I went there with my wife and we liked it a lot, especially because of the great reception and creative food. We ordered farfalle (pasta with tomatoes, basil, garlic and mussarela di búfala) and prime rib with Italian potatoes. I also recommend the white chocolate petit gateau! Everything there is very tasty!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20071 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20054
The one in Rio is a great nightclub for those who love to dance crazy, with arms and legs wide open because it’s spacious there. I danced 'carioca' funk all night and it was pretty funny! Almost forgot to praise the drinks - very creative and tasty.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20054 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20052 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20052 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20043
I recommend it because they serve real Brazilian food for a very cheap price. To start, ask for "caldinho de feijão" (it's like a soup made with beans), then order a plate with rice, beans, "farofa", french fries and a grilled steak. I'm sure you will love it!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20043 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20040 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20040 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20039
I recommend it because there you can taste the most famous Brazilian plate – Feijoada! They serve a very tasty one and besides that, people there will attend to you pretty good.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20039 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19988 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19988 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19957
My favourite plates are: wraps to eat and frozen drinks (made with 100% fruit).]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19957 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19956
I loved it there, mainly because of the relaxed atmosphere. The place is very clean and cozy too.

The home-made Italian ice-cream is pretty good! I'm an Italian citizen and I totally approved it!

I also recommend to ask for the tasty sandwiches they have - Felice barbecue is my favourite!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19956 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19775 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19775 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19774 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19774 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19773 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19773 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19576 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19576 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18624
I heartily recommend this restaurant - one of the best in Rio (in Botofogo) but also one of the most laid-back and, having just looked on their website, it seems to be winning lots of foodie prizes.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18624 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17906 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17906 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17874 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17874 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17823
In the Casa de Feijoada, it's an everyday ritual (unlike other restaurants around where they only serve it on Saturdays and Sundays). It's basically a bean soup with pieces of meat, such as sausage, sundried beef and pork, seasoned to taste. Somehow I thought a bit of Tabasco sauce would bring it all together, but alas, not necessary as the dish itself has some zest to it.

Don't pass up on the opportunity to try this spectacular food while in Rio, or you might regret it!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17823 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17817
There’s plenty of restaurants, bars, store - great stuff. I really enjoyed the feijoada they had there, and we ate it at a restaurant called Brasileirinho. Pretty good food, polite staff and great desserts]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17817 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17794
It was quite far from where we stayed in, but it was worth it! Really good food!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17794
