Service and quality and big smiles. Drinks are made with no delay and they did not hesitate to let me book a table for 1 person. That was great.
This hidden gem is a must to try.

I came here for dinner on a Monday ~ 5PM. It was not packed at all. The service was great and ordering was a breeze. I ordered a cosmopolitan, which was pretty good! The cacio e Pepe’s presentation took me aback a bit. The pasta was served on top, and wasn’t actually mixed in. It was still good, but nothing spectacular. The tiramisu was very good! Best part of the meal.

I was really looking forward to some Italian food , and this showed up in the Michelin guide as a Bib Gourmand. I really try to not write too many poor reviews but I would rather help people avoid wasting their money or in my case wasting my appetite during my limited time in Rio, I can only eat so many meals and when I have a bad one it's such a waste.

The food was really not good and I'm not sure if any of the chefs are actually familiar with Italian food or just making things up. Having recently been to Rome this food is so far off the mark its not even funny.

I ordered the suppli and they were the wrong shape, the cheese inside wasn't melted , and the sauce was super acidic and they had a runnier consistency than they should have. I didn't finish them.

I also ordered the Amatriciana. A classic Roman pasta with very simple ingredients, pasta, a simple tomato sauce, guanciale, pecorino and black pepper.  I understand it may be harder to get some of the correct ingredients in Brazil but again this tasted so different than the real thing, and not good. The tomato sauce was again super acidic and sour. The guianciale (or bacon) was cut super small and you didn't get the delicate flavour or the pork fat or black pepper in the dish, just an overwhelming flavour of bad tomato sauce . I took three bites and couldn't eat anymore . I'm fine to pay the full bill , there was no deduction from the bill, the staff seemed almost used to it.

The service was friendly and the room looked nice , but the food was unfortunately awful .

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Pici Trattoria, and I must say, it was an outstanding experience. The highlight of the meal was undoubtedly their pesto sauce. Rich, vibrant, and bursting with flavor, it perfectly complemented the freshly made pasta. The balance of basil, garlic, and olive oil was spot on, making each bite a delight.

What impressed me even more was the fair pricing. For the quality of food and the generous portions, the prices are quite reasonable. It's refreshing to find a place that prioritizes both excellent flavors and affordability.

The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a great spot for both casual dining and special occasions. I left feeling satisfied and eager to return. Highly recommend Pici for anyone craving authentic Italian pasta with an exceptional pesto!
