If I want to say a single sentence about this place, it would be about the service. Best service I experienced in Rio. Christiano was amazing. The food was really good. We tried lobster thermador, grilled fish, shrimp pasta. All was good.

Honestly this is one of the best sea food I have ever tried. I ordered the grilled fish and it was so delicious, cooked to perfection with very tasty spices. I got a creamy lemon rice on the side and it was the best side dish for sure. It is a little bit expensive but worth it. The reason I took one star off is that the restaurant offered some bread, olives, butter, and spreads. When the waiter asked me if I wanted this platter, I asked him if it was complimentary from the restaurant and he said yes. After getting the bill I saw that it was added with a price of 28R. I guess it was the language barrier and he didn’t understand me. Overall it was a nice experience.

This place was so good it deserves a 6th star ⭐ • Food was out of this world. From the homemade pasta to the fresh seafood, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. • Service was above and beyond. I'm talking exemplary. We sent our waiter an extra tip as he took such excellent care of us. • The lunch scene was a vibe and we enjoyed every second of it • The profiteroles dessert made me weak in the knees. I probably would have licked the plate clean if I was alone The whole meal made me want to pitch a tent and never leave this place. Giuseppe watch out - I'm moving in!

Great atmosphere, even for a mall restaurant. It’s like you’re transported to a Mediterranean oasis. Food was all really good - especially the squid ink pasta with scallops. The mini pots all small but packed with food and good for sharing. Service was very slow and took a long time in between courses.

Wasn’t sure what to think of this place since it was in a mall bu man was I pleasantly surprised. The fresh seafood and seasoned food was amazing. Service was great. I was so pleased by how seasoned everything was even the mashed potatoes. The broth in the mussels was so good I wish I asked for a straw. Or maybe more bread. Being one who always needs a little salt and pepper at any place… I didn’t even want it. The potatoes were creamy and buttery. And the salmon crisp skin and moist. A must try.

High end seafood restaurant. Worth the money. Excellent fresh seafood. Hostess was super friendly and helpful. Highly recommended by my concierge at Grand Hyatt Hotel. I can see why. Probably the best seafood restaurant in the Barra area. Located inside the luxury village mall. Beautiful atmosphere, seafood is expensive here but you pay for quality and freshness. Had the small plate crab, small plate scallops, crab claw appetizer, octopus(super fresh and tender it’s perfection), and giant prawns I mean giant. If you are craving fresh high quality seafood, this is absolutely the place. Amazing service, very attentive.

The ambiance is striking. It looks like you are in a fancy mediterranean beach (when in fact the restaurant is inside a shopping mall). The food is very good overall. The tuna tartar was not that special, but tasty. The haddock, with champagne sauce, is a flavor experience, it is SO GOOD. The dessert I chose was the cocada mole petit gateau, a fun Brazilian twist in a french classic. Would definitely go back.

We had a wonderful time! The fish of the day was fantastic, and the service from Nildo was truly outstanding. He was friendly and knowledgeable.
