The Best Italian Restaurants in São Paulo

"For over two decades, Piselli, founded by Juscelino Pereira in Jardins, has been an emblem of perfected Italian classics. The name, meaning "peas" in Italian, speaks to the in-house signature: every dish decoration includes three peas. Inspired by Piedmontese cuisine, the kitchen champions clean flavors and high-quality ingredients. Highlights include burrata calda al tartufo, baked atop delicate focaccia; tortelloni filled with mozzarella di bufala in tomato and fresh basil sauce; and the classic ossobuco alla milanese with saffron risotto. The recipe for success is simple: Italian hospitality and pure flavor." - The MICHELIN Guide
