Cantina e Pizzaria Piolin, Italian restaurant in Consolação District, São Paulo, Brazil
Cantina e Pizzaria Piolin is an Italian restaurant housed in a traditional building across two levels in the Consolação neighborhood. The menu features a range of pizzas, pastas, and Italian dishes prepared according to long-standing recipes.
The restaurant was founded by José Alves de Godoy, known by the nickname Mosquito. Over time it relocated three times along Rua Augusta while keeping its original recipes intact.
The establishment became a gathering place for theater performers and actors who would come here after evening shows. This artistic connection remains visible in the types of conversations and the crowd that fills the tables throughout the week.
Opening times vary across the week, with different service schedules for different days to accommodate lunch and dinner service. It is helpful to check the schedule before visiting, as waits can vary depending on the day.
The house specialty is a lasagna à romanesca made with cream sauce, peas, ham, and mushrooms. This particular recipe has remained unchanged and continues to be a favorite among regular guests.
