Really nice authentic italian, big portions but quite over priced (as many other places in Rio)…read more Service was a bit chaotic as the restaurant was completely full, there was live music and air conditioner was not working in a very hot day. I wish they had more vegetarian options and lighter dishes too, italian food is not all about pasta only. It's a safe place for generous and good italian dishes though.

Came on a monday night and we immediatelly found carmelo nice and cozy. We got menues in english…read morewich is a big plus. Hard to decide what to eat, everything sounded delicious. Took the ravioli with cheese and tomato/basilsause. My friend took a steak with bbq-sause and potatoes. The meat was so tender!! My pasta was the best thing i had eaten in My entire Brasilian-trip! I highly recomend this place! 10/10!

Every pasta dish is amazing! They make everything fresh and cook it to perfection. Fresh…read moreingredients and not overly seasoned. It's simply great! 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. One thing to note is this is a cash only restaurant and the tip is not included (but please take care of our waiter!)

Got to this Italian restaurant for dinner, we have got a great service and the food was amazing!…read moreHighly recommended

Armazém is located on the 12th floor of Shopping Vertical in downtown Rio…read more Ive had their spaghetti with shrimp, spaghetti alho oleo with beef, and chicken lasagna. I will say, I do not recommend the lasagna. Granted I had this only once, but it was not a good option. As the kitchen space is limited, the cooking of the lasagna was not good - felt like it was frozen and reheated and not in a good way. So, I recommend you always go for a pasta dish (these have always been amazing). they make the pasta on the spot (as you pay you can see the cooks on the stove tossing the pastas). Usually around R$24-26 you get a good serving of flavorful pasta.

Came here after a free walking tour of the city of Rio. I enjoyed the atmosphere and company! My…read morewife got the Petto di Pollo Ripieno and I got the Feijoada. My wife's dish tasted amazing. The mixture of chicken, cheese and ham was fantastic with a side of potatoes and vegetables. I really love the meal! My meal on the hand was disappointing. I got a bowl of beans with a huge piece of bone rather than meat. In fact, my meat portion was smaller than half my pink size. Super disappointed, that's why the 3 stars.

I was trying to find a decent place in the Centro to eat pizza and this one fits the bill. I…read moreordered a pizza with prosciutto (presunto Parma) and funghi and enjoyed it, the dough is nice, cheese ok, sauce could use just a touch more salt but overall, it's a nice pizza, baked in a wood oven, which is certainly a plus. Also a bonus, it's situated in a very quaint side street so there is even room for a nice terrace. On the minus side, the service is customarily slow (I had to get up and ask for a bill since no one was paying any attention to me) and they don't accept the Sodexo card (but that's just my own perticular gripe).
