particularly liked their chicken gnocchi with Marsala Sauce. The Gnocchi is probably the lightest I've ever tasted and the Marsala sauce is also very light and tasty. We could also get our... More

Good food reasonably priced for Rio. Restaurant is like trattorias the world over, a bit cliched Italian but the food and service was good. It wasn't overpriced as a lot of Rio restaurants can be.

Ok. One block from copacabana palace. Nothing fancy but good simple pastas and Italian. Nice change from eating all meat while in brasil. I had the raviolini and liked it. Good value, good food but nothing special. Recommend. They have English menu if you need.

This restaurant was right next door to our hotel. After passing by it every day, we decided to finally eat there one night. It was packed when we walked in (locals & tourists). The pace here was very fast but service was adequate. I was satisfied with my wine selection. Unable to fully recall the food we had but i=I... More

... but good value for your money. There are other restaurants in Rio that are better and much more expensive but definitely also restaurants that are more overrated in relation to their prices.

Nice little restuarant with good food. Deco is a bit dated. Service is fast. Very busy place with fast turnaround. Very good value and makes a change from all those steak houses.
