Fodor's Expert Review Cipriani
$$$$
Copacabana and Leme
Italian
The most lavish of Copacabana Palace's three restaurants is this homage to Northern-Italian cooking, set overlooking the enormous swimming pool and replete in soft lighting, velvet chairs, and impeccable staff. A contender for the most formal restaurant in Rio, it's a serious special treat to feast on fabulous fresh pasta and sip a Cipriani (champagne muddled with fresh peach juice).
