Casa Camolese

Everything here was made fresh—the starters, entrees, and dessert. The burrata ravioli melts in your mouth. You can tell the pasta is made fresh in house—has a nice bounce to it. And the desserts are actually a thing here. Recommend the moist chocolate cake, which comes out with thick chocolate gravy warm on your tongue. Recommend splitting that 4-6 ways because it’s so rich. Quick and attentive service. Friendly staff with a smile. Lively ambiance with a lot of customers chattering. Not crazy. Great for families or young couples on a first or second date.

Such a vibey and delicious spot tucked right alongside the horse races! The atmosphere is cozy yet chic, with beautiful landscaping and thoughtful decor that gives it a natural, stylish feel. Great bar, Manouche, downstairs with all sorts of eventos. Also a lounge outside—perfect for a laid-back drink or a lively evening out. Loved the flow of the space and the unique setting. A hidden gem!

The food was good, nice place. Very pleasant outdoor space and can see the jockey club. Craft beer was not available when I was here for lunch

Very nice location with delicious food and drinks. However the waiting time on sundays is very long. Also the waiters not very attentive. We asked for ice because we were with a little child that hit her head and they never actually brought it. You just need patience with the place and you’ll have an amazing experience.

Very nice place, with a fancy vibe. Food was incredible. We came for lunch on a week day without reservation and table was ready inmediately. Restaurant is next to a horse riding track so you get an amazing view while eating on the deck. Prices are above average but totally worth it. I would come back and try every meal from their menu.

Really delicious! We chose ravioli and fish from the chef - our respects. The crumble with ice cream for dessert is also worthy. The coffee may not be the best, but everything else is top!

Camolese is a hidden gem at Rio’s Jockey Club, right next to the Botanical Garden, offering a unique blend of upscale ambiance and rustic charm. With good views of the racetrack and surrounding mountains, this bar is the ideal spot for a laid-back drink in a stylish setting. The menu showcases an excellent selection of craft beers, creative cocktails, and elevated Brazilian dishes that perfectly complement the venue’s sophisticated vibe. Service is warm and attentive, making you feel at home while you enjoy the lively, relaxed atmosphere. Even though the language barrier is there it feels non existent. Camolese is perfect for anyone seeking a memorable, scenic experience in Rio.

Visited in June 2024. Brazil. Rio de Janeiro. We were in the Botanic Park and decided to check out this restaurant across the street. They have a very beautiful terrace, green and well-maintained, but unfortunately, there were only seats inside. We were also drawn in by the fact that they brew their own beer. The interior is simple but nice. Food: First of all, we tried the beer. We went with the strong ale. My husband knows a lot about beers and he really enjoyed this one. It had a rich, balanced, and full-bodied flavor with a slight bitterness on the aftertaste. We chose a sausage pizza to go with the beer, but it turned out to be a calzone, which is probably a plus. The dough was thin and crispy, with a lot of filling, tasty sausage, and cheese. The pizza was cooked perfectly! They have a professional wood-fired oven in the open kitchen. Service: The service was decent, but it was a bit slow. We had to flag down our waiter a few times. Conclusion: I recommend this restaurant, even though it’s hard to judge the entire menu based on just the pizza. However, the restaurant atmosphere, the local beer, everything gave us a positive experience.
