Grado Restaurante

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

Staf not look on table cleanness, my friend whom seat beside me clean table. And charge plates and glasses no recommend this place , that girls whom pretending meneger she is silly girl whom just seat and look like idiots

Another local gem. Italian theme with my favorite dish being the tartar de carne (beef tartare) which was really flavorful. The taglioloni gratinado was good but be warned it's a very heavy dish with so much pasta and cheese! Delicious and recommended!

This place is great. Everything I ate here was a very good version of that dish. The service was good. The ambience was pleasant. I can't wait to go back.
