São Paulo reaffirms its title as the capital of Italian gastronomy with the arrival of Mata CittàRecently opened in the prestigious Cidade Matarazzo complex, the restaurant occupies an area of 1.600 m² and transports the visitor to the atmosphere of... sweet life and classic Italian films.
Conceived by Alex Allard, the space is a tribute to the heritage of Italian immigrants in São Paulo, focusing on the pleasure of sharing and warm hospitality.
Set design and identity: 7 restaurants in 1

- Dolce vita, capo e conde: Spaces that range from classic to sophisticated.
- Kitchen and terrace: Focus on freshness and outdoor living.

The aesthetic makes extensive use of warm lighting, velvets, and artistic interventions, creating a luxurious and welcoming retreat just a few meters from Avenida Paulista.
