Casa Di Paolo

Rio Grande do Sul


This classic near Pórtico da Pipa serves Serra Gaúcha must-try-once buffet of comida típica italiana: capeletti (meat-filled pasta) soup, salad, pasta, galeto (rotisserie spring chicken), linguiça (garlicky pork sausage), pork ribs, polenta and fried cheese for R$75; tack on a rodízio (smorgasbord) of grilled meats and lamb for R$89 (unnecessary, unless you've got a real hankering).

Call ahead for free transport at dinner.
