Beware, strong caipirinhas! There was a helpful manager (I think his name started with an "L") with salt & pepper hair and glasses. He recommended dishes and helped translate with the cooks. Dessert is a la carte and not included in the buffet. If I wasn't so full, I would've tried the mile high apple pie.

Pair it with a nice wine or caipirinha like we did (this time we skipped dinner and just had the drinks). Best place in GRU airport by far!

Unfortunately, the international variety of corporate fast food places at GRU are probably more predictable and consistent than this place.

I was not disappointed! The filet was tender and juicy. It was accompanied by a salad and mashed yuka (I think). They delivered a fine selection of olive oils (one very spicy) and balsamic vinegar. There is a bar open to the area that at times does a lot of business! The wait staff and bartenders are friendly and attentive. The location is good for and airport. Situated near the escalator in terminal 2 before the walkway to terminal 3. This gives a great spot to people watch while eating or drinking. When I return to São Paulo this will be my spot!

I would give it 3 stars but it's the OLIVE GARDEN IN BRAZIL so you get a 20% raise off the bat…read more First thing's first: it's not exactly the same and you'll spend a little more. The waiters aren't working for your tips the way they would be in Bakersfield, CA so don't expect refilled anything. This is Brazil and nobody will give you free water anyways. So keep that in mind. Overall the food tastes the same. You won't get fuckloads of breadsticks like you would in Bakersfield... But you'll still feel nice and trashy and full of gas as you board your flight. You'll sleep like a baby

Olive Garden at the airport! I haven't been to Olive Garden in ages, so it was nice to find a…read morelittle bit of home in Brazil. The decor looked similar to the Olive Gardens back home in terms of the seating and plates and menus and stuff. Food was similar, too. I was able to request an English menu, so that was nice because I don't know Portuguese. However, I wanted the unlimited soup and salad meal, and the server didn't really offer that to me. After requesting a soup and then a salad, I sat for a long time with my empty dishes... and no one ever came by again to ask if I wanted anything else. Did they not expect me to order any more food? I guess I'm a piggy that wanted more, and I really had to go bug someone to get another soup. All-in-all, it was okay, but not a fabulous experience. One of my soups was lukewarm and not piping hot, so that wasn't great, either. But beggars can't be choosers for a taste of home.
