\ud83d\udccb Research note for Fasano team:<\/strong> It would add a compelling layer to this section to know more about ingredient sourcing \u2014 specifically, which key ingredients are imported directly from Italy (cheeses, cured meats, olive oils, etc.) and which are sourced locally from Brazilian producers. This detail would enrich the culinary philosophy narrative and reinforce the bridge between Italian heritage and Brazilian context that is central to the Gero identity.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n At Restaurante Fasano, within Hotel Fasano S\u00e3o Paulo in Jardins, chef Luca Gozzani has led the kitchen since 2012. The restaurant has maintained a Michelin star since 2015, establishing high Italian gastronomy as the backbone of our culinary identity. Sommelier Manoel Beato completes the team, with a wine cellar built around Barolos, Brunellos and distinguished Ch\u00e2teaux \u2014 selections gathered over years of travel through the wine regions of Italy and France.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Classic Italian cuisine, when well executed, doesn’t need reinvention, it needs dedication. The menu navigates Italy’s regions with consistency, favoring risottos, pasta, meat and fish worked with technique and restraint.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Among the pastas, the buffalo mozzarella ravioli with fresh tomato and basil and the fettuccine with lamb rag\u00f9 and wild mushrooms are worth your attention \u2014 dishes that take time and care, and show it. The risotto selection shifts with the seasons: a classic with porcini, and a delicious pairing of shrimp and pumpkin. For mains, the grilled sea bass with caper sauce and the filet mignon medallion with Marsala remain much-loved reasons to return.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Desserts are handled with the same approach and attention to detail: a tiramis\u00f9 of real conviction, vanilla panna cotta, and pistachio profiteroles with mascarpone ice cream. The wine list holds its own alongside the kitchen \u2014 Italian labels lead, with a handful of Brazilian selections chosen for their complimentery character.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Hotel Fasano S\u00e3o Paulo Itaim was designed by architect Marcio Kogan in partnership with the aflalo\/gasperini studio. Here, Italian heritage meets contemporary design: freij\u00f3 wood panels, basalt stone floors and an integrated lobby that connects different areas of the building with fluidity. Gero Itaim restaurant accommodates 100 seats, plus a private space for up to 20 guests \u2014 useful to know if you’re planning a corporate dinner or a celebration that deserves particular attention \u2014 and a terrace.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Over at Hotel Fasano S\u00e3o Paulo, in Jardins, Marcio Kogan collaborated with Isay Weinfeld to design the space, where parquet flooring, Persian rugs, Venetian moldings and Murano glass fixtures filter the light to create a calm elegant atmosphere. Restaurante Fasano seats 80 guests in the main dining room, with an additional private room for 26 people too.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n At the same address, Baretto, voted by Wallpaper\\<\/em> Magazine* as the world’s best bar, maintains its program of bossa nova and cool jazz until midnight, when the repertoire migrates to swing and bebop. Caetano Veloso, Chico Buarque and Jamie Cullum have performed there, giving the space a musical dimension entirely its own.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Gero’s strength in S\u00e3o Paulo lies, in part, in its capacity to exist in multiple contexts without losing identity. Opened in 2023 to mark the original restaurant’s 30th anniversary, Gero Itaim planted the same Italian approach in Itaim Bibi \u2014 one of the city’s most concentrated hubs of business and nightlife \u2014 that has defined the group since Vittorio Fasano opened Brasserie Paulista in 1902.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The expansion of the Gero concept to Rio de Janeiro, Belo Horizonte and Salvador follows the same logic: not to replicate a formula, but to translate a culinary philosophy to each context. At Gero Rio, within Hotel Fasano Rio de Janeiro, executive chef Luigi Moressa creates dishes inspired by the climate and rhythm of Rio without abandoning classic foundations. In Belo Horizonte and Salvador, the same rigor in ingredients, risottos, pasta, fish and meat, defines the experience, with nuances that dialogue with each city’s identity. Gero Salvador also features a climate-controlled wine cellar integrated into the dining room, a detail that underlines our appreciation of the relationship between wine and food.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n What unites all these locations is the refusal to compromise. Gero doesn’t serve generic Italian cuisine. It serves Italian cuisine with authorship \u2014 and whether you find yourself in S\u00e3o Paulo, Rio or Salvador, that distinction is always worth the journey.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n You’ll find Gero Itaim<\/strong> in Hotel Fasano S\u00e3o Paulo Itaim, at Rua Pedroso Alvarenga, 706, Itaim Bibi.
