I recently watched Francis Ford Coppola's classic movie "The Godfather" over again. If the story…read morefrom that movie had taken place in Rio, Coppola might have chosen Cantina Donanna in Copacabana as the place to assassinate the corrupt police captain Mark McCluskey. Thoughts of The Godfather instantly came into my head when I first saw this small family run restaurant. The look of it is just right, the way you'd expect an old-time authentic Italian restaurant to look. Handmade pasta is the bottom line for this place. If you choose the proper sauce to pair with it, you will be fine. I had spaghetti with ruccola and shrimps. They cooked the salad in the shrimp sauce; I had never seen it done that way before. My friend had a sauce made from catupiri, mushrooms nuts, and shrimps. It was totally awful; there was a lake of it, and it both completely drowned and overpowered the pasta.. If you dine here, stick to the Italian-style sauces and you'll be a happy camper. The quality of the pasta was good; it was al dente and well made, however it doesn't taste or look different from industrial pasta at all. The food not withstanding, what unquestionably brought my rating of this restaurant down to three stars was the service. The waiters were negligent. When asked for fresh ground pepper they simply put the pepper mill on the table. Menus were not brought until we had been sitting for 15 minutes, and it took three requests before we could get our check at the end of the meal.

Brazil you have done redeemed yourself! Tonight the wife and I went to da Carmine for dinner to…read morecelebrate our two years together. I don't know why we decided on this place, but I'm glad we did. Brazil is not known for its pizza that is for certain, but da Carmine flipped my view around on pizza in this country. We ordered one pizza, each half had its own toppings; one was ham and the other gorgonzola and veggies. The pizza was delicious. The crust was crisp, tasty, and light; the ingredients were fresh. They actually know how to use their brick oven and it showed. The price is a little steep but it was well worth it. The only reason I am deducting a star is because they had a surcharge for a three piece band they had roaming around the restaurant. I didn't ask for the music, therefore I shouldn't have to pay for it. I recommend da Carmine for the pizza. I will have to return for the pasta and update this post.
