Da Brambini — Restaurant in Região Geográfica Imediata do Rio de Janeiro

Where to start!? Already when I walked in in n should have straight walked out again: I was met with a condescending arrogance like I have not experienced in a long time. The waiter walked by like a peacock not even muttering a greeting. When he came back with the menu it was given without even a word. Totally chauvinistic! I ordered spaghetti putanesca—-wow!!! How can anything draining in salt like that be served!?!? plus the pasta was swimming in the sauce. Also, every other guest was served a basket with bread - I wasn t. All other guests were offering to chose from a try of appetizers, I was not.I would have been willing to spend good money that evening and probably would have come back with some of my local friends this week This Spaghetti dish was impossible to eat. I was sitting there done eating , put my napkin back on the table-- and I was ignored for at least 15 min until I forced to have a waiter look at me and bring me the check, when he took away my ¾ full plate he didn't ask anything. . Isn;t it normal for a waiter to ask how it was? I guess they knew what they...

Could not agree more with the last review--easily the most miserable staff I've ever encountered. Manager is unpleasant and lacks any sense of welcoming you in and making you feel like they want to be there. We waited for 5 minutes before he even gave us a menu. Had to ask twice before he actually brought it.

Waiter was equally cool--was almost bothered to take our order.

We had raviolis--one meat, one cheese. Average at best. Used to be terrific. Maybe the sour staff carried over to the food. NOT ONCE did anyone ask how was our meal or if we wanted dessert. We got the check and left ASAP.

And here's the great part--instead of the normal 10% Brasil tip, theirs is 12%. So lucky us and you! Not only did you get rotten service, you get to tip more too.

Don't go. It's a completely unpleasant experience and no food is worth that--and...

Upon arrival we were quickly seated and offered an English menu. We ordered two beers and they were cold. I’m glad we ordered the bread basket with a variety of breads and some pate, butter, and tomato toppings, which were good. The entrees we ordered tasted like a can of pasta from a grocery store, runny, extremely sweet and no flavor! The price of the meal and the fact they gave themselves an above average tip (12%) left us feeling ripped off! We paid the bill and left, not making a fuss, because we would have paid the same amount for two cheap McDonald hamburgers back home! Go elsewhere for a good meal! Neither of us finished our dishes! Best meal we had was the fried fish at Finn’s on the beach for a quarter of the price! Don’t...
