OK, let me start out by saying this was not my first choice for dinner, but when another restaurant…read morewas unavailable, I called my hotel's concierge and asked for the name of a nearby place and they recommended Dom Ferreira. 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.

Never say "never"...Our first visit to Nez Bistro didn't go so well, but after 2 years, we decided…read moreto give the place another try and boy, what a difference! We absolutely loved the whole experience. The service was excellent, the food was perfect and the décor is romantic and charming. The owners are very friendly and the restaurant has some of the best background music. If I had to describe the dining experience, I'd say it was dark, sexy and seductive. I started with duck confit croquettes, which were delicious; my wife had the terrine de foie and the portion was so large that she had to take it to go (yes, she enjoyed it very much). For a main course we had gnocchi in ossobuco ragù (the gnocchi were tender and the ragù was excellent) and the duck breast, which was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Nez Bistro is a member of the Associação dos Restaurantes da Boa Lembrança ("the Association of Good Memories"). Whenever possible, I try to visit their members because they are almost always high-quality establishments. I will definitely be back here the next chance I get.
