The salmon carpaccio is also recommended and at some point I will update this review to include the meat dishes and pizzas which look great but I never got to them since the pastas are all so good.

TLDR: Stopped for dinner at Pici's and the food was great, service super slow though…read more We had a reservation at Pici and we were promptly seated. Walked in and the ambience wowed us. We then placed the order for our apps and main course - suppli (arrancini kinda starters) and mushroom truffle pasta and Pesce del giorno (seafood). The food was delicious. Seafood was fantastic and the pasta with truffle sauce was great. We then had to wait a long time to even place the order for the dessert - tiramisu. When the dessert arrived it was fantastic and one of the best tiramisus I have ever had. After this we had to wait for more than 15 mins just for the check. While the food is good, the service is slow. We arrived at 6:45 and left at 9:05pm - so you do the match. This place can get busy during peak dinner hours. All in all good food and I can see why they got the michelin stars a few years.

They offer valet parking and have two levels for seating. Italian cuisine - they have pasta, meats and fish. They pasta is freshly house made and great! Main note: Restaurant accepts only cash or cheque. So make sure you come prepared. No Debit or Credit cards. Price of each dish was R$40-75ish, depending on the dish. They have a large diveristy of types of pastas. Portion sizing is good too. I had a filet (beef) with pasta. Meat was good and pasta was al dente. Desserts were also good. I tried the Caramelo Mil Folhas and it was so light and crunchy and perfect! They are open daily for dinner, and lunch is only available on Sunday. Even though payment methods are limited, it is totally worth a try.

The service was great, but of course we are only English speaking. So be patient because just like everywhere else in Rio, barely anyone speaks English.

From my one experience here ordering the meal Completo, my impression was that this is your place…read moreif you can tolerate quantity over quality. The dining space consists of a small indoors and a decent sized outdoors patio. My waitress was not exceptionally friendly when I tried to order in Portugese and when I asked for clarification in English she didn't try to help. The Completo meal itself was very massive and came in several installments. They started off with the drinks, freshly squeezed orange juice and a cafe con leiche (basically a latte), both were delicious but came too early. Next came the scrambled eggs which were consumable on its own but was rather bland and no salt nor pepper were available on the table. They then brought out the cold cuts, cheese and jam without the bread basket for several minutes so I sat there thinking if I should just start eating each individually and cut my losses. However, when the bread basket came, oh was it glorious!! As mentioned in my picture, it included several cut sourdoughs, plain bread and whole wheat, as well as a fresh butter croissant and a few pão de quiejos. They were all warm to the touch and crispy, which makes me think (or at least hope) they were made semi fresh. The jam, cheese and cold cuts they provided were plentiful to create several sweet and/or savory mini sandwiches to devour. I loved this basket and emptied it promptly; it was the highlight of my meal and definitely not to be missed when visiting. I had recently travelled to Portugal so I had to try this cafe's pasteis de nata and boy did it resemble the freshly baked Pasteis de Belem in Lisboa. Like the bread basket, it was warm and crispy. Would HIGHLY recommend passerbys to try this! All in all, this was a mediocre dining experience with an INCREDIBLE bread basket and pasteis de nata (let that be the positive takeaway). If you're hungry, this is the place to be for its copious meals, otherwise you can probably find better quality in the various cafes across Ipanema.
