"Fasano has become a benchmark of hospitality, inspiring many restaurateurs in town. The restaurant’s formula is simple: quality ingredients, classic Italian recipes, excellent customer service, and one of the best sommeliers in the city, Manoel Beato. Known for riding his scooter around town and hosting a radio show about beverages, Beato has achieved local celebrity status. At Fasano, he gently guides diners without dictating stuffy rules, making every glass an approachable joy." - Rafael Tonon
