The place looks really nice, warm lighting and comfortable seats. Rodrigo took care of us the whole time, super attentive but not hovering. Salad and dessert were the standouts for me. Meat was tasty too, but the fish came out a bit salty. Still, I&#39;d come back for the vibe alone.

The lighting in there is just right &mdash; cozy but not dark. Had the burger and a pint, pretty solid. Service was friendly too. Maybe a bit loud later in the evening, but I&#39;d still come back.

Good spot to grab a beer with the guys. They had a decent rock band playing Friday night. Bathrooms are actually well set up, no crazy lines. You&#39;ll drop about R$100 a head with food and drinks.

Dropped by for a quick bite and ended up staring at the cake display for a solid five minutes. So many options, honestly hard to pick. Grabbed a slice to go&mdash;pretty solid. Service was fast, which I appreciate during lunch rush. Place gets busy but they keep things moving. Good spot if you need something sweet without the wait.

Found this place while looking for something healthy - got the veggie bowl and it was actually filling. Prices are decent too. The covered veranda is a nice spot to sit.

Been coming here for a while now. The pizza still hits the same every time &mdash; thin crust, not too heavy, toppings actually taste fresh. Bella Capri is my go-to, San Pietro when I want something different. Place gets busy on weekends but that&#39;s a good sign. Consistent quality is why I keep coming back.

Decent spot for a quick dinner. The meat was well-prepared, no complaints there. Price matched what you get, fair enough. Service was fine, nothing slow or annoying. I&#39;d come back if I&#39;m in the area and need something simple. Not a destination place, but it works.

Pizza came out crazy fast, like under 15 minutes. That basically never happens around here. Food was solid, nothing fancy, but hit the spot. Drinks were nice and cold too. Good spot if you&#39;re staying nearby and just want something quick without the whole sit-around-waiting thing. I&#39;d go back.

The homemade pasta really stands out here. My spaghetti was a bit off, but honestly still one of the better Italian spots in Rio Preto.

The weekday executive menu is honestly a steal for what you get. I went on a Tuesday and left completely full. Dishes were well executed, nothing fancy but solid. Just wish they had a bit more variety on the dessert option. Still, for the price, I can&#39;t complain.

Steak was cooked right and the Bloom onion was huge. Better than most Outbacks I&#39;ve been to, honestly. Solid if you&#39;re craving that kind of meal.

The kiwi caipirinha with Velho Barreiro really hit the spot&mdash;properly made and refreshing. Service was polite, though nothing over the top. Cozy enough spot to grab a drink.

Stopped by for a beer and ended up staying way longer than planned. The draft list is massive, and the brewing tanks right there make the whole place feel cool. I tried something local and it was solid. Service was friendly too. Just wish the snacks were a bit bigger for the price.

Went there last Saturday with the family. Place was packed but we got a table quick. Had the grilled fish and rice, pretty solid. Prices are fair for the portion. Service was okay, nothing fancy but they got the job done. Not my first time there and won&#39;t be the last.

Stopped by for lunch on a weekday. Got the Sultan dish, portion was big enough for three people. Kibbeh was the best part. Place has a family-run vibe, nothing fancy. Service was fine, no complaints. Snack bar attached if you want something quick after. Solid option if you&#39;re in the area.

The salmon tartare here is seriously good, probably the best I&#39;ve tried. Also had the flamb&eacute;ed sushi with almonds, which was pretty unique. Service felt smoother than before, like they fixed some stuff behind the scenes. Place wasn&#39;t too crowded on a weekday, so it was chill. Just wish the portions were a bit bigger for the price.

The salmon with leek risotto was pretty good, and our waiter Guilherme was attentive without hovering. Nice vibe inside, nothing over the top. Decent spot for a quiet dinner.

The food was really good, especially the presentation. Small spot but comfortable. Service was friendly and made the whole thing easy.

Lu was so attentive and polite, made the whole thing easier. Temakis were solid too. Just wish the place wasn&#39;t so cramped, hard to relax with your elbows out.

The grilled octopus was spot on. Tender, smoky, just the right amount of char. Had the picanha too, came with that farofa and vinagrete, simple but done right. Place was packed on a Tuesday, so service got a bit slow, but the food made up for it. Fair price for what you get.

The lunch boxes here are pretty generous &mdash; the parmigiana with fries could easily feed two. Wednesday feijoada is a nice touch too. Solid Middle Eastern spot for the price.

Been coming here for a while now, and the service is the reason I keep going back. Leo and Rog&eacute;rio always remember me, that personal touch goes a long way. They&#39;re on top of everything without hovering. Makes the whole meal easier, you know? Just solid, consistent service every single time.

The caipirinha really hit the spot after dinner. I asked for the parmigiana without cheese and they handled it without any fuss, which I appreciated. Service felt genuine, not rushed. Just a nice, easy meal where I could relax and not worry about a thing. Would come back for that drink alone.

The grilled octopus was spot on&mdash;smoky, tender, just enough salt. Ate it too fast to even think about anything else. Place was packed so yeah, took a minute to get the check, but honestly didn&rsquo;t care. That dish alone made the whole stop worth it. Would come back just for that plate.

Decent spot for a relaxed dinner. All-you-can-eat lets you reorder what you like, staff were friendly. House red fruit juice surprised me. Service can be a bit slow though.

Big burgers, fresh ingredients, that&#39;s what I look for. The sandwich was really tasty and the girls working were super polite. Solid spot.

The Dom Portuga cod was really good, and the portion size surprised me. Octopus rice was solid too. Orange tart for dessert hit the spot.

Came here for my son&#39;s birthday. Service was quick and the food was solid. Nothing fancy, but it worked for a group with kids. Fair price for what you get.
