CIAO

Con due sedi Ciao Pizzeria Napoletana è un rinomato brand di pizzerie a Porto Alegre, Brasile, celebre per la sua autentica pizza in stile napoletano. L’impasto è il protagonista indiscusso: leggero, elastico e con quel cornicione alveolato che ti aspetti in via dei Tribunali a Napoli. Gli ingredienti, dal pomodoro alla farina, sono di altissima qualità e si vede. La Margherita rimane il test definitivo e lo superano a pieni voti. Ma qui vi consigliamo anche l’ottima Cosacca e una saporita Prosciutto e Rucola, da provare anche il Calzone. In carta anche alcuni antipasti e molti dessert. Alcune birre, soft drink e cocktail in abbinamento. L’atmosfera è vibrante, moderna e molto “cool”, perfetta per una serata informale tra amici a Bom Fim o Cidade Baixa. With two locations, Ciao Pizzeria Napoletana is a renowned brand of pizzerias in Porto Alegre, Brazil, famous for its authentic Neapolitan-style pizza. The dough is the undisputed star: light, elastic, and with that airy crust you would expect on Via dei Tribunali in Naples. The ingredients, from the tomatoes to the flour, are of the highest quality and it shows. The Margherita remains the definitive test and passes with flying colors. But we also recommend the excellent Cosacca and a flavorful Prosciutto and Arugula, as well as the Calzone. The menu also includes some appetizers and many desserts. A selection of beers, soft drinks, and cocktails are available for pairing. The atmosphere is lively, modern, and "cool," well-suited for a casual evening with friends in Bom Fim or Cidade Baixa.

Porto Alegre, Brazil

Cantina Pastasciutta Boulevard Laçador

The address places it inside a dining corridor where pasta houses have competed for decades, making it a reference point for anyone tracing how Gaúcho cooking absorbed and reinterpreted Italian immigration.

Porto Alegre, Brazil

Capone Drinkeria

Capone Drinkeria occupies a corner of Porto Alegre's Independência neighbourhood, at Rua Castro Alves 447, where the city's bar culture intersects with its European-inflected social traditions. The address places it squarely in one of the city's more characterful residential districts, where neighbourhood bars carry more cultural weight than their scale suggests. Contact details and hours are best confirmed directly before visiting.

Porto Alegre, Brazil

Iaiá Bistrô

A neighbourhood bistro in Porto Alegre's Vila Assunção district, Iaiá Bistrô operates in a part of the city where sourcing decisions and culinary intent tend to do the talking. The address on Rua Chavantes places it within reach of local producers whose output defines the gaúcho table, making it a reference point for anyone tracking how southern Brazilian ingredients are being interpreted in a bistro format.

Porto Alegre, Brazil

Koh Pee Pee

Koh Pee Pee occupies a streetside address on Rua Schiller in Porto Alegre's Rio Branco neighbourhood, where the city's appetite for Southeast Asian cooking has carved out a modest but growing niche. The name evokes Thailand's Ko Phi Phi archipelago, signalling a kitchen oriented around the flavours and techniques of the Gulf of Thailand and beyond. It sits within a dining quarter that rewards those willing to look past the city's dominant Italian-Brazilian canon.

Porto Alegre, Brazil

Le Bateau Ivre

Le Bateau Ivre occupies a quietly significant address on Rua Comendador Rheingantz in Porto Alegre's Auxiliadora neighbourhood, where the city's French-inflected dining tradition holds its firmest ground. The name, borrowed from Rimbaud, signals a certain literary self-awareness that sets the tone before a dish arrives. For a city whose restaurant scene rewards those who look beyond the obvious, this is one of the addresses that repays attention.

Porto Alegre, Brazil

Le Bistrot Gourmet

Le Bistrot Gourmet occupies a residential address on Alameda Alípio César in Porto Alegre's Boa Vista neighbourhood, placing it at some distance from the city's more visited dining corridors. As a French-inflected bistrot in a Southern Brazilian city shaped by German and Italian immigration, it sits in a small but deliberate niche within the local restaurant scene. Boa Vista's quieter streets give the address a neighbourhood-restaurant quality that the central dining districts rarely replicate.

Porto Alegre, Brazil

Le Grand Burger

Le Grand Burger occupies a corner of Moinhos de Vento, Porto Alegre's most composed residential neighbourhood, where the burger format is treated with the same deliberate attention given to a full-service kitchen. The address on Rua Marquês do Pombal places it within easy reach of the neighbourhood's established dining corridor, making it a natural stop for those already exploring the area's broader table.

Porto Alegre, Brazil

NB Steak

NB Steak sits on Avenida Dr. Nilo Peçanha in Porto Alegre's Boa Vista district, placing it within the city's established steakhouse corridor where gaucho beef culture meets contemporary dining expectations. The address signals a mid-to-upper tier positioning in a city that takes its churrasco seriously. For visitors mapping Porto Alegre's meat-forward dining scene, it belongs on the itinerary alongside the city's broader restaurant offer.

Porto Alegre, Brazil

NB Steak Ramiro Barcelos

NB Steak Ramiro Barcelos sits on one of Floresta's most trafficked streets, positioning itself inside Porto Alegre's serious beef culture rather than apart from it. The address on Rua Ramiro Barcelos places it at the intersection of the neighbourhood's restaurant corridor and the city's long tradition of quality churrasco and steakhouse dining. Plan ahead: demand at this tier of Porto Alegre steakhouse consistently outpaces walk-in availability.

Porto Alegre, Brazil

Ossala

Ossala occupies a residential address in Porto Alegre's Três Figueiras district, where the dining scene increasingly favours intimate, neighbourhood-anchored formats over central showcase venues. The address on Rua Desembargador Espiridião de Lima Medeiros places it within a quieter tier of the city's restaurant circuit, where floor team cohesion and repeat-guest culture tend to define the experience as much as what arrives on the plate.

Porto Alegre, Brazil

Parma d'Oro Pizzaria

On a side street in Porto Alegre's Centro Histórico, Parma d'Oro draws a repeat crowd that knows what it wants and comes back for it. The address on Rua General Vasco Alves places it squarely in the working heart of the city, where lunch counters and long-standing trattorias share the same blocks. It is the kind of place that regulars defend quietly, without needing to explain why.

Porto Alegre, Brazil

Ratskeller Restaurante

Ratskeller Restaurante occupies a São Geraldo address on Av. Pará 1324, placing it within Porto Alegre's network of neighbourhood dining rooms that draw on the city's deep German and Italian immigrant traditions. Among Porto Alegre's mid-register restaurant options, Ratskeller sits in the category of address-driven locals' establishments rather than destination dining, making it a reference point for understanding how the city's everyday culinary culture operates outside the headline venues.

Porto Alegre, Brazil

Restaurante Vivenda Portuguesa

Restaurante Vivenda Portuguesa occupies a address on Rua Visconde do Rio Branco in Porto Alegre's Floresta neighbourhood, where the city's tradition of European immigrant dining runs deep. The house format suggests a table-service experience rooted in Portuguese culinary conventions, positioning it within a local scene that prizes long meals, shared dishes, and wine-forward hospitality. Advance contact is advisable before visiting.

Porto Alegre, Brazil

Takêdo

Takêdo sits in Porto Alegre's Bela Vista neighbourhood, where a broader shift toward technique-driven cooking is reshaping how the city's restaurants engage with Brazilian ingredients. The address on Rua Carvalho Monteiro places it within reach of the neighbourhood's established dining circuit, making it a reference point for how global culinary methods translate onto a distinctly southern Brazilian table.

Porto Alegre, Brazil

Yakuza Sushi 893

On Rua Castro Alves in Porto Alegre's Independência district, Yakuza Sushi 893 occupies a slice of the city's growing Japanese dining scene with a name that leans into deliberate provocation. The address alone signals a venue that operates outside the mainstream of Brazilian sushi bars, positioning itself closer to the focused, counter-culture edge of the format than to the sprawling all-you-can-eat model that still dominates much of the country.

Dionisia Restaurante VinhoBar

A wine bar and restaurant on Padre Chagas, Porto Alegre's most wine-literate street, Dionisia holds a 2026 Star Wine List award that places it among Brazil's recognised specialists. The format pairs a considered drinks programme with a kitchen that supports rather than overshadows the glass. For Porto Alegre's Moinhos de Vento neighbourhood, it represents the serious end of the wine-bar category.
