My wife had shrimp tossed in pasta, and I had a crusted filet of fish over risotto, and both were excellent. Service is prompt and cordial. Very little English spoken, but the menus have English translations. Wine & beer served. Of the two (this one and Bartholomeu), we preferred the latter -- but if you have two nights in town I would definitely suggest trying them both; can't go wrong with either one. Brazilians dine relatively late, so if you arrive at either one in the 6:00-to-7:00 range there is no need for reservations.

We then had some cheese balls as another appetizer, and then the crusted fish and squid risotto for dinner all of which was excellent. The service was top notch and we felt that it was a meal that merited a tip beyond the usual 10%. Highly creative and delicious meal that we strongly recommend. Also very cute restaurant and decor.

There are about 5-7 different dishes of the day that you can choose from. I had fish with rice (and fries of course, we are in Brazil) and spinach and it was simple but tasty. I tried my friend's meals and they were also all good. Prices are low, food is tasty, it looks a bit like a canteen but service is nice and the atmosphere too. Good choice!

The chef was very nice and presented us with the complimentary dish which I believe was the Torresmo. The drinks are amazing and that smoke meat platter was pork and onions which was super tender and juicy. The recommendations from the server to try are the "Baião-De-Dois which is composed of rice beans. Update the food is inspired from NE Brazil which has an amazing presentation. The food is made with love and has a very home feel. The medium dish serves 3-4 people with ease. A definite must try if you are in São Paolo. Eu originalmente pensei que este era um tipo de restaurante mexicano pela decoração, mas não há pratos que sugeriria que a equipe é de pessoas amigáveis, mas não fala muito inglês. O chef foi muito legal e nos apresentou o prato de cortesia que acredito ser o Torresmo. As bebidas são incríveis e aquele prato de carne defumada era carne de porco e cebola, que estava super macia e suculenta. As recomendações do servidor para experimentar são o "Baião-De-Dois, que é composto de feijão de arroz. Atualize a comida é inspirada no NE Brasil, que tem uma apresentação incrível. A comida é feita com amor e tem uma sensação muito caseira. O prato médio serve 3-4 pessoas com facilidade. Definitivamente deve tentar se você estiver em São Paolo.
