I've eaten here several times and I have never been disappointed. All of the pastas here are homemade and they're all great. The sauces are varied and not just typical southern Italian red sauce. The service is also very good & the décor is also very tasteful. They also have a decent wine list with wines at reasonable prices. If you're here for dinner, they make pizzas in a brick oven (unfortunately, you can only get pizzas at dinnertime--not at lunch). At lunch, they also have a buffet and a lunch menu (I prefer to order from the regular menu); they also have valet parking. Oh yeah, the items on the regular menu serve 2, but even with help, two of us have never been able to finish the main course (which is just fine, cuz you get to have the doggy bag later).

This is my favorite restaurant in Joao Pessoa. On many nights there is live piano or accordian…read moremusic and sometimes some of the customers join in singing. The food is consistently good, especially the risotto's and the pasta, though I haven't had anything bad here. On Monday nights they have a pizza festival which is an all-you-can-eat deal where instead of going to a bar area and picking slices, the waiters walk around with pizzas fresh out of the oven and offer you a slice. I had been working at the Fiat Goiana plant which is an hour out of town, so often we wouldn't get back to Joao Pessoa until 9 or 10pm. Luckily they stay open 'till midnight, and even arriving at 10:00, there were plenty of other patrons.

They offer a Brazilian "rodizio" (where waiters come to each table with spits of different kinds if barbecued meat), with excellent cuts of beef, pork, lamb and the occasional wild boar. They also offer a large buffet and a sushi buffet as well as a nice dessert menu. A neat touch is the bartender's table service of mixed drinks, like caipirinhas, which is fun.

I ate here twice with my wife; the first time the food was an absolute disaster--her lamb was overcooked and my duck was raw. I offered to switch plates with her and the first thing I tried was the purée, which was ice-cold. I put my fork in another part, and out came a hair. I was done eating at that point. The service that day was very good, and the manager suggested that it was a one-off, and asked if I would come back another time and try them again. I did, to my regret. The second time, the service was absolutely appalling. I sat 35 minutes waiting for a server in between courses. I had to ask for the check 3 times so I could leave. The food, while improved from the first time (no hairs), was disappointing. My lamb, this time, was raw in the center; my wife's fish was uncooked in the center. The plating is also rather childish. Needless to say, I won't be eating here a third time.
