Great restaurant. Great service. Good was best I've had in Rio to date.

Em plena Olimpíada havia lugar para almoço, existe algo melhor? Meu Spaguetti com File e Shitake estava ótimo (não estava no menu). Minha mulher pediu um Ravioli recheado com Pato que achou excelente. Chope Stela Artois, uma delicia. Os preços são adequados, sem sustos. Não pedimos sobremesa (carissimas).
Havia ido no Forneria São Sebastião, marca anterior do restaurante e não havia gostado do prato de massa. Resolvi dar outra chance ontem e fui com 2 amigos no Aníbal. Pedimos chopp, uma burrata, uma pizza de queijo de cabra e outra de 4 queijos. A apresentação do local e das pizzas estava boa, assim como o sabor, entretanto, infelizmente todos nós 3 passamos mal no dia seguinte de manhã, impossibilitando inclusive de eu ir trabalhar. Infelizmente não consegui mudar meu conceito do lugar, ainda mais não sendo um local barato.
I will start with the good: The space is VERY charming and the food is beautifully prepared.
That's all I got because it goes downhill in a hurry from there. The food is incredibly overpriced and either surprisingly bland or disgustingly over-salted.
I know chefs here have a heavy hand with the salt, but this was a new low for me here. The olive tapenade on the carpaccio was so salty it was simply inedible. And the carpaccio itself was shockingly bland.
The asparagus and endive salad with buffalo ricotta was an embarrassment. It cost R$49 and literally came with 1 asparagus spear sliced in half and 2 pieces on endive. I will say there was ample ricotta, but of course that was rather salty as well.
Maybe the cooked food would be better, but we didn't want to wait to find out. After these dishes we cancelled the rest of our review, paid our R$130 bill for just apps and water and went elsewhere.
AVOID!
Beautiful open air space. Burrata done perfectly. Fully accessible sanitarios. Would eat again.
