The story
In the Pinheiros neighborhood of São Paulo, Vinheria Percussi has been a destination for authentic Italian cuisine since 1985. The restaurant’s philosophy is simple: "Tiramos a toalha, para mostrar a essência. Trocamos os pratos, para mostrar a arte." They remove the tablecloth to reveal the essence, and change the plates to show the art. The result is a welcoming space that invites guests on a direct, non-stop journey to Italy.
The menu at Vinheria Percussi is a deep dive into Italian culinary tradition, with a strong emphasis on handmade pasta. Dishes like the Fettuccine di spinaci ai funghi a funghetto (spinach pasta with mushroom sauce) and Ravioli di mozzarella di bufala al sugo showcase the kitchen’s skill. Classics such as Lasagne alla bolognese and Ossobuco di manzo in umido con risotto alla milanese are prepared with care. For those who prefer a lighter start, the Burrata & pomodori is a simple, perfect beginning. The restaurant also offers a "Della Nostra Cucina" menu with larger format dishes, like Baccalà al forno con patate dolce e porri, designed for sharing.
The restaurant is a family affair, with the names Silvia Percussi and Lamberto Percussi featured prominently. Their passion for combining flavors, places, and people is the driving force behind the kitchen. This personal touch, combined with a dedication to quality, has earned the restaurant a Michelin Recommended award, a testament to its consistent excellence and its carefully curated wine list, which is a highlight of the experience.
