"(Translated by Google) Super nice place with very different options of starters and dishes, but it lacks a beer list.
(Original)
Local super agradável com opções bem diferentes de entradas e de pratos, mas falta uma carta de cervejas."
Augusto Costa
"(Translated by Google) The food was good, baked provolone and pasta with pesto sauce are sensational, but it is extremely expensive (1 glass of juice 11 reais), I ordered pizza and the waiter came back saying he didn't have it, I was going to order picanha, but it is very expensive and There is no follow-up. Then I went to order rice and farofa to go with it and the waiter said there was no farofa... Dishes took around 40 minutes to arrive and the restaurant was empty at the time.
(Original)
A comida estava boa, provolone ao forno e macarrão ao molho pesto são sensacionais, porém é extremamente caro (1 copo de suco 11 reais), pedi pizza e o garçom voltou dizendo que não tinha, ia pedir picanha, mas ela é muito cara e não vem acompanhamento. Daó fui pedir arroz e farofa de acompanhamento e o garçom disse que não tinha farofa... Pratos demoraram cerca de 40 minutos para chegar e o restaurante estava vazio na hora."

"(Translated by Google) Very bad service! The restaurant has few tables and yet the service leaves something to be desired... we waited almost an hour for the starters to be served, after complaining a few times... some main dishes arrived before the starter, others didn't arrive... I won't be back !
(Original)
Atendimento muito ruim! O restaurante tem poucas mesas e ainda assim o serviço deixa a desejar... esperamos quase uma hora para servirem as entradas, isso depois de reclamarmos algumas vezes... alguns pratos principais chegaram antes da entrada, outros não chegaram... não volto!"
