Brazilians just adore Italian food! Italian food is popular and in high demand due to the large population of Italian descendants in the country. Many areas of southern Brazil communicate only in Italian. Many of these Italians immigrated to Brazil in the 1800's and yet still maintain customs and culture from Italy even after all of these generations! Sao Paulo has a huge population of Italians in the Bexiga neighborhood, and in Southern Brazil there are large populations in Caxias do Sul, Bento Goncalves, and Garibaldi areas. These areas normally have the best Italian food, but competition has kept the quality of food high everywhere.
Restaurants in Brazil are typically designed to handle lunch time guests rather than the typical dinner time diners. This significantly changes how they prepare foods, and how they price dishes. Many lunch time diners are looking for a very casual eating experience, with a hearty and relatively quick meal. Hot buffets offer them this by having many hot dishes ready. Pricing is frequently by weight or an all-you-can-eat model, most places have both options available.
Sandwiches are thought of as a snack and not a proper meal! Therefore restaurants normally serve up hot and hearty dishes for lunch in lieu of the typical North American light style lunches.
Meals are typically served and consumed on premises, but many restaurants also offer take-out and food delivery services. Of course the establishments vary widely in appearance and offerings, including a wide variety of foods.
For Brazilians it is very common to go back home for lunch to have their meal with their families. This isn’t always possible, particularly in the larger meropolises, so restaurants have taken up the slack and designed a business model around catering to these people. In many of the less crowded cities it can be problematic to find a traditional sit down and order off the menu style restaurant.
