Received by life music playing directly at the entrance but so softly that it does not disturb we enter a room which is nicely decorated - somehow oldfashioned - with music instruments and pictures from Italy. You feel immediately being welcome and sit down at one of the smaller or bigger tables. The service is fast and helpful - though... More

Very infrequently you find a combination of good food, good ambience and good service in Brazil. However, here at La Cucina di Tulio Santini, it all converges into a divine enogastronomic experience. This small restaurant is an evidence of a good business vision. Come check it out. Congratulations, Sr. Tulio, current chef, Juliano, Sandra. You guys rock!

I just texted my husband that this was quite possibly the best meal ever! Casual and comfortable atmosphere with an enormous selection of pasta with a choice of a dozen sauces along with various fish and meat dishes. A broad selection of wines by the bottle, glass, and half bottle primarily from Argentina, Chile, Spain, and Italy. While I was... More

The restaurant was recommended as the best in the city, and after the previous few days of very average and expensive offerings, it was surprisingly good. The food was well cooked and presented the wine list extensive ( and expensive) and the service excellent. Although styled as an Italian restaurant it was more Brazilian than original, but the Argentine steaks... More

My favorite restaurant in town, had never had a meal that was disappointing. "La Gondola" e "polenta" are amazing! the "polpetone" is also really good! Absolutely hands down the best restaurant in town!

they have a special one that is called "Gondola" with different dressing. Fantastic. And the mood of the restaurant is nice, but the music a little loud.

Everybody loves Tullio and going there is a guarantee for a good lunch or dining experience. Menu does not change a lot but given the broad choice that is no problem at all. Service is good to excellent and the food has an own signature while this restaurant does not mix up Brazilian, Italian, French and other cuisine. Go there... More
