Diners enjoying the pizzas at Capricciosa.

Capricciosa JARDIM BOTANICO PIZZA I find them a little overpriced, but fans swear that Capricciosa’s thin-crust wood-oven baked pizzas, loaded with fresh ingredients, are worth every centavo.

Casa do Filé HUMAITA STEAK The secret to Casa do File’s succulent, juicy steaks is that they’re seared at a high temperature. My favorite is the Filé Oswaldo Aranha, topped with a vampire-repelling amount of crunchy fried garlic, a side of rice, French fries, and tangy onion and green-pepper vinaigrette.
