Paparoto Cucina

The restaurant is beautiful and well located. The food was good but not the most impressive as my sauce tasted a bit too sour for my taste. Minus point for a QRcode menu, it takes away from the fine dinning experience.

Proposed fine dining, but fall short on how it delivers. The food in general is fine with some failures. The service is not on the level of the restaurant. I'm a Brazilian living abroad visiting Brazil. This restaurant was on my list to go. And here is the experience. Arriving, we found out that the restaurant is providing a QR code menu. I'm not against it, but this is a fine restaurant... I reckon you should provide a proper menu. Because scrolling a wine list on a phone is not a good experience. While we were searching the wine, we asked for sparkling water, and they removed the wine glasses before we ordered the wine. We ordered the burrata with Ragu. Very well executed and good ragu, we ordered also the basket of bread, the breads were ok, nothing special. For the mains, we had the Rotolone, the Milanesa, and the Filetto. The Rotolone was very well executed, with nice flavours and textures. For me, it was the best dish of the night. The Filetto, the meat, was pretty tough and chewy. The flavours were intense, in general, ok. The Milanesa, which was good on flavour but poor execution. The crus was soggy, not crispy in any way. That made the dish a little bit underwhelming. For dessert, we had the tiramisu that had no flavour of coffee. The cotton candy was ok but very unbalanced due to the lack of bitterness of the coffee. And we had the vase. The vase was bad... the ganashe inside the vase was rock solid. That probably was in the fridge, and they didn't take it out on time. So made the experience pretty bad. The coffees were made on a proper espresso machine. That was very positive. Now the service, the staff seems they were not well trained for fine dining, from removing the wine glasses without asking, disappearing and just not delivering a good service in general. And they have a proper metri in the house. Very bad service for fine dining, we are paying a high price, so that should be the level of the service.

This is one out of two Paparoto Cucina restaurants in Sao Paulo. It was founded by the winner of the Brazilian Master Chef tv show. Both restaurants are in very upscale neighborhoods and though seek to match higher standards in both service and food excellence. We came for lunch and opted for the two-course menu with self-service from the antipasti table (which is located on the right handside when you enter the restaurant) and a main dish. The starters selection was nice and rather unspectacular yet the oven cooked garlic halfes made a nice spread. The meat was flawless whereas the fish I chose was rather plain (maybe just a slice of lemon would have done good to the fish). The service and hospitality was excellent and the staff was gorgeous, helpful and quick. It was a very good experience and the next time I think I would also go for a meat option. Very recommendable! Enjoy!

Everything was great .. drinks, appetizer and main course. Even their version of tiramisu was good but it isn’t a tiramisu if there isn’t a hint of coffee. Hence the four stars instead of five. If the restaurant is reading this review, it would be super cool and over the top if the cotton candy was coffee flavored and the server poured expresso on the cotton candy to melt and fall into the cream below.

One of the best entries I've ever eaten. Crunch burrata with sausage ragu dress. And for primo piato, some pasta called Rotolone a Bolognesa Chef special. Very good . For dessert, don't order anything, but the Tiramissu built like a tree was amazing. The environment is fantastic!!!!! I strongly recommend.

One of the best restaurants in SP. Loved absolutely everything, the food is superb, service is excellent. Can’t wait to go back! The burrata, pulp, tiramisu and drinks were a 10 out of a 10!

Ok food with excellent service.

Outstanding food and atmosphere. Dishes are beautiful! Mike, our server, was great! Delightful dinner!
