About the restaurant
Rio Brazil Steakhouse set on the outskirts of Richmond and Glen Allen.
A Brazilian steakhouse, commonly known as a "churrascaria," is a dining establishment that specializes in the traditional Brazilian barbecue style of cooking meat. These restaurants are renowned for their "rodízio" service, where a variety of skewered meats, such as beef, pork, lamb, and chicken, are slow-cooked over an open flame.
Our Customers experiences a continuous tableside service where servers, known as "gauchos," carve the meats directly onto the diners' plates. The rodízio style allows patrons to enjoy a wide selection of meats until they are satisfied, with the serving process continuing until they signal for it to stop.
In addition to the succulent meats, Brazilian steakhouses often offer an expansive salad bar with a variety of fresh vegetables, cheeses, and side dishes to complement the main courses offering a unique and popular dining experience.

About the restaurant
Family. Everything about our story comes back to that one word. Our story started in Carini, Italy and our individual journeys have brought us all here to Richmond, Virginia. The family is back together again, and is ready to share our passion for family and great food. From our Famiglia to yours...

We are proud to bring the flavors of Old (vecchio) and New (nuovo) Italy to the table. From classic dishes that the Genova family made on Sundays for family dinner to new and unique twists on Italian cuisine, every dish is made with love.

Never disappoints. Pasta made in house, sauces very tasty, and service always on point. Have continued to be a customer for years, and compared to other area Italian restaurants is a hidden gem. And regardless of the quantity of customers on a given night, have never been offered food that was not at a proper temperature. A true value.

A fun place to eat...a speakeasy. Non descript from the front, you wouldn't know it to be a restaurant from the outside. But once you get through the foyer, a long room opens where you might expect to see Pretty Boy Floyd or Bonnie and Clyde drinking bootleg whiskey. Food was great, Drinks and service were better. Plenty of long tables for large groups, a patio area (but too cold). Try it, you will love it!

Very much enjoyed the atmosphere. Food was delicious and my salmon was cooked to order. I would have liked my fries to be crisp. Very good service from a nice young man who was also training a young lady.

Casa Del Barco is good, but a little overpriced. You are paying for the location. Our service was excellent and the food was good, but it is more expensive than most Mexican restaurants in the area.
