It´s Italian Trattoria do Guto features some of the best Italian food I have had in Florianópolis. The dishes have a distinguished flavor, cooking experience that chef GUTO has learned in US California restaurant kitchens. Situated on city centre, it is one of my favorite restaurants in Florianópolis. Me and my wife decided to celebrate a special occasion in this lovely place.

For stater we ordered drinks, salmon salad and some beef scallops. The salad had a special dressing - I believe based on balsamic vinegar - and generous pieces of shredded salmon.

Time for pasta and looking at the menu it can be quite difficult to decide what to order among so many interesting options. I decided for Tortellini ai Funghi - a kind of ring-shaped pasta with white sauce, mushroom and herbs - which was amazingly tasty. A pasta dish can serve two but my wife preferred to have spaghetti bolognese.

The restaurant has a delightful ambiance. At night the place is dim lit and all the tables candle-lit, thus making a romantic dining setting. The decoration has lots of rustic and old objects on the walls and ceiling giving a sense of friendly intimacy.
The table service is professional. A very polite waiter served us and despite his short experience in the house, he was able to provide good recommendations.
About pricing, I felt it is inexpensive considering the quality of the meal, table service and ambiance. I spent around R$120 and there was left over food which I ordered a takeout — they’d boxed it to go. A couple normally would spend half of that price and eat quite well.
Highly recommended restaurant to dine out with your partner, celebrate with close friends or family.

This Saturday, summer has ended. The average temperatures were the hottest in many years. From now the new season autumn will cool it down but we still can expected some hot days during the next month.

If you like Italian and is not willing to spend more than R$ 50 for two people, Del Tomate is a good option for its convenient location combined with food at good prices. The Afonso Delambert Neto road is one of the most busy in Lagoa da Conceição centre, with many bars, cafes and restaurants on both sides. During high season you can barely walk along it.

The interior is simple and there might be nothing that will catch your attention but the open front gives it a different look allowing you to be part of the scene on the road.

You can choose the type of pasta you want (in individual portions or for two), with whatever type of sauce found in the menu. I was in two and we had Caneloni with Carbonara sauce ( R$ 14 ) , Tuna salad (R$ 8 ) and Fettuccini with Tomato sauce and shrimp (R$ 14 ) all in individual portions. A large Pizza costs about R$ 20 – R$ 26. The only down side is that the staff seems to be a bit unexperienced and made a mistake in my order twice.

Restaurants normally overprice their food like the next door Mexicano, but Del Tomate goes into another direction ofering the traditional pizza and pasta at good prices.
