The Best Italian Restaurants in São Paulo

"Silvia and Lamberto Percussi's establishment—with Silvia leading the kitchen and Lamberto overseeing the dining room and wine list—reached its 40-year milestone, reaffirming its importance in Brazil’s food and wine culture. Founded in 1985 as a small wine shop, the restaurant evolved into a reference for merging exquisite dishes with the perfect pairing. In its new location, it maintains the cozy ambiance and classic Italian cuisine that earned its fame. Fresh pasta specialties shine, such as the flawlessly textured tonnarelli alla carbonara, the ossobuco in a rich and silky sauce, and the traditionally served tiramisu. The wine list, boasting over 300 labels, is a spectacle in itself—a reflection of Lamberto’s passion and rigor, one of the country's most respected sommeliers." - The MICHELIN Guide
