Grado Restaurante

We went to celebrate a friend’s birthday with 4 people, very bad service, salty food, disgusting side dishes full of cream, extremely overpriced for what they offer, R$1.800,00 not even a complimentary desert to the birthday person, we had to order an extra ice cream to ask for a cheap candle in order to sing happy birthday. A rip off!!!

Superb Italian food ! So happy to have been able to eat here. The kitchen does excellent work and the entire staff is attentive and caring. The chef here puts out some amazing dishes - definitely try to eggplant in red sauce as a starter - my mind was blown at how good it was. We don’t speak much Portuguese but that was not an issue as they provided waitstaff to us that spoke English. Extensive wine list and prices were quite reasonable at going exchange rates (5.5rs : 1usd). Believe they only do a tasting menu which was 178rs per person and includes a starter, main course and dessert.

Grado, nestled right on the edge of Rio de Janeiro's botanical gardens, offers an open kitchen, an old house setting, and the warmth and welcome of Chef Nello Garaventa and manager Lara Atamian. This is a prefix for $198R. It includes bread, appetizer, entree and dessert. Definitely go hungry. The menu, predominantly in Portuguese, doesn't pose a language barrier thanks to the fantastic English-speaking staff. The flaky, lemony fish of the day and irresistible bread make for a memorable dining experience. The fish was like butter. Don't miss the exquisite ceviche appetizer. The wood-fired oven adds charm. The restaurant's quaint interior, adorned with quirky decorations and curated bookshelves, creates a cozy atmosphere.

One of my favorite restaurants in Rio. The vibe is incredible for a date or cozy encounter. Food and service were top notch.

I very rarely leave 5 stars reviews, but this one deserves it. The food was superb, the service awesome, the ambiance was great. A little price, but fair when considering the quality

Possibly the best Italian restaurant in Rio de Janeiro. Beautiful, quiet venue. You are entering historical house to appreciate flavors rarely experienced outside if the old continent. Service is good, the wine list more than decent for Brazil.

Great place, great Italian food. The food portion is perfect. Affordable (quality) compare to another rodizzio or buffet fee Italian restaurants. The place is cozy and remarkable

Could not find fault. Staff friendly , atmosphere lovely food was exceptional. Angus steak was stunning.
