At the top of Morro da Conceição (perfect for before or after visiting an exhibition at MAR or the Museum of Tomorrow), a charming little house with a wooden veranda and plenty of greenery invites you to take a break.
Owned by partners Nicola Bara and Tobia Messa, the bistro offers home-style Italo-Brazilian food. The menu includes lasagna with sausage ragù, steamed shellfish, shrimp bobó, and oxtail with watercress.
For dessert, the recommendation is the tiramisu. To drink, they serve classic and excellent cocktails like the Macunaíma and the Negroni.
