Mamma Bette — Restaurant in Região Geográfica Imediata do Rio de Janeiro

Came in on valentines night with six people, luckily, we found a table that seats us.

The food came out pretty quickly, considering how busy they were.

Egg toast

Cheese and bread. Nothing special. I feel like the eggs should have came runny. However, mine was fully cooked. Would absolutely not order that again not worth the 30BRL

Cheese Pasteill The pastry that’s used is really good airy and crunchy at the same time. However, it’s pretty bland. Not much cheese in it. I would not order that again

Gourmet margarita Very much enjoyed that. The bread was amazing. It was thin yet fluffy at the crust. It was chard to perfection. The tomatoes were seasoned and super juicy, Cheese was not too overpowering. Mozzarella balls were really good. Overall, just a fantastic fantastic pizza

The spaghetti with tomato sauce and basil was pretty good, pasta itself was properly cooked, tomato sauce had a nice tang to it, with that slight hint of basil and perfect amount of salt. It was nice. I would order it again.

I was told The fried fish plate and grilled fish plate we’re really good, the members at the table that ordered those plates smashed them and we’re happy. Same goes for the fettuccine Alfredo no complaints.

My issue was with my own plate, the salmon and risotto. The salmon itself was cooked right, however, was lacking flavour, and worst of all towards the end I was tasting pretty strong fish flavour that was not pleasant. On top of that, the risotto itself was so undercooked, It tasted like hard raw uncooked rice . And when I tried to disregard the texture and focus on flavor, it was still disgusting. I actually had to return it, and ask the waiter if it can be replaced with a Caesar salad instead.

Service and waiters were great, like I said, food came out quick, waiters were on top of their game with taking care of us with all our needs, they were all properly trained.

Overall, this place is pretty good, it’s nice. It’s cozy. It’s clean. I would come back...

Overrated and Disappointing – Avoid This Place

The staff was unfriendly, the food was mediocre, and the prices were unjustifiably high. I strongly do not recommend this place. The number of positive reviews is surprising and seems questionable.

I visited this restaurant to celebrate my wife's birthday, and my opinion is based on my genuine experience—perhaps the only truthful one among many overly positive reviews.

A female staff member refused to seat me at my preferred table, yet just minutes later, another couple was seated there without issue. This was both rude and baffling, especially considering the restaurant was half-empty on a Tuesday night.

The lasagna I had was decent, but the pizza was just average. The overall atmosphere was unpleasant, with excessive noise—outside from traffic and inside mostly from the staff itself.

To make matters worse, a 12% service charge was added to my bill without asking. Unlike other places that suggest an optional tip, this was presumptuous and unacceptable—especially given the poor service. They certainly did...

Good food. My server was great. I took off a star because the staff started cleaning ny table and asked me to sit at an adjacent table so 4 people could take my table. It had not been more than 2 minutes after paying my bill. What made it bad was that the restaurant was only half full. Imthe person apologized as if she was asked to do it. I am not sure but in any event it basically soured me on the restaurant.

I needed to update my review due to your response. I find it a bit confusing. To begin with, it seems odd that the customer would book my SPECIFIC table. I had been at the restaurnt for about 20 mins. If the table had truley been resevered it should have been marked and I should have been given another table. We both know that is not what really happened. In addition, what if I had not finished my meal? Would you have moved me to another table in the middle of my meal???? Please learn from your mistake and just do...
