If you try to find Pitico on an extremely crowded night on the street they're on in Pinheiros, you…read morecould miss it like I did. Now, I did use Google Maps and when it told me I had arrived, I didn't see a sign or what looked to be an entrance to a bar front, so I kept walking thinking I would come across a giant illuminated sign. I went back and realized I was standing right in front of the entrance the entire time, lol.. noticed the tiny tiny tiny lit up sign high up (not eye-level from the street) and the staff / security maybe standing / sitting by the front of a black gate. You'll walk down a little hallway into the main area of the bar where there tons of picnic tables, beach chairs gathered around little side tables, one place to order drinks and food where you see the menu on the wall. The kitchen is on the opposite end where your food will be delivered to wherever you choose to sit as you'll receive a number. The bar in the back contains cocktail drinks. The noise level isn't extremely loud, but could be depending on where you are sitting. If you're trying to talk to someone to get to know them it might be difficult unless you are sitting fairly close to one another. Atmosphere is really chill. I came here at night and I liked this spot. It was clean, open (outdoors open air), and the people were chill. You can bring your dog. Large groups of friends will do well here. I had cerveja and some food that was really tasty! I would order the same thing again. It was the perfect snack. Unfortunately, I can't remember the name of it off the top of my head anymore. It came on two skewers and I think had pita or some type of bread on the side to use with a spread brought out on a wooden board. I don't remember what time it was, but I had thought they were closing kind of early for being a bar. No worries though as there are plenty of other bars to check out in the area if you don't feel like going home right away.

Know that feeling like hiking through tropical jungle and suddenly see a white polar bear (LOST)?…read moreWell, there is no polar bear here, but right after stepping out from Yelp's HH, we were instigated by some noise, not too loud, but we could hear people talking and having fun, dim and far light lamps, although, all we could see promptly was the back of a black container. Curious, we walked toward the light and discovered Pitico! Great drinks but the food is alright. Also, great place to meet some interesting people. Side note: if it's raining, avoid this place, it's mostly open.

This spot has been recommended by quite a few of my fellow Yelpers and it really does justice to…read morethe secretive buzz surrounding it. The place is small with intimate tables - maximum for 4 people, low lighting and attentive serving. There is no valet parking so it's better to start looking for a spot to park on the street once you're around. I ordered a negroni and boy O' boy - what a drink. Perfectly balanced, well served i just is one of the best negronis in the city. The appetizers are good, try the glazed tomato bruschetta - perfect combination of sweet and salty. Didn't eat the main course and went for the dessert - a 'doce de leite folhada' with strawberries - damn !! just thinking about it makes my mouth water. A definite return to the place and kudos to Anderson, the bartender for his skills!!

I'm struggling to decide whether or not I should leave three or four stars. I was seated promptly,…read morebut that was where the prompt service ended. It took about 20 minutes to take my order, another 20 minutes to get my entrée, and then another 20 minutes to wave down a server to take the plate and ask for my bill. I had an entrée salad which was mostly iceberg lettuce, but I wasn't very hungry and the rest of the ingredients were quite delicious. The restaurant itself is upscale and beautiful. I can imagine going on a date here. Overall, I probably would not come back due to the extremely slow service, but so many things on the menu looked delicious so I wouldn't entirely rule it out.

Really good atmosphere with great food. Try the coconut flan dessert. We sat outside in the covered…read moreseating area: it has a great area and is in a good neighborhood. The Chilean wine was tasty for under 10$. They have big beers in liter bottles from Paraguay, I think. The medallion filet was tasty.
