Osteria Policarpo, Rio de Janeiro

This small neighborhood Italian restaurant is the place to come if you´re looking for authentic dishes at prices that won´t break the bank. The cozy little spot has a laid-back ambiance, and the delicious food has made Osteria Policarpo a favorite haunt for local families. There are good vegetarian options too, such as the starters of grilled eggplant, zucchini in balsamic vinegar, or mushrooms grilled in garlic butter and served with wholegrain rice and a herb sauce. In-demand mains include risottos (the version with shrimp and asparagus is highly recommended), and the home-made pastas are equally popular. -Lucy Bryson
