Brazilians just adore Italian food! Italian food is popular and in very high demand due to the large population of Italian descendants in the country. Many areas of southern Brazil converse only in Italian. Many of these Italians immigrated to Brazil in the 1800's and yet still maintain foods and culture from Italy even after all of these generations! Sao Paulo has a large population of Italians in the Bexiga neighborhood, and in Southern Brazil there are huge populations in Caxias do Sul, Bento Goncalves, and Garibaldi areas. These areas usually have the best Italian food, but competition has maintained the quality of food very high everywhere.
Restaurants in Brazil are typically designed to handle lunch time diners rather than the typical dinner time customers. This greatly changes how they serve foods, and how they price their dishes. Many lunch time diners are looking for a very simple dining experience, with a nutritious and fairly quick meal. Hot buffets offer them this by having various hot dishes ready. Pricing is generally by weight or an all-you-can-eat model, the majority of places have both options available.
Sandwiches are regarded as a snack and not a proper meal! Therefore restaurants normally serve up hot and hearty dishes for lunch rather than the typical North American light style lunches.
Meals are normally served and enjoyed on premises, but many establishments also offer take-out and food delivery services. Of course the restaurants vary greatly in appearance and offerings, including a wide variety of foods.
For Brazilians it is very common to go back home during lunch to have their meal with their families. This isn’t always viable, specifically in the larger metropolitan areas, so restaurants have taken up the slack and designed a business around catering to these working families. In many of the considerably smaller cities it can be difficult to find a traditional sit down and order off the menu style eatery.
