Empório Cantina Roperto

If the price weren't so high, I would give it 5 stars for everything. The plastic spoon to pick up the grated cheese was out of place with the rest of the service and decor.

Ropperto is a higher standard, only in price! I'll never go again! I had dinner with friends at a cantina known for its good dishes but poor wine, so I brought a double magnum bottle of wine along with a regular bottle of Sauternes. I've already had to face the tablecloth-less dishes with paper menus, the napkins from a suburban bakery, the cutlery wrapped like a kilo restaurant, and the Jurassic, uncreative appetizers (still tasty), but the bread already seems stale, so much so that the garlic toast saved the night! I must say that I went for the goat, which I loved, and was disappointed. I ate a small plate and gave up, since it seemed previously roasted and reheated, with dry and burnt parts like that ham from a bakery. And since it wasn't that good, there was some leftover on the plates, but the broccoli and potatoes were good. The fusilli with sausage was praised without much enthusiasm, and the desserts were a DISASTER! First, because according to the waiter, everything was gone; the only thing left was tiramisu in the plastic wrap typical of a cheap country bakery. Finally, the bill. Despite the service of only two wines—the red wine we got in a glass and the Sauternes had to be served in a shot glass—we were charged R$280.00 for corkage, plus an additional 10% of the service charge, totaling R$308.00 for corkage. This is absolutely terrible, for a restaurant that doesn't even have proper wine glasses!I thought it was so absurd that I didn't even argue and preferred to pay the R$1,955.80, to force myself to forget this place and never walk past it again! Here are the photos to help the unwary!

I've always been a fan of the cantina, but today's wait was disorganized and the service left a LOT to be desired.

Pleasant atmosphere, excellent service and good food, but the Cabrito lacked a little seasoning.

Of all the wonderful restaurants we've been to in São Paulo, this was definitely the most disappointing. The waiters are friendly but not very agile; they seem to be doing their job out of obligation. Empty bottles remained on the table the entire time. Drinks had to be ordered once, twice, or three times before they arrived. The polenta, R$49.00, some of it soggy, flavorless, and completely unpresentable. It looked like it was made by someone who didn't have the slightest desire. The Milanese steak we ordered for our son was AWFUL!! At R$121.00, it almost seems like a joke. LOOK AT THE PHOTO. ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-ONE REAIS!!!! .. the dry, burnt steak with no flavor and still with a taste reminiscent of fish (old oil)... The carbonara fetuccini pasta super heavy sauce with a thick texture... anyway, they don't even offer the basics for the price charged... one day maybe the place must have been good... today any of these corner snack bars has more elaborate and tasty dishes... I'm sorry.
