4.5/5 stars
Came…read morehere for dinner (we made a reservation in advance). The menu had a great variety of local specialties. They started us off with bread and olive oil/balsamic vinegar - my fave was the breadstick. We ordered 2 appetizers: the antipasti of local specialties and the melted cheese. The antipasti of local specialties included cassava, avocado, surubí croquette, reviro, chipa guazu, and sopa paraguaya. This dish was so unique!! My fave was one of the corn pies (it was cheesy) and the croquette. This dish is quite heavy on the starch, so it is very filling. The melted cheese was spectacular. It was piping hot and savory, and I loved the hint of tomato taste.
For my entree, I got the tropical surubí. The fish was mostly flaky and tender, and had some nice crispy parts. A few bites were too salty, but it was overall very enjoyable. My bf got the gnocchi with the shrimp sauce. It was solid.
For dessert, I got the chocolate specialty dessert, which consisted of white chocolate mousse over a brownie. I didn't particularly enjoy it. The mousse didn't have the texture of mousse - it was too gelatin-like. The brownie also wasn't very fudgy or chocolatey. My bf got the passion fruit mousse, and he loved it. To end the evening, they gave us some limoncello.
Overall, I really enjoyed the meal because of the uniqueness of the local dishes. Service was great. Price was also reasonable for the delicious meal
