The menu&rsquo;s got a bit of everything, from your standard breakfast to heavier plates. I grabbed the bolo de rolo and some cookies to finish, those were solid. Place gets busy around noon, took a while to get the check, but nothing crazy. Fine for a casual stop if you&rsquo;re in the area.

Naine knew exactly what to suggest &mdash; I ended up trying flavors I normally would&#39;ve skipped and they were really good. Staff actually took the time to explain things instead of just rushing through the order. Place itself is fine, nothing fancy, but the service made up for it. Would come back just for that.

Service at Pina was solid - friendly and quick. Got the artisanal beef burger with caramelized onions, toppings were balanced, didn&#39;t overpower the meat. Good spot if you&#39;re in the area.

Stopped by for lunch on a weekday. Got the oxtail stew &mdash; rich flavor, meat fell off the bone. Service was quick and straightforward, no fuss. Price matched the portion size, fair enough. Place was a bit noisy but that&#39;s expected. Solid option if you&#39;re in the area and want something authentic without the tourist markup.

The steak was good, no complaints. But the bill came out higher than I expected for what you get. Fine for a one-time visit.

The grilled meats were hit or miss, but the beans and salad bar were fresh. Price per kilo feels a bit high.

The food here is always tasty, but it keeps arriving cold. That&rsquo;s a bit of a letdown, especially since the bill isn&rsquo;t cheap. I&rsquo;d still come back, just wish they&rsquo;d get the timing right. The seats are comfy though, so I wasn&rsquo;t too bothered waiting around.

The beef parmigiana was a solid plate, lots of pasta and the meat was tender. Only thing, the AC was freezing, definitely bring a jacket. Service was fast though, we got there early.

The live music really set the mood here&mdash;like, the whole place felt alive because of it. Food was okay, nothing that blew me away, but the vibe made up for it. Probably not somewhere I&#39;d rush back to unless another band&#39;s playing. Still, nice spot to hang out for a bit. 🎵

The staff remembered us from last time and that really stood out. We had the same table by the window. Kids still love that little play corner.

The vegan pizza really stood out&mdash;cashew cheese was creamy and the veggies tasted fresh. Wish there were more healthy sides on the menu, but the pizza itself was solid.

Came for the wine list and honestly, it&#39;s huge. So many labels and they do wine by the glass, which I love for trying stuff I don&#39;t know. Got a main course and the flavor was solid, but the portion felt kinda small for what you pay. Maybe stick to the wine and a starter next time.

We went for the rodizio, R$59.90 per person. Picanha was pretty good, came out nice and juicy. Our server Kleber was decent too, kept the meat coming without us asking. Place gets a bit busy but that&rsquo;s fine. Good enough for a casual dinner.

The grilled fish was spot on. Flaky, juicy, simple seasoning. Ate at the counter, no fuss. Price was fair for being right by Marco Zero. Place gets busy but food came quick. That&#39;s all I needed.
