This is a Napolitan-style pizza place in Buzios!…read more Small and humble if compared to the others huge, fancy Italian restaurants in Buzios. But this pizza.... it is outstanding! Amazing crust, light, made with Italian flour (the owner, who also serves the clients, is Italian and loves Pizza). The tomato sauce is awesome, great taste! The Margherita comes with small pieces o tomato, instead of huge slices of it (as it is common in other places). Don't be fooled by the appearances! This small humble place beats most of the fancy Restaurants in Buzios! If by Buzios, you should give it a shoot! A Pizza-place so good that would make success in bigger cities as well. The only downside is that all the ingredients are superb, but the cheese is a simple, regular mozzarella, and that kind of unbalances the Pizza. To be fair, they do have a Margherita that comes with Buffalo mozzarella, that one should give it a try (we had a regular Margherita, with the regular Mozzarella). UPDATE: The owner contacted me to said that he was sad that I though the Mozzarella was a simple one, as he said that he uses a very good one, that you cannot find at the regular market. Oh, well... apparently my taste sucks in recognizing good cheese!! In any case, I feel obliged to update this review with this extra info!

They have an amazing blend that might be one of the best I've ever had in my life. I love that this place is multifaceted. They are a pizzeria, a coffee shop, and a bakery all in one. There is a brick oven pizza in the store where you can watch your pizza get made which is fun. They have a lot of food options and take-home items that are delicious like cake in a cup, sourdough chips, meringues, cookies, etc. Overall a great place to hang out and eat.

I wasn't sure with the idea of honey and tomato on a pizza but I am glad I tried it. It was a really good combination. The crust is nice and toasty. The Milanese was well cooked as well. The Jaguar passion fruit cocktails were really good. Our server warmed up to us after a while language barriers aside. We tried to speak Portuguese as much as we could. The seating and ambiance are clean and inviting. I am definitely planning to return.

This is my favorite sit-down spot for pizza in Brazil (I say Brazil because they have locations…read morespread throughout major cities). As a local chain, there aren't an overwhelming number of outposts, and the pizza is good enough that I've seen lines at both this Rio and São Paulo location. The large restaurant can hold a number of people and it's nicer than a typical grab and go pizza place. You'll find locals making the queue to celebrate their birthdays and other special occasions. If there is a line and you don't feel like waiting, I recommend grabbing a table in the bar area and ordering your pizza to-go. While we waited, our trio enjoyed a few beers and by the time the pizza was ready, so was our table. We simply asked them to skip the to-go request and serve us at the table. The menu is chock full of different pizza options and you can't go wrong.

The service, the food, the location, the ambiance, the vibe, the atmosphere, the people there are first class. They seem to have a really good logistic and organization, because when I was there it was almost full. But the service manages everything and nobody waits too long. Good administration! I loved it. The pizzas are the highlight and the desserts are like heaven too! The restaurant per se is big, elegant, clean, simply and beautifully decorated and seem to be "in" in the moment. It is worth a visit/ or many visits. ------------------------------------- Das ist eine der besten Pizzas, die ich je gegessen habe. In Sao Paulo sind sie auch ganz berühmt und man sagt, die Pizzas von Braz, sind besser als in Italien. Ich kann das bestätigen. In diesem Restaurant sind die Atmosphäre, die Stimmung, das Essen, die Lage, die Bedienung herrlich. Sie haben eine gute Logistik, weil auch wenn es voll ist, wartet man nicht lange und alle werden gleich schnell bedient. Sehr gut!! Das Restaurant ist ziemlich "in" im Moment, habe ich gehört. Es ist groß, elegant, einfach und schön eingerichtet und ist auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert /oder mehrere, when ich die Chance habe, nach Rio zu gehen.

YUM YUM YUM. We found this spot on Yelp after our hike and we couldn't be happier. The food and…read moreservice is amazing. We ordered their bruschetta with brie and it was so creamy and delicious. When it came to the pizza we did half Portuguese and half pepperoni. It was one of the best pizzas I have ever had by far. We ordered a large and split it with two people and almost couldn't finish them. For dessert we ordered the banana jamma and it was perfect. They cook the banana on some type of wood and then you just scoop the inside out with some ice cream they put on top and it is the perfect bite. They also sprinkle cacao over it to give it a bit of crunch and bitterness. I would highly recommend this place.

This was a delightful and very upscale French dining experience at the Sheraton hotel in Rio…read more Reservations are a must and can be made on the hotel's website or through the concierge. They have only two seating times - 7:30pm or 8:30pm. The interior is gorgeous and extremely upscale, and since it's on the top floor the view is great. Our server was extremely kind and helpful and spoke enough English to manage the dining experience. He made us several excellent Caipirinhas - a classic Brazilian cocktail. The bread (not complimentary but we had to try it) was delicious and extremely fresh and came with several accompaniments. We also tried the grilled shrimp starter which was delicious and beautifully presented. A complimentary oyster amuse bouche was also presented. I do not generally like oysters, but this was really good. Extremely fresh with no seafood or briny taste at all. A pineapple palate cleanser was also offered during the meal and was wonderful and refreshing. I chose the beef and lamb Bourguignon entree. This was beautifully presented with some pieces of sliced lamb and a "mini beef Bourguignon" in a small pot which was absolutely delicious. Beef Bourguignon is complicated to make, but they did an amazing job here. We had the dessert sampler as well. Three miniature versions of their most popular desserts. My favorite was the apple tatin which featured fresh apples and a wonderful flakey shell. Perfect! Best of all, I was stunned at how inexpensive this meal was compared with what a comparable quality French restaurant such as Joel Robuchon might cost in the US. Truly an incredible value, and I highly recommend it!

I never eat lamb or oysters and this was my first oyster and it was actually quite nice.
