If you try to find Pitico on an extremely crowded night on the street they're on in Pinheiros, you could miss it like I did. Now, I did use Google Maps and when it told me I had arrived, I didn't see a sign or what looked to be an entrance to a bar front, so I kept walking thinking I would come across a giant illuminated sign. I went back and realized I was standing right in front of the entrance the entire time, lol.. noticed the tiny tiny tiny lit up sign high up (not eye-level from the street) and the staff / security maybe standing / sitting by the front of a black gate.
You'll walk down a little hallway into the main area of the bar where there tons of picnic tables, beach chairs gathered around little side tables, one place to order drinks and food where you see the menu on the wall. The kitchen is on the opposite end where your food will be delivered to wherever you choose to sit as you'll receive a number. The bar in the back contains cocktail drinks.
The noise level isn't extremely loud, but could be depending on where you are sitting. If you're trying to talk to someone to get to know them it might be difficult unless you are sitting fairly close to one another.
Atmosphere is really chill. I came here at night and I liked this spot. It was clean, open (outdoors open air), and the people were chill. You can bring your dog. Large groups of friends will do well here. I had cerveja and some food that was really tasty! I would order the same thing again. It was the perfect snack. Unfortunately, I can't remember the name of it off the top of my head anymore. It came on two skewers and I think had pita or some type of bread on the side to use with a spread brought out on a wooden board.
I don't remember what time it was, but I had thought they were closing kind of early for being a bar. No worries though as there are plenty of other bars to check out in the area if you don't feel like going home right away.
