Cantina da Massa

The food is delicious, but the lamb portion is ridiculously small—three small pieces that barely serve one person for R$135 is absurd, even compared to the city's best restaurants. Disappointing.

The food is always great Always fresh (especially the pasta) Recommended: Filet Parmesan with fettuccine Alfredo and baked burrata.

This place is worth visiting. I highly recommend it.

Wonderful, always.

This Friday (06/20/25) we were at Cantina da Massa with a large group of friends and colleagues, with a reservation previously made for 24 people at 7:30 pm. Everything was organized in advance, precisely to ensure comfort for both the group and the establishment. However, unfortunately, the service and attitude of the restaurant staff left a lot to be desired.As is natural at events with many people, some members of the group arrived promptly at 7:30 pm, while others arrived between 8 and 8:30 pm. Nothing out of the ordinary, considering the traffic, commitments and unforeseen events that are part of the routine of any large group.Even though several members were initially present and they informed us that the rest were on their way, we were surprised by an extremely pressured attitude from the restaurant staff. They constantly insisted that we occupy all the tables immediately, under threat of canceling the reservation and giving the seats to other customers. This attitude caused discomfort and embarrassment, as it is unreasonable to demand that a group of 24 people all be present at the agreed time, as if it were an individual commitment.What is most surprising is the lack of understanding and flexibility. After all, a reservation for 24 people implies a considerable consumption and good revenue for the restaurant. At the very least, respect, empathy and professionalism are expected, and not a harsh and impatient approach.This type of behavior is inconceivable for any establishment that intends to offer a good experience to its customers. Pressuring and threatening a group that had organized itself in advance, that had already partially arrived, and that was clearly committed to consumption, demonstrates a lack of preparation in serving groups and a lack of appreciation for customers.We hope that the restaurant rethinks its stance and invests in staff training, as this experience compromised the atmosphere of a meeting that had everything to be pleasant.
