🍴 Luxury Italian Dining Near São Paulo's Fashion District! 🌟

Tucked near the upscale shopping strip, this Italian gem boasts an open kitchen, a climate-controlled wine cellar, and a sleek cocktail bar—setting the stage for an elegant meal. 🥖 Bread Heaven: 26 Reais Well Spent 🥖 For 26 reais per person, enjoy unlimited fresh-baked bread—and trust me, you’ll want to refill. Three types rotate daily: think fluffy focaccia, crusty ciabatta, and soft milk bread, all served warm from the oven. Pair with trio of dips: green pepper meat sauce steals the show, while olive tapenade and herb butter are close seconds. Neighboring tables literally ordered drinks just to snack on these! 🍞 🥩 Decadent Mains: Foie Gras & Truffle Steak 🧀 Foie Gras & Black Truffle Steak: Tender beef topped with a generous slab of seared foie gras, drizzled in truffle sauce. Served with cheesy potato gratin—the richness is perfectly balanced, never overwhelming. Lasagna al Forno: Thin, delicate pasta layers smothered in two sauces (tomato and béchamel), plus a hint of mozzarella. Light yet flavorful—easily the best I’ve tried in SP. Creamy Salmon: Pan-seared salmon (solid, if unremarkable) paired with a stellar side: edamame, roasted veggies, pumpkin puree, and cream-filled rigatoni. Comfort food at its finest. 🍮 Desserts & Drinks: Zesty vs. Nutty 🍹 Pistachio Pudding: Rich and nutty, though too sweet for my taste. Yuzu Passionfruit Pudding: Tangy, refreshing, and perfectly balanced—ideal for cutting through heavy mains. Alcohol-Free Mojito: Fresh mint, lime, and soda—crisp, citrusy, and perfect for non-drinkers (or teens!). 👌 Service & Vibe: Italian Hospitality at Its Best Staff are attentive and welcoming, happily reheating dishes or refilling bread six times without a second glance. The crowd is a mix of Italian expats and fashion crowd, sipping on regional wines from the extensive list. 💡 Tips Book Ahead: Popular for lunch (till 4 PM) and dinner (from 7 PM); closed Sundays at 5:30 PM. Skip Tiramisu… This Time: Was sold out during my visit—save room for bread instead! With mains around 100 reais and an ambiance that screams “special occasion,” this spot is a must for bread lovers, pasta fanatics, and anyone craving a touch of Italian luxury. 🍷✨ #Brazil #ItalianCuisine #BreadLovers #FashionDistrictDining
