Tuesday January 15, 2013: Viva Las Vegans! Tom says we're 'Vegetarian Friendly'
We've always had plenty of vegan and ovo-lacto options. But our philosophy has been to provide an ample selection of composed plates that meat eaters would order and may not even notice what they're missing. That's why you'll never see our menu labelled as such.

Riccardo's original compositions are a rich but gentle mix of Musica Popular Brasileira, and contain elements of folk, Bossa Nova, and Latin Music.

With Mr. Crespo singing in Portuguese, audiences can appreciate the essence of Brazil through the magic of his music performed in traditional Brazilian style.
