Rio Brasilian Restaurant — Restaurant in Olbia

The food was brilliant (party of 4, we had a sirloin steak, 2 hamburgers and a chicken burger), cooked to perfection, with great presentation. Also the chips were easily the best I've had in Sardinia, and definitely some of the best I've ever had. The service was great, very attentive staff, who were able to help us out when we weren't sure about our drinks choices - there's a dislike of vermentinos in our house, but the staff here were able to give us great recommendations for alternatives - and served us our meals promptly with low wait times. The atmosphere of the restaurant was amazing, very well decorated with great background music, enough volume to listen to without straining, but not enough to interrupt conversation. The prices were very reasonable as well, especially for the quality of food and service provided. One thing to note is that the menu is very meat-heavy, but there are a couple of vegetarian options on the menu. I would recommend checking the website before visiting to see if you need to decide on meals beforehand also. All in all, well worth the visit, and I would...

The staff escorted us to the table and explained the concept to us very hastily. We weren't hungry and just wanted to have something to drink. I asked the staff if we could only have drinks, and the response was non-verbal, as they simply opened the cocktail menu and placed it on the table. We ordered our drinks, and in the meantime, everyone who arrived after us was served and had even received their food. At that time, the tables were only about one-third full or less. After waiting for about 40 minutes (for drinks), we decided to leave the restaurant. We walked downstairs and said goodbye. The rude waiter who had served us (the one with the mustache who greeted people at the entrance) barely acknowledged us and said goodbye and thank you as if he was thankful we were leaving. As we left, the waiter was on his phone at the entrance and didn’t even look at us when we said goodbye. We were unsure why we were so unwelcome and deliberately not served. If it was because we only wanted drinks, they could have told us from the beginning that it...

Where to begin

The concept is a cool one, with Brazilian rodizio on the menu. You get a vast amount of different and also well tasting side dishes on the table. Then the staff will come to the table with different swords with different cuts of grilled meats.

The food was esquisite, cant fault anything. Even though we had to ask for some special treatment due to our circumstances

We also got to taste a good selection of the cocktails, both the real ones as well as the non-alcoholic options. All of them were great balanced with exciting tastes.

Did we mention there was a singer/ songwriter there every night? He played and sang some easylistening pop, classics and Brazilian songs. It was great listening to him, and the atmosphere is great with some low key live music.

Oh and the staff. They are GREAT! what a feeling to find a place where the staff actually sings,dances, laughs and smiles all the time. That is the most beautiful feeling, to feel welcomed by people who genuinely seem to love what they do - and have...
