Esqueça toda a onda gourmet…read moreque vivemos e vá comer um PF sem nenhuma frescura num balcão único que contorna o "restaurante" inteiro e sentado num daqueles bancos fixos no chão. O cardápio conta com dezenas de opções: massas, contrafilé ou a boa e velha combinação feijão - delicioso - com arroz junto de diversos acompanhamentos servidos sempre com um mini pão francês, farofa e uma lata do tradicional azeite português; este da mesma nacionalidade dos donos que preparam um bacalhau famoso nas sextas, mas que ainda não provei. Sucos naturais são servidos em copos e jarras num preço bem camarada, entre $3 e $7. Na sobremesa, a pedida é sem dúvida o pudim de leite ($4) que lembra bastante aquele da geladeira da vovó. O Ita é um lugar em que se come bastante e muito bem por um preço ridiculamente baixo se comparado a maioria dos restaurantes da cidade. Como recomendação fica o Paissandu: arroz, feijão, bife e um ovo frito por $12, que foi o que comi por enquanto, mas quando voltar - e não tenho dúvidas que vou - edito a review caso prove algum prato melhor.

I do recommend to request the mayo on the side, since it's extremely sloppy. Ordered a chops black beer for a perfect lunch. :))

Another overpriced and overrated SP restaurant. Similar to The Fifties in that the the burgers are…read moreslightly better then McDonald's. What you pay for here is the nicer venue, decor and experience I would avoid getting burgers here unless you have no choice. Ritz is right around the corner and a much better option for burgers.

I went to Dona Vitamina to try to cram in some healthy food after eating a few too many pão de…read morequeijos and I wasn't disappointed! The açaí smoothie came out first and was perfectly thick and sweetened just enough - it was delicious. The mushroom wrap was great as well. I'm not a big bread eater (for sandwiches) so I likely would have asked for it without a wrap had I thought ahead. However, the spinach wrap was good and a great seasoning to it. This place is a bit more on the pricey side (in line with other restaurants in the area) - my meal was about $13 USD which is a little less than what I would have paid for a comparable meal in the US. If you're not on a strict budget then I'd recommend a detox meal here!

Place is rad and charming!

Came to Dona Vitamina to check it out and it's awesome! Open decor, a garden in the back of the room, vertical garden, open kitchen, smiling service staff, magazine rack, truly felt like I was having breakfast somewhere around Rodrigo de Freitas Lake in Rio. Menu has a wide range from vitaminas (smoothies), wraps, sandwiches, pão de queijo, bread, cakes, the list goes on. Though it's a healthy place, so no flaky croissants stuffed with ham and cheese, chocolate, etc. Since I had a bikram class to attend, I picked a açaí bowl which probably could feed three people easily, sliced banana e a side of granola along. Ommmm...

They have a good combo if you want to make it easy. The burger meat is good texture, well-done but not dry. My only detractor is the large soft bun (sticks to roof of my mouth) and the meat to bread ratio was off. I prefer less bun. Others may like this. Will come back....

The acai was also so delicious and fresh. This place is a must try! It's very comfortable and they have comfortable seating.

Homesick cariocas in SP? Look no further!…read more Same owner as Casa da Praia has created the best place for a Saturday or Sunday lunch that makes you feel like you are on the beach. A good selection of açaí in different forms, all types of juices you could want, cold coconuts, salads and traditional Brazilian dishes. Families, couples, friends. All like it here. Plus they show football and serve beer! (Good to know that the lines can get pretty long though.)
