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

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.

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.
