I won't tell you that this is the best Italian restaurant that I've eaten in, but they surpassed my expectations. The food was very good and the portions were very large. Some dishes were plated very attractively (others, well, they were a little repetitious). Their red sauce was tasty. Their gnocchi were great; their shrimp appetizer was also very good. The wine menu is a bit limited, but there are enough decent choices at very reasonable prices that you an overlook the short-comings. The waiters are attentive and helpful. The ambience is a little lacking in charm. I'd say this is a really safe bet if you want some Italian food while in Recife, and I would definitely consider dining here again.

From the outside, it looks cozy and inviting. Immediately we were seated and a lady who spoke English helped us order our drinks. She was there just for English speakers! (She's also very cute and accommodating!) The buffet charges by 100 grams for roughly 10 reai. Which we configured would be 4.50 or so for an ounce. They had a salad bar, tons of meat dishes, pasta dishes and delicious looking desserts! The band was setting up as we were seated. They were playing traditional Brazilian music with an accordion, a big drum and an oversized triangle! What a great place for a family or friend dinner!
