The cantina that was born in a flower shop

Délio Canabrava always dreamed of an Italian restaurant. Before opening, he spent a month in Italy visiting cantinas. He came back and opened Cantina do Délio in a former flower shop on Rua Itupava.

Tradition meets the chefs’ inventions, and even the simplest meal becomes a celebration.

A pinch of irreverence and generous helpings of good stories: ingredients no Italian table can do without.

Excellent experience! The dishes were delicious, especially the funghi ravioli with beef medallion. Cooked to perfection.
Rodrigo C.Itupava location
Loved it. Very attentive service, very cosy place. The pistachio risotto with beef cubes was delicious. I definitely want to come back.

An incredible place for a couple or a family. Truly delicious food, beautiful and cosy atmosphere. Mr Délio himself came by to greet every table.

Incredible! Sensational food, perfect pasta, and the sauce, no words. Generous portions too!

I’ve been a few times and always end up ordering the eggplant parmigiana. I think it’s one of the best in town.
Maria Antônia R.Itupava location
The ossobuco with tagliatelle was the best of the night. And the Boa Lembrança ceramics are beautiful.
