I am so happy I came in here based on a recommendation from my hotel. I came in on a Sunday…read moreafternoon around 4:30. The place was full and the customers were locals. A plate with olives and eggplant and garlic butter was promptly brought out with bread. My server spoke a bit of English and it was appreciated how welcoming d he made me feel. There is a QR code on the table that you can scan for an English menu. Thankfully I listened to the server in his suggestion that I order a half salad to go with the Green Lasagne I was ordering. I ordered a cap rede and even the half portion was huge. The tomatoes were big and thick slices. Yummy. My green lasagne was amazing. The server puts a portion on your plate. Good thing, since half of that came back to the hotel with me also. The lasagne was scrumptious. It had ham in it and a white sauce. So very good. I ended to ordering a tiramisu to go. My server packed up everything for me and put it in a nice bag. Based on the number of bags I saw on other tables, that seems to be the norm. The portion sizes are large and the food and service are excellent. A clear winner. I will definitely be back.

I've gone for lunch twice and enjoy sitting outside taking in the sun, sharing a bottle of white wine and splitting a pizza or bowl of savory spaghetti. The surrounding area is perfect for shopping, so it's no surprise that this spot attracts the well-heeled of São Paulo. You're likely to hear a number of different languages spoken at nearby tables and the menu comes in both English and Portuguese. Scene aside, I have been impressed with the food. The pizza is top notch, and of the thin crust Naples style, and the pasta dishes have been equally as toothsome. A great Saturday or Sunday lunch spot.

The arugula salad with honey dressing may not sound like much but I loved its simple brightness.

I had an excellent meal here last night with my husband and a family friend who was visiting from…read morethe U.S. We all loved what we ate - I had the trenetti with tomatoes, strips of filet, mushrooms and fresh parmesan; my husband had the risotto with veal; and our friend had pasta stuffed with veal. We ordered a very nice Chilean white wine and enjoyed the focaccia and olive spread that started off the meal. The atmosphere is sophisticated and elegant. We sat in the front of the restaurant, which I think is a bit less crowded and noisy than toward the back near the open kitchen. There is a also an upstairs that looked very nice and intimate. The service was very good as well. Our waiter was attentive, but left us alone to chat after we had finished our meal. We had no trouble getting a table, but we went early by Brazilian standards (7:30) on a Sunday night. I imagine it gets quite crowded on Friday and Saturday nights. I thought the prices were inline with what I've paid at other nice restaurants in Sao Paulo - about R$40, $20 U.S. - for pasta, a bit more for the meat or seafood entrees. We were all too full to think about dessert (the portion sizes are quite generous), but I would like to come back to try them because I've heard good things!

Although, they had an English language menu which was perfect! I ordered the Saint Peter which was a seared fish fillet with asparagus and broccoli and carrot infused rice. I could not get over how delicious the rice was, but the fish was okay due to the fact that it tasted premade and lukewarm. Also, I ordered iced tea, but it was the sweetened Lipton tea in a can. It was okay. Overall, I was satisfied with a decent sit down meal. It is easier to pay with a credit card as opposed to paying cash. It took them a while to locate cash to provide me changed.
