I ordered gnocchi with cheese salsa. Honestly, it wasn't the best... I expected better, but the restaurant is very good value for money (only 38R$), so I can't really complain, which is why I give it 4 stars. What's more, the waitress was very nice! I recommend if you're looking for a cheap but decent Italian restaurant.

We are from São Paulo and we moved to the Botafogo area. This restaurant was recommended by a friend of my husband. We really enjoyed the dishes we tried, the prices are fair, and my favorite is the Carbonara. We definitely recommend this place!

The food is good but I was expecting something amazing after reading all the reviews… I thought my pasta was not hot enough. The highlight was the tomate sauce, indeed really good. Service was not friendly.

The food is actually extremely nice, especially for the price. Was not expecting this quality. I am from Europe and used to eat at Good Italian places :) The space itself feels more like they are more focused on delivery. However, you can still really take your time to sit down and enjoy the food. Would really recommend

Very good and reasonable casual italian style restaurant (self service). It's not particularly classic italian, more an Italian place in Brazil. Dishes with a lot of cheese, creamy sauces, parmesan with shrimp pasta. Probably close to Italian places in new york. Tasty.

Some of the best paste we've ever eaten and great value! We had the prawn carbonara, lasagne and tiramisu. I wish we had time to go back before we left Rio.
