We were there for breakfast w my boyfriend and we both loved the food; the portions were very satisfying. I think I’ll be craving that amazing pancake all the time! The service was excellent—from the waitstaff to the manager, everyone made sure everything was perfect. Thank you, Prince, Joana, Fernando, and Eda!

Da Andrea is amazing! I brought my friends from Florida to try it out, and we all left impressed! We started with the meatballs as an appetizer – they were so flavorful and tender. For the main dishes, the ravioli with veal, carbonara and the gnocchi with Gorgonzola were absolute standouts. The gnocchi with Gorgonzola was creamy and comforting, it is my favorite. And the cocktails by bartender Luiz? Amazing! My friends couldn’t stop raving about everything. Can’t wait to go back! Great food, great drinks, amazing and gorgeous ambiance.
