O local não oferece apenas uma refeição, mas sim uma experiência completa de um ambiente aconchegante com uma deliciosa comida caseira no fogão a lenha. Me senti nostálgica, lembrando das refeições na casa da minha vó. O atendimento também é excelente, super recomendo!

Bom eu sou suspeito em falar do Restaurante Dona Preta, no Município de Santo Antonio do Aracangua, distrito de Vicentinopolis. O Serginho pessoa fantástica, ambiente familiar comida feita pela sua família, e o atendimento todo ele familiar ali você come a melhor comida caseira, de qualidade com varias opções sendo uma variável de salada, e depois aquele fogão a lenha onde você você encontra tudo de melhor qualidade desde um ovo frito e muito mais, e tudo isso por um preço justo tanto por quilo ou da forma que você preferir. Ambiente climatizado e após o almoço aquele café delicioso. Recomendo a todos da região.
