    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.
