"Luiz Filipe Souza leads a new generation of talented chefs in the city. At Evvai, his first restaurant as a partner and head chef, he showcases modern Italian-accented dishes with worldwide inspirations. His creativity shines the most in inventive recreations of classics, like his take on the caprese salad (highlighting the textures of different tomatoes combined with house-made mozzarella) or the tournedos Rossini in which the foie gras is covered in onion molasses and then grilled in wood, delivered with a side of guava seasoned with juniper and watercress. Be sure to try the outstanding spaghetti with cauliflower and thick, flavorful chicken broth." - Rafael Tonon
"Rank: #26 "Luiz Filipe Souza opened Evvai in São Paulo’s upmarket Jardins neighbourhood in 2017, after training in Italian restaurants including Fasano and Piselli in São Paulo and Reale Casadonna in Castel di Sangro. In 2018, he represented Brazil in the Bocuse d'Or international cookery competition, reaching the finals in Lyon."
"Chef Luiz Filipe Souza’s story is first and foremost a reflection of his confidence and dedication—both key to his success at Evvai. Beyond this small bar is an elegant main dining room with views of the kitchen. The Italian cuisine is split between traditional à la carte dishes and a more innovative version of the tasting menu. The nine-course Oriundi option combines modern Italian cooking with a contemporary take on Brazilian cuisine." - Michelin Inspector
"A modern Italian restaurant in São Paulo that earned its first Michelin one-star in 2019, noted for contemporary interpretations of Italian cuisine within the city's vibrant fine-dining scene." - Monica Burton
"In Sao Paulo, chef Luiz Felipe Souza’s Evvia also received one star, for his 'modern Italian menu [featuring] dishes that are fresh, well-balanced and highly visual,' per MICHELIN inspectors." - Abbe Baker
