Picchi

If you have a craving for a good bowl of pasta, book a table at Picchi, an Italian restaurant located on the ground floor of the Regent Park hotel in the Jardins district with its upscale boutiques and art galleries. Here, chef Pier Paolo Picchi looks back to his childhood memories to create highly interesting cuisine that is showcased in enticing dishes based around classic Italian recipes and, in some cases, a more innovative approach that makes full use of the best seasonal Brazilian ingredients. The à la carte, which includes the traditional gnocchi, spaghetti, tortelli, pappardelle etc, is complemented by three set menus: one specially created for aficionados of Italian pasta called Tutto Pasta; a second called Tradizione; and a third (Picchi) which has more of a gastronomic feel. During the evening, the space takes on a more romantic atmosphere and offers a broad selection of Italian and French wines!

What makes Picchi distinct

• A three-track set menu system: Tutto Pasta, Tradizione, and Picchi let diners choose between pasta-first comfort and a more ambitious tasting arc.
• Italian memory, Brazilian seasonality: the kitchen works like an Italian restaurant that refuses to ignore where it is, São Paulo ingredients are part of the point.
• Hotel address, restaurant attitude: despite the Regent Park setting, the cooking is personal and chef-driven, not generic room-service luxury.

Signature Ingredients

• Handmade pasta: gnocchi, spaghetti, tortelli and pappardelle form the backbone of the kitchen, treated as the main event rather than a side act.
• Seasonal Brazilian produce: local ingredients are used to refresh Italian classics, keeping the cooking anchored in São Paulo’s markets as much as in Italy.
• Italian, French wines: the cellar leans heavily on European references, built for pairing across pasta, seafood and meat courses.
