    I stopped be here tonight to grab dinner since I'm staying at the hotel right next door. I looked…read moreat their menu on their website first so I had an idea what I wanted. 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.

    The food was incredible. No one spoke English other than the manager, so he came and took care of…read moreus personally. The outside isn't much to look at but the inside is beautiful and rustic. This was the best food experience we have had on our South America trip.

    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.

    I have heard the pizzas from this restaurant are better than the Italian pizzas. I had to taste it…read moreand had to confirm. 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.

    Wow. This is a true gem…read more Quinta is WAAAAYYYYYY off the beaten path in Rio, you really have to make a whole trip just for the restaurant, but they know they're a destination, and they make it feel like it's a resort, so you can really just spend the whole afternoon and evening here if you want. First of all, the restaurant is kind of off into the countryside outside of Barra/Recreio, so you feel like you're totally leaving the city. It is on a property that is completely walled in, with a gate, and only a very small sign saying what it is. When you get to the gate, there is a porteiro who radios in your name (I'm pretty sure reservations are required), and then opens the gate for you. After parking, you walk along a beautiful garden path that leads past a lovely outdoor sitting area and on up the the restaurant. The restaurant occupies two different buildings, with a patio area and a pond between them (yes there are turtles in the pond!!). When you get to your table, it doesn't just have a "reserved" card on it, it actually has a very elegant name card with the name of the person who made the reservation printed in beautiful font (it looks like hand made calligraphy, but further inspection proved it to be printed). I had their feijoada, but the menu was full of great Brazilian dishes, with a focus on seafood. The drinks were great, and the service was exceptional. If you're looking for a very special meal, definitely come here. We went on a Sunday, and "aproveitamos" the fact that we were all the way out there to go to Grumari, which is a very out of the way and wonderful remote beach, for the rest of the afternoon.
