Atelier de Massas

I love this restaurant. It is a big highlight when I come to Porto Alegre from Canada. The carbonara is exceptional.

Pleasant place to eat a rustic pasta. Simple service and very straight forward. There’s a buffet of Italian charcuterie and other interesting small plates as appetizers. I think they should serve bread before food. Every Italian should have a handcrafted bread. Great pasta dish as we eat tortellini.

It's a really vintage place, with lots of cool weird plates that look very haute cuisine and are kinda good. Their pasta is amazing, great selection of wine, craft beer, nice deserts, coffee. I'd say it's very pricey.

Simply the best pasta I have ever had. I remember going there for the first time more than a decade ago and thinking the same thing. Still the best. It is a bit on the expensive side, specially if you like to have a nice wine on the side but it's worth it, you should go at least once to know what is like to taste such amazing pasta. I should also add that the service is very nice and the atmosphere is lovely, cozy with a lot of artwork on the walls, not upscale at all. Also the muscial selection includes stuff like John Coltrane. Pretty cool.

This is Italian restaurant where fresh pasta in different sources served. You can enjoy a buffet of antipasti which consists of cheeses, Parma ham rolls with cheese with figa chutney etc. Delicious! I didn't enjoy very much the pasta we ordered, as tomato sauce was more like soup and very sour for my taste and stomach. Espresso was brilliant.

Really great pasta, I ordered the spaghetti carbonara. But with just okay service

High expectations, even higher disappointment (spoiler: I got food poisoning). I had read and heard a lot of good things about this place, both in guide books and from local friends. It was horrible. Most important, I got food poisoning from eating there. I know it’s that because it’s the only place where my wife and I didn’t eat the same thing and she was fine. I spent the night throwing up and had nausea for 3 days. Beyond that, the Antipasti were just ok, really nothing special, and some cheeses actually not good (such as the gorgonzola, super dry). Also, the service was bad. The waiter wasn’t very friendly, and not professional at all. We were not even done with the Antipasti that he was bringing our pasta already. The positives: portions were big and the pasta tasted good (but obviously something wasn’t fresh) Without the food poisoning I would have given it 3/5 because of the Antipasti and service, but in this case it clearly deserves 0/5.

One of Porto Alegre's most traditional restaurants, located downtown in a old small house not much have changed in the past 15 years, there are sitting in the floors of the house. On the first floor you have on the best antipasti buffet you will ever try. The pasta are all fresh and very well served. The wine selection it's one of the best in town

Excellent authentic Italian food. Hand crafted. Excellent appetizers where you choose what you want.

The place has a great atmosphere with the place has artworks spread all over the walls. The service could be better, but the pasta really compensates. The pasta is fresh and handmade and the sauces are jaw-droppping. When there, don't forget to try the "Talharim à Marinara". It's terrific!
