Ataliba is a traditional churrascaria on Beira Mar avenue serving good quality churrasco. Among the churrascarias that I have been in Floripa, I consider Ataliba the best. I am not a devoted carnivore and rather prefer fish, but sometimes I enjoy eating churrasco.
The house works in the system “all you can eat” costing R$ 58,60 per person. Although the price is a bit expensive than average restaurants, it includes a good and diverse salad bar, some hot dishes and also many types of desert. Beverages you pay apart.
The table service is good and professional. As soon as you sit and order the drinks they start bringing the sticks of meat to your table.
The meat has good quality and it is well prepared. I also had the opportunity to try some different types of meat, like roasted ostrich and boar.
The interior has simple lines and few decoration on the walls, nothing that will catch your attention, but modern enough for a pleasant time. It has ample space and many tables, good for a celebration with friends or family.
For those new to churrasco, I can assure a good first impression.

Opening hours: 11h ~ 15h / 19h ~ 0h (Sunday only lunch)

Regarded as one of the best pizza in Florianópolis, Basílico is a popular restaurant in Canto da Lagoa that offers the rounds prepared with good quality ingredients, following the tradition of pizzarias in São Paulo city. The menu presents the basic toppings as well as its own creations, like the popular Caprese - thick tomatoes slices topped with buffalo mozzarella, basil leaves and black olives pesto.
The ambiance is good, with low-key lighting and sparse decoration. There is a mix of brick and wood so it gives a general cozy feeling. There are tables inside the house and also in the pleasant covered yard.
The table service is formal and the servers are ready to get the pizza slices in your plate.
Prices are quite expensive if compared to the average pizzarias. A large pizza costs around R$ 50 and it has 8 slices.
I wanted to eat a good pizza with my wife and my choice was Basílico this time. To start, I tried a Primo Basílio salad - arugula leaves topped with large tomatos slices, pieces of artichoke heart, dried tomatoes and buffalo mozzarella. After that I had a large pizza with 3 different toppings. The crust was thin and the flavours were delicious.
In overall pizzaria Basílico is a great place to share with friends and family or to take your partner for a good dine out. It delivers an excellent and authentic Brazilian pizza but there are also some other good options in Floripa that can do the same for less price.
