We ordered four of their massive pasta plates - meat ravioli with tomato sauce, a stuffed cheese pasta that I didn't recognize with tomato sauce, penne parisienne, and tagliatelle bolognese. Bread basket was nothing to write home about but came with two interesting spreads - both anchovy/sardine based. Tasty if you're into that but otherwise stick to the butter. Ordering was easy and our pasta was served quickly. Everything was family style but our waiter portioned the pastas onto each plate (which spared us splattering sauces all over the table and ourselves; much appreciated!). The ravioli were a little bit of a miss - too thick with too little filling but still tasty. Bolognese was meaty and well balanced while the tagliatelle was al dente. Penne parisienne was not to my tastes (very creamy/cheesy with brasilian sliced ham and peas) but it was loved by all my brasilian friends. My surprise favorite was the stuffed envelope type pasta that I couldn't get the name of. I'm not sure where it ranks on the Italian food scale for Brasil/São Paulo (tasted like 3 stars to me) but the service was efficient and accommodating of our large group. They split the bill 14 ways without a problem and we all had our fill for about 35R$ including tax/gratuity. Atmosphere was classy but the clientele was mixed - families with young children, young couples, and older folks on a date night.

It's evident from the moment you walk through the door that whoever is behind the increasingly popular Brazilian chain is from Italy. The atmosphere is quaint and comfortable, and the open front allows for some great interaction with the staff behind the scenes. Service is quick and friendly even if you don't speak Portuguese. Star Granted. Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost? Oh my good lord. I'd been told that Brazil was expensive, but I wasn't expecting this. Yes, it was during the World Cup, which I imagine has warranted something resembling of a 40% premium, but $16.50 for this? http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=1yw18_mF6v44yZm7Q7ICcw&userid=OKX-V5j_qfuOebeHeWGrHg Yikes. No. Too much. No Star Granted. Stars 3 and 4: How was the food? It really was very good irrespective of the price. Risotto is often tough to really get right, but this was the perfect blend of perfectly cooked grain with generous chunks of beef and thin slices of mushroom that were huge. It all came together in a blend that needed just a bit of parmesan, but delivered. Dual Stars Granted. Star 5: Would you eat here every day if you could? If I could afford it? Yes, but I can't, and it's not because it's a fancy place rather than one that is simply overpriced. No Star Granted.

But coming here for the bday dinner before drunkenly Karaoke'ing in Liberdade was one (or two) of the best decisions during this trip. The language barrier was not too overbearing, but we had been in the country a few days at this point, so we knew a few key words to get us going, also the guy that greeted us at the front (whom was very well dressed might I add) was super nice and helpful in ensuring we had everything we needed for an amazing dining experience. The Caprisi salad: Delicious. The Bruschetta: Awesome. The Pizzas: Phenominal! I had no idea Brazil was so big on pizza, they're everywhere! Something this pizza-lover was very happy to find out. Aside from the exquisitely delectable food offerings, the decor was one of the coolest restaurants I've ever been in. There is this exotic, outdoorsy - garden feel to it (it IS an indoor joint tho) truly a beautiful space. I dream of returning to Brazil one day and hopefully this amazing restaurant will still be around to help me relive that beautiful, culinary smorgasbord we experienced the first time around.

Ugh...Where do I even begin?…read more.. To preface this review, we had arrived in Sao Paulo at the hotel across the street at night. It was raining, we were hungry, and we were desperate for some good food. We looked at this place but the prices were quite steep so we checked out all the place around the area, all of which were closed. It was only 23:00!!! We didn't know businesses closde that early in the city. Anyways...we came back to this joint to sit down and eat. We got the menu and they put down some stale bread with some roasted veggies and sun-dried tomato dip. Of course, we ate it...being hungry and all. We ordered the chicken parmigiana and some basic meat sauce pasta. The waiter brought out the food...and they were MASSIVE. This makes sense that the food was pricey. This place is FAMILY style...which the waiter failed to tell us. We order two big plates that could have fed 4. The food wasn't even good! It was super simple (tomato sauce out of a can and topped with cheese) and didn't taste anything like authentic Italian. Was so sad...so much food gone to waste. Then we get the bill and they charged us for the for the bread/veggies starter. This was before we knew about how shady restaurants in Sao Paulo just place starters on your table without asking and expect you to pay if you eat it. Warning: DENY starters if you don't want them in Sao Paulo or you will pay for them...culture shock indeed. Anyways...we ended spending US$80-90 for 2 simple italian dishes...AFTER we argued about not wanting to pay for food they placed on our table. The man was furious and rude after that fact and threw the check down on our table...but we don't care. I am not going to pay for things I do not ask for. Thankfully...restaurants in Sao Paulo aren't all like this... Português : Ugh ... Onde posso começar? ... Para prefaciar este comentário , que havia chegado em São Paulo no hotel do outro lado da rua à noite . Estava chovendo , estávamos com fome , e nós estávamos desesperados por uma boa comida . Olhamos para este lugar, mas os preços foram bastante íngreme, de modo que verificamos todo o lugar ao redor da área , os quais estavam fechados . Foi apenas 23:00 ! Nós não sabíamos empresas closde que no início da cidade. Anyways ... voltamos a este conjunto para sentar e comer . Temos o menu e colocar um pouco de pão velho com alguns legumes assados ​​e secas ao sol tomate mergulho . Claro, nós comemos ... estar com fome e tudo mais. Pedimos o frango com parmesão e algumas massas básicas molho de carne. O garçom trouxe a comida ... e eles eram enormes . Isso faz sentido que a comida era caro. Este lugar é o estilo da família ... que o garçom não conseguiu nos dizer. Pedimos duas grandes placas que poderia ter alimentados 4 . A comida não era mesmo bom! Foi super simples ( molho de tomate de uma lata e coberto com queijo ) e não gosto nada como autêntico italiano. Foi tão triste ... tanta comida ido para o lixo . Então nós começamos o projeto de lei e cobrada para o para o motor de arranque de pão / legumes . Isso foi antes de nós sabia como restaurantes obscuros em São Paulo , basta colocar os iniciantes em sua mesa sem pedir e esperar que você pague se você comê-lo. Aviso : NEGAR começar , se você não quer que eles em São Paulo ou que você vai pagar para eles ... o choque cultural de fato. Anyways ... acabamos gastando EUA US $ 80-90 por 2 pratos italianos simples ... depois discutimos sobre não querer pagar pela comida que colocou na nossa mesa. O homem ficou furioso e rude após esse fato e jogou o cheque para baixo em nossa mesa ... mas nós não nos importamos . Eu não vou pagar por coisas que eu não pedir. Felizmente ... restaurantes em São Paulo não são todos assim ...

This is another traditional italian trattoria in Jardins neighborhood…read more Be aware that italian trattorias are famous for the size of the dishes. It usually feeds 2 to 3 people. The price for one dish may be expensive, but when you divide it by the size of your party, it's ok. Although, it's still pricey in comparison to the other options at this same street. The place gets really crowded during sunday's lunch, but normal during weekdays. The food is good. They serve some breads (the restaurants in Sao Paulo may serve breads, and may charge you for them, so take a good look at the menu before accepting it!) Thumbs up for the salad. It's huge. It can feed 4 to 6 people. The agnolotti is the best option in my humble opinion. Didn't like the parmegiana. If you're alone, try to order a half sized dish.
