The best Italian pizzerias and restaurants São Paulo

Renowned Italian cuisine. Try spaghettinis to squid, for example.

Perhaps the most famous confiteria in São Paulo: Italian flavours and excellent espresso! Varied and delicious small furnaces.

Good Tuscan canteen in a simple and discreet atmosphere.

Terraço Italia has stood proudly on the 41st floor of the Edificio Italia, one of Sao Paulo's most emblematic buildings, for over 50 years. People come here for its Italian cuisine, entrusted to the expert hands of Tuscan chef Pasquale Mancini, and for the unique view over the city...some would say it's mostly for the view. Terraço is a complex of four rooms, including a bar. The fine wine list, with over 200 labels, is almost worth the trip to this magical place. Very chic. But relatively expensive.

The "Famiglia Mancini" restaurant is a venerable Paulist house with an excellent reputation, an icon of Italian cuisine in Sampa for some. In a typical and friendly setting, one comes here to taste very good pasta accompanied by a choice of about thirty sauces. Each dish can easily feed two people. In the same street, the family still owns a shop and two restaurants (of pizzas and fish)! The pizzas with salmon carpaccio or the fettucine with seafood and grilled eggplant are sure to please.

The Famiglia Manzoli is a restaurant that honours the cuisine of the boot, as its name suggests. It must be said that the Manzolis are cooks from father to son, since the grandfather Tuscan, and the father, passed by the Fasano, among others. It offers a good Italian cuisine, which pasta lovers (ravioli are particularly recommended) will appreciate. The pasta is made on the spot and the veal ravioli with butter and sage sauce definitely seems to be the attraction of the place. The grilled fish is also excellent.

Originally a beach restaurant, the Maremonti group, which as its name suggests promotes fine Italian cuisine, has set up one of its restaurants in the Brooklin neighborhood. The offer is varied and of high quality. Neapolitan pizzas, of course, handmade and certified by the Italian association of pizzaiolos, and a few variations (with brie, etc.), but also more sophisticated dishes (truffle risotto). Homemade pasta is not to be outdone (gnocchi, spaghetti, lasagne), including osso buco ragu . A fine address.

This restaurant, led by Chef Pichi, former of Emiliano and of the ancient Café, offers both a pleasant framework and a careful kitchen, which ranges from oak to robalo on its lit rice bed. Very good spaghetti with seafood. Desserts are not in rest (fruit salad with basil sherbet) The addition is not too salty. Some clients complained about the slowness of the service.

Small and inexpensive Italian restaurant. A pleasant address in a neighborhood that is no less. Good pasta and pizza, but also a whole range of Italian dishes. Zucchini stuffed at 17 réais, gnocchi at 22 réais. Open Tuesday to Sunday from 12 a. m. to 15 p. m. and from 19 p. m. to midnight.
