Jamie's Italian São Paulo

The reason of my one star is because you cannot use a celebrity name to attract customers and cheat them with such basic and even below basic culinary and quality of preparation. The ragú, which must be the cover letter, is terrible. The texture of the pasta feels like a college meal prepared by a flatmate. And the Broccoli burned and dry with no flavor

Somebody tells Jamie they put cream in the risotto there!!! I am almost sure of that, would like to confirm other’s opinion, but the risoto doesn’t look like done the Italian way. Well, a part from that it was lacking flavor, a proper risotto/sauce “ao limone” has lemons flavor, mine was really blend. Chicken was well done and I liked the desert, but nothing special. I was really expecting more, plus it was very expensive for what was served.

It’s currently one of our favorite restaurants in São Paulo. We usually order the Pear&Pinole Salad with grilled salmon and a gluten-free pasta. The environment is very pleasant, like a wooden cabin surrounded by a nice garden. The mushroom risotto is another must try! It is delicious!

We had looked at the menu before visiting and felt it looked good. We arrived at 7pm and were the only people in. Were seated under a noisy and cold AC unit, so asked to move. Only two other tables got filled while we were there and one of those also asked to be moved further from the AC. My husband had a starter which he said was nice although looked like two small slices of bread spread with ricotta and topped with a total of four roasted tomatoes , halved. My main course of mushroom risotto was barely edible. A rim of oil around the dish and also resting in a lot of oil. Minimal taste apart from the oil. My husband ordered the cauliflower gnocchi which was edible but nothing special and would certainly not order again. To redeem things my husband persuaded me to order a desert , which was a lemon meringue cheesecake. Presentation wasn’t great, it was edible, but again I would definitely not repeat it. Overall a very disappointing meal and even had it been cheaper it would not have been worth it. Very sad.

The place is cozy, the service was good, and the food is very good. Nothing extraordinary, but very good, and in fair quantity. The price is not high. I ate the burrata, which was delicious, but the nuts had a small insect. Also ordered the parmegiana eggplant, which was wonderful, with stir-fried vegetables, but those were slimy, and I could eat.

The restaurant has an excellent location and the decoration brings a romantic look, good place for couples. The entries have an option of shrimp that has an amazing sauce with it. The main dishes are plenty, I'd recommend eating the Rib Eye Steak with truffle butter, is a culinary orgasm, the only problem is that you finish always wanting a bit more. The fries on the side dishes are Ok, not that crunchy and a bit heavy to go with the dish, would like them cut thinner. For the pasta, their bolognese sauce is very good and the pasta usually comes in a large quantity, so be hungry!

Modern Italian cuisine, cosy ambient, very friendly staff and great selection of dishes and wine. You will like overall experience. Don't miss Italian Nachos. You'll love it. Caution: very hot (spicy). I used Google maps to get there and sent me to wrong entrance: be aware to go to Horacio Lafer Street ( and not Clodomiro Amazonas Street).

A stuning experience. Everything was impeccable, from the attention, the quality of the dishes, aromas, flavors, textures, impressive. I have no doubt why it has a Michelin recognition
