This was probably the worst meals we had on our two week Brazil trip. Granted we ordered a simple…read moresalad as a starter, nevertheless, we did expect something a bit more exciting than a large pile of stale lettuce with two tomatoes hiding at the bottom and no salad dressing of any kind. The pizza was entirely ordinary as well with a hard rubbery crust. Apart from the (lack of) food quality, the ambiance wasn't particularly charming either. We spoke only broken Portuguese but certainly didn't deserve the scorn of the wait staff, who were unanimously curt and borderline rude. The kitchen also kept spewing smoke in our direction which caused some serious eye burn. Not exactly sure what they were cooking, err, burning in there. I pity the customers who had to eat it! In sum, find a different place. My cat can make better food. And she's less grumpy to boot!

The pizza is quite good but I would defiantly say easy on the cheese but other than that it is ok…read more English prices.

Before I arrived in Brazil, I laid down an unltimatum with my long-suffering girlfriend; "Let's eat…read morelocal food, we're going to Brazil, no Pizza, no burgers!". After a week, I cracked when I saw the Pizzaria de Cidade. I love Pizza, despite my outburst. I especially love it when it has been cooked in a wood fired oven, which is what drew me towards it's welcoming doors. We were greeted by an enthusiastic waiter who showed us to our table and then faded discretely into the background until we wanted to order. Waiters for me should be like ninjas, always lurking in the background until they're needed, when they should silently swoop in and with a flash of their pen slice through their notepad. The pizzas on offer were pretty standard in their combinations, think traditional rather than experimental. I'm all for banana and chocolate pizzas, but let's keep some food serious. We ordered the Neapolitan, big enough for two people. It arrived piping hot and smelled utterly amazing. The taste did not disappoint, the garlic was amazingly flavoursome but didn't crowd out the cheese and tomato. One interesting feature of the restaurant is it's collection of olive oils. If Mad Max ever got re-envisaged in Brazil, I know where I'd be heading to refuel my car... They had what looked like hundreds of different bottles of oil, which the waiter would visit and bring over 4 bottles which he thought would complement the pizza in different ways. It was a nice extra touch that made the experience even more enjoyable. To sum up then, I really loved eating at the Pizzeria, they got everything right and served some delicious and authentic pizza. Well worth a visit if you find yourself in Paraty.

The owner and chef, Adolfo, makes the experience so much awesome. I've eaten at Michelin rate restaurants in Paris and other parts of the world and this place it right up there too. Do try the steak tartare! Try all the specials! I have the duck confit (special) and it was cooked to 3 hrs of perfection. The wine selection is small but I hate going through pages of the wine list at most places anyway. I had a nice Chilean Cab and yeah I know some of the wine snobs may be shocked I didn't go with a white for my duck but I really don't care. Food was great, the small ambiance was delightful,service is top notch and Adolfo definitely has a passion for his food. Do yourself a favor and experience this gem when you're in town. And don't forget to make reservation in advance!

I walked to this place and there was a gentlemen at the tent waiting to greet people. Then a lady working the front desk open the door for me so I think she was the host. They let me choose where I wanted to sit so I chose the table next to the bar. The restaurant is very nicely decorated inside but kind of dim where the bar is. I got the 609 Medaglione with targone salsa, I asked for the targone salsa on the side and used a English to Translator app since the waiter couldn't understand me. He never asked how I wanted my steak cook so I was interested to see how it comes out. I also ordered a coke for my drink. The food did take a while to come out but it was worth it. The filet mignon was cooked to medium rare and I actually like the targone sauce. The bacon was in the sauce so be aware of that. The gratin potato I thought was decent, just needed salt and ketchup but my overall meal was delicious. The service here was fine for me and I'm pretty sure they knew I'm American. I paid with my credit card and there was no option to leave tip so maybe it's already included.
