Don't forget that good pizza tastes even better when you pair it with draft beer!   The beer at Pizzaria Guanabara is cool and refreshing; take a moment to sit and watch people, talk to the waiters, and enjoy the unique vibe of this place :-)

Ahhh La Figa! It's a little Italian spot in Copa Cabana. Actually had been here with a couple of my…read morefriends from Italy. The ownes and the service is VERY NICE. However, the pizza is nothing special, unfortunately. I expected REAL Italian pizza (like in Italy). Not so much...meh. And I've went to this spot twice...first time I had chicken pizza last year...not impressed at all. The second time, I thought maybe I tried the wrong kind. Yet, no avail. The Magarheta pizza was BETTER, but barely anything to yelp about! Pun intended. Lastly, to their defense they are the best pizza in Copa...Vespa pizza spot is a NO GO fore sure! Side Bar: The cook was actually reaching over my head to get a pizza for someone outside...? How rude!

We ordered a lot of different pizzas for our group of 16. They were all yummy. The one that especially stood out was the meat one. I'm not sure of the name since I couldn't read the menu, but in my photo attached it's the left half of the pizza!

It was my first time going to their Copacabana location and I must say, I wasnt so impressed. Maybe…read morei am biased already by the other locations. They have the similar seating arrangements - big round table for groups with red chairs, while the other tables and chairs are wooden brown. The interior, i had very very dim lighting, unless you were seating near the bar seating area near the pizza oven. So, possibly could work for a dinner date or something more romantic, not ideal for taking photos of the food without flash :) Menu offered is the same as in the other locations, but pizza is something that will depend on the person making it. And, for some reason i felt that the dough was different here (compared to the Ipanema location) and they didnt have as much cheese on the pizza (which is what i love). So, if you are in the Copacabana area, sure check it out. But, I would prefer to go over to the Ipanema location.

It's been almost a year since I've been back to this place and I remember it being great. Two were…read moregreat and two others were a little disappointing. We came back to catch part of the Carnaval Bloco that went down this street. So it was a perfect starting point and a good view of the festivities from the second floor balcony. The pizzas are medium size and are cut into four slices (although technically you can easily cut them in 6 or 8 slices which would make them more manageable). They also allow you to do half and half, so two pizza flavors on one pizza pie. It's enough to feed 2 people, that said, it's a little pricey. But the quality is really good and worth the price for two of them which we enjoyed. My favorite was the most expensive one, Flamenca, with Spanish chorizo on it and costs R$94! I also tried the artichoke pizza which was also quite tasty and was maybe R$10 cheaper. We also tried the namesake pizza, Stravaganze, which we thought must be perfected but were quite disappointed. It has gorgonzola, pear, walnuts and garlic cloves, but made so hastily that they were undercooked. No one wants to bite into a raw garlic clove! The other one, the Maratea, with green onions and goat cheese was also were severely undercooked, leaving the veggies raw. They did serve us quickly so maybe the other two were popular enough to be pre-cooked and reheated and the less popular two were hastily made to come out at the same time? You can see the wood fire ovens and the chefs in the back making the pizzas so they are made right there on the spot. The best view to watch them is from upstairs. So it's a split. I would only come back for those two pizzas, or ones that don't have too many vegetables on them. Service was decent. They have only one unisex bathroom. The setting is quite elegant and the upstairs has a skylight ceiling that makes you feel like you're under the trees and stars.

So I opted for delivery and wasn't disappointed. The website has options for Portuguese, English, and Spanish and it's quick and easy to sign up and place your order. They have a large variety of pizzas to choose from, I went with the pepperoni, which came with onions as well. Overall it was pretty good, but the thing that I really liked was that there were several options on the style of the pizza, and it came with a stuffed crust (I picked the 4 cheese option), which was great because I don't really like the crust all that much. The menu is pretty big, they've got everything from pizza to dessert pizzas to calzones. And wine. You can get wine delivered with your food and that's always a plus in my book. I wonder if you can get them to just deliver wine...

Great open kitchen. The filet mignon and stuffed potatoes were enjoyable. The shrimp with corn…read morerisotto was also tasty. The seating arrangement is less than ideal as I was elbowed a few times during dinner. I have never had calamari with pesto, but it too was delicious. The textures were interesting. We did not enjoy the spicy ceviche. There was something off about the dish. Don't miss out on their Brigadeiro.

Never really considered going here until we were partying at the arena bloco and needed a place to…read moreeat. We decided to beat the crowds and eat a little earlier (noon). They had strict control over the gate and only allowed people who were ordering food to come in. They were also really restrictive of the bathroom (one must have a table), which for ladies was through the kitchen into the inside fancier air conditioned dining area. We easily got a table for four and ordered two pizzas: Córdoba in medium (6 slices) and pepperoni in small (4 fat slices). The first one was actually pretty decent with onion, ham and tons of mozzarella but I did find a hair in it, which was a little gross. The pepperoni was great but edible. This place is good for drinking; so like a night out or a carnaval bloco is perfect. The greasy food eases the processing of the alcohol. Alcohol was chopp of Stella and very limited other beverages (refridgerantes). They had some hard alcohol but wasn't listed on the menu, so you'll just have to ask. The set up for the blocos was perfect. They had gates to keep all the drunk mess out and the tables were perfect people watching and admiring all the terrific costumes for carnaval.
