Papagaio - FINALE LIGURE

We were delighted to find this special restaurant in Finale, different from other typical restaurants of this area. The starter was a mix of different ethnical foods, from hummus, pan de queso, fresh ananas salad from Bahia, taboulé etc and main course, a MUST for meat lovers! The picanha melts in your mouth. The location is very tropical and the cocktails bring you into the Brazilian spirit. We wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant

My Italian colleague and I visited this restaurant as we wanted to try something different. Well it was different alright. we were welcomed by an Italian person which we found out later that he was the owner, not very friendly but as we spoke English we thought that had something to do with it. He sat us down and presented us with the menu. My Italian Colleague asked about the menu choices (Menu was all in Italian) first choice was the 25 Euro buffet and meat the second choice was just the meat at 14 Euros. We went and looked at the buffet but it was not very appetizing and the buffet table was very messy and not clean, we decided that we are just going to have a few drinks and the second choice the meat only. We asked the owner to come over so we can order, as he did not spoke English my Italian colleague ask about the meat choice so the owner went ahead and explained, I wanted to make sure what we were getting so I asked my colleague to ask again the answer was always the same you get 4 types of meat, we also asked for a mixed salad and we were told that Brazilians do not eat salads, so we went ahead and order, the owner explained the process, there were 2 round discs on our table 1 side red and one side green and he explained that when we are full to turn the disc to the red sign and when we wanted more meat we would turn the disc to the green side so they start serving the meat, we first received the sausage just a 1 small piece each which was very dry, than we received the chicken, again a very small piece of a chicken thigh each, that was a little better, next we received 2 small pieces each of the ribs, they was no much meat on them mostly bone, next we received the beef, this where everything started to our surprise, the waiter started to slice the meat off the skewer so I asked him to slice a little more he replied that this is how much I am suppose to slice as you only have a limited amount of meat according to the menu, my colleague and I looked at each other so we thought that we did not read the menu properly so we asked to see the menu again, we read the menu and the only thing the menu for choice 2 only meat stated was that meat on the skewer not the quantity nor the type of meat. So the owner start explaining the menu he stated that the 1st choice was all you can eat and had the words NON-STOP in English and because the second choice did not have the word NON-STOP it was assumed that he decided how much we were going to be served, you can now imagine how we felt as we have asked him about the menu at no time this was explained to us, it was not so much about the food but about how the menu is presented and how he is tricking his valued customers as you can imagine we were very upset about this whole situation we decided to leave hungry and disappointed the owner continue to insult us and our intelligence as well, telling my colleague that he does not understand or know Italian and called us cheap as we did not go with the 25 Euro deal. Never appologized for the maybe misunderstanding (which we do not thing so) and or offer us something else instead. I do visit this area on business very regularly and I am accompanied by a lot of people from the area and other countries, I will never go to this restaurant again nor will I recommended to anyone.

We were welcomed with a small aperitif, which was refreshing and tasty. A small shot glass of what I think was a passion fruit granita with strong alcohol. My husband and I both took the buffet/full menu option for 25 euro per person. This allows one to have appetizers buffet, including breads, salads, small fried items. All that was delicious. We were tempted to take more, but wanted to save room for the meat. The meat is the main course. They come around to your table with the different kinds on skewers, and then take a piece or two and put it onto your plate. To indicate that you are ready for meat, there are disks on your table with a red and a green side. You flip the disk to green to indicate that you want some, red for a break or to stop. The full menu I think comes with many types, there is a more limited menu where you have only access to 4. We had to stop after sampling only 6 kinds because we were too full! There was bone-in chicken pieces with crispy skin, well-seasoned sausage, pork wrapped with bacon, lamb, beef pieces with fat, and then slices of beef steak. The two beefs were the best. I also really liked the sausage. Only the pork I wasn't so crazy about, it was a little dry. I also saw them going around with pork and what looked like lamb gyro-style meat. The meat is served with rice and beans which you can top with manioc flour, and a dressing you can eat with the meat. All that is fine, sure, tasty--but if I were you I'd just eat more meat, that's what you came for. After meat, you get slices of pineapple cooked with cinnamon, which is great. We were also asked if we wanted dessert, but we took the pineapple to be dessert and were happy. To drink there are a large variety of caipirinhas, a Brazilian cocktail made with cachaça. This is great in the hot weather, really refreshing. They have sweeter ones which include fruit juices, and more
