The Italian Terzetto opened in 2005 and has become a hit among cariocas ever since. Classic Italian cuisine with contemporary flourishes, the fresh breads made daily on site are a highlight, and the selection of antipasti is suitably impressive. Foie gras cooked in red wine and mushrooms, the classic pata negra and the cognac-flambeed giant shrimps take the awards, followed up with a host of fish and seafood options all expertly handled and suitably pricey.
