A bit far from the busy south part of the city (copacabana, ipanema, leblon), but they serve traditional italian cuisine at affordable prices.
Its a good chance to know the area San Cristovão and the palace Quinta da Boa Vista near by.

Arts & Culture
This is my FAVOURITE place in Rio. This used to be the house of a tycoon of finances in Rio in the 60's and now the family turned into a culture house.
They often have photography expositions and you can wonder around the beautiful garden outside.
There's also a little cinema inside and a restaurant.

Parks & Nature
A massive forest just inside the city. You can do hikes up to Vista Chinesa or rent a bike to go all around the road. You'll see many fellow bikers giving all they got to go up the hills.
A true experience of what was the eviroment in the coastline in the country, the Mata Atlantica. Now there are only 5% of this kind of forest in Brazil.

This is a "top 3 must do" in Rio. I know its a bit cliche, but once you see a massive sunset from Arpoador Stone you'll understand why they call Rio the "wonderfull city".
People often clap when the sun sets.
