The Rio Brazilian restaurant has interesting service and food presentation. There is a place card at each seat. One side informs the wait staff to continue to bring a variety of meats on a skewer. The other simple says STOP. The staff cuts the meat right off the skewer in front of you. The service is pretty cool. They have... More

If you want good rodizio in the general vicinity, you really can't beat the places in Newark.Our visit to this Brazillian BBQ the meats seemed salty, and some were tough. Also, the extras that normally accompany rodizio just weren't as tasty and unique as one would expect (fried plantains, rice, beans, fries, etc). However, that being said Rio 22 isn't... More

Music was a little loud so we had to raise our volume to communicate and once we did we were able to enjoy our company and... More

It is not a five star restaurant. Nevertheless, the place looks great, nice relaxing, romantic atmosphere. If you are a food lover this is a place for you. Salad bar is so so but the rodizio style meat is really good. Would recomend this place for sure More

We had dinner there, as had our son and future daughter in law, a few times and thought it would be the perfect location for the wedding rehearsal dinner. And it was. We were in the private dining room downstairs - 28 people - Junior Barbosa, the banquet manager, had told me it would be a beautiful setup and he... More

Went to Rio 22 on a recent trip to NJ. First experience at a Brazilian steakhouse so I do not have anything to compare it too, other than regular steakhouses. I thought that the meats were good, very well seasoned, but some red meats did tend to be overdone/tough by the time they made it to the table. They keep... More
