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.

Loved it. Very attentive service, very cosy place. The pistachio risotto with beef cubes was delicious. I definitely want to come back.

I’ve been a few times and always end up ordering the eggplant parmigiana. I think it’s one of the best in town.

The ossobuco with tagliatelle was the best of the night. And the Boa Lembrança ceramics are beautiful.
