    If the photos I took are any indication, our lunch at Alessandro e Frederico was quite the savory affair. Primely located in Ipanema, this café serves up a fantastic lunch and also offers the pre fixe executive menu option (where you can select a starter, entree and dessert) for a set price. The three of us ordered off this menu and found each dish to be super fresh and well-flavored. My penne primavera was simple but perfect, my neighbor's steak dish (offered with rice and baby potatoes) was equally toothsome and our guest's fish of the day (lightly fried topped with a homemade sauce and served with rice) was sublime. While we weren't sure what to expect, Alessandro e Frederico proved to be a wise choice.

    After soaking up the rays on the beach, we decided to head into one of the side streets and found this little gem. On a Sunday afternoon the place was pretty full though we were able to get a table right away. This is definitely in a fancier area than some of the restaurants we went to so I felt a little underdressed in my beach gear. We ordered an orange juice and some other orange looking juice and both were delish!!!! The OJ was so fresh...maybe they were squeezing the oranges in the kitchen as to why it took a while to get. For an app we had the fig and Brie bruschetta which had a heaping pile of some sort of dried meat - soooo good! For lunch we had the salmon quiche and salmon omelette. The quiche was heavenly and a nice portion size! The crust was super flaky and the salmon had a nice smoked taste. The salmon omelette was also tasty but the eggs were cooked a tad too long. Both dishes came with a green salad which I didn't eat because I loved to main dish so much. Ambiance is very cool and casual! The staff were very friendly and welcoming!!

    Menu: we picked #16 Cafe Bianco. Sooooo good and lots of food!

    We wanted to try out the Leblon Art festival special but the waiter claimed they were out. They…read moredidn't have anything up as far as advertising like we've seen at other restaurants. Nevertheless we tried out a few of the items on their regular menu. The brie stuffed filet was quite tasty, a little red in the middle but tender. It was smothered in a mushroom sauce and coupled with garlic noodles. The risotto was delicious, made from whole brown grain and was cheesy and flavorful. It included two stems of asparagus wrapped in pancetta which was also quite delicious and topped with a sunny-side up egg. It went well with a glass of pear champagne. This place, along with most of the restaurants in Leblon is pricy but you do get good quality food. Service was fine and on a cool night, it's nice to sit outside and dine al fresco.

On the bright side, that was pretty much the only negative part of my experience here. I opted for a glass of wine and filet stuffed with Brie cheese. Their selection of wines by the glass wasn't huge, the the red wine I selected from Spain was flavorful and a nice accompaniment for the steak. As for the meat, the dish was delicious. I've never had steak stuffed with anything really, so the idea of filling it with Brie caught my attention. It was just the right amount and gave the steak, which would have been great on its own, even more appeal. The restaurant does end up a little on the pricy side, but for this part of Leblon and marketed as a fancy Italian place, that shouldn't come as a surprise. Worth the trip, even if they don't always have everything they advertise.

    I recently watched Francis Ford Coppola's classic movie "The Godfather" over again. If the story…read morefrom that movie had taken place in Rio, Coppola might have chosen Cantina Donanna in Copacabana as the place to assassinate the corrupt police captain Mark McCluskey. Thoughts of The Godfather instantly came into my head when I first saw this small family run restaurant. The look of it is just right, the way you'd expect an old-time authentic Italian restaurant to look. Handmade pasta is the bottom line for this place. If you choose the proper sauce to pair with it, you will be fine. I had spaghetti with ruccola and shrimps. They cooked the salad in the shrimp sauce; I had never seen it done that way before. My friend had a sauce made from catupiri, mushrooms nuts, and shrimps. It was totally awful; there was a lake of it, and it both completely drowned and overpowered the pasta.. If you dine here, stick to the Italian-style sauces and you'll be a happy camper. The quality of the pasta was good; it was al dente and well made, however it doesn't taste or look different from industrial pasta at all. The food not withstanding, what unquestionably brought my rating of this restaurant down to three stars was the service. The waiters were negligent. When asked for fresh ground pepper they simply put the pepper mill on the table. Menus were not brought until we had been sitting for 15 minutes, and it took three requests before we could get our check at the end of the meal.

    Delicious homemade pasta and fresh, made from scratch sauces. Authentic Italian and highly…read morerecommend.

    The first time we came here is wasn't too impressive because they had so many things missing off…read morethe menu. So we decided to give it another chance when it was a busier weekend. This place gets full on a Saturday night so we made sure we grabbed a table before it became impossible. We ordered a good mix of things to taste them all the cheese and meat plate came with a variety of each (3) though they didn't explain what exactly was on it. They ranged from harder to softer cheese each quite distinct. It was accompanied by some bread that also had good flavor to it. We tried each of the 6 different types of bruschetta: goat cheese with fig and honey, classic with tomato and basil, mushroom with melted Brie, shredded duck, gorgonzola with arugula and nuts. They had a bean one but later told us they were out so we doubled up on the classic. All were impressively good with decent bread. I would say there are better then Prima. The bolinhos arancini we tried were also decent, one with shrimp another with meat and the third with mushroom. The caipirinhas here are good too and they have my favorite cachaça, Leblon.

    Three stars only because of lack of availability of items on the menu (as we only discovered once…read morewe tried to order them). The items we were able to order, however, were delicious. The place does seem to be targeted toward those wanting cocktails and tapas, but they have some entree type choices too. I didn't get to order a cocktail though because they had Jeffrey, one of my favorite beers here. The place is clearly popular among locals and there is always a crowd, inside and out. As I mentioned earlier, if the place had everything they listed, or at least if the waiter told us what wasn't available, I would have given the place 4 stars.
